1900: WORKERS STRIKE AT THE MORRIS MILL

TRANSCRIBED FROM MY TYPEWRITTEN FILES:

GROVEVILLE - MORRIS BROS. MILLS - STRIKE
SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1900
GAZETTE

"Some 20 weavers employed at the Morris Brothers duck and carpet mills at Groveville near here, are on a strike for an advance of 10 per cent on their wages. The firm offered them 5 per cent, but they would not accept it. Some have left to seek employment elsewhere and their places are being filled by other workers."
