LOWELL, April 1.--Action on de mands of the textile strikers, which have been presented by both the In dustrial Workers of the World and the United Textile Workers of America, will be taken at a meeting of the Lowell Manufacturers’ Association, to be called some time during the present week. The date for the meeting has not been set tled. Many of the officials individually have expressed a willingness to meet com mittees of their own employees, but not committees repesenting any union or ganization. President Jude C. Wad leigh of the Manufacturers’ Association intimated that the association as a body might be expected to take this stand. Mr. Wadleigh, who is agent of the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, said that it had always been the cus tom of the mill agents to treat with their own help when differences arose, and he did not believe that there would be any change in this policy. Both the Industrial Workers and the Textile union have asked an advance of 15 per cent in wages for their members and other operatives, and for other re adjustments. Renewed efforts to get the English speaking operatives of the Bigelow Car pet Company to join the strike, are to be made by the Industrial Workers of the World. At a meeting today a representative of the Greeks, who are allied with the Industrial Workers, told the leaders that unless the English-speaking operatives came out, the strike would be abandoned by the Greeks. The Bigelow Company is not affiliated with the Manufacturers’ Association.
