Toni Kay Closes Down Woolen .Mills for Spinners' Strike. The Oregon Dally Journal says of the woolen mill strike at Salem: Senator Tom Kay's woolen mills In this city, employing 120 hands, are shut down completely tonight because of the strike of nine spinners. The strike, which is of an Independent na ture, .there being no union here, is be cause of the reduction In wages made the first of the year, ranging from 5 per cent to 12 V4 per cent. The strike was a complete surprise. though two of. the men had already served notice May 15. The four spinners working through last night, met the force of five that were to have begun at 8 o'clock this morning and together they marched into Kay's of fice and demanded a return to the old scale under which six of the nine re ceived 12 a day instead of $1.75 as at present, and the other three made $50 per month instead of $40 as they do now. Kay has sent his foreman to Ore gon City to secure spinners, but Is un able to get assistance from that city. Salem "Cleaned Up."

The schools and colleges were dis missed and the young folks did excel lent service. The city was divided Into four dls trlctB and. the work was done syste matically. Next year It Is planned to organize the forces earlier and make the move rnent general.
