predicting an early and unusually
severe winter and their opinions are
hacked by the animals in the parks

lotte and Concord failed to materiallze

Chadwick -Hoskins string remain idle,
Secretary and Treasurer Dwelle re-
porting that no attempt was made 10
start these plants. Operatives OF the
Brown mill in Concord appeared at
the plant this morning in body and
agreed to go to work if accepted in
that collective capacity. The manage
ment refused to accede to these terms,
agreeing, however, to employ them IN
diyidually. The workers left the prem
ises in a body. Other mills IN Con-
cord which have been affected by the
strike continued running today with
restricted force. The failure OF the
operatives to return TO their work this
morning was contrary TO expectations
of those who have been eXerting them
selves to break the strike, especially
TO Labor Commissioner McWade, who
has repeatedly made the statement
within the past few days that confer

the strike movement would result in
the return to work today OF every
striker. Developments in Concord are
reported today as furnishing new

General Metts left Concord Monday

the mills would reopen today.
