German Scores Use of Guard,
Sayings in South; To
Reject Mediation !
BY International News Service

Eyes of the nation turned on
Washington today as the posi-
bility loomed that both sides in
the great textile war, which thus
far has claimed 10 lives and sent
scores to hospitals. would seek
the aid of Federal troops.
Francis j. German, chairman
of the general strike committee,
announced that protection of the
regular Army would be asked for
strikers in areas where National
Guardsmen and special police
have been employed by governors
ito break this strike" He said:
Reports coming in from mill
centerS in Southern States tell
of increasing use of National
Guard units under the direction
of governors of the States to
break this strike.
These units are being used
against the strikers and in be-
half of the mill owners.
ASK FOR TROOPS
"In the face of this action, we
propose to ask the Federal Gov
ernment to use its military
forces wherever it may be neces-
sary for the protection of tex
tile workers, who in this strike
have acted within their rights
under the law"
Mr.. German said he had asked
the Rev. James Myers, of New
York, member of the Federal
Council Of Churches of Christ in
America, to officiate at the fu-
neral of strikers killed at Honea
Path, S. c., yesterday.
John Peel, of Greenville, s. c.,
vice president of the United Tex
tile Workers, will attend the fu-
neral and will speak for the spe-
cial strike committee. Norman
Socialist, is also expected
to attend the funeral.
At the same time George A.
Sloan, head of the Cotton Textile
Institute, strongly intimated that
mill owners would bid for the Serv.
ice of the Government in protect
ing the sacred American right Of
the individual to work"

Labor Perkins, Harry A. Mills and
Edwin S. Smith, of the National
Labor Relations Board; Charles
solicitor for the Depart.
ment of Labor, and A. j. Altmyer,
second assistant Secretary of La.
Dor.
The outlook as the board met
was far from bright.
Obviously angered by the kill
Ings in the strike zones, textile
workers, headed by Mr.. German,
announced they would not talk
until every mill in the
tar-flung industry is shut down.
They are still some distance from
hat goal.
The mill owners, on the other
hand, seemed equally cool to Fed
eral mediatory efforts. Prior to
he actual walkout, the employers
consistently declined to meet the
lnion leaders at the counsel
able of the National Labor Rela-
ions Board, and since the strike
became effective they have indi.
;ated no change in this attitude.
State police and National
have been called to

strikers made slow but apparently

New evidence that govern.
mental departments assisted mu.
nitions firms in disposing of their
wares abroad was presented to the
Senate munitions committee to
day.
The War Department, it was
disclosed, assisted the briggs En-
gineering Company in making
available to Poland certain secret
patents for antiaircraft guns.
The disclosure followed evil
Gence that the Navy Department,
State Department and American
0dmirals and ambassadors aided
American submarine builders in
their worldwide sales campaigns.
Louis L. briggs, company preSi-
dent, defended the War Depart
ment's policy on the ground it
aided gun manufacturers to main
tain their abliShments SO they
would be available to this country
in war time.
Letter Is Read
A letter from briggs to his
Polish agent, Florjan Ziemba,
dated January "a, 1929, said:
GAS you know the United
States war Department is now
cooperating with us 100 per
cent. They have even changed
the policy to a more favorable
one to us than when you were
here.
"The Ordnance Department
officials said that the depart
ment was now more concerned
in having our plant get work
than government plants"
Anti-aircraft gun designs were
developed both by Army and COM
pany engineers, briggs testified.
Senator Vandenberg (RO OF
Michigan, asked:
"Are secret American gun de-
signs always available to foreign
countries through sales by your
company"
briggs replied:
81 suppose so, but the foreign
countries could copy them any
way"
Vandenberg commented:
"Then, for the sake of Amer
lean business, the War Depart
ment is ready to rob itself of
designs developed by its own
engineers"
briggs said it is impossible to
"keep gun secrets from other ma
tionS."
Cooperation Promised
Heads of these departments
probably will be called before the
committee. President Roosevelt
notified the Senate last spring
that the executive departments
would cooperate in the probe.
The briggs Company also sold
guns to Turkey, Denmark, Greece,
Iithuania, Venezuela, Colombia
and Guatemala.
The Navy Department was even
more cooperative than the Army.
According to letter briggs wrote
to Herbert F. L. Allen, repre-
sentative in Turkey.
When the Army baked for
time about allowing the company
to use certain gIn patents, briggs
wrote:
"The Navy Department has
not puSsyfOOted in this way, as
you will see from the letter we
have just received from the
chief of the Bureau of Ordnance,
of which 1 enclOSt you two pho
tOstatiC copies.
"FOr your information l also

After landing a Polish order for
10 three-inch guns, totaling ST.
900, 900, briggs wrote to Maj Gen.
