t or several days past a suppressed ex

the working men in this city aud im
mediate vicinity, ju>t what it was a
Reuistkk reporter was unable to find
out until yesterday.
The cause of the sudden starting into
active lives of the idle workmen wa»
the report that the mill owners were
seriously contemplating a still further
atcpjiage of the mills, until the 1st ol
March. The workmen commenced put
ting their heads together to «e« if it wa*
not practicable for them to adopt a liue
of action by which they could protect
in the interest of themselves aud their
wives and families.
The readers of the industrial news in
the Srxi»AV Hkuistkk are familiar
w»th ihe project talked of some m jutb>
ago 1 y the nailers to adopt a law com
pelling nil nailers to cease work ou the
tirst of every June and not resume work
again, until tho first of September, thi.»
piojeet was talked oft, but finally died
away, that is, it ceased to attract gener
al inttrest.
Now, however, it has again been
brought forward with much more vigor
than before, for in reality it had never
died in the minds of the workmen, but
bad bun quietly perfected by them; so
that wl eu the i**ue did come up before
thehdge, it Would be piaceu in jum
such a Jigtit that it would be unanim
ously adopted aud become a Uw and
fact.
A workmen said:
We are now determined to make this
law in our a>s'»ciation, not for any spite
wo/k or anythiug of that nature, but
purely and simply as a matter of pro
tection, or, better still,bread and butter.
X >w take the present stop of our mills,
What kind of a condition do you stop
I* >e the majority of the workingmenV
JiiMltr's are In? lean tell you. Very
"cant, or if they have pleuty of provis
ions tl.ey owe a big grocery and m at
Oill which will have to be paid out 01
iLe fi.-t money they make, thus, you
see, the worktugman's nose 19 contin
ually held to the grindstone and that
if »l;e reason they never get ahead.
Mill business is not like merohautile
bu-ine.-s for this reasou, in the former
we never make a full year, or thr?c
quarters oi tk year, whiie in the latter a
fail j«ar is always made, hence though |
-oiiie ot Ui make more uiouey in onj
ar than we do, and another thinsj trie
ntral public does not look at. A "mtu
wlio makes s*J) j>er week, now that man
will naturally set a better tal>!e auu
dress a little l«etkr than a man who
onl,) makes ? 10 per week. Now, for a u
illustration, supine we take the former
for wcrkingmeu in a mill and the lat
um clerk in a store The former will
uot have made as much money at tile
end of a year us the latter, for this rea
son, he making a larger salary will
uatural.'y live better and not working
ovir bail the year will be in debt at the
commencement of the uew year, while
the clerk with hi3 family, knowing he
bail just so much money "to go on, will
husband i', and consequently af, the
commencement of the new year have a
snail tarn laid up, or, at least, be square
with the world. 1'he public might ask,
hy is it that the workmen does not
save hi* money lik* the c lerk? Simple
this; he goes to Work the first of the
ytarand everything looks as If the mill
will run steadily three-quarters of the
year, I ut instead of that, in sometime.-,
Itss than three weeks notice, tne mills
close lor six weeks or two months, tuat
is how it is, and if any person with au
ui pre judiced miud will set down aud
study over the matter for a few iu »•
orients they will see clearly how it is
that the workmen are always kept
down.
Now we propose to have the stoppage
of the mills take place in the summer
season, from 1st of June until the 1st ol
"n pteiiiUr, a period of three months
then we will run steadily uearly the re
uiaindt r of the year. The prospects at
pr< sent look as if the nait trade will be
very l>risk ail this coming summer, but
you cau just bet, we are not going to
work during June, July and August
