"The pre sf pt- management of the mill has used every effort to build up XJ physical condition of tho plant so t.S to benefit the stockholders even* tually, and to make the work easter and more profitable to the employees. In addition to this we have, through the cxependiture of several thousands of dollars, installed various device* with a view to making the mill more comfortable for the workmen.

After thp demand was made and an answer '.d?m?nded by eight o'clock promptly,, t?; c employee?? hs^e gone on a strike.

"So far ns thc management knows. lt Is very indefinito ns to when the mill will again'start, and while we would exceedingly .regret to have suf fering, visited upon our people, and certainly those who aro not- responsi ble for these troubles, at the same time we cannot recognise any socall ed union of irresponsible people and ?Buiivt uv?! ?Vitii ?VIUD O? tatGSe TV?tG are constituted either hy themselves or employees as leaders.
