MILLS SHUT DOWN
FOR LONG PERIOD
Operators Anticipate Strike and
Close All Factories
1900 OPERATIVES IDLE
Agent southworth Says the Mills Will
Remain Closed Until the Strikers
Return and LAY They
Want to Work.

Lowell, Mass, March 2-In preference
to fighting the textile unions of Lowell
the agents of the seven big cotton mills
today ordered an entire suspension OF
work for an indefinite period. Two days
ago these agents officially announced that
canvass of the help showed that up
wards of so per cent were non-union and
were opposed to a strike. This sentiment
changed yesterday and when second
canvass was taken of the loom fixers,
mule spinners, carders nappers weavers
and beamers this morning 1t was seen
that the textile council was able to fulfill
it's threat and strike in the mills on
Monday.
Without delay notices Of shutdown,
to take effect at once, were posted on the
gates, and as piece hands completed their
work they were told to leave.
When speed went down at noon fully
II, 600 operatives had been forced into idle
ness. The length of the shutdown Is
problematioal, but 1t is likely to last many
weeks. as. the unions have been promised
financial support from the United Textile
Workers of America, the National Mule
Spinners' association. the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and from the local trades
and labor council, composed of forty-five
unions,

Means a Long Shutdown.

Agent W. S. Southworth of the Massa-
chusetts mills, secretary OF the Manufac-
turers association, says IL the mill people
think that the shutdown will be a fort
night they are greatly mistaken. 1t will
last. he said. until the agents are posi-
lively told that all the operatives want
to work, and when this time comes the
agents will consider the matter of re-
sumption.
President Conroy of the Textile council,
who stands as the strike leader says:
THE action of the mill agents slmplifics
matters. They have simply anticipated
us. If they had not declared a shut down
we would have tied them up any way,
and they know 1t. This makes 1t easier
for us to handle the men. l can't asay
what will happen. There may be trouble
anyway"
The shut down will affect primarily
the 1900 operatives In a month many
hundreds of operatives in small indus
tries supplying material to the big mills
will join the army of the unemployed and
the longer the enforced ldleness the great
er the paralysis of industry here.

The senate committee on
foreign relations has reported
the Cuban reciprocity treaty
favorably but with a provision
that it shall be submitted to the
house of representatives as well
as acted upon by the senate.
This opens up the entire fight
again, and will throw the treaty
over until next December. Of
course the president has power
to call an extra session Of con-
gress at any time but he has not
expressed any intention of taking
such action. Opposition to the
entire treaty however in any
form, still continuesi in the senate
from Senators Teller and Patter-
o of Colorado, McEnery and
Foster of Louisiana, and other
senator's, based on the local
interests of their constituents.

The decision of the senate that
the Cuban reciprocity treaty
must be acted upon by the house
establishes a precedent and
recognizes the constitutional
prerogative of the latter body to
vote upon all measures affecting
the public revenue. AS a matter
OF consistency all of the other
reciprocity treaties negotiated
from time to time will have to be
submitted to congress as a whole.
In the matter of the Cuban
treaty the required action Of the
house amounts to the same thing
as the consideration by congress
Of the original Cuban bill of last
year. Not only must the house
vote on the reciprocal rates but
amendments can be offered, such
as provided last year for the
abolition Of the differential. The
democratic senator's as a rule
express themselves as satisfied
to allow the Cuban bill to be acted
upon with the amendment for
submission to the house added,
believing that the treaty will fail
