BATTLE
Dozen Are Wounded
As Violence Flares
At Cotton Mill

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 2
I.N.S.).-Gov. Olin d. johnson
this morning issued blanket
orders to Adjutant General
DOzier to rush sufficient troops
to Pelzer, s. c., to prevent
further disorder in the labor
situation there, it was an
nOunced at the governors office.
PELZER, S. c., Sept. 2 GN.S).
Violence flared in the turbulent
labor situation here with the
dawn of Labor Day, leaving one
woman dead and more than a
dozen other persons wounded, at
least one of them critically.
Mrs. Gertrude Kelley was killed
almost instantly and j. P. Nc
Dougal was shot in the head as a
pitched battle broke out between
organized labor pickets and strike
breakers at the Pelzer Manufac-
turing Company's cotton mills as
the strike breakers were assem-
bling at the mills.
Troops Withdrawn
The violence followed closely on
the heels of the withdrawal of
troops from the mills last Friday.
The troops had been stationed
there since an outbreak several
weeks ago in which two persons
were killed.
The battle started shortly be-
fore Z a. M, when car in which
strikebreakerS were repeatedly
riding drove up to Mill No. 3.
The car instantly was made a
target for a barrage of stones and
bricks, and then without warning
gunfire broke out. The fighting
quickly spread to Plants No. l and
No. 2 nearby.
The pickets, who had moved on
the plants last night, took refuge
behind a barricade and withstood
the efforts of the strikebreakers
to dislodge them.
County officers arrived at the
scene about two hours later, but
the strike pickets, whose identities
were not known, had scattered
and could not be located. Mem
bers of the sheriff's force refused
to make any statement concern
ing the battle.
Troops Called Back
Two companies of the national
guard were reported en- route to
the scene.
The mills were scheduled to
operate today, according to an
announcement Saturday. but this
morning it was reported the
plant officials had decided to dis
miss the workers for the day,
due to the presence of the
pickets.
It could not be learned whether
Mrs. Kelley was a member Of the
picket line or was a strike
breaker. McDougal was neither.
He had driven to the mills with
his son and arrived just before
the battle started.
The labor troubles started here
eight weeks ago, but last Friday
it was decided danger of violence
was past and the troops that had
been here about three weeks
were withdrawn.
