WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Textile
strike peace after more than two
weeks of bIoOdshed and sabotage
appeared imminent today as strike
leaders rushed here for a decision
on the federal mediation boards

It was learned authOritatively that
strike chieftains felt that peace
was near.

quest that the strikers return 10

lens An the industry was received
without comment at the Office OF
Francis j. German. strike leader.
Members of the textile unions
executive council were Fastening
here for a conference at which
formal decision will be made. Many
Of them are in strike areas and may
not be able to reach Washington
until late tonight.
Strike Council Meets
Mr.. ROosevelt's appeal was con-
tanned in a formal statement as fol
lows.
In formally approving the re-
port submitted to me by the board
OF inquiry for the cotton textile in
dustry. l want to express the very
sincere hope that all employees now
out on strike VIII return to work
and that all textile manufacturers
will take back employees without
discrimination.
AT the same time / am confident
that manufacturers will aid the
government in the carrying out OF
the steps outlined.
Settlement of the problems in
volved will be reached with the ex-
ercise of a spirit Of cooperation
and fair play on both sides.
Mr.. RooSevelt's statement was in
support of the report of his special
board of inquiry which was pre-
scented to hi myeSterday for APP
proval.
Meanwhile the executive council
of the textile strike met TO decide
whether the great walkOut will bt
called off on the basis of recon-
mendations by this board.
The meeting was called by Fran
els J. German. strike director. lmme-

interpretations Differ
interpretations of the report by
labor and management differed.
German characterized the report
as an indictment Of management
but would not indicate whether the
strike would be called of prior to
comforting with the executive coun-
Gil.
Sloan said the recommendations
were concerned primarily with ma
chinery for administering the tex
tile code and that the board had
recognized the 'far-reaching inn
provements for employees" effected
by the code.
Proposals Of the board were:
Creation OF an impartial three
man board similar TO the Steel Ia
Dor board and the national labor re-
lations board TO protect labor'S col
lective bargaining rights and other
labor provisions Of the code.
An independent study by the de-
partment of labor and the federal
trade commission Of economic con-
ditions in the industry with a view
TO discovering what changes in
hours and wages can be made.

The Undersecretary is back and he
certainly did pursue a laiSsez faire
program while in Europe. He got
around considerably and hobnobbed
with II Duce and royalty quite bit.
OF course, primarily, he went over to
attend the Agricultural Conference in
Italy, but it would not have taken him
long to have met all the dirt farmers
there, for the farms do not run into
the thousands of acres, as they do
out in the Middle West. II Duce
doubtless told him about that wild
dash he made on a tractor into the
Pontine Marshes, when he led the
caravan Of tractors that have helped
the swampy land to blossom as the
rose. That classic marsh! II Duce is
somewhat like L. Quintius Cincinna-
tus, who went from the plow to the
dictatorship - except II Duce went
from a newpaper Office to his present
position, but like Cincinnatus he be-
lieves in the cultivation of the soil as
the salvation of any country or people.
