Operatives Announce Plan to Leave
Mills After Eight Hours Each
Day.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 27.-The move
ment among textile workers for the
inauguration of universal eight-hour
day in the industry beginning next
Monday was extended today to COM
prise approximately one-half the mill
industry in New England. Workers
IN Fall River, the textile center of
Rhode Island, and of the Blackstone
valley in Massachusetts, Salem and
Biddeford and Saco, Maine, joined in
the demand previously made by oper-
atlves at Lawrence, Lowell and Man
chester, N. H. The mills in these cities
employ an aggregate of upwards of
100000 persons.
Nationwide in Scope.
In addition announcement was made
that other centers of the mill indus
try would be asked to join the move
ment at meetings to be held during
the week.
The success of the movement, as
inaugurated by the United Textile
Workers Of America, would mean, ac-
cording to statement by President
John Golden, of Fall River, an eight
hour day for textile plants in all
parts of the country. President Gold
en- today said the employees wanted
the same pay for forty-eight hours
they had received for the longer work.
Refused so Far.
Mill owners in some instances have
made no answer to the demands, but
wherever there has been a reply it has
been a refusal. w. Frank Shove,
president of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers, announced a
few days ago that few representa-
tives of that organization and of the
Silk Association of America were
agreed that the demand should be re-
jected, and it was stated today that
this announcement covered the present
position of the organization which
represents the manufacturers in New
England.
A representative Of the cotton man
ufacturing interests in this city said
today that the mill owners felt GER
tain there would be no strike. He

Science says that old age begins
with weakened kidneys and digestive

:. This being true, it is easy to be-

soprano, and jacques Thibaud, vio-
linist. Nine. Stanley. first known
to the American public as one of
our foremost singers on the operate
stage, has since triumphed in the
difficult art of the recitalist. Her
winning personality, together with
an intellectual artistry which guides
voice of unusual purity and
smoothness. are the factors in this
success.
jacques Thibaud. French by birth,
but international by fame. is worthy
of the praise which is showered
upon him. His playing is always
that of the music-thinker, and he
brings to his art poetic insight
which differentiates it from that of
the mere technician.

Accuses NeighbOrs Of Swearing
His House With Eggs.

Beloit, Wis, Aug. 2O-A terrific set
back to the anti-H. G. of L. campaign
has been unearthed just west of Be-
lott. When Chas. Wood returned
home from his milk route the other
morning, he was aghast to discover
the walls and ceiling of his kitchen
dripping with smashed eggs. A large
basket of the hen fruit" which he
had left earlier in the morning, had
been used as 'shand grenades," with
deadly effects on the kitchen. In adj
dition to this, two stoves were knock
ed down and broken, and other furni-
ture mishandled. Mr.. Wood remem-
bered the Mystery of the Rue
Morgue." Was another fear-madden-
ed orangoutang at large in Newark
township? Mr.. Wood trembled. Then
he remembered that he had trouble
with two brothers living near him.
William and Delos Stillwell. Yester-
day Mr.. Wood came to Beloit and
sWore out warrant for the pair
charging them with maliciously and
willfully destroying property. The
Stillwells, both in their early TWEEN
ties, pleaded not guilty and the case
was set for next week Thursday.
