Raleigh. h.--Striking operatives OF the

cate the houses that they occupy in
the mill village, at once, or be prepar-
ed to return to work early in the new
year. Any operative who wishes to
return to work on the same conditions
already announced, may have his job
back, accordfsg to a statement by Mr.
A. Y. Kelley, general manager OF the
company.
1t was rumored that the strikers
had employed counsel to resist the or
der for eviction, but leaders of the
union would neither confirm or deny
the report. A meeting Of all the
strikers has been called, at which, 1t
is stated, the matter will be discussed
fully.
There are about 75 of the company's
houses occupied at present by strik-
ers who refuse to return to work un.
til their union has been recognized.
Just what steps they may take to re-
tain possession of the houses is not
known unless they seek an injunction
against the eviction order and put up
a bond for the payment Of the rent.
The company will very probably fight
the Injunction, IL asked for, on the
grounds that it is not renting the
houses for profit. but maintains them
for the facilitation Of the operation OF
their plant here. t
