Weayers Strike at Warren Mill.

| Seventy of the employees of tht
 weaving department of the Warrer Woolen mill went out on strike Mon , day morning when the company re
 fused to reinstate Romeo Ferrazzi
 When Ferrazzi was discharged a com
 the mill, but the reinstatement ot
 Ferrazzi was refused so they decided
 to quit work. In regard to the matter
 the Warren Woolen company made
 this statement: We refused to re-
 instate Romeo Ferrazzi for various
 reasons. We have had frequent com plaints as to the kind of a house he
 was conducting, especially on Sun
 days. intoxicated persons coming from
 there repeatedly. He was warned to
 desist, but refused, point blank, to do so. Last week he was caught by fed
 eral officers with still in his posses
 sion and absented himself from his
 duties. The better element of work
 CTS have asked that he Ie dismissed
 but a number of his friends have
 worked up a sympathetic strike and
 have demanded that he e taken ack,
 so al out 70 have gone out. The other | departments are being operated at present"
 The workers met in Society hall on
 Tuesday morning and decided to stay on strike till Ferrazzi is taken back. | In reply to the statement made by the company the workers made the fol- lowing one:
 | Though the Warren Woolen Com | lany has said that intoxicated persons | "a repeatedly come from the home | )f Romeo FerraZzi, especially on Sun | taJs. they cannot prove it. We de- | :,are it to be a false statement. The own authorities have made no such | complaint. We do not believe that he discovery of still in his posses lion should interfere with his position | in the mill. The overseer of the | weaving department has, in the presence of our committee and the | superintendent of the mill, declared him to te as good worker as he has under him. He gave notification that he would be absent so there should be no fault to find there. There is ut one element in that part of the mill in which Ferrazzi worked as evidenced by the fact that everyone in it went out, Of their own accord, when the company refused to reinstate him. It is not in sympathy with Ferrazzi that we have struck, but for the principle involved"
