AGENTS
OPEN OFFICE HERE
Strike Committee Says
Next Move Up to Govern

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Strike Committee set up by the
United Textile Workers of America
to call a general strike in the cotton
textile industry on or before Septem-
Der / opened headquarters here today
and asserted the next move must
come from the industry or the ad-
miniStration.
Francis ]. German, vice president
of the union and chairman of the
Strike Committee, said labor planned
to make no overtures either to the
industry or administrative agencies,
but was willing to attend any con-
ferences to which it might be invited
I'VE have never obtained anything
out of conferences yet" German said,
"and conditions among the workers
are worse now than they were when
q strike was called of last June"
To Confer with Green.
German said he planned to confer
late today or tomorrow with William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, to request all
cooperation possible from the fedora
ton.
He added that he would request
financial support and hoped to bor-
row a number of trained organizers
from the federation to assist in direct
ing the strike. These trained men,
he said, would assist and direct the
U. T. WIS own staff of organizers.
The full report of the A. F. Of L.
has been promised already by Green.
Meanwhile, administration officials
proceeded cautiously in an attempt to
work out a plan by which the general
walkout might be averted.
Hold Meeting Wednesday.
Robert Bruere said today he had
called a meeting of the Cotton Textile
Industrial Relations Board, of which
he is chairman, for Wednesday. He
already has conferred with Lloyd Gar
rison, chairman of the new National
Industrial Relations Board. on the
general textile situation, which threat
ems to involve more than 750,0 900 work.

rayon and woolen and worsted in
dustries.
Members of the Strike Committee
expressed pleasure at the statement
by the Emergency Relief Administra-
ton that the striking workers would
be fed if necessary. Mill workers now
on strike in Alabama have received
"fine cooperation" from relief agen-
cies there, German said.
While the administration hoped to
effect some form of settlement before
the strike actually is called, reports
from manufacturers indicated the
industry was not disposed to make
concessions and was prepared for the
conflict threatened by the strike vote
in New York last week.

Everyday Psychology
The Thinker.
By DR.. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

You have. of course. seen some one
of the various representations of "the
thinker" The usual representation
portrays a definite attitude of the
whole body-a state of inaction. The
eyes are directed downward. At the
same time, they are focused on some
particular spot in vacant space. as il
the desired idea might come along at
almost any moment.
This attitude is interesting. II
really represents state of mind that
tending to-; an attending from" a
great many things in order to at
tend to" one thing.
Suppose the thinker is an executive
officer of some sort. whose business Is
to try to settle perplexing problems on
short notice. He sometimes goes to or
draws his chair toward the window,
In thus attending from" everything
else. he is able to attend to" one
thing. I know a member of the House
of Representatives who, being con-
fined to an office which has no ex-
pansive outlook from its windows, will
pace the floor as if studying some
imaginary configurations on the un-
conf1gurated floor covering.
I know an executive officer who in
variably squints one eye as he thinks
If his problem is unusually perplexine
he will close both eyes. That's his
way of shutting of the world while
he attends to one thing. And, of
course, you have all talked with the
man who draws meaningless pictures
or writes meaningless words as he
thinks with you.
