Labor and capital mobilized their
forces today as the strife-torn textile
belt became the battle-ground for what
some expected to be q fight to the fin
ish between industry and the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
The opinion was expressed by both
mill owners and labor that the strike
has transcribed the bounds Of sin
gle industry and become a decisive
test of union strength under the ma
tional recovery act.
The Strike Committee conferred
with the Presidents Mediation Board
for three hours today, but union lead
ers said afterward no new avenues
toward settlement had been found.
The conference was merely q con-
tinuance of our policy Of full coop
Grafton with the board" Francis J.
German, chairman, said.
Some cotton min owners, who have
rejected the arbitration services Of
the President's Mediation Board, said
privately that pressure has been

William Green, president Of the

recognized the present strike as highly
signifcAnt to the labor movement
and has ordered Ill aflliated groups,
State declarations, and city central
organisations. to provide at once
every assistance TO the striking tex

''This struggle" he said. "is Of such
immense Importance that ali organ

abuses in the Nations textile mills,
out Of which this tremendous pro-
test has grown"
The textile strike win be placed
before the American Federation OF
Labor next month at its annual
meeting In San Francisco. Repre-
sentatives Of the 108 international
and national af1iliates will be asked
to devise means Of providing aid, In
cmding financial assistance, for the
idle mill workers.
The strike was interpreted Is "a
challenge to organized government"
by Robert L. Lund, president Of the
National Association Of Manufac-
turers.
"If an organised minority" Lund
said, through what amounts to open
revolt can compel revision Of laws
while demanding support from gov

The textile strike also promises an
early show down on the administra-

It has been denounced by Henry I.

and other employer organizations, as
tending to encourage Industrial unrest
