SOLDIERS SENT TO CONCORD !
Prompt Steps are Taken by Governor
Morrison to Handle Serious Strike
Situation In cabarrus County.

Asheville.-Gov. Cameron Morrison
ordered state troops to Concord, in
Cabarrus county, TO take complete
charge Of the textile strike situation.
Gen. John Van Nets, commander OF
the One Hundred and Nineteenth regi-
ment during the world war, has been
requested to take charge at once and
use special train If necessary. The
Concord troops have been ordered
modified and the Charlotte troops
are in arms ready for immediate call.
Adjt. Gen. j, V. Metts, who is at
Camp Glenn, has been ordered to take
charge of the situation at Concord.
Maj. r. r. Faison of Greensboro has
been ordered to proceed at once and
take charge temporarily.
Governor Morrison announced that
the decision to order troops to Concord
in view Of the strike situation came
after urgent requests from city and
county officials of Cabarrus county.
Mayor j. w. Womble of Concord, in
a formal request to the governor for
troops, stated that the situation was
growing worse and it was felt that
rioting may result and that human
life will be sacrificed unless sufficient
force Is provided. All efforts to Sc
cure sufficient number of police
have failed, he stated
Sheriff C. L. Spears wired that as
the city authorities could not handle
the situation and he could not, the
matter was in the hands of the gov
ernor in case trouble should start.
