The Weavers Report an Arrangement to BrinE
About n settlement.
NEW BEDFORD. Mass, March 1o.-The cotton
weavers to-day upset the plans OF the State
Board of Arbitration for q settlement of the big
mill strike and to the discontinue OF the other
classes Of operatives effectively barred progress
toward a conference with the manufacturers.
BY a vote Of 344 to "a the Weavers' Association
rejected the proposition Of its President for .
compromise grading system and insisted upon q
total abolition of filming in the mills. Tho mill
managers had already agreed to accept Presi-
dent Cunn2nes suggestions with notifications
and had prepared a proposal to be submitted to
the weavers.
Several Of the manufacturers have shown .
willingness to grant q trial of the abolition of
fines, but tho majority insist that some such
system must be in force. II the weavcrs' organ
ization sees fit to retract and indorse the propo-
sition of its President it Is apparent that there
can be a speedy settlement of this phase Of the
trouble.
The members of the arbitration board eK-
pressed their chagrin at tho weavers' note at
the conference with the labor leaders this after
noon. Representatives of tho spinners. loom
fixers. slashers. and carders were present. At
the conclusion the following statement was
given to the press:
Anxious as the State board may be to settle
the differences between the manufacturers and
operatives, they see no hope for q settlement.
and after a talk with the labor men advised that
matters take their course"
