Georgia Calls Out Entire Militia

PICKETS IMPRISONED
Mediation Board To Submit Re-
port Which May Influence Ac-
ton To Be Taken Later.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. U.P) -
Tightening textile strike lines sug-
gested today that personal interven-
ton by President Roosevelt ulti
mately may be required to settle
the deadlock.
A report on the situation, request
ed before Oct l, but possibly to be
submitted earlier, will be made by
the special mediation board which
the President named. These find
ings probably will determine Mr..
Roosevelts action.
With the conflict exhibiting all
signs of stubborn, long drawnout
battle 1t was felt that rather than
allow the strike to react disastrously
on recovery efforts, the President
would intervene If all other avenues
appeared closed.
The alternative would be to allow
the workers and mill owners to en-
gage in bitter test of strength.
Despite militant action by author.
tiles in Georgia and other textile
centera there was little indication of
break in the strike ranks today
and only isolated outbreaks of vio.
lence.
Strike leaders here, headed by
! Francis j. German, United Textile
Workers vice president, protested
bitterly when advised of action be-
ing taken by military forces in
Georgia where the entire national
guard has been called.
Guardsmen have set up a barbed.
wire concentration camp at Fort
Mcpherson, on the site of a similar
barricade where German spy sus-
poets were held during the World
war. Members of the flying squad
rons" of Union pickets are being ar
rested
About $50 pickets, including 13
women, were imprisoned in the
stockade.
German condemned Gov. Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia for his action
which included use of martial law.
A report on the general textile
strike by President Roosevelt's
special board was being drafted to-
day, with indications that executive
action might be suggested to end
the walkout, now in its third week.
Textile centers in Georgia con
tinued under martial law. Manufac-
turers estimated that $4,000 workers
had returned to the job since troops
were mobilized.
Strike headquarters in Washing
ton considered calling out 10000
carpet and synthetic rayon workers.
Threats of violence forced the
Pepperell Mills, largest in Maine, TO
close. The plant employs $500.

suited in injuries to several as fly

MANY TOPICS
DISCUSSED At.
LABOR NEE 7
NRA Program To Receive Spec
ial Consideration From Dele
gates To State Convention.

! PASADENA, Calf, Sept 18. UP)
An extensive program to sustain
and rehabilitate labor in a trying
era was to be outlined today in var
ious resolutions, prepared for pre-
sentation to the 35th annual Cali
fornia State Federation of Labor
convention.
The resolutions, some of them
promising lively debate, embodied
such social questions as unemploy.
ment, the six-hour working day, old
age pensions and strikes. The NRA
was expected to crop out as a sub
ject for debate before the conven-
ton adjourns at the end of the
! week.
Labor leaders said an attempt
would be made to outlaw politics
from convention debate but admit
ted this may be difficult.
Upton Sinclair, Democratic nom
inee for governor, was greeted with
warm applause when he appeared
before the convention yesterday and
asked in a Commute address for
labor's endorsement of his EPIC
program. In exchange, Sinclair
pledged labor plank for the Demo
cratic platform.
The NRA intruded itself in the
opening remarks of President A. w
Hoch when he declared that the
collective bargaining clause is be
ing violated by many California
employers, espousing company un-
ions.
Company unions in most instan-
ces are entirely dominated by the
employer and are being used as a
wedge in the anti-union campaign
of the employers" Hoch said. He re-
commended appointment of spe-
cial committee to combat this evil.i
The labor president also attacked
the diversion of gas tax funds for
other than road building and main
tenance purposes and called on Ia
Dor to supports its lobby at Sacra-
mento.
An optimistic report that labor
unions are undergoing regular re-
vival movement" in California was
made by Paul Scharrenberg of San
Francisco, secretary of the fedora
ton. He pointed to the nomination
of U. S. Senator Hiram w. John
son on the Democratic and Repub-
lican tickets as well deserved tri-
butte to a man whose long record of
public service has been 100 per cent
for the plain people of California. J"
Delegates expected spirited con
test to develop among San Diego,
Long Beach, Stockton and Sacra-
mento later this week when the
question of next years convention
site reaches vote.

compromise in principle, both par
ties wanting efficient handling of
funds.o
"There was considerable criti-
cism throughout the state that the
session was called for political
purposes and of course both sides
may be guilty of politics but in
my opinion this session was as free
of politics as any session, there
being no apparent disposition on
anyone's part to play politics with
human misery.
"For my own part, I was dis
appointed by the fact that I was
unable to get into the relief appro-
priation measure some safeguards
to assure the proper spending OF
funds. I went there with the idea
of proposing the bonding of those
spending the money, and if, posi-
BILE, of writing into the measure a
penal clause that would tend to
prevent graft.

al but I was informed by the leg
islation council bureau that such
matters were inappropriate for a
constitutional amendment an d
should be included in the laws
which put the amendment into ef-
feet.
~ was also disappointed in the
bill for moratorium on mortgages
The assembly passed two bills, hop
ing that the senate would also pass
them and leave the choice to the
governor.
"In the confusion and excite
ment of the closing hours, the SEN
ate gave short shrift to the meas
ure that I most favored. This bill
offered greater benefit to the bor-
rover and also reasonable protec-
ton to the lender.''
Assemblyman Robinson stated
that Senator Ben Hulse played ar
active part in the proceedings OF
the senate, attending all sessions.

ASKS NEEDED
SCHOOL ROOM

A resolution, to be presented to
the directors of the Imperial Irri-
cation district and to the bureau of
reclamation, asking that the federal
government provide ways and
means to furnish additional school
rooms as necessity demands in the
Andrade, Winterhaven and other
districts was passed at the recent
meeting of the county board of edu-
cation held at the court house.
The resolution points out that
with the actual construction of work
on the All-American canal the
school attendance has greatly in
creased at Andrade and will probab
" increase still more as it will at
Winterhaven and other districts.
Further, these school districts have
neither funds, nor sufficient valua
Lions non sufficient legal limita-
tions to permit them to raise funds
to construct additional school build
ings needed for the increased school
attendance. AS result the secre-
tary of the county board was in
structed to present the matter to
the district and the bureau of re-
clamation, urging federal aid.
Mrs. Esther J. Kavanaugh of Holt
vile was unanimously elected pre-
sident of the county board.
Members present were George
Harlan of Jasper, M. B. Hocken-
berry of Imperial, Percy Palmer of
Brawley, Mrs. Kavanaugh and G. B.
Collins, county superintendent of
schools.
Miss Helen Thomas, newly appoint
ed instruction supervisor, was in
troduced by Supt. Collins and her
recommendation to the board that
the preliminary basic course of
study as adopted in 1882 be enrich
ed by the adoption of various state
courses, was passed.
The following suggested courses
of study for elementary schools were
added social sciences, reading and
literature, science, oral and written
expression.
Upon the request Of the county
librarian, Romaine Richmond Ma
gee, supplementary test book list
was adopted.

dates set for teachers examina
