on strike here with textile workers at
three other local plants, were rescued

dangerously before deputies could quell
the crowd. The strikers surrounded
the automobiles as they were leaving
the plant. The officials were threat
ened with strikers bearing clubs.
The Payne Mill was stilled late last

this plant was closed, as were the Bibb
Manufacturing Co.'S plant No. 2, the
Adams-Swirles Duck Mill and the At
lantic Cotton Mill.
No Accurate Figures.
The total of strikers today amounted
to several hundred, but there were
no accurate figures available. In
other parts of Georgia, where 1t is
estimated there are $1,000 textile
workers, preparations went forward
to heed the general strike call.

Approximately rs workers went
back to their jobs this morning at
the regular time, although some of
them were escorted inside the plant
by deputies armed with pistols and
blackjacks. There was no disturb
ance, but the strikers jeered the
workers and they replied.

At other mills in Macon where
the employees have walked out the
situation remained quiet, but tense.
About 125 workers walked into the

quickly quelled. Police were on duty.
This plant was closed yesterday and

Creel Remains Silent.
George Creel, wartime director of
propaganda, who also was swamped
by Sinclairs' total of more than 4o7,-

stand he would take in November.
But one of his chief supporters,

BY the Associated Press.
The Government appeared ready
today to launch neutral inquiry into
the issues behind the general cotton
textile strike as all hope of averting
the giant walkout vanished.
Still striving for quick peace,
Chairman Lloyd Garrison of the Ma
tional Industrial Relations Board
"Supreme Court" of labor disputes
had in mind the appointment of a
committee of three to explore the
conflict impartially and perhaps rec
ommend a solution.
Union leaders threatened to call
silk, woolen and rayon operatives out
"on the strike line" unless their en-
ployers met demands. This, they said,
would boost the grand total involved
from 425,000 to 725,000, including
union, non-union and unemployed
operatives, who would aid strikers.
Minimized by Management.
The estimates conf1icted sharply
with those Of management, which said
that In many mills none would walk
out, and the total would not amount
to beyond 10 or Is per cent.
A fresh hint that the silk workers
might be called out was given by
Francis j. German, chairman of the
United Textile Workers Strike Com
mittee.
The strike committee had asked for
conferences with employers In the silk
and woolen industries.
The order which called for cotton
textile workers to begin their strike
tomorrow night instructed silk,
woolen, rayon and synthetic yarn
workers to stand by.
German expected word today from
Peter Van Horn, chairman of the silk
code authority, and the silk strike ap-
parently hinged on the result of that
conversation.
Confer With Garrison.
After flashing the order for the
cotton struggle to begin at. 1f:30 pm
tomorrow, union leaders conferred
again late yesterday with Garrison.
Scat a later hour-did George A.
Sloan, head of the Cotton Textile In
stitute, who has declined to attend a
''round table" with union leaders
Yesterdays conferences came to
naught.
The strike committee emphasized
that the order sent yesterday included
not only cotton textile workers but all
workers employed under the cotton
textile code.
Garrison said sadly his board could
not report that any substantial prog
ress has been made toward settling
the strike"
Sloan, who disclosed he intended to
go back to New York, was asked
whether he hoped the strike could be
avoided:
'T suppose" he said, that every
citizen in America is hopeful the
strike won't take place"
The belief was that Garrison would
call on the Labor Department and the
N R. A. to furnish two members Of
the neutral Committee of Investiga-
ton, and that the Labor Board might
choose the other.
Prospects for direct intervention by
President Roosevelt appeared to have
faded, although it is known ne is
watching the conflict carefully.
His eyes bloodshot from lack of
sleep, German was told that some sec
tionS of the cotton mill area stretch
ing from Maine to Alabama fear vio-
