fore Columbus.

cral books on the Swedes in Ameri-
ca. The society of which he is pres
ident is supporting a movement for
the celebration Of the 300th anniver-
sary of Swedish settlement in Amer
lea.
In about 1908, DR.. johnson said
the saga showed Karlsefni. partly
descended from a Swedish uplander,
fitted out an expedition and sailed
from Sweden with his wife and some
settlers to visit Vinland. as the Vik-
ings had christened America. He
took ample supplies and cattle. in

was driven high on the beach at

W0ONS0CKET MILL
IS CLOSED TODAY
Branch Of ManYile-JenCkS
Plant Is Affected

Woonsocket, R. l., Feb. II Up
The social mill of the Manville-
Jenckes company was closed down
this morning after the employees arr
rived for work as usual and found
the following notice posted in the
various departments: I'VE are very
sorry to be obliged to inform the
operators of the social mill that in
asmuch as we have apparently fail
ed TO get their cooperation In our
efforts to improve its operating con-
ditions we shall be obliged TO dis
continue operations"
The workers gathered up their
tools and clothing, left the plant in
orderly manner and the mill was
closed indefinitely.
AS the employees arrived in the
several departments they We're told
that some of the latter would be
run until the stock was exhausted
and a small proportion of the oper-
atives took up their tasks. but of
the 1900 workers employed in the
plant the number remaining was
very small.
The action taken today is the eli
max OF situation which came to
public attention about a month ago,
when the Manville Jenckes company
operators of three textile plants
here and one in Manville. sought a
conference with business. banking
and civic organizations with 4 view
to bringing about solution Of the
problem caused by the general tex
tile depression.
At conference President Jenckcs
told of appalling losses" during the
last two years and said the remedy
lay in longer hours of labor, reduc-
ed property taxes and greater eff
cency on the part of the workers.
He said that a decision must be
reached within 80 days.
Since the conference meetings of
the Social Mill employees have been
held but the sentiment has been ad-
verse to longer hours and poor man.
agement has been charged as the
real cause of the mills plight. So
far as can be learned the company's
mill at Manville will continue to OPP
crate. The Noussc mill in this city
has been closed for several months
but the Globe plant is running with
a full force of 400 employees.
Pawtucket, r. l., Feb. 81 P)--The
suspension policy adopted at the
Social Mill in Woonsocket will not
affect the principal plants Of the
Manville Jenckes company which
are in Pawtucket, President Freder-
lex L. Jenckes announced today.
The Pawtucket plant employs about
1000 operatives and some OF the
departments have been running ov-
crtime.
