The ailment, according to the City

.PATERSON'S SILK
. STRIKE FALLS FLAT
Weavers Decide to indefinitely
Postpone 1t and |. w. w. Ag-
itator Is Criticised.
rspeciaI to the Newark star.I

PATERSON, Dec AT a meet
ing of the silk workers of this city.
held In Institute Hall last night, 1t
was decided to indefinitely postpone
the proposed "waIk-out," and the
mills are working with their regular
forces today. i'he general sentiment
among the silk weavers seems to be
that a strike at this time. following
SO closely upon the last flve-months'
strike, would, at the best, be inadvis-
able. More than six hundred weavers
were present at the meeting last
night and In spite of attempts on the
part of the agitators of the /. W. w.
to induce the men to enter upon
campaign for a nine-hour WORKING
day. the majority Of the workers voted
I in opposition.
There were practically no instances
of any attempt to walk out" on the
part of the weavers yesterday, and
nearly all of the factories in the silk
industry reported that their employees
stuck to their looms until 8 p. m.
Ewald Koettgen. who was promi-
nently Identified with the struggle
of the useless hve-month strike which
he Is credited with starting, was the
centre of criticism at the meeting.
He tried in every manner to offset the
many sensible arguments that were
advanced by the weavers. but IN vain.
Finally he left the front of the hall
and took up position near the en-
trance
Meantime men and women, insisting
that they be heard. denounced the
efforts of the I. w. w. agents to cause
a strike or walk-out. IT was seen
early in the meeting that the plan
would fall fat" and 1t did.
Koettgen was very much in EVIL
dence toward the early portion of the
meeting, as the various ribbon shons
were called upon for report regard
ing their attitude toward str Ike.
The consensus Of opinion ran along
in this stereotyped phrase until it
became almost a joke.
"Mr Chairman, we desire to report
that the majority of the ribbon weav-
ers In our shop are opposed to the
calling OF strike at this time. When
we put the proposition to our bosses
they told us they were in favor of
the nine-hour day and that they
would grant IL II the majority of rib
bon manufacturers did the same"
One after another answered the call
of the chairman for a report. AS the
representatives recited the feeling of
the fellow workers 1t was plainly evil
dent that there would be no organized
agitation for a nine-hour working
day.
One weaver declared: 1--WE were
never consulted as to the strike by
the I. w. w leaders. and the ma
jority OF the ribbon weavers Of the
city feel that we cannot afford to
strike at this time, 1t is true there
arc many orders on hand. but we are
not In a position to go out on pro-
Ioneed strike or quit work even for a
week. Following. as 1t will. so close
to strike lasting FIVE months, which
developed into hunger strike. for
one am opposed to any action Of this
kind "
