Al ndoned By
5deral Board
Thousands Of Strikers
Back On Jobs In The
Two Carolinas
ROWAN QUIET

Anti-strike forces, guarded by
machine guns and bayonets, made
Roadway in the Carolinas this week,
with approximately 10000 more
workers reported back on the job
than last week, according to a sur
vey made Thursday.
The strike situation wa quite in
Rowan county and little change
was noted from last week.
The textile strike mediation
board Wednesday found the issues
of that bitter controversy so deep
ly seated as to dispel all hope of i'm
mediate arbitration.
After two days of almost I'M
broken conferences with mill own
|ers it made this announcement and
1.-THE cotton textile institute asserted
that the only 'lawful method of
making the changes demanded by
the strikers was by amendments to
the code for their industry.
In practically all instances mill
lre-openings occurred where bying
squadrons of u~nionists, and not
voluntary walkouts, were response
bic for last weeks close-downs.
Some mills which operated last
week were unable to rally sufficient
help this week, thus partially off
setting the effect of re-opening on
the general situation.
Meanwhile, strike leaders kept
anxious eyes on the hosiery indus
try. Several thousand hosiery
workers were recuited to the strike
but most mills continued to
operate despite reduced force.
Only in isolated cases were mills
re-opened without national guard
protection, and thousands of special
lent their strength to the
announced intention of public Of
to allow all employees to work
if they wish.
Increased guards in Alabama and
increased strike-ranks in Tennessee
were the principal items in news
from the far-southern strikA sec
tors. Five plants in east central
Alabama were running behind a
Gordon of officers, with $500 at
work.
Hosiery workers at Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn, remained out of their
idle plants, bringing that. states
strike total above 5000.
Mississippi plants continued to
operate behind troop lines, and all
was quiet with Georgia's 10000
idle. Both Georgia and Alabama,
as the Carolinas, have more than
half of the normal textile employ
ment idle.

President R~oosevelt's personal
hold upon the affections of the
American people does not seem to
have diminished, tojudge from re-
ports brought back to Washington
by political scouts of both parties
Even those in and out of his own
party, including many rock-ribbed
Republicans, who never have voted
and never will vote the Democratic
ticket, admit the charm of the man
and concede the effect of his per-
sonal magnetism not only upon
those who meet him face to face
but even when it is projected over
the radio. There is no question that
Mr.. Roosevelt voice is the most
persuasive that has ever spoken in
TO a microphone, while his CHEEKY
smile wins the personal regard even
of tohse who are most bitterly OPP
posed to the course of his Admins
tration.
For that reason, most Of the
criticism Of the Administration SO
far has been directed at its acts and
methods, and aimed ostensibly at
the Presidents subordinates, usually
with the explicit reservation that no
personal criticism of the President
is intended. And that state of af-
fairs probably will continue, even
though some conservative Demo-
Gratis desert the standard of the Ad-
ministration.

Out of this peculiar situation
some astute observers here believe
that a new party lineup is definite
ly on the way. Some even go so far
as to predict that the major party
division in 1886 will be between
Roosevelt Party" and a "Consti-
tuition Party" by whatever names
they call themselves.
Indications which give color to
this idea Of a new party lineup in
American politics are many. There
is, for example, the coalition of Re
publicans and Democrats in the new
American Liberty League@whose
leaders, incidentally, profess the
usual personal friendship for Mr..
Roosevelt, while setting up an or
ganization which cannot be any
thing but opposed to the Roosevelt
program. There is the recent resig-
nation of Lew Douglas, Director of
the Budget, latest in the series of
designations of conservative-minded
men from their Administration
posts. Mr.. Douglas openly avowed
his lack of sympathy with the
Treasury's system of bookkeeping,
which Secretary Morgenthau de-
scribed in his recent radio address,
whereby one set of figures is used
to show that the campaign pledge
to reduce the Governments ex-
penditures has been kept and an
other entirely different set of figure:
is produced to cover the amount:
of the heavy increase in the Ma
tiona1 Debt and the disposition
made Of the funds so borrowed.
According to Mr.. Morgenthau
the $6,ooo,0 00,O increase in the
debt is actually only $4,40O,o 0o,-
900, because the. Treasury has ST.
500, oo0,o 900 of the money still or
hand, without counting the PRO
fit" o. 81, soo,ooo,ooo arising from
the devaluation Of the gold dollar
And much of the borrowed money
has been re-loaned through the R
r. c.. and other agencies.

occasion vnen the bantamweight
champion Of the world, one Mr. Al
Brown of Panama, fought Mr.. Kid
Francis, a native, at Marseilles, there
was certain misunderstanding as
to which had won.
One Of the judges, DR. James
Sparks, commander of the American
Legion of France, voted for Mr.
Brown, a circumstance that was so
repugnant to the sense of fair play
of the local Frenchmen that they
rushed him in a body, seized his
score card and tore it up. There
being no official verdict on the part
of DR.. Sparks, the bout was called
no contest.
On another occasion, when the

track designated the wrong horse as

ing Justice, inspired solely by lofty
ideals and unmindful of their finan-
cial losses, touched a torch to the
grandstand and burned it up.
I do not agree that this is right
or proper and I dare say it is a pro-
cedure that will always be froWned
upon by the better people as bour-
geoise and coarse, but it has had the
effect of increasing efficiency and
thereby reducing public dissatisfac-
ton. Very definitely then, it comes
under the head of constructive criti-

A S a result, Mr.. Levinsky. I'M
N derstand, is to be fetched to
New York to meet the outstanding
candidate for the double reverse
championship. Which is to say, he
is to be matched with the leading
winner among the losers. This is at
least novel idea. To guarantee
complete success both men should
be declared losers at the end OF the
match.
To the devout worshipers of pu-
gilism this may sound trivial, II not
DOWNRIGHT silly-but then what is
there about prize fighting today that
is not trivial and downright silly?
Take the case Of the two judges,
Harold Barnes and Danny Ridge,
recently suspended by the New York
commission for "the best interests OF
the sport"
Operating on point system con-
ceived by Mr.. Barnes himself, and
of course approved by the commits
sion. the officials made one fighter
the winner on points when it was
obvious even to them that he was
the loser. They explained that be-
cause the system worked out that
way there was nothing else to do
but give the loser the decision.
NTOW I ask you, does this MAKE
~ sense? What has happened is
that since the commission became a
springboard from which aspiring
gentlemen soar into political prom
inence, so much poppycock and Of
fetal bilge has been introduced by
way of making the job look impor-
tant, that the referees and judges
don't know what time it is.
Because of the gentlemans anna
bility, hesitate to suggest that the
chairman, General Phelan, conf1ne
his extra-curricular activities to
playing soldier with the state militia,
but do fear if he continues to head
the commission, there may be time
when the customers will take mat
tiers in their own unwilling hands.
Certainly, if the afore- mentiOned
brawls had carried any significance
there would have been something
approaching a riot the night the un-
believable decisions were made by
figure logged officials whose system
of accounting made it imperative
that the last must be first.
I do not wish to be placed in the
light of encouraging unmannerly
conduct on the part of the custom
ers, but it does seem that certain
forms of elf-eXpression-a quality
which seems to be contrary to the
national spirit-can be translated
into constructive criticism.
q
TN such matters the French sue
i coed in being both spectacular
and effective. I recall that on the
