ell OF the Textile Union sanctioned the
strike OF the weavers and dye house help
in the Atlantic Mills, at meeting, last
evening, in Textile Hall, in Library Build
ing, Olneyville square.
The weavers and dye house help will as
semble in the same nall tonight and de-
eide when they Will gait work and in all
probability il VIII be tomorrow forenoon.
There are about two thousand five hun
dred operatives in all departments OF the
Atlantic Mills and ii Is a conservative est!-
mate to say that at least 2500 more are de-
pendent on them for support, which will
make 5000 persons affected by the shutting
down of the Atlantic Mills. Less than
200 in all departments, not third OF the
whole number of operatives, are members
of the union and entitled to support from
their funds.
Plans to provide for the nou-union
workers are already being made and sub
scription papers are TO be started at once.
1t is expected that the operatives in the
other mills will be urged to remain in
until the Atlantic trou bic is over, as IL all
of the Olneyville operatives were out at
one time 1t would not be possible to OBJ
tain sufficient support from outside to
maintain the strike for very long
period. A very determined spirit
Is manifest at this stage in the
difficulty, but how long the spirit OF in
dependence will assert itself IL any num-
ber of grocers does as one on Plaintield
street remarked he should do this morn
ing remains to be seen. 81 shall strike
soon, it may not be today, but i think i
shall strike. IL depends on the action OF
the Atlantic Mills operatives. IL they
strike and ask me for further credit shall
strike their names from my ledger"
These were the remarks of the grocer re-
ferred too.
The management OF the Atlantic Mills
posted notices in the weave room of the
IaNA I.wv AfN tof tnrx
that the condition OF trade the past year
was such that they could not advance the
pay at this time, and that
the orders on hand to be filled were
taken on basis of the present
wages. The notice concludes by saying
that il the operatives are dissatisfied with
their condition they are ready TO shut
down at once. The weavers pretend TO
regard these notices as bluff.
