Cloth Mills Remain Idle

New Bedford, Mass.. Jan. 18.- Not one of the cloth milis of the city made any attempt to run. The experiences heretofore and the rlot at the Bristol mili, showed popular feeling to be so intense that it would be unwise to make any effort. The thousands of operatives are quiet and everything seems to have settled down to a waiting battle. Biddeford, Me., Jan. 18.- The strike situation here is unchanged. The Pepperell, Laconia and York milis remain I shut down and there is every indication of a long struggle. A committee of York operatives will cali on Agent Page and endeavor to secure an adustment of their grievances on account of the reduction.
