RIVAL FACTIONS
 HAVE CONFLICT

HaFerhill, Mass, Jan. 27-The con1 hict between the Boot and shoa Workers union and the Shoe Work. CTS Protective union, rival orgauiza- tions, for control of the shoe opera tives of this city, was reflected today in a demonstration and picket cordon st the plant of the Austin H. Perry Co. The occasion was the inaugura- ien of an agreement between the Perry company and the E. and s. w. U. by which the latter's wage list and working conditions were accepted as governing the conduct of the plant
 The effect of the new agreement, according to leaders of the $. ". P. U. was to exclude 400 of its members from employment. These works es- abolished a line of pickets around the Perry factory and later marched to the s. W. P. U. headquarters, where the situation was discussed.
 Several factories in this city have displaced s. W. P. U. contracts with agreements with the B. and S. ". L Members of the S. w. P. U. have voted at mass meetings to authorize a gen. eral strike, if necessary, to maintain the unions contracts
