 The plant of the Killingly Manu- featuring company at Williamsville was tied up Wednesday as the result of a shortage of materials in some de- partments following a walkout of em- ployes in the card1ng and cOmb1ng de- fcombers and carders do the prepara- tory work in the mill and the closing of these departments forced the clos ing of others.
 It was said at the mill office We'd. nesday that the carders and combers walked out without presenting any grievance. Through conferences with , them later 1t was learned that they want a 10 per cent. advance in wages, claiming that this would only place them on a basis with other mills in this section manufacturing the same line cf goods An investigation by the mill officials developed the fact, it was stated, that the wage scale is as hlghs or higher, in some departments, as any other plant in the same line of work in this section, as far as could be learned.
 The mill officials are anxious to meet every legitimate demand of the discon- i tented employees and 1t is hoped that an adjustment will be reached before l the end of the week. The mill officials have made offers that are, in some l cases, better than has been asked for, but up to Wednesday the conferences l had brought no result. Numbers of employees in other than the combing and carding departments have been at l the office and declared themselves anx- l ious to get back to their jobs, out of ] which they are being kept for the mo- ment by the dissatisfaction in few 1 departments.
