GREAT STRIKE IMPENDING,
Representatives Of Textile Unions
Meet 10 Boston.
ALL OPERATIVES MAY BE CALLED OUT
One Hundred and Forty-scvcn Thou
sand would Quit--AI New EN-
gland Mills Would lie Tied Up.

q Boston, February 13.-At meeting to-
day in this city Of fifty-ive representa-
tivcs Of textile unions in New England 1t
was unanimously voted TO recommend that
all unions call out the operatives In every
cotton mill In New England.
The meeting was practically Tho ,ntcone
Of the recommendation that President Com
| pers made TO the Federation Of Labor last
Sunday III which he urged the different
unions to unite on some settled policy re-
| gardipg the mill situation IN New England
At that meeting q committee OF three vas
appointed to take charge of the nltter
and conference OF this committee rec
| commended that a general meeting be held
| to take definite action.
Today the representatives of the vario,s
national textile assemblies met in The
Wells memorial hall and for four hours
discussed the situation from every stand.
point.
The primary object of tho meeting vas
to devise some method of rendering assist
ance to the New Bedford strikers. II was
pointed out today that il Tie strikers in
New Bedford could hold out for four weeks
without receiving more than 20 cents per
operative per week in the wa CT outside
assistance other mill operatives could stand
similar strain. and that II I'll went out
1t would precipltate crisis which would
have to be met in n sh ort time by the
manufacturers, 1t was also shown that
the mule spinners were in excellent con-
dillon as regards funds; that the United
Textile Workers and tn, New England
Federation of Weavers were also IA good
shape, but that the icst w,re short of
funds.
Other questions were also discussed and
at length the matter was put to vote,
no one being registered against the motion
that the different unions should order a
general strike in every cotton mill in New
England until a satisfactory adjustment
of wages could be arranged.
1t now remains for the various National
unions to take action on the recommends
tions, but what this action will be is a |
matter of conjecture. If all should ac-
quiesce and vote to strike $4,000 opera
tives will undoubtedly be out of work and |
the manufacturers of cotton goods in New |
England will be on a standstill. IT, on the |
other hand only few unions vote to
strike. the refusals of the others would
still keep large portion of the mills IN
operation. Inasmuch. however. ms the
meeting was the outcome of President
Gompers suggestions and as he admon-
ished the members Of the Federation of
Labor 10 Join hands and assist the New
Bedford strikers 1t seems probable nearly
every union Will carry out the recommen-
dations and that one of the greatest strikes
ever seen in this country is impending.
