BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
Brockton Lasters May Go Out In
Order to Help the Fasteners. $

Brockton, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE execu-
tive committee OF the Lasters' union
met last night and decided TO call
mass meeting for Friday evening, at
which they will decide whether or not
TO strike in sympathy with the cole
fasteners. Many OF the sole fasteners
look upon this action as their only
hope for success. = 1t Is generally be-
Heved that the lasters will vote TO come
out. although President Mcdonald and
other members OF that organization say
that the more conservative Of The lasters
are decidedly averse To mixing further
in the trouble between the manufac-
turers and sole fasteners. Several mem
bers of the union state that the lasters
now have a fair understanding with the
manufacturers and would not obey an
order TO strike.
About 100 Mckay lasters were present
at the meeting last night and unionism
and prices were discussed. IL is thought
tnat The latter subject was brought up
for the reason that I'm case the lasters
should vote to strike in sympathy with
the sole fasteners. they might ask for
an advance Tor themselves before they
so back.
