I'niteil Textile Workers of America,
left for Fail River tonight, after In
forming Il meeting of the New Eng
lanl Conference Board of that organi
zation here today that plans had been
perfected for a strike of operatives in
the cotton mills in the Fall River dis
trict. A general mass meeting will he held
In Fall River tomorrow night. Presi

vote will be taken, ns a result of (he
failure of cot ion goods manufacturers
to accede to the demand for a 20 per
cent increase in wages made by the
Cnitel Textile Workers. The opera
tives, he said. have, informally declar
ed themselves in favor of walking out
in order to enforce their demands.
Fall River, where 30,000 workers
are employed in 111 textile mills,
stands doubly eonnnitte.il to wage in
crease demand, as the Fall River Tex
tile Council made formal demand for
mi ini lease hi wages of lfi per cent, on
Friday. A contest for control of the
situation in Fall River is in porgress
between the Textile Council and Hie
I nitial Textile Workers of America,
and the situation lias been cot)iplica.tod
hy tin' different demanibn made upon
the manufacturers.

New York recently that he would try
to arrange a conference between man'
ufaeturers and workers in Fall Kiver
for today, but he said tonight that the
manufacturers had refused to agree to
a joint discussion of the situation.
