} IVALK-Ol T AT LAI'KENS MILL.
Trouble Said to Have Been (?iu>e<I by
Employment of Neerroes In Menial
Canaeities.
I
Laurens, Aug. 21.?About 400 looms
are idle at the Luurens Cotton mills
because of a walk-oul of thirty-seven
^ weavers?fourteen women and twen- (
rty-tnree men?one or ui ?uvm ,
"have returned to work. The strikers ,
were paid off by the mill, and in the
\ meantime efforts to fill the places vacated
are being made by the management.
According to a statement made by j
f representatives of the workers who
quit their jobs, the walk-out was the
direct result of the dismissal of two !
white men who refused to work in j
the mill with the negro help employ- !
ed. Objection was raised to the ne- j
gro help in the weave room only, the j
| negroes "being employed to clean orr j
the looms and lay up filling for the ;
use of the white weavers. This work
the weavers considered a white person's
job and complained to the management
of the existing conditions,
but no relief was given, as they
claim. In all about twenty negroes
t have been in the employ of the mill
L in different capacities, as scrubbers.
m loom cleaners, sweepers, water carf
Tiers, picker room laborers, scaven
ger drivers, boiler firemen, etc. .Most
of the negro help occupied the company's
cottages.
Following the alleged use of some
offensive language by one of the ne'
gro helpers several days ago, the
general manager and the superintendent
were called upon by a committee
of operatives and asked to remove the
It negroes, because they wefe creating
V trouble and their presence distasteful
H to the white help. This was refused,
according to the operatives' version.'
The negroes, however, were apprised j
? * "* - -*J A* ^ nil A f
01 me Situation aiiu giauuanj an v/i i
r them quit. A meeting of all the op-1
eratives was called by General Man-1
?
ager W. S. Montgomery, who, it is.
said asked them if they would assist
him in reinstating and protecting the
' negro help. Practically all preesnt i
V objected, so it is claimed. A second ,,
k attempt was made, and likewise fail-;
ft Meantime the negroes remained out
^ or off their work on the outside. The
? issue came to a climax when the
r management summoned two men to ^
the office suspected of leading in the ]
trouble and dismissed them. These j
I two men worked in the weave room, j
where the negroes were employed!, j.
| The two men in question denied any ;
connection witli the alleged intimida- j ,
tion of the negro help. As soon as :
the action of the management was : j
I learned the thirty-seven operatives in.
one of the weave rooms walked out.
Concerning the dissatisfaction that
arose of the employment of certain
i negro help in the mill and the consequent
walk out on the part of the
weavers, the mill management has
stated that the company found it difficult
to secure the best results in ]
the employment of white men to do .
certain menial labor, such as sweeping,
scrubbing and cleaning off the
looms, although they had held these ,
jobs open at all times to white men (

work. The plan of putting negro : *
f help on these particular jobs was j
l adopted several months ago, and for i
[ some time there has been an efforti
I on the part of certain operatives to j
BR xun the negroes off. A few days ago j *
mf the situation became more pronouncW
ed when annoymous letters and personal
threats were directed to the

1 Mr. Montgomery thereupon called a
i. meeting and and explained that he L
H had no desire to force negro help
B on them and that he was ready to emV
ploy white men then and there for
the several positions. He made plain
L. his proposition, stating that if any 1
V whites desired the places to apply,1
V and he would employ them. He ful -'(

B same by holding up their hands. Quite ['
B a number raised their hands, and I1
then th'- reverse proposition was;1

regjfded as a final adjustment. Ic
j^^Two days later, no white help offer- j'
r ing for the vacated places, a negro j1
was again placed on the work. He
did not remain long, being given to 1
understand that his Dresence was not *
I desired by the operatives. Then fol- j
lowed the dismissal of two men sus-1
pected as leaders in fomenting the
trouble. j ^
After the walk-out Mr.'Montgomery
made another talk to the remaining
operatives in these special departments
and thanked them for their 5
K*alty ai i assured them he was <
Peady and willing to dispense with 11
negroes altogether when the white ]
men felt they could take their jobs ]
and give the company satisfactory {
