After a conference last night

details of the policy to be pursued
would be made public before the
Presidents message to Congress

DR.. McGill, a professor at Co.

by that institution to devote a
portion of his time to the Gov.

Personal and policy conflicts
which are resulting in designations
from the bureaus and agencies of
the New Deal are paving the way
to dissenSion in Democratic ranks
in Congress this winter.
During the last Congress, the
Democratic majority in the House
was able to function with a fair
degree of harmony, largely because
those who were at heart opposed
to New Deal experiments buried
their personal convictions and
went along with the party leaders.
But many of these Representa-
tives who sank their convictions
in behalf of party harmony did
SO under the compulsion of a
harmonious functioning of the
party and it's appointees in the
executive branch of the Govern
ment.
Executive Unity Cited
Members Of the House who were
inclined to dissent were told that
they would be guilty of the most
gross betrayal of party if they got
out of step. They were told that
the executive branch was function
ing as one man in the interest of
the party and of the country.
Such arguments had a Salutary
effect in the last Congress.

Violence Flares on Wide Front
As Mediation Board
Prepares to Meet
BY International News Service

Open warfare between strikers
and nonstrikers famed in the
South today as the general textile
strike frightened it's grip on the
nations industrial areas and the
death toll of riots rose to 10.
Six strike pickets were killed at
Honea Path, S. c., and nearly a
score more were wounded, several
seriously, when loyal workers Of
the Chiquola mill opened fire on
a picket line seeking to prevent
the day shift starting work.
Clubbing fiercely, the pickets
charged the workers who refused
to join the strike. Most of the
latter had been deputized and
opened fire with shotguns and pis-
tolls. When the bloody outbreak
ended the ground near the mill
was studded with dead and dying.
Deputy Kills Picket
At Greenville, S. c., strike
picket was shot and killed at the
Duncan mill by deputy sheriff
who claimed self-defense.
Riots in Georgia Swelled the
death list. A strike picket died at
Augusta following a flareup there
last night. At Trion, Ga, a
deputy and a picket were killed
in a clash between strikers and
nonStrikers.
Ironically, the war in the South
reached its bitterest as the Spe-
cial three-man mediation board
named by President Roosevelt
to seek a peaceful settlement of
the strike. prepared to hold its
first meeting in Washington.
Governor John G. Winant, of
New Hampshire, chairman of the
Presidential Noard, announced at
Concord he will fly to the Capital
to meet with Marion Smith, At

Brooklyn, N. Y, to canvass strike
causes and recommend a plan
for settlement.

Sloan Hits Rioters
In New York, George A. Sloan,
head of the Cotton Textile Insti-
tute and chairman of the Cotton
Textile Code Authority, described
the 10 strike deaths as "a needless
sacrifice in the conflict over the
inalienable right to work."
Mr.. Sloan held out no hope for
immediate cessation of the strike,
saying:
"It is Enthusiastically clear the
great majority of employees in
this industry wish to continue
to work. Widespread terrorism
threatens that right.
"Will constituted authorities
permit a IawIeSs group to set up

and the freedom of the average
