Sloan Is Silent.
George A. Sloan. president Of the
Cotton Textile Institute, withheld
comment.
Asked whether the operators would
take back the strikers without dis
elimination" as requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, he said he would
speak for the industrialists when he
knew their views.
He cited his Friday night statement,
dent is fully justified in his belief
that this industry will give most sin
cere consideration to any program
which he proposes"
Cotton mill executives in the South,
he said he was informed, have read
only the newspaper summaries OF the
Winant report. Upon learning this,
he added, he sent them the full text
OF the report but with the industry
operating on a five-day week, nearly
all of the mills were closed.
Consequently. it will be Monday,
Sloan said, before two-thirds Of the
mills of the industry see the Winant
report text.
He called this an unfortunate sit
uation.

Gov. j. B. Ehringhaus Of North

be returned home as rapidly as condi-
tions would permit.
Gov. Ibra Blackwood Of South Caro-

Southern strike front, likewise ex-
pressed qualification, said the strike
should be a lesson, but added that
troops would remain on duty until
there IS an assurance that peace and

Battle Is Avoided.
Something like a modern battle
OF New Orleans appeared to impend
for a time yesterday afternoon as
| 5000 strikers from Roanoke Rapids,
N. c., invaded nearby Weldon, where
defections from the strike had been
reported. but strike lines there were
found holding fast pending word from
Washington and no trouble was de-
veloped.
In Charlotte. R. r. Lawrence, pres
ident of the State Federation of Labor,
issued a statement congratulating the
textile union members Of the State and
warning mill owners that abuses al
legged prior to the strike would never
be permitted again.
The Cramerton Mills, in CASTOR
County, with $4,000 spindles, jumped
the gun and reopened today. which is
usually a holiday. officials said 500
were at work and the force would have
been complete had all employees known
of the plan. The opening was without
the presence of National Guardsmen
or special officers.
A notice was posted saying no dis
elimination would be practiced against
any one returning to work.
