30,Q00 TEXTILE MEN TO STRIKE MONDAY
New Bedford Faces Another
 Industrial Tieup

New Bedford. Mass, April Is tH1 Thirty thousand textile workers in this city today stood committed 10 a strike next Monday morning simul- taneously with the effective date of Il 10 per cent wage reduction. strike action was decided upon by an over- whelming vote, .57l 10 1SS. The re- suits of the voting by unions were announced during d meeting of the textile council last night. The deci- sion was received enthusiastic by c,0oo workers at local hall.
 Practically all of the mills of this city manufacturing fine cotton goods, rayon and silk goods are affected.
 Earlier efforts on the part of To- cal business men to intercede to the end that strike action be postponed for a week proved unavailing. An other effort. on the part of Mayor Ashley to persuade the mill owners to postpone putting the wage reduc- ton into effect also failed. The own- CTS agreed. however. to postpone the wage reduction providing that the unions would refrain from taking a strike vote for another week, in the hope that some sort of mediation
New Britain herald., 1928-04-13

might be arranged. The textile coun:- cil, in turn, declared that although it would be impossible to postpone the taking of the strike vote. an ar rangement might be made whereby the votes would be sealed and the result withheld for another week. During the meeting. however the operatives declared themselves de cidedly out of sympathy with any form of postponement.
 The New Bedford Cotton Mann lecturers association, when in- formed of the result of the ballot. in which every union involved was re- corded affirmatively. issued state ment in which it regretted that the council did not see fit to postpone it's action. There would be no change in it's stand. the association asserted.
 The manufacturers also announc- ed that the Beacon Mill had with drawn from the manufacturers as- sociation in consideration of their weavers and the loom fixers having agreed to withdraw from their re- spective unions. The mill. it was an- nounced, would be conducted as an open shop, the operatives aceptihg the 10 per cent wage reduction.
