STRIKERS ENDORSED
United Textile WorkerAAp Ac-
ton Of Employees In Manville-
Jenckes Factory.

Providence, R. l., Feb. IS PEThe
United Textile Workers of America
emergency board this morning en-
dorsed the strike of workers in the
social plant of the Manville-Jenckes
company in Woonsocket and en-
powered International President
Thomas f. Mcmahon and Executive
| Board Member John H. Powers to
take any action they saw fit in
bringing the affair to a successful
conclusion.
The contention OF the union in a
statement this morning was that the
notices posted last week by the Man.
ville-Jenclles mill, to the effect that
the plant would close after the pres
ent supply of yarn was exhausted,
constituted notice Of lockout and
intensified the action of the workers
in walking out at once
The statement also declared that
the union stood ready to arbitrate
with the mill owners and a commit
tee to be designated by the governor
of the state on the question of
whether the plant could be operat-
ed successfully on the 4S-hour per
week basis. The union heads con-
tend that the present situation is
result Of a challenge from the mill
owners who wish to operate "a hours
week.
Further action on the strike will
be taken Monday morning by Presi-
dent Mcmahon and Mr. Powers al
/ though neither would state today
whether other mills would be called
out in sympathy with the strikers

NIB. CREDIT BUREAU.
TO CLOSE ITS DOORS.
Lack Of Support Given as Reason
Other Propositions Rejected

Just as soon as it can be ar
ranged legally the New Britain
Credit Rating bureau will pass out
of existence. 1t was voted at meet
ing OF the stockholders and direc-
tErs yesterday afternoon to take
steps for its immediate dissolution.
That the bureau would pass out
of the picture has been expected
ever since this action was recon-
mended by the directors several
weeks ago. That 1t has not been a
success for some time has been q
matter of common knowledge.
At the meeting yesterday it was
pointed out that there was not
enough interest and financial sup
port TO warrant continuing in bust
ness. A number of the stockholders
desired to have the bureau con-
tinue, but there was reluctance to
assume financial responsibility. The
directors unanimously favored clos
ing, and this recommendation final
iy was accepted. Two alternatives
we're discussed and rejected. One
was proposition for the bureau to
operate on a smaller scale in the
office OF Attorney David l.. Nair.
The other was the desire Of Secre-
tary Ralph H. Benson OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce to take the bu
rea under his wing and operate 1t
from the chamber offices. Fred o.
on1 Nj Ia =
wilson, one of the directors, both OF
whom are directors of the Cham Der
of Commerce, did not favor either
proposition. believing that it had
been definitely proven that the
merchants would not support a
credit bureau here. so both PROPOSE
tons were rejected.
The bureau has operated in this
city for several years. Many OF Its
members have awaited themselves
of its service and in a number OF
cases men who were hopelessly en-
tangled in debt were helped out OF
their difficulties. In other cases
merchants were protected from
opening charge accounts for dead
beata." Several concerns were in
vestigated by the bureau during its
early days
On the resignation of Captain
Harry Haynes, founder, the man
asement Of the bureau fell into the
hands OF Albert r. Hauschulz. Lack
of support handicapped Mr.. Hau-
schulz until on January /. it was
voted to drop the collection depart
ment in an effort to save the credit
service. The final dissolution of tie
bureau followed.
1t lis likely the records will be
destroyed.
1t was learned today that Mr.
Hauschulz submitted proposition
of taking over the bureau as an in.
dependent business, but that nc
