They were factory girls, six In num ber and very positive. Tho six .had Just left Superintendent Davis' olllce at the Sauquolt silk mill and were very Indignant. "No, wo will never hum Mo ourselves to her," they told a Trl. buno reortcr, nnd their emphatic manner nnd tho rising inflection of their voices lent a color of truth to the assertion. "Are you on strike," queried the re porter. "Not exactly, we have noth ing against our floor foreman, Fred Gable, or the superintendent but that forewoman," each one began talking Just hcie and one could gather that a mutual dislike for the forelady existed in their minds. The young women did not abuse Miss Bridget Nealon, the forewoman, but simply said they could not stand her any longer. They quit, though not all at once. Two of the six having left "Wednesday and the first one Friday of last week. They said Miss Nealon made it un comfortable for them in many petty ways. They were not to talk, and where a mistake made by another girl would be overlooked, either of tho six were sure to be' reported. They had always had permission to talk whenever their "ends" were up and it was very little they did talk for, said MIbs Alice, who seemed to be spokes woman, "The nolBO is so great, you had to almost scream, so we didn't talk much." They called upon Superintendent Davis Tuesday and were requested to come again yesterday afternoon. They went, and the ultimatum given them was "See Miss Nealon and arrange with her." That was n virtual stand oft and they will stay out before they will do tho "humble" act to that fore woman. The girls arc all old hands, having worked In the mill for over sev en years. They were engaged In the "organ" department on tho second floor under Miss Nealon for some time. Mr. Davis asked why they had not made their grievances known before and they told him that they had been pa. tlent in order to see if a change would not come. Their patience "ebbed away and they would stand it no longer. MINE WORKER INJURED.

Today the police will try to got to the bottom of what ts alleged to have been a wanton felonious assault, that occurred last night on North Sumner avenue. William Carpenter and William Gil bert, two married men living In that neighborhood, met on their way homo about 9.30 o'clock last night and to finish their conversation, tool: seats on n retaining wall in front of tho prop erty of William Decker, at 328 North Sumner avenue. II. H. Bamford.whoso house Is No. 314 on that avenue, came out, It nppears, and ordered them to move on. They declined to obey his command and some loud words en sued. This attracted Bamford's next door neighbor, Joseph Kunltnewskl, and when he arrived on the sceno and learned the cause of the dispute, ho brushed Bamford aside and, grabbing hold of Carpenter, pulled him down from the, wall and attempted to push him along ahead of him up the street. Carpenter turned upon his assailant and dealt him a stinging blow. At this Kunltnewskl whipped out a revolver and levelled It at Carpenter's breast. "Hold on, Joe; you are not going to shoot me!" Carpenter cried, backing away. "Yes, that's what I am going to do," deliberately answered Kunltnewskl, and scarcely were the words out of his mouth when he pulled the trigger. The bullet missed Carpenter, but ac cording to the latter's statement it was not Kunltnewskl's fault; he had tho revolver pointed directly at Carpen ter's breast. The report of the revolver brought hundreds to the scene, among them Patrolman Tom Jones.who happened to be at the corner of North Sumner ave nue and Swetland street. In the excitement, Patrolman Jones could not get a thorough understand ing of the case, but taking the word of Mr. Bamford, who Is a prominent business man, that Carpenter and Gil bert were the offenders, he arrested these two and took them to the sta tion, Messrs. Bamford and Kunltnewskl promising to follow. They did not keep their promise, however, and as no charge was preferred against Carpen ter and Gilbert they were allowed to go, after a reasonable wait for tho ap pearance of Bamford and Kunltnewskl. dcrmnn John's oftlco explained tho trouble.
