Fall River Strike Threatens Widespread Mill Shutdowns
The February labor crisis gripped Fall River Massachusetts as ten mills halted operations this morning while the Slade Tecumseh and Sagamore mills stopped. The Wampanoag Border City and Chace mills ran briefly but faced closure ahead. The strike threatened 3,760 workers, $24,000 in weekly pay losses, and 40,000 cloth pieces per week, with unions urging weavers to refuse knobstick work and join the protest. A split among manufacturers about a general shutdown persisted as the labor dispute expanded to Metacomet mill workers and broader industry concerns. A spinners’ appeal urged solidarity and warned against industrial slavery, while leaders debated next steps and possible shutdowns. The city awaits decisive action as the labor conflict deepens and potential widespread unemployment grows.
