    3. Correction - In the paragraph of today's note on Spindle City that begins with "Worker production was scant in Lowell mills, as owners co-operated to prevent labour unions becoming sufficiently organized to work effectively on behalf of their members...." It should have read that WORKER PROTECTION was scant in Lowell mills... In the sentence about woolen mills, it should read they produced CARPETS and UPHOLSTERY for train interiors - an interesting tidbit.. Author Brid HESLIN (Bridget?) has been a regular contributor to "Irish Roots" magazine published in Cork, i.e. articles such as "The Famine in South Leitrim," etc., etc., and MAY have written some books, which you can look for on the Internet under the name Brid Heslin. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
