TEXTILE WORKERS. STRIKE
Will Be Inaugurated Unless Wages
Are Advanced.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. ia special
meeting of the textile council was held
here today. The following resolution
was adopted unanimously:
I'VE demand of the manufacturers
an increase of 10 per cent of wages on
present schedule for all operatives, the
same to go into effect on December IL,
and a reply is requested on or before
November "a In the event of a re-
fuSal we recommend all operatives not
to return to work December IL"
Secretary Whitehead said: This is
practically a recommendation to strike
December IL if our demands are re-
fused"
The textile council feels that its posi-
ton is justifable, so much so that it
is willing to submit the question to an
arbitration committee of five members,
two to be elected by the council, two by
the manufacturers, the four to select a
fifth members. The committee must re-
port by November "a. This suggestion
is sent to the manufacturers, together
with the demand that the proposition
was unanimously Endorsed by the cOUn-
Gil members.
