TEXTILE STRIKE

70 Per Cent of Indus- try Said Affected by t Walkout in N i n e' Plants.

(GP. By Guardian's Special Wire)

MONTREAL. Aug. 2 — Strikes struck suddenly throughout Quebec Province today and left in idleness “Early 10.000 men and women and nine big plants which union organ- izers claim are responsible for 70 percent of Canada's basic textile products.

The wnlkout was called early in the morning by National Catholc Federation of Textile Workers at eight plants of Dominion Textiles Limited and Montreal Cottons Lim- ited, its Va leyfield subsidiary, and up until curly this evening no ov- ertures had been made toward settlement or ncgotiat ons.

The Federation, through its President Alfred Cote, announced demands for collective bargaining rights, shorter hours and standard wage rates.

G. Blair Gordon, managing di-

rector of the Company, said in a. statement to the press he was "sor- ry to note the Federation of Textile Workers have decided to call out the membership in our mills. A1- though only a minority of our em- actually involved, it down several of our plants until condit- ions are established under which it will be feasible for the workers to return to the shops." -Workcrs were admonished to avoid trouble and most of them dis- appeared from the plants’ v-icinitics a half-hour after the strike had been declared. Montreal police granted the r ght to post two pick- ets at each entrance to the plants. And with the exception of the few pickets and painted placards an- nouncing “strike" there was noth- ing on the outside of the plants to indicate the giant tieup.

Skeleton staffs kept three factor- ies operating partialy at Drum- mondville, Sllcrbrookc and Mon- treal, but general operation was halted at the our Montreal factor- fies involving 3,000 hands, Sher- brooke, Magog and Drummonclville involving 2 500 hands, St. Gregoire de Montmorency, 1,700 and Mbn- treal Cottons at Valleyileld with 2,- 800 employees.

Union officials said the main is- sue in dispute was the working hours Workers were "fed up." they sai , with the 55-hour week and \\"_‘TC demanding collective bargain- ing rights with standard wage rates.

Large Comet Nears Maximum Brilliancy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. 2 -—- Fillslefs comcir-a heavenly object with a head eight times lnrgcr than the earth and a tail m0"! than 2,000,000 miles long-swept tonight through the northern sky toward its maximum brilliancy.

Camera shutters have 0110K“! rapidly on recent nights at the Harvard Observatory in nn effortto determine whence the comet came and whether it might ever re- tum. Scientists explained pictures of the object will be much clearer during its ascendancy than during its declination.

Maximum brilliancy, astronomers predict/ed. would be attained about Aug. 10, but shortly thereafter the moon will be 1n the first quarter nnd the northern sky will be too light for a wholly satisfactory pic- torial record of the comet's dcc- lination.

Dr. P. Finsler, professor of math- ematics at the University of Zur- lch, Switzerland, discovered the object July 5.
