Carolina Strike
Situation Tense
After Early Raid

GASTONIA, N. c., April 1S.-tP)
Strike headquarters of the Ma
tional Textile Workers union, from
which union organizers have been
directing a strike at the Loray
mill, was demolished today by a
band of masked men.
A relief store, established by the
union next door to the headquar-
ters building, also was destroyed.
So far as could be learned, no
body was injured, although reports
told of several fist fights and the
firing of scattered shots.
County and national guard Off
GERS, who are guarding the mill
property, said they had no clues as
to the perpetrators. Union leaders,
including Fred Erwin Beal, organ
izer for the National Textile Work
erS' union, who called the strike and
who has been directing it, and Geo.
Pershing, staff employee Of the
Daily Worker, New York commun-
ist organ, could not be located.
Persons who saw the crowd of
men make kindling wood of the
two buildings said they numbered
several hundred. All wore white
masks.
The strike at the Loray mill,
owned and operated by the Man
ville-Jenckes company of Paw
tucket, r. T.. was called three weeks
ago. On the first day disorders,
which threatened to turn into Sc
rious riots, caused national guards
men to be ordered to the scene.
The attack started without warn
ing about 2 a. m. The headquar-
ters building and the grocery store
were located just off the property
Of the mill company. National
guardsmen at the Loray mill five
blocks distant were awakened by
the crash of axes and hammers,
breaking plate glass windows in the
store and hacking down walls of
the headquarters.
For a short time after the attack
started the guardsnen could not
locate the trouble. A number OF
shots were fired about the mill, ap-
parently to give the alarm.
Major Paul r. YountS. executive
officer, and Captain z. c. Boyette
Jr., commanding the Hornets Nest
riflemen, were the first officers to
reach the scene. They sent an ur-
gent call for guardsmen to Major S
B. Dolly, in command of the troops
Ten persons who said they were
sleeping in the union headquarters
at the time of the attack were ar
rested by the troops. Later three
others were arrested, but two soon
were released.
