Rock HUI, Aug. 7.-Employees of the Aragon Cotton Mill, of this city, striking for higher wages, walked out last night at ll o'clock, aud to day the mill ls closed, the day force having joined the strike. The tex tile workers, so far as can be learned, are demanding a 26 per cent in crease in wages, which has beou re fused by the mill officials, who feel that the earnings of the mill do not warrant such a wholesale raise In wages, according to a statement made to-day by Alexander Long, presiden' Mr. Long states that there have been no disturbances at the mill and that no clashes are ex pected. The employees, he added, have the right to ask for higher wages, but their present demands cannot be met, and consequently the mill has been closed. Mr. Long declares that no effort will be made to bring in 'outside workers in an effort to break the strike. As long as the employees wish to remain idle the mill will re* main shut down, he statos, and when they wish to return to work they may do so. Approximately 500 em ployees, the entire working force of the mill, ar.e affected by tho strike. It .vus rumored to-day that tho employees of the Manchester Mill aro also planning a strike, but this rumor could not bo confirmed. lt Is re ported that the employees of this, mill have asked for an increase in wages, but as yet no definite action has been taken. The situation at the Carhart Mill, where the employees have also rc (lnested an Increase of 2 5 per cent in wages, is practically unchanged. A conference between officials of the mill and representatives of the em ployees was held yesterday after noon, but no definite agreement was reached. The officials of the Car hart Mill havo signified their willing ness to give tho employees a raise of 5 per cent in wages, but this offer has not been accepted, as the workers are holding out for a greater in crease. So far as can be learned, no Ul feeling has been displayed by the employees at any of the mills where hlgl?er wages are being demanded, and mill officials apparently expect no trouble along this Uno. They have apparently adopted tho attitude expressed by Mr. Long when he stated that if the workers rather re main idlo than earn the wages paid them by the mill they may do so, as it is simply up to the employees to decide whether or not they will work. Mr. Long ntimated that tho ?ragon Mill will remain closed until the employees are ready to resumo work. While there are nine mills in the city, dissatlfactlon among the em ployees is confined so far to three of them. A textile union was formed among the mill workers of this city only a few weeks ago, and this is the fii'-t treu hie o* the kind ex perienced by the mills. UFT OFF CORNS!
