Employes | Quit When Refused Interview | THINK OTHERS T0 FOLLOW Concern Operates Biggest Mill in Fall River—Textile Mills Commit- Bedford Inspires tee of New Walk-Out, Fall River, Mass., Aug. 8 (UP)— The New Bedford textile strike, now in its 17th week, spread to this great mill center today. At noon, approximately 1,200 em- ployes of the American Printing Co. had walked out, and it was feared hat m of the concern's 4,300 operatives would follow. Biggest Mill The Amcrican Printing Co. is the biggest mill in Fall River, which | has 94 mills, empoying between 30,- 000 and 33,000 persons. The local strike was Inspired by the so-called radical textile mills committee, which has taken an ac- tive part in the New Bedford strike, which involves 56 mills and about 28,000 operatives, Refuses Interview Refusal of Nathan Durfee, assist- ant treasurcr of the American Print- ing Co., to interview textile mills committee representatives who call- ed on him, precipitated today's walkout. he textile mills committee, di- rected here by Peter Hagelals, is de- manding cancellation of a 10 per cent wage cut put in effect in Fall River mills several months ago, and also a 20 per cent wage increase. Protest Wage Cut Tt was in protest against a similar 10 per cent wage cut that the New Bedford operatives walked out em April 16, At the office of Assistant Treasur. er Durfee, it was said at noon that it was impossible to estimate the number particnpating in the Fall River walkout, but it was reliably reported that this number already had reached the 1,200 mark. Fear was expressed at the mill office that 1nore operatives would join in the strike before night. Thus far only the company's ayon division has been affected, all operatives in the cotton division re- maining at work. Organizer Hagelias announced that those participating in the walk- out would hold a mass meeting at 2 P. m. on a vacant lot on Mulberry steet. He expressed satisfaction with the strikers' response to the strect. He expressed satisfaction that the walkout be staged. Peaceful Fashion The walkout was conducted in a peaceful fashion and no trouble de- veloped. Police Chief Martin Fee- ney said his department was pre- pared for any emergency but that he did not anticipate that police inter- vention would be necessary. 1t was reported that the textile mills committee, elated over its ini- tial strike campaign in this city, would carry on a carefully organ- ized campaign to induce a general walkout in Fall River. The fact that New Bedford man- ufacturers, in supporting their argu- ment for a 10 per cent wage reduc- tion, have pointed to the general ac- ceptance of such a reduction by Fall River operatives, was believed to have inspired the so-called radical group of strike leaders to seek re- storation of the old wage scale in this city. Final Effort Boston, Aug. 6 (UP)—A final ef- fort to settle the New Bedford tex- tile strike will be made by the state board of arbitration and arbitra- tion before the board begins its in- stigation of the controversy Wed- nesday, it was announced at the " | state house today. Bdward Fisher, chairman of the board, stated that the board weuld call upon the manufacturers and unions to ascertain if something cannot be done toward an amicable justment of the strike now in its h week.

CITY CURTAILS WORK FOR LACK OF MONEY Applicants for City Jobs Sent Home After En- gineer Explains An assembled crowd of more than 200 applicants for city jobs was dis- persed at city hall this morning by City Engineer Philip A. Merian, yho {told the men street work has been curtailed because there is no longer enough money to carry on. Because of this condition, two road gangs were dropped from the payroll Saturday, about 30 laborers and Foremen John Burns and John Vaneski being included. They were among the more recent additions to the staff of foremen. These dismis- sals bring the payroll down to a point closer to its status before Mayor Paonessa inaugurated a pro- gram of public improvements to re- lieve the unemployment situation, and it Is believed that this force can be continued without exceeding the payrotl and street construction and repair items in the budget of the board of public works. The unemployment relief program has been carried on for nearly three months without additional appropri- ations from the board of finance and common council. Contemplated road improvements have been push- ed ahead and funds intended tor permanent pavement and other items entailing large costs for ma- terials have been transferred into a payroll account. The books of the department of public works show it is 70 longer possible to work on this basis. The first step toward curtail- ment came Saturday when James J. | Desmond, director of the municipal employment bureau, was dropped from the payroll ,and while it was first planned to name another to his position, it now seems likely that the job will go out of existence.
