Columbus. Miss, July 10.-(Special)-Fo the first time during the 30 years that if has been in operation the Tombigbee cotton mill is tied up by strike, hav- ing been forced to suspend activities yes terday, when operatives in the spinning room summarily quit work. Employes in other departments did not strike, but the refusal of the spinners to continue work forced the plant to close down.
 E. M. Shropshire, president of the com many. who also acts as superintendent, was absent from the city when the strik CTS walked out, and when informed of this fact by Secretary T. O. Burris, Jr., the employees stated that had they known this the strike would not have taken place. They decided. however, that as the step had already been taken they would not resume work until he returns. Mir Shropshire has been connected with the company for number of years, hav- ing worked as an operative and worked himself up to the presidency. and as the employees have unlimited confidence in him it is believed that he will experience little difficulty in placating them, and that they will soon return to work.
