 Pressure was at once brought to bear on the Otis company and 6 special committee of stockholders named to consider the situation which was created when the man. agement decided that, in line with other New England textiles, the Otis company could better meet southern competition on its own ground.
 The committee met here Monday and reported it had concluded that continuation of all the companys New England operations was feas- ible.
 The news was heard with general rejoicing in the two towns. Yester- day the directors met for a general discussion of the situation and it was believed that definite final ac- ton was taken.
 In addition to its mills at Ware and Greenville, the Otis company also owns plants here, near Palmer, Mass, and In the south. It was proposed to move the majority of the lines now manufactured ill the first two places to the south and the remainder which were not dis continued, to the plants in the vii cinity of Palmer
