MANNING MAKES STATEMENT
UPON ANDERSON STRIKE f

Columbia, Nov. 7-Governor Man
ming, in long statement issued to-
day, states clearly his position con-
cerning the textile strike which has
been assuming serious proportions at
Anderson. The statement includes a
number of letters which have been
exchanged.
Because on some other occasion,' -
says Gov. Manning, "the circum-
stances did not warrant interference
on my part, the idea seems to have
spread abroad that 7 will not act in
industrial disputes. This idea is err
roneous. The civil processes of the
courts are for the court official to
carry out. When it is established
that they have failed then will use
whatever power is vested in the gov
ernor to carry them out"
The strike at Gluck and Eouinoy
mills, in Anderson. was declared sew.
eral weeks ago. Members of the state
board of conciliation are now at An.
derson. An attempt was made tc
eject operatives from some of the
cottages. The magistrates constable
met with armed resistance. In his
statement the governor points out
that the sheriff is the highest peace
officer in the county. He will not act
until the sheriff has failed to carry
out the orders of the court.
"Refore I can order out the mill
tia," says the governor in a telegram
to Robert f. Ligon, manager of the
Equinox mill, "to enforce court or
ders the inability of the courts to on
force them through the local officers
provided by law for this prupose
must be established"

E. Green was convicted in the nolce
court of running a pool room without
E"ense. This was mistake, as he
has license for the conducting of
his pool room. The conviction was
upon the charge of gambling, and
Green says it was a matter of spite /:
that he had day or two before, re-
ported Marvin Charles to the officers
for selling whiskey, which report led
to Charles being brought before the
magistrates court and admitted to
