also were issued to strikers and
sympathizers, with the exception of
these pickets. to remain at their
homes tomorrow. The claim of one
mill owner that there was no lack
of operatives willing to work was
answered by James Starr, in charge
of the strike here, and by other lead
ers who said only handful of men
and women would report for duty. At
meetings held throughout the day
strike leaders urged New Hampshire
operatives to stand firm.

the governor on two occasions refused
to take this step. sFor many weeks no
important moves toward arbitratinE
the differences between mill owners
and strikers were made. Last month
State Labor Commissioner Davie pro-
posed that the operatives return to
work on a 4S-hour schedule pending
arbitration of the questions at issue.
This was refused. and later in the
month Governor Brown held a series
of conferences at Concord with mill
owners. strikers and officials of cities

progress.

said. had refused proposal for ar

also a compromise on . basis of 81

reduction. 1t was Immediately after
these negotiations were abandoned
that the mills made public their inten-

Saturday morning, June 3rd,, Ben

of the most prominent business men
in this city, passed away at his home
on Winthrop street, at the age of
81 years and five months. He was
the last of q generation of able
business men OF Augusta whose
reputation extended throughout the
State and beyond.
Mr. Parrot came to Augusta when
a very young man and entered the
employ of his uncle, Benjamin Rust,
one of the early merchants of this
city. Later he was employed by John
Macarthur, who built the house on
Winthrop street which subsequently
became Mr.. PARROTS home. Still
later he was clerk for Arno Bittues,
and then in partnership with the late
Henry W. Bradbury. bought the
business from Mr.. Bittues, and the
firm of PARROT & Bradbury and later
b. L. Parrot & Co. conducted a large
and lucrative wholesale and retail
flour and grain business for many
years.
Mr.. Parrot retired from active
business in 1901, but he continued to
keep his interest in all public affairs
and his health remained good until
within short time before his death.
He has been q faithful and valued
trustee of the Augusta Savings Bank
for % years and it's vice president for
IA years. He was also a trustee of
the Lithgow Library and Reading
Room for IS years.

sound judgment and wise counsel.
He believed implicitly in the old
fashioned virtues of hard work, good
habits and thrift as the key to sue
cess. and he practiced what he
preached. His own remarkably sue
cessful business life furnishes proof
of the correctness of his views.
lie is survived by a son, Arthur F.
Parrot of this city, who was for a
long time associated in business with
his father, and by a daughter, Miss
Florence e. PARROT, who has minis

years with full measure of loving
and tender devotion. Mrs. PARROT.
