many weeks, as the unions have been
promised financial support from the
United Textile Workers of America, the
National Mulespinners' association, the
American Federation of Labor, and

Gil, composed of forty-five unions

Agent w. s. Southworth, of the Mas
sachusetts mills, secretary of the Man.
ufacturers' association. says if the mill
people think that the shutdown will
be for a fortnight they are greatly mis-
taken. 1t will last, he says, until the
agents are positively told that all the
operatives want to work, and when this
time comes the agents will consider the
matter of resumption. President Con-
roy of the Textile Council, who stands
as the strike leader, says:
Simplifies Situation.
1.-THE action Of the mill agents simpli-
fies matters. They have simply antici-
pated us. If they had not declared a
shutdown, we would have tied them
up, anyway, and they know it. This
makes it easier for US to handle the
men. I can't say what will happen
There may be trouble, anyway"
The shutdown will affect primarily
the 1900 operatives. In month many
hundreds Of operatives in small indus
tries supplying material to the big
mills will join the army of the unem-
ployed, and the longer the enforced
idleness the greater the paralysis of in
dustry here.
Products Affected.
The product Of these mills ranges
from the coarsest of grain cotton to the
finest of dress goods. going through all
grades of print cloths, sheeting, shirt
ing, .sateens, nainsooks, dimities, blan-
kets, toweling, table linen and silk
warp goods. The weekly pay roll is
S13S000.

TEXTILE WORKERS
ARE LOCKED OUT
Employer S Force the
Issue.
T noon Saturday all the
textile workers Of Lowell
were thrown out Of work,
the owners deciding to

close the plants indefinitely.
The action was caused by the
workers decision to strike Mon
day unless their demands for
higher wages and other eonees-
sions were acceded to.
1t has been fully determined by
the employers to boat the union
in to submission, and It is an.
nounced that not spindle will
turn until the employees come
back and ask for work.
Strike breaking will not figure
in the trouble and it seems to be
the policy of the mill owners to
starve the operatives into suing
for peace.
