CLOSED
 IN NEW BRITAIN WHEN 200 STRIKE

New Britain, Sept 21-Fo11owfng a strike of 200 mo1ders and laborers, the Vaulcan Iron. Works, the local plant of the Great Eastern Foundry Co, closed it's doors indefinitely today. The strike so crippled the plant that it was decided by the officials to close down. Within five. days the strike situation in this city has grown serious and officials of manufacturing concerns express the belief that a general strike will be the result.
 More employees of the New Britain Machine Go. joined the strikers to- day and it is believed to be merely a matter of time before the entire shop is seriously affected.
 A strike in the foundry of Landers, F'rary & Clark was nipped in the bud this morning just as the men were about to walk out. The superinten- dent talked to the employees and they were apparently satisfied that they had been treated fairly by the con cern as they resumed work.
 A dozen. helpers left the factory. Officials of concerns which have es- capped unscathed thus far are free to confess that they expect strikes in their plants almost any time.
 There have been no disturbances and the strikers are keeping away from the factories.

Settlement of the strike at the Salts Textile Co., which was expected this morning, failed when Frederick Kip, president of the company, issued a statement to the committee of en-f pleyes, expressing the views Of the concern, warming them. that the fac tory will not be opened until the com pany gets ready to open it, and that those who did not return at the time 1t is opened will lose their jobs. E The committee was composed of 10 weavers, three dyers, three preparing room operatives, two twisters, and two washers.
 Frederick Rhodes, secretary of the scompany. said this morning that the Textile Co. pays the highest wages of any concern in that-lin of business. in the United States. He said 28 cents a yard is paid weavers whereas the nearest competitor pays 1S cents. t Henry Cunliffe, president of the union the Salts. employees have formed, said this afternoon: MT. Kip called the committee into the office, this morning and didn't give them a chance to ask for what they wanted. He gave them a lecture on how good the com pany is, and when he got through he told them the factory was going to stay shut down..
 This is at variance with what the company says of the meeting. Secre- tary Rhodes authorized the following statement from the Salts concern, af- ter the meeting:
 "A committee of approximately 20 called upon us at II o'clock this morning and our MT. Kip received them. A local newspaper of Septem- Der 10, in which Organizer Thomas H. McMahon issued a challenge to the Salts Textile Go. was shown the com naittee by MT. Kip. In this challenge MT MoMahon said:
 Tn the first place, the Salts strike is a strike not much of wages as conditiens.'
