(By the Associated Press. J

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 4.--The final
preparations for the greatest industrial
strike that the city of Fall River has
ever experienced, were made tonight when
the operatives, with the exception of the
spinners, voted unanimously to go on
strike next Monday morning.
Late this afternoon, a conference with
no result was held between the executive
committee of the Manufacturers Associa-
tion and the Textile Council officers.
Afterward the various unions met The
principal one was of the weavers. The
resolution to strike was adopted by a
vote of 207 to AZ, The other figures were
as fellows: Loom fixers. 164 to So: card
ers, 295 to 81, and slashers. SO to o. In
all cases the vote was made unanimous,
and this apparently means strike on
Monday morning.
The reason for the strike which seems
impending is the decliration of the manu-
facturers to raise wages 5 per cent in
line with the action of Mr.. Borden of the
Iron Works Mills.
