necessary in connection with the wage
cut of 10 per cent. announced in the
mills OF the Manville jerks Co here
at the special meeting today of the
Rhode Island Textile Council. called
to consider it's attitude on the wage
question.
President Mcmahon said this en-
dorsement of the recent vote of the
United Textile Workers of America
with which the Rhode Island council is
affiliated. carried with it authority for
him to call for action on the part of
the operatives 1T such times and such
place as he decides. without further
notice.
1--WE will use every reasonable influ-
ence to avoid a strike" he said, but
ii this cut in wages is not restored
the battle will be OF. We do not want
an imprOmptu strike. 1t is possible
that enough influence can be brought
to bear on the manufacturers to restore
the cut. but only through organization
The manufacturers must restore wages
or We will have a scrap
Mcmahon said that his statement and
today's vote applied to all other mills
which might put wage reductions into
effect.
Discussing the situation at :Ianches-
ter, n. H.. where the Amoskeag mills
obtained the consent of IL committee
of operatives to a 10 per cent. cut. he
said that his organizers We're in close
touch with the situation there and that
be had been informed only today that
the Amoskeag workers had voted to
follow the advice of the council as to
any further action. Decision in this
case. as in Rhode Island. would depend
upon conditions. he said.
In his communication to the council
which brought the vote of authorize
ton. President McMahon said "organ-
ization of the textile workers under the
banner Of the American Federation Of
Labor is going ON rapidly. The unor-
EaniZed workers are mainly responsible
for the present cut i'm wages. When
the battle starts. and start 1t will, none
but those (and their families) who are
connected with our union will be as
sisted"
He summarized his reasons for ask
ing authority to resist the cut as fol-
lows: An increase in machinity oper-
ated by each operator. enabling the
manufacturers to save % per cent. in
wages: reduction of 81 per cent. IN the
price of cotton in the retail market.
