The Aldrich Manufacturing com pany's Union mills at Moosup resumed operations Monday morning, but not with a full complement of hands. A big majority of the 7c0 employees did not return to their work durin., the da:; although, it was statt.1 at the plar9, the E.anas cement was well pleased with tue showing made anl t..s some opera:..:. es ws- at work n every deparLm al. enough to insure the indefinite operation of the plant. More workers were on hand during the afternoon hours than during the morning, time when many of the operatives seemed to be wa4ting to see what others would do. Superin- tendent Harry Richardson said that more operatives were at work Monday afternoon than the mill company had expected to return on the first day and that others had promised to be on hand and again take up their work this morning.
 At strike headquarters, an invitation to make a statement to the press was declined by MT. Massey, who said that he represented Mir. Rouleau, directing the strike, but temporarily absent from Moosup. Mir. Massey explained that it was against MT. Rouleaus instructions to give out any statements in his ab- sence. Some urging brought forth a declaration that mot more than five people" had returned to work Monday and that the number in the mill during the afternoon was just about the same" ss in the morning. Neither represen- lative of the mill company nor a rep resentative of the strikers would accept m opportunity to tell exactly how many strikers had returned to work. For the benefit of the public however, 1t may be stated that only a small percentage of those on strike, or out because of the strike, returned to work during Monday.
 It was said for the strikers that they are preparing a statement that will be given out for publication soon. Monday no other statement than that the com pany's claims of being pleased with the days results was mere 'propaganda" Sould be obtained.
 Superintendent Richardson said Mon- day afternoon that there is not par ticle of truth in the story circulating n Moosup during the day that the com pany had posted notice of a reduction n wages. No such notices have been posted, MT. Richardson declared, and no such action has been contemplated. He characterized the story as mere pro- paganda intended to strengthen the Dtrikers in their determination to stay put. However he declared himself as sery well pleased with the results ob- tained during the day and over the pros pect of even more satisfactory gains to- fay (Tuesday).
 The company remains as firm as adamant against any recognition of the anion. the main issue of the strike
 All was as quiet and orderly in the vi ,inity of the Union mills during Monday as on any other day of the strike.
 As near as can be ascertained by q canvass of those who have returned Ballots in the poll that is being made throughout the United States by a New York publication to determine the at titude of the people toward the eight eenth amendment and the olstead act Danielson remains a wet" community by about two to one.
 Up to the present time practically nc one excepting telephone subscribers have received ballots from the lot of 10, .O00 eventually going into every stat' In the Union. the telephone directory having been used for a milling list.
 Others in many walks of life who art without telephones will get ballots la fer and the opportunity to vote one way pr the other. Inquiry of many here whC have voted and a checl,-up from conf dential sources would indicate the bo- ouEh's vote so far to be about two U one against the Volstead act as 1t nov stands. The vote here is not near be ng complete, however.
