The big push" of the Southern
textile mill owners, which included
the establishment of martial law in
Georgia, the internment of 1913 strik-

Point, the setting up of a drum

Paul Crouch, Communist Party or

his subsequent arrest in Charlotte

flop.
The strikers in the Southland

employers claim that mine mills

Picket lines held forth in face Of
fixed bayonets and machine guns in

Down in Belmont the Hatch

The presence of a specially trained

automatic rifles and the latest type
of gas bombs was no more effec-

when pickets surrounded and iso-

patient to leave the mills for the
picket lines, Francis j. German,

the dyers the rayon synthetic yarn
makers, the carpet and rug makers,
and others in allied textile trades,
will be called out either late today
or tomorrow.
This victory Of a determined and
desperate rank and file over the
hesitant and conciliatory A. F. of L.
strike leadership recalls earlier
strike calls. 1t means that about
10000 additional workers will /
stream into the picket lines.
The dyers, who will strengthen
the strike lines enormously be-
cause of their vitality strategic po-
sition in the industry, total, accord

10000, the rayon synthetic yarn
workers about $4,000, and the car

Germans announcement of his
capitulation to the general strike

GAP IN HISTORY
IS TO Be BR|DGED
Catholic University Starts
Division of Ancient and
Medieval EraS.
BY JAMES WALDO FAwCETT.

The latest development in the ex-
banding cultural life OF washington
is an innovation established at the
Catholic University of America which
may have revolutionary influence on
the teaching Of history.
In effect, the university authorities
have decided to bridge the gap which
traditionally has existed between the
ancient and the medieval divisions of
historical science. There was, during
the Byzantine period, definite rela-
ton between the two eras.
To demonstrate the connection, the
university has elected to its faculty
DR.. Ernest Stein, lately Of the ORR
entail Institute of Brussels, and with
his assistance will undertake to build
up a new division of ancient and
medieval history.
New Light on History.
DR.. Stein has an international repu-
tation as an expert in the Byzantine
field. BY his own researches, 1t is
said in his behalf, he has shown the
history of the third to eighth CEN
turies in new light"
People" he explained, should be
interested in Byzantine culture be-
cause it is the basis of so much West
ern culture. The Byzantine state was
q link between ancient civilization
and the civilization of the Middle
Ages, between the East and the West,
between the old and the new. AS
founded by the Emperor Constantine
it reflected and reproduced ancient
Nf hIlt IL also
contained within itself the origins OF
the modern principles of jurisprudence
and administration. 1t traced back
to Augustus Caesar, but it likewise
foreshadowed George Washington.
Major Aim of Studies.
1.-THE major aim of Byzantine studies
is to understand the Christian past OF
the Greek and Roman world, under
the influence of which our modern
culture developed. In religion, much
Of the liturgy goes back to st. Greg
ory, who was a Byzantine statesman;
in law, many of the principles which
control our conduct today 60 back to
the code of JuStinian l. Emperor OF
the East. The famous Italian prim-
itive painters worked on Greek models
and the antiphonal singing which we
we hear in our churches and operas
comes from Greek musical methods. -
DR.. Stein was born in little town
which today is within the borders of
Poland, but which then was under
Austrian control He was educated at
the University of Vienna, then taught
In the University of Berlin. He has
served as scientific coadjutor of the
Roman-Germanic Commission of the
German Archaeological Institute and
was chosen in 1928 a member of the
Prussian Academy of Science.
