NOT ACCEPTED At ALL POINTS,
Proposal for a Cotton Mill Strike in New
England Involving All the Mills.

Boston, Feb. 15.-From advices re-
ceived yesterday it seems to be the
general opinion in mill circles that the
recommendation of the textile unions
that a general strike be undertaken by
the operatives in all New England cot
ton mills where a reduction Of wages
has occurred will not be accepted IN all
unions. 1t was intended at first that
directed To aiding the 5000 operatives
of New Bedford. and that strikes in the
other centers should be deferred until
the New Bedford trouble was sttled:
but as the weeks have passed the men,
bers Of the unions in places where there
are no strikes claim to have found that
the rate of wages under the reduction
Is so small that the operatives have all
they could do to make ends meet and
are not able to help their New Bedford
brethren.
These facts being borne out by re-
ports that the assistance received at
New Bedford from the cotton mill en-
ployes elsewhere was disappointing, il
is believed. had much to do with the
recommendation that general strike
be undertaken. The local unions will
take action on the matter during the
next week or two. and until vote is
taken 1t will be impossible TO tell t.
what extent the action of Sunday
Boston meeting will be Endorsed.

that II was impossible for Great Britain

Curzon added that l; was necessary.
therefore. that communications with the
frontier be KEEP; open. and while no
sane man would propose to go beyond
the mountain barrier, yet the two
passes traversing the range must be
