Weave room strike over proposed 10 percent wage rise
A group of 126 Brower and ToVerson cotton mill workers on the White River faced a spontaneous strike after demanding a 1 cent per cut pay advance and alleging foreman Charles Wells was domineering. The dispute centered on cut lengths and perceived roll size, with Miss Katherine Moff and Mina Ann Deversey leading talks for the girls. The Love brothers proposed a conference and proposed return to work pending adjustments after Christmas, while management argued the roll size changes caused misleading pay impressions and pledged closer supervision.

Civil Service Plan Aims to Move City Hospital Politics
A proposed measure to remove the city hospital and charity services from political control seeks a civil service board of four physicians to oversee the hospital and city dispensary. Mayor Bookwater backs creating a new department to lead charities, while opposition argues for stability of skilled staff and continuity despite new administrations. The amendment would place health prevention on a separate track, with the Health Board relinquishing direct hospital oversight if adopted.
