AVOCA STRIKE ENDED.
The Silk Mill Will Soon Be Running
on Full Time.
Nearly two months ago tho employes
of tho silk mill stiuck for an advance
In wages, and during that time they
have seen tar loads of machinery re
moved fiom the mill, but even that
did not Induce them to return and
work on the old schedule. The stilke
was conducted In a systematic manner
and again demonstrates tho fact that
"In union thete is stiength." They
were od vised by moro expeilenced
workmen and during tho strike but
few leturned to woik, The piopiletors
at last said that they would bo gov
erned by the Sauquolt mill scale, and
a committee of citizens visited tho
Sctanton mill last week and were given
the schedule. I. J, O'Maliey, J, H. An
derson and W. H. Holltster, tepresent
Ing the stotkholdeis, waited upon Mr,
Ashley on Mondqy evening and that
he has fulfilled his promise as nearly as
ho can possibly do so is shown by tho
following llguics:
Bcianton Winders, $2 to J3.50; doub
ters, tl to $3.75; spinners, 2 to $2.50;
twisters, )2 to $J50; icelers, 2 to $3.50:
lacerp, $2 to $2.uu: bobbin carriers, $2 B0
to $3 00; Tursah winders 25 cents a day

$1.00 to $2 50; bobbin carriers, $1.00 to
$3 00; Tursah winders, $4.
On nccount of tho machinery that
has been shipped away, there will not
be work for about fifty of the former
employes, but In a few weeks they
wilt have a requisite number of ma
chines in the mill. The advance wilt
not affect nil tho strikers, but since
they have agreed to ndvanco them 25
cents per week) until the maximum Ir
leached, it is probable that they, too,
wilt respond to the call on Monday
morning as cheerful as will those who
have won the victory.

You All Wait for
C For 5 -in. Taffeta and Satin
Ribbons
A ribbon Hcasnn this In unlnir tr ho .
and you are buylnR now for less than , .
nau price, uccause or this Leader
stock. Quite a fortunate condition for
you.
Fifteen hundred yards of No. SO (5
Inch) Taffeta and Satin Ribbons In nl
most every color excepting black, goes
on salq this morning. Variety Is biff,
while price Is little. We expect the
ribbons to flutter today.
C for Women's fine fast black
Hosiery
One of tho finest stocks In "The
Leader" was Its Hosiery occupying1 a
large section of the main floor. Here
Is one of the best lots in the stock:
Women's full, lcgularly made and
stilctly fast black Stockings, perfectly
seamless and carefully finished. New
goods that had neer been shown In
"The Leader" but were marked to
sell at 10c pair. A big bargain at 6c.
C for "Leader" 15-cent
Handkerchiefs
Hnndkci chiefs "The Leader" sold at
15 cents before Christmas oannot be
bought for less than that today so
you 11 do well to lay In a supply from
these today at ery much under
half prlie. Some with lace edges.somo
embroidered edges and embroidered
hemstitched; also mourning handker
chiefs, with from one to three stripes.
Six. cents for choice Friday.
Lace Curtains Kc
Complete with pole mV
Hardly a dollar's worth of "The
Leader's" Upholstery Stock had ever
been on view; It was entirely new
when the store was closed.
Today you buy a complete pair
of pretty Lace Curtains, very nobby Cf
patterns and full length, with pole and if
trimmings, tor less man one-nait or
tho actual worth. There ought to be a
big rubh to the Third Floor today. Will
you be among the number?
