WOODEN STRIKE RESUMED.
Z 900 Return. But Walk Out Again
During Day.

Passaic, n. j., March 27.-Nearly
1000 WOODEN Workers in the plants Of
the Botany Worsted Mills and the
Gera Mills, who returned to their
places Tuesday, after strike which
lasted eight weeks, again walked out
yesterday aftern DON, because, the
strikers declared, the companies dis
charged leaders of the labor move
ment and members of the workers
Shop Committee, contrary to their
a.greeme tent when the strike was ended.
The manufa cturers would make no
statement as to the causes of the
second walkout.
Employees of the Garfield Worsted
Mills who returned to work yester-
day and walked out before the day
was over, gave the same reason for
their action.
Without having made any offer to
the striking employees, Acheson Har-
den company, handkerchief manu-
facturers, opened their gates this
morning to striking employees. About
$50 of the 1900 workers returned.

Berlin, March 27.-Reports Of cruel
