Is. i ne peaceful, but determin ed,

of invested capital and 26,000 mill ?
laborers, which began in this city .
eiehl weeks ago, is apparently no ?
nearer a settlement than at il^ g

lennun firm, the mill owners *
claiming that it is impossible to

1-2 uer cent reduction is mndn in *

wages, A'liilo tno operatives are
just ns determined against work- t
ing under such conditions. (
With winter not fur distant the '

husband their resources for the
drain which must then ho more
severe than during the summer ^

seeking other fields for their la 1

have left in largo numbers,
very few remaining in the city,
Within the last few days there
lias been a persistent rumor of a

! on Friday the weavers decided to
hold a mass Meeting on that day
which apparently shows the report
