Lawrence MATS, March The number
Of striking mill workers returning 70 work
was materially increased to-day. II IS es-
timated that az least three thousand opera-

the last few days II Is also true, however,
that the ranks OF the strikers have received
additions in the same period. but the desire
to return 70 work seems 70 be more gen
eral.

for hfty-four hours work each week will
not be sufficient 10 attract the main BODY

Associs ton has decided 10 appoint commit
tees to call upon the mill owners in an

II is estimated that fifteen thousand opera
