200 More Textile
Workers Lose Jobs

Providence, March 2S.-The 200 en-
ployes in the weave shop of the Solway
Dyeng & Textile Co, Pawtucket, were
out today and the weave shop was
closed. The men declared that some
of them had struck and the rest had
been locked out. The management said
that the shop had been closed until
Monday.
According to the men. recent changes
i'll the working system in the depart
ment have forced them to work harder
for less pay than before. This MORN
ing. they say, they sent n committee
of three to the management to discuss
the matter and the committee mem
bers were at once discharged. Most of
the wcavers then struck. they say, and
the rest were locked out. The man.
agement claimed that they knew of
no dissatisfaction among the men.
The plant employs 500 hands but de-
partments outside the weave shop re-
manned in operation.
The Solway plant has been operating
as hours weekly and without wage re-
duction. Officials of the company said
the disturbance was due to a demand
for the return of a discharged weaver.
