'The dirigible seemed sluggish and
slow to respond to her controls. While
she ended the trip all right. she dis
obeyed her rudder several times in a
way that was alarming. The. result
was that on her return trip from

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. 22.-
Rhode Island textile manufacturers
today refused to submit to arbitra-
tion the questions of hours and wages
involved in the strikes that have af-
fected $4,000 operatives In the cotton
mills of this state. At a public meet
ing before the state board of mediation
and conciliation they also refused to
make public their operations costs but
offered to do so confidentially to the
chairman of the board
Representatives of the organized
strikers agreed to arbitration of the
wage question only.
A recent wage reduction of 20 per
cent and restoration of the. 54-hour
week led to the strike which now
affects $4,000 persons.
The meeting of the board was the
outstanding development OF the tex
tile situation throughout the state to-
day.
Blackstone and Pawtucket strikers
were quiet under the watchful eyes
OF state militia, who guarded mills at
Pawtucket, Pontiac and Natick. where
troubles occurred earlier in the week.
A thousand silk workers, whose wages
have not been cut, walked out at Paw
tucket
Leaders of both the Amalgamated
Textile Workers and the United Tex
tile Workers of America attended to-
days meeting of the mediation board.
Supreme Court Judge Jerome III.
Hahn. chairman. read statement
submitted by the manufacturers in
which they said that in their opinion
arbitration would not be conducive to
the best ultimate interests of either
employers or employees"
"The price at which our goods must
be sold is fixed by the open market"
the statement said. mo arbitration
can reach or affect this price. The
adjustment of wages to enable us to
meet market prices is a subject of
thoughtful consideration by every
manufacturer and improper adjust
ment means the ruin of our business
and consequent idleness to all of our
employees.
"It would be manifestly unwise to
leave the settlement of such an inn
portant question to the determination
OF outside parties who have little
knowledge of the conditions under
which our business is being con-
Quoted"
