VOTED TO STRIKE
More Trouble Is In Store for
0InsyviIIs Operatives.

There was a mass meeting OF the strik-
ing and other weavers OF the olneyville
mills last night, which filled Textile hall
to ovsrfowing.
The interest I'm the reports OF the ex-
ecutive committee was intense. and great
1ubilation was manifested over the de-
cision OF the 200 Plymouth weavers TO
join the strike in opposition TO the two
loom system
Addresses were made by the officers OF
the local textile union, and the meeting
ended I'm a decision OF the loomfixers OF
the various mills OF the American Wool
en- company TO go out on strike this
morning.
Last night there was also a meeting of
the weavers employed I'm the mills at
PascOag. and they voted unanimously TO
strike against the two-loom system and I'm
sympathy with the Olneyville operators.
As result of the action OF the weav-
ers and other operatives In and about the
manufacturing centre last night. the sit
uatlon looks about as ominous as IL was
in the winter months OF 1898, when there
was general strike and lockout.
It was reported that the entire manu-
featuring plant of the American Wooden
company in this section would be shut
down again, and IL was stated that there
would he no resumption until the strikers
acceded to all demands.
The burlers and spoilers in the Ameri-
can mills also met last night and voted
TO strike as soon as they were called out
by the textile union
The strike leaders struck a snaR at the
Saranac mills in Waterford where the
weavers failed TO vote to quit unless en-
order for general strike in all mills OF
the American Woolen company Is issued
IL was thought to be easier to strike Sa-
ranac weavers than any others They will
meet again next Tuesday,.
