The March 11 strike in Fall River affects fifty weaving departments and about 6000 workers. Most mills idle, with only half the usual workers staying to keep one mill running. The union reports unanimous resolve and predicts a victory as manufacturers refuse wage increases and prepare for a drawn out conflict. A mass meeting of 3000 weavers was held, with calls to remain united and a compromise offer from Pocasset Mill discussed for tomorrow’s meeting.
