"TEXTILE UNION CHIEF TO SPEAK.
Anthony VALENTI, National Officer, to Address Uxbridge Workers. Strike Unchanged. U. T. W. Progress Will Be Submitted to All Union Locals Today.

"UXBRIDGE--July 12--Anthony VALENTI, secretary-treasurer of the Woolen and Worsted division of the United Textile Workers, will present at a meeting of all members of Local 20?6 at 10 a. m. tomorrow, the program adopted by the executive board of the UTW. The members, workers in all four plants of the town now in operation as well as those in the Rivulet plant--now closed--will be called upon to ratify the program.
"There was no change in the local strike situation today. The sole activity was a meeting of the Worsted division, at 3 p. m. in Union Hall on South Main street, under the direction of Joseph A. WILSON, president, J. William GREEN, UTW organizer in charge of the strike and several strikers spoke.
"No further action was taken by either Federal or State authorities in arbitrating the strike. Developments seemed to be held up pending action of the UTW program.
"The U. T. W. program will be acted upon tomorrow and Sunday by all the locals in the country, and after its acceptance will then be presented Monday to all textile manufacturers."

I found this on the same copied page as an obituary I ordered from the Worcester Public Library, and thought it might be of interest to someone researching the surnames VALENTI and GREEN.
