WASHINGTON, Sept. s.
The textile strike shaped to-
day toward the mightiest test
of the opposing forces Of cap
ital and labor the nation ever
has seen.
President William Green
called on heads of unions
marshalling 100000 mem
bers to meet with him and
throw full moral and financial
support behind the cause Of
the textile strikers.
Chairman George A. Sloan of the
Cotton Textile Institute said
significantly:
They'll need it"
All along the struggling 1,50O-mlle
strike front new crises seemed to
impend.
Meeting Is Called
Mr.. Green asked the president Of
all international unions to meet
with him here next week. He said
there was no prospect Of a general
strike, but that the textile strike
must be carried to a successful con-
clusion."
A war chest of possibly $40, 100000
may be placed at the disposal OF
strike leaders. Financial support is
imperative because the United Tex
tile workers went into the fray with
less than $1,0O0,000 in their treasury.
The presidential mediation board
headed by Governor John G. Win
ant of New Hampshire, thus. found
battle lines tightening as it settled
down for rapid survey OF the sit
uation.
Conferences today with Francis
J. German, strike leader, and tech
nical experts of the department OF
labor were planned. Sloan who con-
ferred until long after midnight
with the board will return Monday
with other members of the textile
| institute.
No Proposal Submitted
No peace proposal has yet been
submitted Governor Winant and
Sloan declared. The effort so far
has been to obtain a picture Of the
situation in the industry before and
after establishment Of the MIRA
code.
Today South Carolina appeared
the principal danger area.
Governor Ibra G. Blackwood Of
South Carolina issued a proclama-
ton placing his state under partial
marital law. Every national guards
man available is on duty to enforce
the edict which has interpreted to
ban picketing.
First test of the law which COM
mandS "all persons taking part in
unlawful asSemblages to disperSe
and retire to their homes by noon
Saturday" may come at tiny Honea
Path where the funeral of five of
the six workers shot down by Spe-
cial guards is scheduled today.

NEGRO DEMOCRAT
 FOR CONGRESS
First Democrat in History to Win Seat-Defeated
 Oscar DePriest

Washington, Nov 7.-(UP)-A. w. Mitchell of Chicago is the first negro democrat ever elected to congress.
 His congressional debut recalls that of Oscar DePriest, the negro republican whom he defeated. De- priest encountered difficulties as soon as he was elected in 1929. Before he was seated, some mem bers even discussed opposing his admission. Speaker Nicholas Longworth helped forestall the issue when he abandoned prece- dent and swore the entire house in body. Previously 1t had been the custom to swear members by state delegations.
 DePriest became the champion of his race in congress. At the last session he fought bitterly against discrimination in the house restaurant after walters there re- fused to serve negro patrons. While unable to alter this custom, De- Priest did succeed in having a pro- vision written into the appropria- ton bills which prevented meeting deficits from operation of the sen- ate and house restaurants from taxpayers money.
 Mitchell's position probably will be more difficult than that of De- Priest. As democrat, he will be obliged to sit beside southern mem bers, many of whom are from states where negroes are barred from party primaries.

SUMMER HOME OF
 DUBOIS BURNED
Jewelry Salesman Who Did Murder and Took
 His Own Life

Plymouth, Mass, Nov. 7-UP) The summer home on nearby Great Herring Pond of Charles Dubois, Tuckahoe, N. Y., jewelry salesman who committed suicide after staying his wife, was swept by ire this afternoon.
 The cottage, surrounded by tow ering pines, was the scene of one of the most gruesome murders in Massachusetts history.
 Dubois, in love with another woman, shot his wife to death in 1892 and then inferred her body in a cement crypt in the cellar of the cottage. He was arrested but later released because authorities could not produce the corpus de- hcti.
 State policeS national guards men and volunteers searched the grounds and dragged Herring pond for the body unsuccessfully. Only few hours before Mrs Dubois body was discovered under a cement platform built to hold washing machine, Dubois committed suicide in Quincy lodging house.
 The fire was believed out Of control, and firemen from Ply mouth and Sagamore concentrated their efforts on preventing It's spread to adjoining dwellings.
 The cottage was valued at $S'- 900.

GREATEST OF ALL
 VICTORIES FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Everywhere the New Deal Was Given Support
 of the Citizens
BY LYLE c. WILSON

| United Press Stan Correspondent The democratic party today eel ebrated the greatest political vic-8 tory in its history after an elec-s toral whirlwind had relegated re- publicans to their weakest position since the Civil War. The democratic gains broke ths8 back of republican opposition in the senate and maintained an overwhelming democratic majority in the house.
 Reed of Pennsylvania and Fess of Ohio fell early in the senate storm. Joseph F. Guffey today be- came the first democrat elected to the senate from Pennsylvania since 1875. His New Deal victory some what retrieved the loss of 1882 when Herbert c. Hoover carried Pennsylvania against Franklin n. Roosevelt. Vic Donahey defeated Fess.
 Striking on the Atlantic coast and reaching far inland, the demo- cratic tide swept seven republican, senate seats by sun-up and was moving on three more.
 Robinson and Fess Out
 Robinson of Indiana, like Fess an anti-New Dealer, lost to Sher- man Minton, who thumped New Deal drum.
 At best the republicans can re- tain but 27 senate seats against ST or 6S for the democrats and one or two for minor parties.

Initiation And Bonus Again Before Nation
Democrat Victory Seems to Have Given Them New Life-Feelings of New Timber Are Unknown
 as Regards Payment of Bonus

New York, Nov. 7-(UP)+Con- gressional currency imitation senti- ent appeared to be swelling today as the democrats increased their senate strength and maintained a top heavy majority in the house. The bulk of imitation enthusiasm Is expected to be discovered ulti- mately in the veterans sbonus bloc which Is pledged to spend $2,000,- 900, ,000 to pay adjusted service compensation certificates.
 Many reelected senators and representatives as well as candi- dates successful for the first time this year draw fine distinction between currency imitation and cashing the certificates.
 But expenditure of $2,000,0O0,- 900 for that purpose, in the opin- ion of economists, would be tanta- mount to just so much imitation the simon pure currency infiationists, the silver bloc and others interest ed in currency tampering appeared to be coming through the election safely.
 Rep. Wright Patman, D., was re- turned by his Texas constituency to continue leadership of the bonus bloc.
