Boston, Feb. 14.-At q meeting ~
ter1ay In this city Of dfty-nve repee-
sentatives Of textile unions in New
England, 1t was unanimously voted %
recommend that all unions call out tAe
operatives In every cotton mill In New
England.
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 In the mill sit
uation In New England. At that meet
ing a committee Of four was appointed
to take charge Of the matter and after
conference this committee recon-
mended definite action. To-day the
Representatives 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.
1t was pointed out that II the strikers
at New Bedford could hold out for four
weeks without receiving more than 70
cents per operative per week In tn
way OF outside assistance, other mn
operatives could stand similar strah.
and that II all went out 1t would pc
cipitate crisis that would have n be
met within a short time by the mtnu-
fActurers. 1t was nlsO shown tbs the
mule spinners were in excellent CON
dition as regards funds; United Textile
Workers and the New EnSlant Fed
GRAFTON OF Weavers were also n good
shape, but that the rest were short OF
funds. The questions were also dis
cussed and at length the matter was
put to vote, no one being registered
against the motion that tbe different
unions should order a geneal strike In
every cotton mill In New England until
satisfactory adjustment of wages could
be arranged.
1t now remains for various national
unions to take action on the resolu-
tfon, but what this action will be 10
matter of conjecture. II all should
acQuiesce and vote to strike, 147, 600
operatives would undoubtedly cease
work and the manufacture Of cotton
goods throughout New England would
be at standstill. II, on the other
hand. only few unions should vote to
strike. the refusal OF the others would
still keep large portion Of the mills In
operation. 4rfT
Inasmuch. however, as the meeting
was the outcome Of President Com
pers' suggestion. and as he admonished
the members of the Federation Of La
bor to join hands and assist the New
Bedford strikers, II seems probable
that nearly every union will carry out
the recommendations and that one Of
the greatest strikes ever seen In this
country Is impending. d
