E. S! LOCAL LABORERS Leave Work on Silk Mill Site—Claim Outside Laborers Are Favored. To Enlarge and ‘Improve Mill. Leopold Oliner, the new owner of the leatherboard mill at Hon River, was in” Willimantic Thursday. -The new proprietor expects to enlarge and con- siderably improve the mill. He was in New York Wednesday and contracted for two draft horses to be delivered at Hop River” Saturday. A short time since Alderman C. C. Case of this city, who owned the propery recently ac- quired by Mr. Oliner, lost a fine pair of horses used for teaming purposes by being run into by the noon express, eastbound, and since that time the trucking for the mill has been done by hired teams. It was feared for a time Thursday morning that there would be -some- thing doing at the site of the excava- tions for the new velvet mill on the Brooklyn ' side, when a number of 4 workmen in the employ of the B. F. b v Smith Construction company of Paw- & » tucket, R. I, threw down their shovels . X and refused to work any longer. The company has had -a large force of laborers at work upon the excava- tions for some time. Dissatisfaction was rife among the local laborers be- cause the company was hiring outside help as well, and was inclined to show a preference to the outside help, even going so far as to let some of the local men go. \ The local laborers say that the mon- 7 ey for the mill was raised by Willi- @ i mantic people and that local laborers should be given a preference if there is any to be shown. When the men found out how things were going, all the local men refused to work, de- manding their pay. This was mnot forthcoming, and Foreman Berard be- came afraid of some sort of violence and sent for Capt. E. H. Richmond, who with Patrolman Allen MacArthur went to the place and ascertained how matters stood. There were no signs of violence, the local men telling the captain what the situation was. Cap- tain Richmond told the foreman that if he did not want the men atound he must pay them and he agreed to do so, which he did Thursday after- noon shortly after one o’clock. The local laborers then left the job. Thirty-one Quit; Ninety Left. Thirty-one men in all quit work. The foreman tells an altogether differ- ent story, claiming that the local men OBITUARY.
