SAY SOUTHERN MILL
WORERS STRIKE.MINDED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. (UP).
The threat of strikes was in the
air today, causing concern to fed
eral officials who are attempting
to lead the nation into business
revival this fall.
Textile workers, numbering
more than 600, 600 in many parts
of the country, already have been
authorized to strike on or before
September /. President Roose-
welt, according to Thomas +. Nc.
Mahon, president of the United
Textile Workers of America, is
the only man who can prevent
the walkout.
Hours and wages are the chief
issues. Sentiment in southern
textile mills is said to be strong
| for a strike, while New England
employees are less enthusiastic,
but willing to 90 out.
Mr.. Roosevelt. Recovery Ad.
ministrator Hugh S. Johnson and
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins are watching develop aents,
but none of them is willing to
act yet. Reports reaching the
capital are to the effect that
textile manufacturers, already
overstocked, are ready to close
their mills in event OF a strike.
Violence has broken out in
Chicago where strike breakers
are operating the city's buses.
Strike leaders are trying to per,
suade street car and elevated
train employees to Join them.
In Minneapolis striking truck
drivers demanded that Governor
Floyd B. Olson withdraw national
iguardsmen and allow resumption
of picketing.
Milk producers around Fort
Worth, Texas, have attempted to
blockade creameries and force
prices UP. Two truck loads OF
milk already have been dumped.

Death Mourned
At Capital; Had
Held Firm Rule
Was Key Man Who Jam.
med New Deal Legisla-
ton Through House

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. (UP)
The Roosevelt administration lost
one of its most faithful congress
sional servants in Speaker of the
House Henry T. Rainey, whose
death was mourned here today.
Rainey literally Unanswered
showing through the house of the
entire new deal legislative slate,
both in the special and regular
sessions of the historic 73rd con-
gress. With an iron hand that
little bclied his gentle demeanor,
he kept the unwieldy Democratic
majority in line.
His death shocked Washington
from the White House to Capitol
corridors. He was a graceful fig
ure in every phase of the capitals
life, at banquets, dedications, and
in the legislative juggling that
went on in offices of senators and
congressman. He and the late
Nicholas Longworth were two OF
the most popular speakers in dec
AIDES.
Rainey's flowing black tie, his
old pipe, his silvery white hair,
were familiar sights. With the ex-
ception of the 9th congress ne
Ind been a member of the house
since 1908. 49,
His death carries acute polltl-
cal reverberations. 1t means an
out and out cat and dog fight be-
tween aspiring Democratic house
leaders for the speakership of the
next congress. Rainey himself
was only picked for the speaker
ship of the 73rd congress after
one of the bitterest party tussles
in years. He succeeded Vice Pres
ident John N. Garner.
Outstanding leaders in the fight
for the honor which Rainey's
death relinquished probably will
be Majority Leader Joseph w.
Byrns d., TENN; Rep. John Nc
Duffie d., Ala.), and Rep. Will
liam Bankhead 3D., Ala.)
McDuffie was defeated by Raj
ney for the speakership only ait,
er struggle which left fractional
feelings SO bitter that they were
only beginning to dissipate when
the 73rd congress adJocrned;;
Rainey's reelection, however, had
practically been assured.
Byrns is the next highest rank
ing Democrat, but there are prec'
edents for choice by the Demo
Gratis of another for the speaker
ship. Rep. Bertrand Smell, Repn,.'
N. Y, was chosen by the Repub'
licans for speaker after Nicholas
Longworth's death, instead OF
House Republican Floor Leader
John @. Tilson of Connecticut.
Rainey was one of the master
hands in securing congressional
approval of new deal legislation
He came in for criticism for or
dering much of the legislation
voted through with little commit
tee or house consideration. Re,
publicans continually charged that
few members knew what they
were voting on. Often they were
right. But the new deal legisla,
ton passed, and that was what
Rainey was after.

A new move aimed at RESTRICT
ing freedom of the press was seen
today by Senator Schall (R) of
Minnesota, in the proposed Fed
eral communications commission
proposed to Congress by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The commission would regulate
interstate communications. tele-
graph, radio and telephone, in
much the same manner that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
now regulates the railroads.
Censorship Seen
Schall, a consistent critic of
Roosevelt policies, issued state
ment which charged the Admin
istration with seeking news

"The newspapers of the
United States are about to
have tn EN- selves censored.
After battling for months to
force the Roosevelt Administra-
ton to guarantee freedom of
the press in the publishers
code they now find themselves
confronted with the very same
censorship by the demand Of
the President for a Federal

"Under such a commission
