 JOIN LOWELL STRIKE.
Present Demand for 15 Per Cent. ln-
 crease of Wages.

Lowell, Mass, March 29-Hope of an carly settlement of the strike and lockout of about 14,0O0 operatives in the cotton cloth mills of Lowell has not been abandoned by the business mentof the city, Although some of the business interests fear a protracted struggle, the majority are more opti- mistic than they were on Tuesday, the day the mills closed. A feature of to- days developments was the activity of the officials and members of the unions identified with the United Textile Workers of America. The mule spin ners and loom fixers called meetings and the weavers at the Bigelow carpet mills, who have a union organized un- der the American Federation of Labor, planned to present their grievances to Agent Firth. The Bigelow weavers de- mand an advance of IS per cent. The weavers have not struck and propose the agents sufficient time to lay their request before the owners of the mills in ECstol The Bigelow carpet mills are partly controlled by interests which are the dominating factor in the man. agement of several cotton mills.
