STRIKE SITUATION.
Little Hope Of Immediate
Settlement at Lowell.
New Bedford Operatives. Given an
Advance and Are Happy.
Skowhegan and vassalboro Mills Will
Soon Ask Increase.

Lowell. Mass, March 29.-At / o'clock
this morning, it did not seem possible
to avert the strike Of $1,000 operatives
Of seven corporations in this city, Mon
day morning next, because of a refusal
of the agents to advance wages 10 per
cent. A committee of business men
called into secret conference, early yes
terday afternoon, the mill agents who
had refused to advance wages, and the
officers of the Textile Council which
had ordered the strike. For II hours.
with only short recesses for food, did
the conference last without a result.
At one time, it is understood, settle
ment was in sight, by the willingness
of the TeYtile Council to accept a per
cent. advance in wages as a cOmpro-
mise, but just at that time a telegram
was received from New Bedford stat
ing that the advance had been granted
there. Almost instantly the Textile
Council officers declined to consider
compromise. This was shortly before
IL o'clock last night. Then the commit
tee had to begin its task anew.
On every mill gate in the city where
the strike is going into effect, notices
appeared. Friday, stating that the mills
would not open, Monday, and that work
would not be resumed until the opera
tives decided to come back of their own
volition.
For IL hours a committee of citizens
has been discussing the situation with
the mill officials. and at 100 o'clock
this morning, they seemed to have
reached no semblance of a solution of
the problem.
The police department has sent re-
quest to the mayor for a special meet
ing of the city council at which an ap-
preparation might be raised for the pur-
pose of enabling the department to be
better prepared for the preservation of
law and order.
No action has been taken in the mat
ter as yet The session of the citizens
committee was called at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, but it was not until
after dark that it got down to real
business.
At O'Clock, a recess of one hour was
taken and a few minutes past the

at the gist of the conference by inter-
viewing members of the citizens and

Supt. Bowen of the Appleton, arrived

NEBRASKA-The Nebraska Federation in

Woman's club and the Clenlan's Woman's
club OF South Omaha, the latter having been

OF the executive committee, owing to the

ton has taken no action regarding the ad-
mission Of colored clubs to the General Fed
GRAFTON, but an Informal expression from
representatives Of many OF the clubs Of the
state indicates a wide variety Of opinions,
with a majority opposed TO their admission.

rights, without reorganization. and it was
upon this suggestion that the subsequent
