'F|REMEN STRIKE
M Slit Cotton Mills at
Fall River
Three Hour Conference Between Mill
Officials and Union Leaders Fails to
Bring .Agreement-Hearin to Be
Held to Determine Responsibility

Fall River. Mass. March 11.-Most
or the big cotton mills in this city
which have been working day and
night to fill government contracts, were
dark tonight as result of the strike
OF their union firemen.
A conference between mill officia Is
and union leaders called by Charles G.
Wood of the state board Of Cancellation
and arbitration in an effort to bring
about an agreement ended in three
hours without decision.
During the conference. a telegram
was read from Secretary of Labor Will
son urging the men TO return to their
jobs pending arbitration of their de-
mands for d eight-hour day. He Is
minded them of the urgent need of the
supplies being turned out by the mills
for the troops in the trenches and said
that John P. Colpoys, of his depart
ment was on his way here to help in ef
fort to bring about an understanding
The message failed, however. to change
the attitude of the union leaders.
The strike caused a shutdown at six
mills today. The plants affected were
four Of the seven mills OF the Ameri-
Shil iAheAheo sSO.s duu tH0 IL
Linen Co. and the American Thread
Co. The others maintained steam with
new fremen during the day, but made
no attempt to operate tonight.
At headquarters of the union it WIS
said that 322 of the 324 members of the
organization obeyed the strike order
which went into effect last night.
A public hearing to determine the re-
sponslbility for the strike will be con-
Quoted by the state board Of concilia-
.ic. and arbitration tomorrow. Mill
officials insist they have an agreement
with the firemen's union running from
Dec. last year to June Of this year.
The union leaders deny the existence
of any signed agreement.
