LOWELL'S LOCKOUT.
Sudden Action of Mill Own
ers Sets 1900 Men Idle.
UNION LEADERS STRENGTHEN LINES
A Long Siege Considered Probable.
One OmciaI Says Mills VIII he
Closed TIL All the Opera
ttves Want Work.

LOWELL, Mass, March 30.-With q
long mill holiday ahead union labor in
this city is busy, Interest centers in
the textile council, which for hours
yesterday was in session at labor
headquarters working out plans for
controlling the army of textile opera
tives enlisted under its banner for a 10
per cent increase in wages. Labor men
declare that the shutdown has done
more to strengthen the union cause
than any other incident Hundreds of
new members were admitted to the
unions, urged on probably by the pros
pect of strike benefits. In this connec-
ton President Conroy and members of
the textile council who are at the head
of local unions say that all operatives
who have Joined in the issue will be
cared for.
While the shut down went into effect
Saturday noon there are many people
at work today, these being chiefly the
finishing room hands, the machinists,
section hands and overseers, for the
mill agents intend to put property in
their charge in good condition for a
long period of idleness, to make neces-
sary repairs and to prepare finished
product for shipment
After the textile council meeting
President Conroy stated that plans
were perfected for ''long siege" in
dicating that he believed the shutdown
would not be one of few weeks.
In preference to fighting the textile
unions of Lowell the agents of seven
big cotton mills ordered an entire sus-
pension of work for an indefinite peri
od. Three days ago these agents official
ly announced that canvass of the help
showed that upward of so per cent
were nonunion and were opposed to a
strike. This sentiment changed, and
when second canvass was taken OF
the loom fixers, mule spinners, carders,
nappers, weavers and beamers it was
quickly seen that the textile council
was able to fulfill its threat and strike
the mills.
Without delay notices of a shutdown,
to take effect at once, were posted on
lnc SoteS' dAu as plecc ndHuS GULL
pleted their work they were told to
leave. Fully 1900 operatives had been
forced into idleness. The length of the
shut down is problematical, but it is
likely to last many weeks.
Agent w. S. Southworth of the Mas
sachusetts mills, secretary of the Man
ufacturers' association, says that if
the mill people think that the shut
down will be for fortnight they are
greatly mistaken. 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.
