 TEXTILE INQUIRY
Calls Committee nseda6 to Probe IndwhJ's Labor Troubles

Washington, May .e (UP)-Chair- man La Toilette has issued call for | meeting of the senate manufac- turers' committee tomorrow to vote on the Wheeler resolution proposing . senatorial investigation of labor troubles in the textile industry.
 Tho committee concluded hearings on the resolution Monday when own CTS and operators of southern mills testified to conditions in their sec ton.
 La Toilette said he hopes to reach . final decision on the investigation resolution at tomorrow's meeting.
 He revealed that if the committee votes down the Wheeler resolution he will move in the senate to dis charge the committee and carry tho fight to the senate floor.
 The testimony of the mill owners has, not changed his opinion. The situation warrants an investigation. La Toilette said.
 1T have seen and heard more than enough to convince me that there should be an investigation" he said.
 Senator Wheeler, democrat. Mon- tana, author Of the resolution, will offer an amendment in the meeting tomorrow to extend the scope Of the inquiry to the entire textile industry. As he introduced it the investigation would have been confined to the south.
 Some southern senators have therefore, withdrawn their opposi- ton but Senator Overman, democrat, North Carolina, still Is opposed to 1t, however, in spite of considerable pressure which has been brought to bear upon him by labor orsanixa- tions in his home state.
