A MONSTER STRIKE
Seems Almost Certain to Soon
Come in Lowell,
The Mill Agents Absolutely Refuse to
Advance the Wages.
Most of the Unions are Said to Favor
Strike.

Lowell, Mass, March 23-Lowell is
threatened with one of the largest and
most disastrous strikes in it's history
as result of the communication sent
to the Textile Union by the mill agents
in reply to the official demand of that
body for an increase in wages for the
textile operatives of the city.
The communication which was re-
ccived by President Rafferty,, Friday
night, and the contents of which has
been kept secret, was read at the meet
ing of the Textile Council in Carders
and Pickers hall, this afternoon. A
positive, unconditional refusal of the
demands of the operatives was the
tenor of the letter and as it was read
to the body there was an ominous 81
lence.
Nobody but President Rafferty, and
Secretary Ashton, not even the dele
gates to the council, knew what the let
ter contained until it was publicly read
| in the meeting, and so, although they
felt that it was unfavorable, the full
weight of the note did not fall upon
them until the president had ceased
reading.
| "A SuSSeSllOH vi IL WdS
the least the operatives expected, but
from the determined stand of their
representatives in the Textile Council
| ii would seem as though that unless
| their demands are acceded to, 1t will be
a fight to bitter finish.
The communication from the mill
men is not joint note, as was sup
posed. Each agent answers for him
self, but the language is identical. This
proves beyond a doubt that the note
was framed at a meeting of the mill
officials. Several days ago it will be
| remembered that a local mill man stat
ed that the demand of the Lowell OPP
eratives was submitted to the treas
urers of the various corporations, and
| it is generally believed that it was at
a meeting of the officials in Boston,
| Thursday night, that the action was
taken as expressed in the communica-
ton to the Lowell Textile Council.
President Rafferty, refused to make
any comment upon the note to the
newspaper men, preferring to wait un-
til after the next meeting of the coun-
Gil, which will be held, Wednesday
night, in Carders and Pickers hall. The
note sent to the council is as follows:
| Lowell, March q, 1902.
Gentlemen: Agents of the cotton
mills in Lowell have carefully consid-
cred the information received from you
March II, containing the demand OF
Lowell Textile Council that wages in
said mills be advanced 10 per cent,
March "a. The average wages now paid
are as high as they have been ever be-
fore, even in the most prosperous sea-
sons. The present cost of raw mate
rails and the prices which can be OBJ
| tanned for the fabrics manufactured at
Lowell are such that we feel that ii
would be better to close the mills than
run with wages increased as demanded.
| Regretting the necessity of giving an
unfavorable reply,
81 remain yours.
