SILK WEAvERS OUT
AS THE STRIKE BUG
HITS THIS CITY
WORKERS ASK RAISE OF TWO
CENTS PER YARD AND
QUIT WHEN REFUSED

The strike bug has hit Belding and
where heretofore the industrial wa
ters have been calm as a mirror, when
the little bug of dissatisfaction was
put to work he soon spread his prop
aganda and Tuesday noon when the
microbe had finished the surface wass
all ripples and petition asking for
a raise in the pay of weaving of from
seven cents, the present price, to
nine cents, was sent in to the office.
This raise the strikers" aver, was
denied them with the result that they
staged the first walkout ever in the
history of the local silk mills.
The strikers claimed there were
109 of them all told and claimed that
there were 8 more joined the cause
Wednesday morning. INQUIRY at the
offices of the company was to the ef-
feet that they did not know just how
many of the girls were out, but
thought it somewhere near that num-
ber. Further the company had at
present nothing to give out on the
strike situation.
Many of the girls reside at the
company boarding houses where the
nominal sum of $3.44 per week Is
charged for board and lodging. These
are still enjoying the privileges and
conveniences of the homes, even tho
they are on strike. A girl striker
told us that she could make as high
at S5S for two weeks work, running
four looms. She also stated that this
was about the limit which could be
made. Deducting her board of $6.Ss
for the two week period. left her on
on average of $45 to $50, as she fig-
ured it. She thought that the raise
would amount to about $l.OO per day
more in her case.
A few of the girls and older women
weavers are still at work and these
are termed "slackers" when they ap-
pear on the streets.
1t is hoped the affair can be ami
cably settled before tonight or to-
morrow.

which followed. the policeman was
roughly handled.
The mass surged from the foot of
the pole and became entangled in
the wires from the arc light on
which the flag had been hung. Sew

by the current. An investigation
by school and police authorities
and prosecutions are expected. The
banner was destroyed by the senior

Urging upon his hearers the

people enwrapped in its folds. Sec
retary of State cambridge Colby
was the principal speaker at the
annual Flag Day exercises of

ernoon in the Sylvan Theater, Po-

Referring to the Republican ma
tional convention which has jus,
closed, he said:
For a week, the attention of the
country has been centered upon the
struggle in Chicago OF one Of tn,
great national parties to agree upor
a candidate for the highest office in
the land. We have followed the
swaying fortuhes of rival candi-
dates. We have seen long pursued
efforts culminate in the supreme
exertion of the convention hour.
The week has been marked by va
liant attack and stout defense, by
bitter recrimination. but, ! am glad
to add, by much good nature. There
have been some illusions to coun-
try in the outgivings which have
reached US from the convention
city but a great deal more has been
said about party and party sue
cess.
How right and proper-indeed.

comes swift upon the heels of a
period so given over to personal
striving and selfish turmoil. We
have heard the din of rarty and OF
faction and OF men. Let US hearken

tion's flag as IL calls US upward from
the level OF party otrife to the Sc
rener heights of 6uty end thoughts

Time for Lofty Action.
These are times in which we
should have the flag not only In our
hearts. but in our minds and on our
lips. The times call for great ac-
tior. for high and disinterested ac-
tion. We have problems at home
which clamor for solution and which
can te solved only in the spirit of
the flag. We have duties abroad
which are long postporec and which
can be only discharged IN the noble
and generous Spirit OF the flag.
1T Is a flag OF glory. 1t is a
flag which has moved forward en-
every field. never backward: and to =.

emblem of a moral retreat upon
that field of highest service, the
rescue of a world. &c which our

w. L. Dodd was slated for re-
election. apparently unopposed.
Among those running for council
was DR.. w. s. Loveiace. Mayor
Dood believed his selection assured.
But the returns told q different
tale. A quiet campaign preceded
the election. Thirty-one voters
wrote in the name of DR.. LoveIace
Tor mayor. and Dodd. receiving
only seventeen votes, was declared
defeated.
Friends Of DR.. Lovelace say the
physician had nothing to do with
the ''pussyfoot" development.
