One Of the Greatest Strikes in This Country
Impending.
IF All the National Unions Ac-
quiesce l47,OOO Operatives Will
Cease Work and Manufacture OF
Cotton Goods in New England
be at a Standstill-New Bedford
Operatives Not Pleased.

BOSTON, Feb. 13.-At a meeting to-
day in this city of fifty five representa-
tives of textile unions in New England
it was unanimously voted to recon-
mend that all unions call out the oper-
atives in every cotton mill in New Eng
land.
The meeting was practically the out
come Of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the FEEDER
alton of Labor last Sunday, in which
he urged the different unions to unite
on some settled policy on the mill sit
uation. At that meeting a committee
of four was appointed to take charge
of the matter, and after a conference
this committee recommended that a
general conference be held to take
definite action To-day the representa-
tives of the various national textile
associations assembled and for four
hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. The primary object
of the meeting was to devise some
methods of rendering assistance to the
New Bedford strikers
The matter was discussed and at
length was put to a vote. no one being
registered against the motion that the
different onions should order a general
strike in every cotton mill in New Eng
land until a satisfactory adjustment of
wages could be arranged
1t now remains for various national
unions to take action on the resolution
but what this action will be is a matter
of conjecture. If all should acquiesce
and vote TO strike, 147 900 operatives
would undoubtedly cease work. and the
manufacture of cotton goods through
out New England would be at stand
still If, on the other hand. only few
unions should vote to strike, the refusal
Of the others would still keep a large
portion of the mills in operation.
Inasmuch as the meeting was the
outcome of President Gompers' sugges-
ton, and as he admonished the men,
bers of the Federation of Labor to join
hands and assist the New Bedford
strikers, it seems probable that nearly
every union will carry out the recon-
mendation, and that one of the great
est strikes ever seen in this country
is impending.

A CHANGE OF POLICY.
New Bedford Strikers Will Not Re-
ceive It With Joy.

NEW BEDFORD (Mass), Feb. 13-
From the point of view of the New
Bedford strikers, the action taken by
the conference of textile unions in Bos
ton to-day is scarcely likely to be re-
ceived with joy, inasmuch as 1t is
against the policy adopted a the meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
National Spinners' Union, to wit: That
New Bedford should be made the bat
tie ground and until the conclusion of
the strike here the other textile centers
should remain at work. thereby acquir-
ing means TO assist the New Bedford
operatives in their struggle Then. at
the conclusion of New Bedford's fight
the plan was that whether New Bedford
won or lost the strike against the gem
eral reduction should be extended to
one district at time until the whole
of New England should be covered. In
view of this plan, which, at the time
of its adoption, seemed to meet with
general acquiescence the lction of the
conference. it would seem, is a direct
change Of tactics. The delegates to the
conference will report the new plan to
their several unions for their consider
alton.
