 Raleigh, N. C., Sept 7.-(UP)- With more troops than it has mo- bilized since World war days, North Carolina to-day attempted to preserve an armed truce in this sector of the textile strike battle front.
 Twenty-three state militia units comprising 300 men were in the field. They were armed with rifles bayonets, gas and machine guns
 The troops were stationed in 13 mill towns to prevent violence and to enforce Gov J. c. B. Ehring- haus' decree that workers who do not desire to strike must be pro- tected from coercion.
 Force Mills to Close
 Despite mobilization of the Ma tional Guard, rowing cavalcades of Strike pickets forced additional mills to close. Some mills an- nounced determination to attempt to reopen under military protec- ton.
 Adjutant Gen J. Van B. Metts, commander of the militia, told the United Press, i've are going to do our utmost to see that there is no fighting in this state"
 If a man wants to strike, that is his right and he will be pro- tected in that right. But if a man wants to continue to work, that also Is his right and we are going to see that that right is pre- served"
 Technically, the troops so far are operating under jurisdiction of the county sheriffs, and are or dered to carry out the sheriffs in- structions under civil law.
 But of course the troops can carry out those instructions in their own way Metts explained.
 Bayonets May Be Used
 Which means that if necessary, bayonets can be brought into use

 Some companies were instructed sto shoot to kill if rushed by pick sets. They were ordered to prevent sstrikers from molesting weavers in active mills.
 City police and special deputies reinforced the militiamen. This vicinity fairly bristled with guns, ibayonets and clubs. Many work siers who spurned the strike order carried firearms to their looms de- spite statutes prohibiting such practice. Authorities winked.
 Col Harry o. Wilmington, com 'manding the National Guard units, and his lieutenants met in ''war council' as additional companies of soldiers poured into Greenville. Bus loads of striking youths, sidearms swinging at their hips poured in, | bringing to the number of militia companies mobilized in or near here and to about $50 or 300 the total men involved.
 Seven Mills Under Guard Militiamen guarded seven local mills. Tickets gathered at the Woodside plant and swore to re- main until all walked out.
 At Easley, S. C., it was reported, townsmen and workers had Vir- tually bought out the arms and am- munition supply of both hardware stores. Rifles and shotguns were displayed prominently in show win dows.
 South Carolina seemed prepar- ing for armed conflict. The shoot ings at Honea Path which result ed in six deaths and numerous in- juries famed opposing opinion to white heat.
 Gov Blackwood, at Columbia, ap- pealed to arms dealers to refuse to sell arms to any but properly authorized persons.
 Sixty Per Cent Are Out
 Peel estimated that 50 per cent of the workers in Greenville coun- ty, wherein are 32 large mills, had left their looms. Others placed the figure much lower. Some mills are operating on 50 per cent basis. most, it was reliably report ed, are running at full capacity or nearly so, heavily guarded by troops and police.
 To the east and south, the per- centage of idleness is much high CT. Peel said only one mill of five in Laurens County, s. C., was run ming. In @partanburg county he claimed only two in three are open. Authorities agreed with this esti- mate,

Brains and the New Deal

gresham or a politician, he would
funk his course in philosophy. We
survive in this universe by regimenta-
ton. There are certain things which
we cannot do and live. 1t is sup
posed to be kindness in humane
society to forbid those dangers in
order to protect infants and incom-
petents.
In older countries than ours 1t has
lsng been illegal to sell goods under
cost with the amiable purpose of driv-
ing your rival out of business. Now
that we are forbidden to engage in
this form Of assassination, some of
us feel that our life is over-regiment-
ed. If capital takes to itself too much
of the profits and leaves the worker
impoverished. there is always a smash
of some kind. To avoid revolution,
it seems wise for the Government to
redistribute the profits through taxa
ton. This, of course, is regimenta-
ton. But 1t Is hard to call it an
interference with liberty unless liberty
implies the right to be insensitive and
unfair. OF course, all this regimenta-
tion would be spared If of our own
volition we were willing to study the
right course and adopt it, but no one
ever enjoyed liberty who was not
willing to regulate himself.
Certain aspects of the new deal
program are distasteful to me, as to
other people. My complaint against
them is that they seem to contradict
or to discourage what little intellectual
life we already have. The end of
knowledge is power, and power,
suppose, should be used. The slow
progress of intelligence and the ac-
emulation of knowledge has enabled

us to create and produce. can't see
why that creation and production
should come to an end, and am
completely bafled at the suggestion
that by cutting down our production
and closing the doors Of commerce we
can increase our wealth. Nothing
among the desirable things which
business or agriculture produces is too
plentiful In the world. So long as
wide areas of population are hungry
there is not too much wheat or too
much milk.
But, even If the doctrine of small
production and limited exchange were
economically sound, ! should regret
the damage 1t would do to the intel
lectual life. Agriculture on even
small scale may have noble by
product, since the man working in the
soil is hand in hand with nature.
Small business, however, Is likely to
be small business. Commerce becomes
spiritually and intellectually dignified
when it serves in the exchange among
peoples, the exchange of acquaint-
ance and of ideas as well as goods.
Nationalism has It's wholesome sides
should think very little of the man
who had not special love of the
places where he lives and for the neigh
bors among whom he spends his days.
But no nation is big enough to in
clude more than a tiny part of the
intellectual life of the race, and that
life is aided by the interlocked
exchange of services and goods from
hemisphere to hemisphere. My cup
of coffee or tea is more than drink.
Perhaps could quench my thirst as
well with local product, but some
thing would be gone from my too
limited store of sympathy and knowl-
edge If my breakfast table each day

would remind the American ofople
that individual liberty is not lost in a
moment. 1t is endangered by gradual
and progressive attrition. I do not
believe that Americans will become
Fascists, on the one hand. or bolshe-
Wiki, on the other. I know that the
gallant gentleman who is President
opposes both these doctrines.
But eternal vigilance remains the
price of liberty. and Federal bureau
cracy will stifle the spirit of inde-
pendence and freedom. And so we all
should celebrate this Fourth of July
with rebirth Of the old enthusiasm
for those Jeffersonian faiths that in
spired our forefathers to win our in

protect those essential individual

both self-evident and inalienable.

He and Prof. Morse, the inventor of

upon others. Holding these views, I
do not believe that the business and
the activities of the individual can be
directed by the Federal Government
without a loss of strength in character
of the individual and a restriction of
the right to happiness that every citi-
zen should have.
Moreover, I do not believe the indi-
vidual will develop the best that is in
MIN when he is controlled and di-
rected by Government officials. I do
not believe he will rise to the height
OF his business potentialities when his
neld OF commercial enterprise is linn
lted by law too strictly and his right
TO private profit is controlled too mar
roWly. The motors of enterprise in
the mass of American individuals have
been the desire to accumulate an inde-
pendence for those dependent upon
them, and then, when such property
has been justly acquired, to have it
protected by laws firmly and fairly
administered.
The right of private property and
the right of the owner to control his
property have inspired generations of
Americans to develop their capacities

them under Government where citi-

Oscar Wilde.
Oscar Wilde is again in New York.
He came in Saturday on Cunard
steamer and lolled in his cab IN an
aesthetic attitude, as he was driven
to the Brunswick. He says he has
come to America for a stay of two
weeks, to superintend the production
of his play, Vera, or the Nihillst," ="
which is to open at the Union Square
Theater next Monday.
Oscar is looking we'll. He is fatter
than when he left America, but his
dress is more like that Of human
being He has cut his long, flowing
locks, and long pantaloons have taken
the place of knee breeches. He wore
this afternoon soft black hat

hair, he said: Its present cut is mod
eled after that of the bust of Nero in
the Louvre. Having had my hair cut
short. I was forced TO give up my
knee breeches, for short hair and knee
breeches are an absurdity."
Mr.. Wilde says he has written much
new poetry, and he will issue second
volume of his poems this Fall He
road to a proper appreciation of art,
which, he says, in America should be
of the simple nature of the days of
the Revolution. His play, Vera, or
the Nihilist," is much talked of in
New York, and its first night will be
before a full house. Marie Prescott
will be its heroine, and the elegant
costumes which she is to wear are on
exhibition in the corner window of
Lord e. Taylors on Broadway. -Four
costumes are shown on wax lady fig
ures. and in each case the face Is
hidden by a mask. The dresses COM
prise peasants costume, fine gold

and a striking costume of black and

by Alexander III at his coronation, is

play was published today. 1t is full
of good sense about the success Of
plays in general.

Kiralfy is bringing out has ballet of

tises. The play is something like the
Black Crook" only more wonderful
in its machinery. 1t came out first
in Italy two years ago. and the 1tal-
1ans went wild over it. 1t was played
night after night in Milan, Venice,
Rome and Naples. the Italians then
prophesying that it would go round
the world. 1t was acted at Naples
in La Scala" the largest theater in
the world, where the ballet was $50,
nearly three times that of Kiralfy's.
