STRENUOUS
MEASURES
NOT NEEDED.
Flichburg Operatives VIII Not
Go on Strike In Sympathy
With OInsyvlIIs WsaVlrs.

Fitchburg, Mass, March 1.-THE report
10 the effect that the weavers in the Beoh
mills of the American Woolen company
here would strike this morning I'm sym
pathy with those employed by tho COM
pany at Olneyville, II. l., as circulated
yesterday, appears 10 have been without
foundation because every loom was run
ming this morning and there were no
signs OF dissatisfaction.
1t is thought that the weavers OF this
city win vote 20 strike. A meeting will
be held this evening 20 discuss the re-
port OF a committee which for several
days has been consulting the strikers at
Olneyville but other than vote 20 fur
nish them with whatever funds are neces-
sary. no other action will, il is thought,
be taken.
The feeling has been expressed by sew
eral OF the weavers here that the case
at issue did not demand strenuous meas
ures on their part, such as giving up their
positions and remaining out for many
weeks while they earned nothing TO sup
port their own families. IL Is thought 70
be the better policy 90 remain at work
and give financial assistance 10 those who
arc out in Rhode Island.
