Lawrence Mass., March 27t Ths
New England textile strike was ex
tended today to this city, an old bat
tleground for mill disputes, with cur
tailment of production In several
places, but no disorders. Several
thousand operatives refused to go to
work in protest against a 20 per cent
wage cut.
The .Pacifle mills were the most
seriously affected of the Seven
plants, which opened under reduced
pay schedules. In the lower Paoiflo
mills ths electricians and machinists
were among those who stayed out
and many who appeared at the plant
as usual were unabls to work be
cause of lack of power. They left
Immediately. At the Pacific print
mills a few went to work, but most
of these left later in the day. The
Pacific employs normally about 10,
000 operatives,
At the other mills where cuts were
effective today many workers ap
peared at the regular hours, but soon
began to leave. These plants are
the 'Everett, Arcadia, Monomac,
Pemberton, Katama and Methuen.
These mills employ approximately
3,000 operatives.
The Arlington mills carried out
their Intention to close.
The large plants of the American
Woolen company did not announce
wage cuts and were not affected.
Almost from dawn the streets
were thronged with idle mill work
ers, who walked aimlessly About.
Picketing was unorganized.
All Quiet at Pawtucket.
Pawtucket, R. I., March 27. The
tenth week of the strike of textile
workers of the Blackstone Valley
opened quietly today. Altho an un
usually large number of pickets
were on duty there was no report f
violence.
Estimates placed the number,' of
men who quit at about 6,600, witn
as many more thrown out of work
by the closing of the Arlington Mills.
Pickets operated about the plants,
but without apparent organization
and In no instance that was reported
did their solicitations lead to vi
olence. A summary of the mills affected
today with the number on strike ap
proximately follows:
Pacific Mills, 8.100; Everett Mills,
750; Arcadia, 650; Monomac, 300;
Pemberton Mills, 200; Katama
