day by settlement by the cotton
textile national industrial rela-
tions board. and the mill will re-
sumo next Monday on basis OF
two shifts. The management
agrees further to put the mill IN

The decision rendered in the

! of Tennessee, had been called
upon to proclaim a code or plan
of settlement. and in this instance
does so.
Before full announcement was
made of the settlement, all par
ties had signed an agreement to
back it up. Acting for the Cleve-
land Cloth mill were former Gov
ernor o. Max Gardner, president,
and o. NJ. Null, vice president
and secretary-treasurer. while the
following represented the strik-
ers: George Goode. representing
the American Federation of La
Dor in the South; P. r. Christie
pher, c.. NJ. Fox, C. w. Blalock,
organizer of the textile union
workers, Fred Center, John Green
and ]. N. Veal.
RULINGS SUSTAINED
The national board voted unan-
imously to sustain the following
rulings of the state board made
March 1928, which yesterday
were accepted by the labor rep
resentatives:
"That the employees who were
working on the last day of mill
operation be placed in employ
ment as rapidly as work is avail
able.
"That all other former en-
ployes be re-employed as nearly
as possible in their original status
as rapidly as work is available.
"That pending the decision of
the national cotton textile indus
trial relations board on complaints
filed in behalf of three employees
who were dicharged and concern
/ ing whom appeals to the state
board are now under considera-
ton. these men shall be not re-
employed until such action is di-
rected by the state or national
board. In the event of such re-
] instatement, the men shall be
compensated for the time lost. it
being understood that this time
shall be only that of actual mill
operations"
"The North Carolina state cot
ton textile industrial relations
board is without power to compel
or request the management OF
the Cleveland Cloth mill to accept
and sign an agreement such as
now proposed and decline to Or
der the execution of such docu-
ment."
The concluding portion Of the
text of the ruling reads:
"The cotton textile national IN
dustrial relations board further
calls the attention of the parties
to its determination of February
Is 1884. on presentation by the
cotton textile state industrial re-
lations board for North Carolina
acting as a fact finding body OF
an unadiusted controversy in the
cleveland Cloth mill and more
particularly to the following rec
concentration embodied in that
determination:
"For these and related reasons
the national board recommends
that all details of the subject IN
controversy not explicitly covered
bv this determination shall be
dealt with in friendly conference
bv the mill committee and that
comprehensive report be present
ed to the chairman of the cotton
textile state industrial relations
board for North Carolina and to
this board a month from TINS
date"
"In view of the fact that the
Cleveland Cloth mill continued IN
full operation only one week be-
tween the date of the determine
ton of February Is and the de-
yelopment of the controversy un-
der review, the cotton textile ma
tionaI industrial relations board
renews recommendations with the
further stipulation that the COM
prehensive report therein referred
TO shall be presented to the cot
ton textile national industrial re-
lations board at the expiration of
one month from the date of this
determination. namely March 20.
1884. 1t must be understood that
this recommendation refers only
to the subjects under review, on
February Is and during the hear
ings preceding this determination
of March 20, 1884. and that any
controversy that may arise be-
tween the employer and the EN-
ployes over any other problem of
working conditions than those
covered by the determinations of
February Is and March 20, 1884,
shall be dealt with under the pro-
cedures provided by Section II Of
the cotton textile code.
