PEACE RESTORED
 IN COTTON STRIKE
Labor Unions Allow Mills to
 Resume in Marion, N. (.

Marion. N. C., Aug. 21 R-Thc strike at the Clinchfield cotton mill today apparently had settled down to d test of endurance between the striking members of the United Tex tile Workers of America and the management, which is attempting to | operate with non-union employees. The mill resumed operation at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon alter three weeks idleness. The union picketers, who had prevented fore iDly a scheduled re-opening of the mill on Monday, permitted the non- union workers to pass through the mill gates unmolested.
 Their attitude of peaceful picket ing was in accordance with an agree lnent reached by the mill manage ment, union leaders and N. A. Town send, executive counselor to Cover TOT Gardner. after a conference.
 Under it's terms, the strikers agreed to preserve order and per init non-union workers to enter the mill and the management promised that no labor would be imported.
 Despite the agreement, National Guardsmen who were called to the scene Monday after the strikers fore cd non-union workers 10 remain away from the mill, were held on duty.

of robberles and of Ralph Kemp l captured in the same battle, today were prostrated by the news.
 At the Barry home it was said the youth had left in July 10 visit rela- tives in Hollywood, Cal. and to at tempt to break into the moving pic ture industry. Police hold a war rant for his arrest for non support of Alma Whitehead, whom he mar ried a year ago and. allegedly, de- serted soon afterward.
 Tried Woods Wager
 Kemp, a pipefitter by trade and the oldest of six children, gained some publicity several years ago by entering the New Hampshire woods to earn his living picking moss and wild plants on wager between two Boston business men that he could make $500 over living expenses in 30 days by the sale of plants and herbs. He failed, however, to stick it out.
 Both the Kemp and Barry families lives in the Germantown section of this city.

time thereafter contented himself with securing a living in that capa- city on various ships.
 When he finally tired of the briny deep, he settled for time in Persia where he was engaged by an Eng fish automobile concern in the ca pacity of salesman for which he re- ceivcd $120 per month. It was not long before the call of adventure rang again in his ears and boarding a ship, made his way to Russia.
 Becomes Taxi Driver
 After arriving in Moscow, he found that conditions were not suit able and the question arose whether 10 go back to Persia where the old job awaited him. or go to Warsaw which was much nearer and which he had not seen for a number of years.
 Warsaw won and he decided to return to the place of his birth This was in the spring of 1928. At first he engaged himself in translat- ing literature into different langu- ages He next worked in a large commercial house and finally launched upon a career of a taxicab driver as it afforded the best com pensation. He would prefer 10 do something else, something more ap- pcaling to his intelligent nature. but as he claims "beggars cant 1e choosers,' he sticks to his wheel, patiently waiting until something better turns up.
 Among the many treasured pos sessions, he has many odd-lcoking documents from different countries, drivers licenses, passports, and let tcrs of recommendation written in Egyptian, Persian, Chinese. Turkish and many other languages of the Near and Far East, not mentioning the large amount of personal Dusi- ness cards and letters written in modern languages.
