Executive Committee Meeting.
The adjourned meeting OF the executive
committee for the labor union will be
held in Mystic Chain hall on Saturday
afternoon. The most difficult question
the operatives have to decide at present is
whether the weavers' organization should
be separate or joined with the other de-
partments.
The weavers found themselves under a
disadvantage during the strike in having
to explain their case to operatives who
knew nothing of picks, harnesses, reeds
and 'other technicalities connected with
their branch, hence their desire to be un-
der separate charter, but the reprepre-
sentatives from the other departments
urge that it is better for all to be under
one head even if they appoint special COM
mittees to discuss cases which may arise
from time to time.
