| Summary: | The report gives the dates of the strike; the number of employees involved; the individuals who negotiated the settlement; a narrative describing the conflict; and the approximate losses to both the employees and local merchants. The narrative mentions an attempt to discourage labor unions in the mill village before the strike was called: "During this time a religious meeting had been held at the village and among other things the preacher told his followers that it was sinful to belong to any union or to any organization except the church. This caused several to go to the office and request that no further union dues be deducted from their pay." |
