or who assault a railway mail clerk
while on duty, authority for postoflioo In

whenever necessary, an appropriation for
constructing inspectors' lookouts in p st-
olliccs wherever tlio postmaster general

XKW llKPFOIiD. Mass., Dee. V
Tho mill strike is still on, and efforts
made by the state board of arbitration
brought about no satisfactory r stilt, for
Treasurer Knowlcs refused to have a
conference arranged.
The labor leaders, when they heard the
result of the state hoard's cull on Mr.
Knowlcs, were agreed that It would only
make the fight of the operatives more de
termined than over.
It was stated upon the authority of the
strikers that yesterday ." per cent of the
weavers employed in the Acushuot and
Hathaway mills remained from their
work.
In nil probability this number will bo
added to before the week is out, for u
labor loader wuh told by hulf a dozen
weavers that they would leave the mills
just ns soon us they got the cloth they
are now weaving off the looms. In some
cases weavers have some 7 to $! worth
of cloth on the looms, and they will fin
ish their cuts, so as to bo able to know
just what they are going to got.
Hvery thing is very quiet and orderly
about the mill gates, ami there is no hoot
ing or hissing or other insults to the
weavers who choose to go to work.
