STRIKERS GOING BACK.
MechanicsvilIe Employers Want Them and They in Turn Want Work.


 More operatives who have been away from the mill for four weeks went back into the plant of the French River Textile company at Mechanicsville on Thursday and again took up their work. An official of the company said during the afternoon that more will come back today and that applications for places are being received and ac- cepted. Operatives who were forced out when the strike was declared and who have since found employment elsewhere are now working their mo- tices and will be back in the Mechan- icsville plant in a few days.
 Indications Thursday were that the strike was broken, as far as holding up the operation of the plant is con cerned. The only word of discord that was heard was the threat of a strike leader to do something which second and sober thought will probably lead him to reconsider, but this threat was overheard by various persons and came to the attention of the mill officials. It was learned Monday that it has been pointed out to one or two of [ leaders among the strikers by officials of the company that they are probably l doing a wrong to some of the opera | lives who want to return to work in l advising against their doing so. This ! applies to operatives whom the com | pany are desirous of having back at work and means the retention at Me- 1 chanicsville of good families that al, would regret to see leaving there.
 The strikers maintained Thursday their picket line about the plant, but there was no disturbance, the absence of any trouble at any time since the strike started being one of the satis- flying features of the difficulty.
