WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29,1894
New England Strike
Nearly All Fall River Mills Agree j
to Close.
Twenty-Three Thousand Operatives
Thereby Made Idle.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 23.-The
publication of the agreement to shut
down the mills was a surprise to many
manufactures when they picked up
their papers this morning. Notices
of the shut down were mailed last
night, but lt was the intention to
keep the whole thing a secret to-day
The exec? ti ve committee is unwil?
ling to give out the text of the
notices sent, but they say that it was
agreed that when three fourths of the
spioners reported by the signers to
the agreement should conclude to
order the pursuit of a certain course
the others would staue! by the orders
issued. Therefore, to-nigirt it is con?
fidently expected that every mill in
town will close except the Conanicut,
the Barnaby gingham, which has
been shut down, and the Fall River
iron works mills and the Zeaconnet,
. which are not in the Manufacturer's
association. The Zeaconnet mill is
running on the reduced schedule and
may be compelled to shut down by
the help who may stay out.
The King Philip, American linen,
Metacomet, Pocaaset and ,other mills
that are wholly rnnniug or partially
idle are expected to close with the
rest. There will be 22,600 oper?
atives out of work, exclusive of
2,500 who are known as sick help.
Secretary O'Donnell of the Spin?
ner's union is well pleased at the
decision arrived at by thc manu?
facturers. It relieves him and the
union from a very trying position,
in which the funds were seriously
threatened. The weavers, of course,
are in high glee, as they have
obtained the curtailment for which
they Were seeking. The lengtth of
the shutdown has not been agreed
upon, but it will depend on the
attitude of the operatives and
the conditions of the market. Four
weeks is the longest time mentioned,
but there is no guarantee that it will
. last a longer period.
The committee of 'the Manufac?
turers' association has demonstrated
that there is a greater unanimity of
feeling than the members supposed
existed. For at noon to-day it was
confidently believed that every signer
would stick to the last. Even Agent
Sanford? of whom the manufacturers
are talking very harshly, has con?
cluded to close the Globe yarn mills,
and the. Sanford Spinning company
will also remain closed.
Among' business men and others
the big lockout is regarded with much
regret, nearly $150,000 weekly will
be taken out of circulation and there
is always a great risk is trading
among operatives when a shut-down
takes place Seme will pay their old
bills, but others will not if they can
avoid by removing to ol her places.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass , Aug. 23.
The fourth day of the great strike
opened with a new element in the j
battle-the State board of arbi- j
tratiou. Both sides remain as firm j
as ever, apparently, neither inclined
to yield one iota. The Board of
Trade arbitration committee has failed
to accomplished much and now the
only visible hope for a new settlement
lies in the meeting under Mayor
Brownell's call to-night. Of conree
this applies more directly to the
cloth mills, as there are hopeful
signs for an adjustment or a break in
the yarns mills battle.
Richard P. Barry of Lynn and
Richard E. Warner of Taunton, mem?
bers of the State board, arrived in
town this morning to investigate the
matter. The third member, Charles
A. Wolcott, is now on his vacatiou |
and was not informed of the visit.
Immediately on their arrival, the
abitrators visited the mayor's office,
but not finding him in separated, Mr. !
Barry dropping in on the strikers' j
committee at Spinners' hail, and Mr. j
Warner visiting the mayor at his busi
ness office.
Mr Barry 6aid : "We jost dropped j
in on New Bedford to do a little j
skirmishing. We will not probably j
take official action on the strike un- ?
less Mr. Wolcott joins us, but we ;
just want to see how the laud lies." ,
He was asked as to the province ?
of the board in such matters-just
how far they can go and what power
they have. j
"Well," he replied, we have the !
power to hold public hearings, sum- j
mon witnesses, hear testimony and !
render an official report, but we do
not like to do so often. We prefer j
to use the conciliatory plan, to act
as mediators between the parties to
a dispute and see if we cannot make
both sides look at things like seusi- j
ble men, rather than from directly ?
opposite sides. But this is not \
always successful and then we
usually have to resort to the hearing
system. We may have to do so here, ;
but we cannot tell yet.
Mr. Brownell said that he had been
advised by several citizeus to invite
the State board of arbitration to he
present at the meeting of the confer?
ence to-night. Ile said that he had
done so and urged the board to
attend. He said the meeting was j
not intended to be public, but to
compromise such delegates as each \
union chose to send and such manu?
facturers as NOM attend. Every
labor organization in the, city will be
represented by the secretary and one
delegate, but it cannot be learned how
the manufacturers look at the proposi?
tion, as they are non-committal on
the subject. The situation and atti?
tude of the Howland corporation also
will undoubtedly be discussed.
Andrew G. Pierce was asked if the
mills would make any concessions in
case the arbitration committee pro?
posed them, and replied that he
should not answer any questions of
that kind. "Let the thing take its
course," say he.
Not only are the weavers deter?
mined upon a withdrawal of the notice
of a cut down, but they have another
issue which they regard as of vastly
more importance, and that is the
Particulars law. Yesterday Presi?
dent J ames Savage, with Secrerary
Whitehead, of Pall River, was sent
to Boston to seek advice upou this
point. They sought the advice of
Chief Wade, of the State police and
Attorney General Knowlton. At the
office of the chief of police, they
received the opinion that the law
would be construed to be favorable to
the operatives.
SUN COOK, N. H., Aug. 23 -Four
hundred weavers in the China mills
here did not go to work to-day be?
cause of a reduction in wages equal
to the cut down in the Fall River
mills. The wages paid here are
governed by the scale paid in Fall
River, and the operatives were ac?
cordingly notified of the 10 per cent,
cat dowu on Tuesday. They object?
ed strenuously, but worked until late
yesterday afternoon, when they went
out. This morning they refused to
return. Notices of a reduction have
been posted in the Webster and Pem?
broke mills also and strikes may
follow. The weavers, who are nearly
all French, are not members of a
union, but will probably organize
now.

nated Thos. E. Watson for Congress.
