New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 10.-Apparent-
ly a strike in the cloth mills next Monday
morning can only be averted by withdraw
ing the notices of a 10 per cent. reduction
| posted in the mills Dec. 81.
The spinners tonight took final action
on the question of striking The result
was in favor of resistance to the reduction,
the vote being 1898 to 4.
The attempts at arbitration have thus far
resulted in the decision of the state board
of arbitration to visit New Bedford. They
will come tomorrow and a conference has
been called. Both sides will be represented,
but both the mill men and the operatives,
it would seem, from present conditions, will
be unwilling to surrender their positions.
Tomorrow night the weavers will meet
| to take final action on the matter. Their
representatives will then ratify their for
NAL determination to strike.
Lewiston, Me-, Jan. 10.-At large and
