Colorado Miners Demand for Higher
Wages Resulted In Il lockout.
English Engineers strike.

Fail River, Mass, December 30.-The
general meeting Of the Carders association
last night was the largest in the history OF
the association about 700 Of the thousand
members being present. Secretary Tansy
reported resolution from the conference
committee and in doing so argued nearly
three-quarters of an houi. In favor OF It's
adoption. He was followed by many Of the
younger members, including number OF
girls and women, who favored n strike.
The vote showed very even division of
sentiment--96i voting for the adoption ana
2S3 against 1t.
After the meeting Secretary Tansy said
The strike sentiment was much stronger
than he had anticipated, Many cool and
clear arguments were offered By girls, who
spoke intelligently of direct reductions
during the past year. This Is the nrst of
the general meetings, others following to-
night and Friday night. The carders were
supposed TO be strongly against a strike.
therefore the closeness OF the ballot last
night is a great surprise. 1t indicates more
surprises Mt other meetings.
