Special meetings of the unions will be called
for Saturday afternoon evening, and Presi-
dent Tansy of the textile council says the lat

At the present moment it is the purpose OF
the manufacturers to treat the demand for an
increase lightly possible. If this attitude
is maintained, the labor leaders will openly ad-
wise a general strike. Superintendents and over
seers say a strike will not be of long duration,
and that the extsng scale is the highest known
in twenty years except for brief period In
1S92-93. Manufacturers say they cannot afford
to pay any more. and will not do so, Whatever
