Providence, R. I. The Rhode Island textile strike, now starting its eighth week, has developed Into a war of attrition. This is the opinion expressed by representatives of both manufacturers and workers. We will fight It out on these lines If It takes all summer, said William H. Derrick of the Amalgamated Textile Workers, head of the strike organization In the Pawtuxet valley, of the where more than operators Idle in the state are ordinarily employed. Derrick announced his objective to be a one-thir- 18,-00- d 0 forty-eight-ho- week, no reduction in wages and no discrimination against strikers reto work. Just as fast as the turning employee demonstrate that they want to go back or any considerable number of them the mills will be opened said Edward F. Walker, secretary of the Rjytde Island Textile association. The manufacturers propose a 20 per cent wage reduction and week. Approximately a score of their mills are closed. Derrick claims that the Pawtuxet valley strikers could carry on indefinitely without work, t Seven soup kitchens in as many mill villages feed thousands of strikers dally. Contributions continue to come In steadily from the outside, he says. The , strikers continue to dwell in houses owned by the mills. Strike headquarters In Arctic have been leased for a year. If the mill owners evict our workers, they will have to drive out about 30,000 persons, counting five to a family, Derrick declared. "Anyway, the weather Is getting warmer and they can live in tents.

Disturbances, accom panled by some bloodshed, whlch have taken place in the states of Mlchoacan and Jalisco during the last few weeks are causing the central government here to assume an energetic attitude in policing these districts, although the activities do not appear to have been directed against President Obregon. Morelia, capital of Michcacan, for several days has been In a state of panic, due to threats of rebels, under Colonel Francisco Cardenas, to take the city. Reports received Jere Indicate that the revolutionists are surrounding Morelia and possibly may occupy It. Several guards maintained by Francisco J. Muglca, governor of Mlchoe-can- , clashed with a rebel detachment on the outskirts of Morelia. Several men were killed. The rebels retreated. Muglca is said to have abandoned the government palace during the fighting and to have taken refuge In the tower of the cathredral. Press dispatches from Morelia are obscure as to the real situation there, but It appeurs that various rebel forces are united under the command of Cardenas and are threatening the state authorities as represented by Governor Muglca. The state government la being supported by federal troops. The state of Jalisco has been added to the list of states where the governor Is In conflict with an aggressive opposition. Governor Basllo Vadillo Is at outs with his legislature, which charges him with being responsible for recent demonstrations In which several persons were killed and many injured. The state of Pueblo, which was the scene several weeks ago of armed resistance against the state government of Jose Maria Sanchez, apparently has returned to normal after the ousting of Sanchez and the substitution of Froylan C.

No limitation la placed on the number of men to be maintained In the Philippines, the committees report stating, however, that Secretary Weeks believes that under present conditions some reduction can be made in the force there.
