STRIKERS MAY RIOT.
Locked-Out Men in Rhode Island
Becoming Desperate.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March "a
The operatives of the Atlantic mills, of
Olneyville, held "a mass meeting this
afternoon and discussed the lockout.
All the speeches were bitter against the
mill owners, and the meeting lasted
several hours, but it was decided to
delay aggressive action, as 1t is eX-
pected that a general strike will be
ordered by the District Council of
Textile workers within few days. The
lockout operators are in a state bor-
dering on riot, and it is feared that the
leaders cannot keep them under control
until arrangements are perfected for
calling a general strike of the 5000 tex
tile workers in the district. Threats
against the mill property are being
freely made, and the owners are becom-
ing uneasy. A secret meeting of the
district council was held last night,
but the doings became public today.
The committee decided that the manu-
facturers had broken their agreement
with the operatives, and the time had
come when they should return to the
old schedule of wages, the reduction OF
which the operatives accepted under
protest in 1893. The council also agreed
to call a general strike, as soon as they
can decide upon the nature of the de-
mand to be made, a portion of the
council fayoring a return to the old
schedule and the remainder a compro-
mise proposition.
