Lawrence. March 2S.-Seyen thou
sand five hundred textile operatives
In seven cotton mills here left their
work without disorder yesterday in
protest against a wage reduction ap
proximating 90 per cent. An addi-
tional 1000 workers were idle as the
result of shutdown OF the Arlington
mills. The strike marked the spread
to this textile center of the contro-
versies that have tied up the cotton
industry in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire for several months
Organizers of the United Textile
Workers of America, who took charge
of the situation yesterday, said 80
per cent Of the workers were out and
that the results had been far beyond
their expectations In view of the fact
that O week ago the operatives were
only loosely organized. Leaders OF
the "one Big Union" which also is in
terested in the strike, claimed that
their organization had gained strength.
Ben Legere, a member of the unions
executive board. predicted last week
that although the United" would
start the strike, his organization
would finish it.
The mill owners also expressed sat
isfaction with the situation and said
they had expected the walkout to as
sumo larger proportions. oflcials Of
the Pacific mills, the largest OF the
plants affected. said the mills would
reopen this morning. The Everett
mills will also open, il was announced.
Only one plant was forced to close
today. The Methuen company, at
Methuen. just over the Lawrence line,
suspended operation when no workers
reported. At the other six plants the
looms we're run with reduced forces.
The Pacific mills lost large numbers
of operatives after the last whistle
had blown this morning. Minor
walkouts were numerous in all the
mills throughout the day.
