BY FRANCIS ]. GORMAN.

The textile workers even five years
ago had to produce 50 in value for
every dollar they got in wages; and
both machinery and stretch-outs have
improved remarkably since that time.
The year 1929 is good one to take
for comparisons. No such enormous
profits were made by the textile in
dustry that marked the war years,
when all the mills in Philadelphia
averaged net profits ranging from 95
to lit per cent on their total invest
ment. But 1929 was the last of the
good" years, and affected only slightly
by the depression.
The United States Government, in
its census of manufactures, taken
every other year, lists % industries in
the textile group. In 1929, this group
employed on the average, 1,057 ,997.
Their total wages came to $1,015, 1885,
900.
The value added by manufacture
that is, by the work of these employees
is given by the Government at ST.
118,845 900.
In other words, out of each dollar
added to the value of textiles by mill
work, between 81 and 50 cents went
to the manufacturer and between 48
and 49 cents went to the workers. The
total output of all textile factories that
year is valued by the Government at
$5,014, ,915 900. A shade over 20 per
cent of this went to labor; the rest
went to raw materials. profits and
capital charges.
And, as said before, capital un-
doubtedly gets more of each dollar
now and labor gets less than in 1929
Is it any wonder that textile workers
| think the deal unfair?

WIDESPREAD STRIKE
IN SPOKANE DOUBTED
Teamsters' Union Only One to
Take Sympathetic Attitude on
Railway Walkout.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPOKANE, Wash. September S.
The likelihood of a widespread union
walkout in sympathy with the street
car operators strike appeared remote
today.
Only one union-the teamsters'-
met last night and voted to provide
financial and moral support for the
Spokane United Railways operators,
who walked out eight days ago de-
manding that the company reinstate
men discharged purportedly for union
activity and increase by 10 per cent
the wage scale of 59l2 cents an

Iext of Appeal to President
National Labor Board Chairman Says Unit Should
Not Be Placed in Position of Mediator
in Suggesting Intervention.

arate conferences were held with rep
resentativeS of the Cotton Textile In
stitute and the union. In these con-
ferences the board made every pos
sible effort to find some formula for
avoiding the strike, but without sue
cess.
las a matter of policy we doubt the
wisdom of the boards acting as
mediator in this or any other strike
situation. Mediation is frequently car
ried on by the regional labor boards,
which are under the jurisdiction of
this board, but it has been our con-
viction that the purposes of public
resolution A and the executive order
establishing this board could best be
served If the board kept itself clear
of mediation activities. 1t is evident
that the public resolution and the
executive order intended our board to
serve as quasi-court for interpreting
in terms of particular cases the mean
ing and intent of section z (a).
emi-Judicial Body.
"As a semi judicial body 1t is de-
sirsble that We be as far removed as
possible from direct participation in
controversies over some aspects OF
which we may at later date be
asked to sit in Judgment. The board
ought not TO be placed in q position
which might hamper respect for its
judicial activities and hinder its ef-
fectiveness as body for building UP
public opinion in support of dis
interested interpretations of the law
1t is true that under the public reso-
luton and the executive order the
board is authorized to investigate
issues in controversies which are
burdening Interstate commerce, but
in our judgment this power should be
exercised sparingly, and rather for
the purpose of ascertaining the facts
prior to strike situation, than for
the purpose of settling it after it has
occurred.
In difference to the important
function which We have been created
by you to discharge, we believe that
the public interest would best bs
served by our immediate withdrawal
from further mediation efforts in the
textile strike. From our knowledge
Of the situation we are satisfied that
mediation looking toward a termina-
tion of the strike can best 60 for
ward by your creating a special board
under public resolution A, with full
authority to investigate the causes of
the strike and to propose a just basis
of settlement.
"We shall be glad to assist such a
board in whatever ways seem appro-
pirate and in conformity with the
general purposes which it is our duty
under the statute and the executive
order to discharge"

nounced that the members of the
association would shut down all their
plants throughout the city, bringing
the entire textile industry in Fall
River to a complete standstill.
Frank Schweitzer, secretary treas
urer OF the American Federation of
Silk Workers and chairman of the
Silk Strike Committee, said today that
the walkout in the silk industry had
been 80 per cent effective.
In the Carolinas, additional work.
ers were reported out and mills shut
down, bringing the total idle in the
two States to 10000.
Additional shutdowns were reported
from Georgia and Alabama caused by
disorders at mills.
Kean Asks Mediation.
Before Mr.. Roosevelt announced his
mediation board plans, Senator Ham
ilton F. Kean, Republican, of New
Jersey sent telegram to the Sum-
mer White House at Hyde Park, say
ing:
ITO relieve the distress which must
necessarily come from a long differ
ence of opinion between laborer and
his employer in the textile industry.
would respectfully suggest that you
appoint committee to arbitrate with
the hope of settling this dispute be-
tween labor and employer"
German asserted 100000 operatives
had walked out.
Sloan said his reports from cotton
mills employing 346, 900 of the 100000
on the industrys pay rool, showed
$4,000 had gone on strike, or 27 per
cent. German, in disputing Sloans
estimate, asserted that the plain
fact is that this is the most effective
strike America has been in years.
Three hundred thousand textile
workers are out to stay" he added.
fNearly two-thirds of the industry
Is down. More thousands will come
out
Union members responded to the
strike call to a man." German said
IN radio address, "the unorganized
workers are following the union lead
ership throughout the whole textile
area. The unorganized, many of them
hitherto afraid to take their stand,
know that their hope lies in the
union"
Sloan Issues Plea.
Sloan, also over the radio, urged the
textile workers to stay on the job.
Saying he believed they would
agree they were receiving more work
and more money per week under the
code than before and that conditions
in their communities had benefited.
he added
Don't you think that it would be
fair to stay at work and let the code
and its machinery continue to func-
ton in lawful and orderly manner
for national recovery"
Sloan said he had received reports
Of ''motorcades and flying squadrons
going from mill to mill and locality
to locality, trying to, impose their will
upon those who are exercising their
right to continue to work" @
The mills, he added, will close
rather than expose their employees to
violence and injury.
German replied the textile workers
have been going deeper and deeper
into the red"

BOSTON, September P.-The
general textile strike apparently was
gaining headway in New England to-
day, with the most rapid and violent
growth reported from Fall River, one
of the industry's largest centers.
It was shortly before midnight last
night, quitting time for the late night
shifts at the Pepperell Co.'S plant,
when Fall Rivers most serious out
break occurred.
Three hundred workers had just
completed their tour of duty, crowd
Of 10000 had congregated outside.
Shot Rings Out.
A shot rang out, police threw tear
gas bombs into the crowd and the
workers were loaded aboard cars,
which sped through the gates as the
crowd dispersed with tear-stained
eyes.
A hail Of rocks was thrown after
the fleeing cars and nearby store
windows were broken as the crowd
plunged from the scene.
The shot had been fired in the air
by one of the so policemen on duty
at the mill gates.
One arrest was made. Francisco
Carvalho Of Fall River was held on q
rioting charge.
The late hours last night also saw
trouble at New Bedford, where work
er was attacked, badly beaten, rescued
by police and taken to a hospital. He
was Joaquin Silvia, 40, of New Bed
ford, victim, police said, of crowd
that surrounded the Goodyear Fabric
Mill as the night shift finished Their
duties.
A gas bomb, thrown by police, dis
persed the crowd of between 5000 ano
5000 that surrounded the Goodyear
plant.

HYDE PARK. N. Y, September S.
The text of the letter by Lloyd K.
Garrison, chairman of the National
Labor Board, asking President Roose-
velt's intervention in the textile strike
| follows:
This board, as you know, has tried
| through mediation to avert the textile
strike. We wish to report the cir
cumstances which brought us into
the situation, the steps which we took
| in endeavoring to avert the strike and
our recommendations for course OF
| action which we hope may bring
about a prompt and just settlement
of the controversy.
lone of the duties imposed upon
the board by the executive order
which created it is study OF the
work of industrial relations boards
established under the codes. Be-
cause of complaints made to us that
the machinery for handling viola
tions. of section Z (A) in the cotton
| textile industry was inadequate, We
gave special attention to this matter.
During the past month we sought
by conferences with the Cotton Tex
! tile National Industrial Relations
Board, the code authority. members
| of the Cotton Textile Institute and
officials of the United Textile Work
ers' Union, to establish agreement
upon a procedure which would pro-
vide more adequate handling Of (A)
cases in the cotton textile industry.
In the course of these discussions 1t
became apparent that no action
which our board might take with
respect to these cases would in itself
prevent the strike. The board con-
cluded, therefore, that nothing would
be gained by any final action on its
part until the strike was either averted
or terminated.
Role of Mediator.
"Our inquiries and discussions in
connection with the (A) cases
merged into the causes of the present
strike, one of which is the handling
of these cases. These circumstances
| led us inevitably into the role Of
mediator, particularly since the offer
Of the Cotton Textile National Indus
trial Relations Board to mediate had
been rejected by the union. The re-
| lection occurred last Friday, August
"a, and the union requested our
! board to act.
THE board Immediately called in
the union committee and conferred
with it throughout the week end. On
Monday the board dispatched invi-
tations to the Cotton Textile Institute,
the Cotton Textile National Industrial
Relations Board and the union COM
mitteeS to attend a round-table con-
] ference. On Wednesday the president
| of the Cotton Textile Institute de-
| clined the invitation.
