The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-04-07

The situation at the Riverside mills is
not SO salts factory from the strikers
standpoint, and IL is more than likely
that a general strike may be ordered,
taking out all the departments. a meet
ing of the district council occurs
this afternoon and this question will be
discussed and will probably be acted upon
The reasons are that the mill is inducing
nom union men To 90 in and some 30
weavers went in this morning,
operating over go looms. These men
are all being put in on the
two-loom system. Then the mill has
effected arrangements with Richard
the warps for the company. Mr.. Water
house has taken mill at Waterford
and will begin work at once. This
work will be done on the
single loom system, and the strikers argue
that IL the mill can afford to
have the Warps woven on
that basis and pay for the
carriage back and forth they must have
orders to fill and are anxious to get the
work out. Opinion Is divided as TO
whether this action of the mill should be
allowed or whether general strike be d
clared. The police are unusually careful
lately to keep the knots OF strikers in the
vicinity of the mill moving on,
and il is difficult for the COM
mittee to button-hole new woavers
President Hughes OF the weavers was at
Central Falls last night and addressed the
union there. They endorsed the strike and
pledged themselves to contribute dolla
week each toward its support
and the employees in the
mills here have pledged themselves
for from so cents TO a dollar week. SO
the strike will be well supported. On
Monday evening MIR. Hughes
will address public meeting
on Mineral Spring avenue in Pawtucket
and will visit other factory
held tomorrow afternoon on the
Merino flats and doubtless there
will be something OF importance an
nounced. Secretary McGuy said this
morning that he did not regard the action
OF the mills as having important bearing
on the strike except that IL showed that
there must be profit somewhere II they
could afford to have it done elsewhere
on the single loom system. We
thought that the question OF general
strike might be brought up at the meet
ing OF the council.
