News from Lawrence Textile Strike: Joe Ettor Travels to Boston, Seeks Settlement
From The Boston Daily Globe of January 24, 1912:
By F. P. SIBLEY.
LAWRENCE, Jan 23-Mayor Michael A. Scanlon and Alderman Robert S. Maloney went to Boston this afternoon and enlisted the services of the State Board of Arbitration in the effort to bring the striking textile mill operatives and their employers to a conference with the view of settling the strike.
Joseph J. Ettor and five members of the strikers’ committee also went to Boston today at the call of Max Mitchell [emissary of the the American Woolen Company] and had a conference with two men closely allied with the mill owners. The conference was a secret one and Ettor refused to make any statement as to what took place. On his return he made a date with Mayor Scanlon to meet the mill owners if they agreed to his plan.
