Mills Opposed to Any Wage Boost
Textile workers across 35,000 operatives threaten a general strike if wages are not kept at 54 hours for a 48 hour week. The American Woolen Company offers 48 hours pay for 48 hours work, prompting widespread rejection and mass meetings across Italian, Lithuanian, French, and Polish groups. A Friday general committee vote will decide whether to back 54 hours pay or accept the company’s 48/48 plan, amid fears of a citywide walkout starting Monday.
