Der OF men wearing cOnstables badges
patrolled the lines. The cOnstubles up
peared to be strangers, so committee
OF the strikers made inquiries as to the
powers of constables. Mayor Bryant
gave the committee a hearing, and
stated that Manager Norton of the
quarry syndicate and Luther s. Andcr-
son OF the Granite Railway company
waited upon him and asked that Il few
of their employees be app lnted con
stables to act as watchmen on their
ipnperty. He readily granted their re-
quest, thinking the men were not only
residents, but citizens. o'"
Mayor Bryant then saw Manager
Morgan In regard to the matter, and
the outcome was that the question as
to the definition Of "resident' was
referred to the city solicitor
In the meantime, however, the new
men kept at work. and the Constables
patrolled the premises. All these men
are cared for in two buildings about
200 yards from the quarries During

Go Out on Monday.

Men very Determined In Their Atti'

Quickly Rejected-unless the EN-
pIoyers Recede From Their Position

Employing Non-Union Help.
Lowell. Mass, March 27.-The 66
delegates to the meeting of the Tex
file Council last evening voted TO 20
out on strike next Monday morning ull-
less the mill authorities in the I.,cnntime
concede to the operatives demand for
10 percent raise IN wages.
The delegates present represented
nine unions and the determination to
stand by the demand for the ID per
cent increase was unflinching.
The details of the conference be-
tween President Rafferty, and Secretary
Ashton of the Textile Council. Joseph
Goprey Of the Trades and Labor Coun
'cifaHd Agents Nourse and Southwick
Of the Lawrence and Massachusetts,
corporations. respectively at Mayor
Dimon's house were given. but it did
not effect the feeling Of the meeting.
The personal appeal of Mayor Dlmon
was duly introduced, but it did not
serve to change the sentiment Of the
delegates.
The petition signed by about 100
prominent business men, bcseeching
the Textile Council and members of the
subordinate unions to delay action rln
til the good office Of a committee is
tried. was the only expression offered
that in any way induced the delegates
to reconsider their determination to
strike.
The consideration Of the committee
prolonged the meeting for an hour, and
when the motion to go out on strike
March 81 was made delegates friendly
to the petition offered an amendment
that action be delayed until April Z.
The amendment was defeated and the
original motion to go out on Monday
morning was unanimously voted.
President Rafferty, ANNOUNCED that
he and other officers had been inter.
viewed by the state board Of lrbitrL-
ton, but his relation of the interview
had no effect except to bring about the
appointment Of committee, such com.
mittee to hold itself in readiness for
any conference that may be requested
by the mill authorities. The nieeti Il.
lasted from,S o'cl ok, till NJ dnight.
President Rafferty, said that the ex.
pressions by the speakers were cool.
but determined. He hoped that the
mill agents will see their way clear to
allow the 10 percent raise before the
mills close, at noon Saturday. 81.
Business men who have interviewed
the mill agents say thct If the strike
goes into effect the prospects are that
every mill will be closed indefinitely.
No effort will be made to keep them
running by the employment Of non
union help. and 10 the absence of this
usually troublesome feature will. re-
duce the prospects Of disorder to min
tmum.
