Textile strike at Assabet mills escalates with mediators arrivals
Mediation arrives as the Assabet textile strike enters its fourth week. American Woolen Co announces a wage increase effective December 1 retroactive to December. The walkout draws thousands to Colonial Hall in a mass meeting and a large picket line forms at Walnut Street gate. Leaders from United Textile Workers and Amalgamated Textile Workers argue over union affiliation while officials meet with mediators to push toward settlement.
