Fall River, Mass, Nov. .S.-Secreta:!

ers' association has received COM
muncalion from the Textile council,
asking for another conference this af-
ternoon The letter states that " hie
the members favor the idea of Il slidins
Scale, the one presented Monday does
not meet with their approval. The Labor
leaders wish to have the wage question
settled first, after which they will be
ready to take up Il sliding scale agree
ment.
The letter further says that the time
between now and the new year will not
be ample enough to allow full considera-
tion of such an important matter, which
in the end must go to the large body OF
operatives for final approval. The coun-
Gil has no power to accept a scale now;
they are asked to obtain higher scale
of wages first. When the sliding scale
Is considered by the council they must
place it before the labor organizations
with their recommendations for action.
The secretary Of the Manufacturers
association would not say whether the
conference would be held this afternoon
or tomorrow. The special committee
would decide that. There was no doubt
that the conference would be granted,
however.
The feeling on the street is that the
whole question will be settled amiCably.
At the new quotation of cents for regu-
lar 64x64's, 100000 pieces Of goods have
already been disposed of by the selling
committee of the manufacturers. The
confidence of buyers and sellers in the
ability of the mills to run is based upon
the belief that the help will be retained
at work by a satisfactory settlement OF
the wage difficulty.
