Will Resume Work Monday

Raleigh, Dec. 27—After a silence of more than two months, the whistles of Pilot Mills will blow again Monday morning and, according to announcement of the management of the mill, operations will be resumed with as many of the 200 employes of the mill who went out on a strike for recognition of their union eight weeks ago, as will return to work. Seventy men, Mr. A.Y., Kelly, manager of the mills, claims will return to work. No announcement of change of policy however has come from the operatives who have repeatedly restated their determination to return to work at the mill only upon recognition of their union, which is refused.
