Martial Law?
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 19.-
State Attorney General L. D. Smith
delivered an opinion yesterday to
Governor Horton that the governor
may declare martial law and en-
force all the rules of war at Eliza
bethton, Tenn, where the rayon mill
strikes are in progress.
1t was learned also that the gov
ernor has sent Captains Tom P.
Henderson and John L. Neely to
Elizabethton to determine whether
martial law "is necessity"
Good Won't Interfere.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Secre-
tary of War Good, on being in
formed that the uniforms and
equipment of the National Guard of
Tennessee are being illegally en-
ployed for the crushing of the rayon
strike in Elizabethton, expressed Of
ficial surprise, but stated that he
would 90 nothing unless charges
were made by somebody on the
ground, after which, he intimated,
he might, at his convenience, make
some inquiries himself.
Recruit Scabs.
The militia, in full uniform and
with all their warlike weapons, are
"deputized" by the sheriff in Eliza
bethton, and are actually function
ing as armed strikebreakers, break
ing up picket lines by force and vio-
lcnce, and recruiting scabs for the
mills.
The national defense act provides
the federal government shall issue
uniforms and equipment to states in
exchange for the organization of the
national guard available for federal
use in time of emergency. This
equipment, it was said, properly
could be used by guardsmen only so
long as they remained guardsmen

Help Each Other.
The issue which the association
makes Of piece-work, the statement
continues, is put up in order to give
the company union which it aids
and supports the opportunity to
build up sentiment for the fake
stoppage which it plans.
"The association is interested at
this time in but one thing, and that
is to build up it's membership. And
this it can accomplish by helping
the company union pull off its fake
stoppage. During the past two
years the association lost many of
its members, and they know that
unless the company union aids them
in their drive, their fate will be the
same as the Dress Manufacturers
Association. They, on the other
hand, are interested in building up
the l. L. G. w. company union, for
that means perpetuating the open
shop"
For Real Strike.
The statement concludes by say
ing that the cloakmakers, under the
leadership of the Needle Workers
Industrial Union, are preparing for
a real general strike which will abol-
ish the sweat shop, and establish
union conditions in the industry,
which will include the 40-hour, 5-day
week, a guarantee of at least a
36-week work year, pay for lega:
holidays, and for the complete con-
troll by the union of contracting.

 Want Rev. Carl Fuchs HAS BEEN SERVING HERE
Has Won Devotion Of Local Church. eoers While Substituting for Rev. Charles COppens - ParishiOners Seek to Influence Bishop Milan.

Although no definite action has been taken, plans are being made by leaders among the German and French parishioners of St. Peter's church 10 prevail upon Rt. Rev John J. Milan, bishop of Hartford. 10 assign Rev Carl Fuchs of the La Sallette order of Hartford as pastor of the church.
 Rev. Father Fuchs has been the acting pastor for several months and with the assistance of Rev Daniel MaSse of the La Sallette order has administered parish affairs while the late Rev. Charles Coppens was ill. Questioned today, Philip C. Bar deck. a trustee of the church, said the people of the parish have be- come devoted to Father Fuchs and If he were made pastor it would be q popular move. However, it IS doubtful if petitions would gain the desired purpose. but if the bishop can be prevailed upon in any other way it IS expected that the other method will be adopted. he said.
 Father Fuchs is very popular with parishioners and many have express ed hope that he will be obtained as head of the parish.

Plea for Longer Bed Sheets to
 Help Demand for Cotton Cloth

the commerce department refused today to condemn her.
 What the textile trade has lost in women's custom it has more than gained by the large demand for cot ton in automobile and tire construc- ton. During 1928, according to figures of the Rubber Association of America, motor car and tire makers consumed 70O,000 bales of cotton, or one-tenth of Americas crop.
 Yesteryear's ginghams and caIicos have given way to smart cotton ma terials which textile makers are now featuring to compete with other fa abrics.
 Masculine Americas s age old plaint against too short bed sheets has found sympathetic hearing with the cotton men. Such coverlets used to vary between 90 and Joe inches. Now, as the result of 2 campaign for covers long enough to hide the tallest man from head to toe. they have been heightened to 10S inches.

l Washington. April o5 UP)-A plea for longer bed sheets, for the adoption of fabric traffic markers OF city streets. and for the increased
 use of cotton in milady's wardrobe | is being made by the textile manu- lecturers in their effort to retrieve l the prosperity which has slipped iaway from the industry during the
 last decade. it was learned at the commerce department today.
 The efforts of the cotton interests to overcome the fierce competition
 of silk and rayOn seems to be achiev- ] ing success. ii was said. At the end of 1928, 3,o69.792 of the 35.359,956 spindles in America had hummed l husily at least part of the year. And l the prospects for 1929 are even brighter.
 | The American wonan's unfaithfui-
 ness to southern cotton during the
 last decade when she had been clad
 almost exclusively in Japanese silks
 or rayon is often blamed for the tex
 tile industry's trouble. However.
