Textile Men May Strike.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March Three
hundred weavers employed in the Bristol
cotton mills will go on strike tomorrow
morning, and unless the trouble shall be
settled it is probable that the entire plant
will be closed within a short time. The
fact that strike of weavers was immi-
nent has been known for several days, and
even yesterday there remained only the
sanction of the union necessary to put the
movement in force. To-day the union
granted the men the privilege of striking.
The trouble is based on complaints of
poor yarn, poor filling, poor fixing, high
speeded looms and changes in style.
