CONFERENCE ASKED.
New Bedford Operatives Not Satisfied
With Five Per Cent. Offer.

New Bedford. June 24.-The New
Bedford Textile Council held special
meeting tonight TO act upon the offer
of tho New Bedford Manufacturers
Association of an increase of per
cent. in wages. The offer of the manu-
facturers was made in reply to a re
quest of the Textile Council that
wages be advanced 10 per cent.
At tonight's meeting it was voted to
ask the representatives Of the Manu-
facturcrs' Association for conference
on the wage question. The Textile
Council further expressed a wish that
the proposed conference be held before
Wednesday night. They desire to dis
cuss the proposed five per cent. ad-
vance which the members of the Tex
tile Council do not consider sufficient
under present conditions.
The Textile Council intends to make
every effort to secure a wage increase
of 10 per cent.
