hind the general cotton textile
strike as all hopes of averting
giant walkout vanished. The strike
der was issued effective at .1-3l

Still striving for quick peace
Chairman Lloyd Garrison, of the

a committee of three to explore the
conflict impartially and perhaps
recommend a solution.
Second Threat
Union leaders threatened to call
the silk, wooden and rayon opera
tors from their factories on a gen.
eral strike unless employers meet
the demands. If the three Or
CARNATIONS walk out with the cot
ton textile workers, this will swell
the grand total of those on strike
to more than 100000 including
non-union unemployed operatives
who would aid the strikers.
What Strike Is About
MIRA is the center of the fight.
The Union demands, under the
Recovery Act, the right to repre-
sent labor in collective bargaining.
The operators say they cannot
see where it is representative
Union.
The Union asks a 30-hour week
with 40-hour pay and also that
discrimination against union MEM

The manufacturers have refused
to arbitrate saying they cannot in
