TEXTILE WORKERS QUT ML TOWNS ‘Hundreds Seek New Homes When Strike Settlement Fails to Develop. i INDUSTRY THREATENED State of Rhode Island May Lose One of Greatest Rev- enue Sources. Special Dispatch to The Star. i PROVIDENCE, R. I, August 3.— Like Goldsmith's “Deserted Village, the cotton textile towns in the once humming Pawtuxet valley home of the “Fruit of the Loom” mills and many others, rapidly are being drained of their population. New Bedford, Lawrence, Fall River and other New England textile cen- ters are drawing the workers of loom and spindle in a mighty tide ! which threatens to mark the ebb of | textile proeperity in this heretofore | rich section of Rhode Island. The seven-month-old strike, fol- lowing a 20 per cent cut in wages and | an attempted readjustment of hours of labor is the cause. Fallure to settle the strike on a basis satisfac- tory to both sides has made it neces- sary for hundreds of operatives to seek other flelds of employment and | this they are now doing rapidly Thoughts of a gigantic tent colony | ; to house evicted strikers have bee abandoned by the Amalgamated Tex- | {tile Workers of America, in which | most of the strikers are enrolled By snowfall it is believed there will be no need for such a colony if the strike lasts until then. Mill managers frankly are fearful of the consequences. Merchants daily are losing customers who have traded with them for generations. Truck Joads of household goods and cher- ished possessions daily are passing through the valley villages en route | — to the new homes of the strikers, who have reluctantly, after more than half a year of idleness, torn themselves from a land where they have lived and tofled for many years. The exodus only began a few weeks ago. and it has been increasing in volume ever since. Hope for a set- tlement was slow in abandonment. Little white “company houses,” once the homes of the workers, are stand- ing in long_ empty rows in the vil- lages of Crompton, Arctic, River Point, Natick, Phoenix and other hamléts which for generations have been centers of one of Rhode Island’s greatest industries. Indeed, were the same hegira to| take place in the other-textile valley, ! on the banks of the Blackstone river, the future of Rhode Island as a cot- ton textile center would be jeop- ardized. As it is the Pawtuxet valley must seek elsewhere for help to run the big mills once the strike is ended, Most of the strikers have been fed for the last four or five months by a | strike committee, which has received donations from many parts of the | country for the upkeep of soup kitch- { ens. Merchants have “trusted” the strikers and thousands of dollars in savings have been used to tide them over the idle period. Most of the re- maining savings for those who had the money to leave the valley went for furniture removal and an attempt to square their debts. (Copyright, 1922.) i 25 CENTS FOR $200.
