Fifty-Five Labor Unlona In New
Kngland Will Join
Hands.
MEETING HELD IN BOSTON,
Frenident Gompen of tho Fedora'
tion of Labor 'be
Director.
All Mill Will he C Indeed.
At a meeting lu IloMton of flirty-five
reprcHont ative ol textile union In New
Kugland It wae unaiilniouHly voted to
recommend that all union cull out the
operutive iu every cotton mill iu New
Ktigliiinl.
The meeting wu pructically thu out
come ol the recommendation which 1'rexl
dent (Jo in per made to the federation of
labor lent Huuday, in which ho urged
the different union to unite on xomo ect
tied policy regarding the mill eltuatioa
In New Kiiglaud. At that meeting a
committee of three wa appointed to
take charge of thu matter, and aftor a
conference thi commit tee recommended
that a general meeting be held to take
definite action. The repreMentutlve of
the varioii national textile aHMoclatlon
aHetiibled in tho Well Memorial hall
and for four hour dicuHcd the itua
tiou from every Mtuiidpoint. Thu pri
mary object of the meeting wa to de
vie Nome method of rendering uHltauce
lo the New I led lord trikorM, It wa
pointed out that If the ntrikem at New
Jiedford could hold out for four week
without receiving more than '20 cent
per operative er week lu tho way of
outldu UHMiMtuiice other mill operative
would etand a elmllur etrain, and if nil
went out it would precipituto a cril
that would have to bo met within a
Mhort time by the munufucturerM. It wa
olo mIiowii that the mule epliiuer were
lu cxcnllent condition u regard fund:
that the united textile worker and thu
New Kiiglaud federation ol weaver were
alo iu good ehupe, but the rent were
ehort of fund. Other quoti(MiM were
aUo diecueeed and at length the mutter
wa put to a vote, no one being regis
tered ugaiiiNt the motion that the differ
ent union eliould order a general strike
In every cotton mill in New Kngland
until Natifuclory udjuetmentof wage
would be urrungnd.
It nowremaiiiMfortlievurlouii national
union to take uction on the recommen
dation, but what thi action will be i a
matter of conjecture. If all eliould an
ouicxce and vote to etrike, 147.000
operutive would undoubtedly ceueu
work uud manufacturer of cotton
throughout New Knglaud would be at 11
MtunilKtill. If, on the other baud, only
a few union eliould vote to trik, the
reiiiMiil of the oilier would Htill kerip a
I urge portion of the mill in operation.
IuiimiiiucIi, however, a tho meeting
w a the outcome ol rrcelilent Uompur
MUggetiou, and a be admouiehed the
member of the federation of labor to
Join hand and 1111 the New Itedlord
Htriker, it iiii probable that nearly
every union will carry out the recom
mendation and that one ot the greatest
