NON-UNIONISTS RETURN TO
WORK IN TEXTILE MILLS

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. Most
of the textile mills which have been
closed for two weeks, reopened today
with small forces. The 1000 high
priced operatives who were not az
filiated with the strikers, but who had
remained away from work because OF
fear of personal molestation, reported
back to their looms under the protec-
ton OF the militiamen. Strike leaders
insist that this would make no differ
ence in the general strike.
Strike Leader Yates, who took
charge after Ettor and Giovanneti
were jailed, issued formal statement
today, saying:
The hope of the mill owners that
by falling Ettor ana Giovanneti they
had broken the backbone OF the
strike was futile. II the mill owners

as they will be OFF their guard. Even

BUDGET TO TOTAL CLOSE
TO SEVENTEEN MILLION
Stiff Pruning Necessary To
Hold Amount Down to Last
Years Figures

The estimates for 1912 will total
close to s17,00o.O00. or about $1,000
600 IN excess of the budget allowed
for 1911. The estimates now I'm the
hands OF the city controller aggregate
$l3,394,756, and there are several de
partments to hear from between now
and Feb. s, when all the estimates
must be in. II is estimated that these
will exceed s3.000.000 by several hun
dred thousand dollars.
The Board of Education, in commit
tee OF the whole, Wednesday after
non, added sl24.210 TO the budget
turned over by the special committee
on estimates and pruned very lightly.
I'm fact, the only item cut out was one
OF $1,000 for an addition to the Palmer
school. The item for the purchase
OF the ID. A. G. as a site for a new ad-
ministration building as well as ath-
letic grounds, was allowed to stand
after a brief discussion. Inspector
Cary announced that Andrew Ii.
Green, Jr., had offered the use or
from eight to 10 acres OF ground on
the Dearborn-rd., between the McMil.
ian and Morley schools, for play
ground purposes II the board would
furnish the necessary equipment and
supervision. The board accordingly,
inserted an item of $3.50 for this pur-
pose.
The boards total budget now stands
at $4.129,314.44. but from this sum
there will be deducted estimated pri.
mary moneys TO the amount of $780,
900 and $4,000 In estimated interest on
funds.

rotary was approved and Mr.. Gadd

sition.

"The presidents speeches in New

nomination in the strongest terms.
This was followed by a meeting OF
the general Republican committee OF
