Textile council skeptical of state board action parade planned
The Textile council and affiliated unions deem the state board investigation a waste of time. They warn no agreement will force mills to change, while a favorable report would not alter current attitudes. A Lowell march and rally are set for Monday with Robert Conroy as chief marshal. Unions gather 12 to 12:30 at their halls to form a parade route ending at the South common. Speakers include lawmakers from Fall River New Bedford and Boston officials. The parade aims for strong turnout, weather permitting. Meanwhile Lowell schools offer to admit striking workers' children Monday to offset strike losses. The Spinners union pays out strike benefits to about 270 members, with amounts varying by family size.
