MAYOR RENFRO FOR
COUNTY CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

In a recent interview with
one of the sponsors of the move
ment toward a consolidated
Wise County Chamber of Com
merce, Mayor C. W. Renfro of
Wise, remarked:
"The effort toward the Or
ganization of a Wise County
Chamber of Commerce is one
which deserves the heartiest
approval and financial and NOR
al support of all Wise Count
ians. Obviously it has been prov
en- beyond all doubt that the life
of Individual town chambers of
commerce, as a small unit, is
more or less problematical, and
this seems to be the key to the
solution of bringing everyone
forward in grand concerted
effort toward making Wise
County an industrial as we'll as
an agricultural center. The
Town of Wise will give it its
wholehearted support"

Note:

q Chamber of Commerce why

 A citizens strike relief commit tee has been organized to supervise the distribution of money In the most needy cases. Swamped with appeals for financial assistance. the board of public welfare indicated that a supplementary appropriation would be required to alleviate suf- feNng.
 The strike. now in its second week. remained today as the most Ipeaceful labor controversy of its size in New England's industrial history. Although more than 2s,oo0 participated in the walkout, no acts of violence have been reported and no special police precautions have been necessary.
 Rumors that one of the largest of the 26 mill corporations affected by the walkout was consideripG withdrawal from the fight and granting the employees demands cheered the operatives today. It was believed that the surrender of any ot the large mills might result in collapse of the manufacturers forces and a victory for the strikers. Inc operatives went out on April It In protest against a general 10 per cent wage cut. SpaSmodic plckcting has been carried on by the strikers but no attempts to reopen he idle mills have been made.
