 Preparing to 90 tomorrow to Whiteville, where the vigilante op- erations centered, Burney said he had obtained names of Il men and four women who participated Tn night time raids, on private homes. one of them, he said, is Q compar- atively wealthy merchant.
 Burney talked in his office, with several persons whom he refused to identify. "I have learned" he said, that at least seven women were marked for fioggings before Jan- uary 1. We have discovered only Ave the gang has whipped The others may merely be keeping quiet, but they may still be on the list" The just adjourned grand jury, which will not report until August 2i, learned that the band had whipped and in some cases other wise tortured Mrs. Bertha Fowler, 35, and her l4 year old daughter, who is mentally incompetent; Lihue Fowler, a paralyzed, 65 year old farmer unrelated to Mrs, Bertha Fowler; Fowler's three daughters, and John Crib, young farmer whom the night riders accused of bootlegging whiskey.
 Authorities hesitated even to guess at the extent of the night riding organization. But many residents of the countryside had seen the band on their rides and had heard rumors. The fanatical band wore white robes and hoods like those of the K. K. K. They addressed each other by numbers. Their motto, acc cording to the Wilmington Star News, which said 1t had obtained an affidavit from member, was: ITO change or to kill" Mrs. Fowler and her daughter apparently were among the last of the gangs victims Mrs Fowler Is tenant farmer, she and her daughter live in Q two-room cabin. The night riders pulled them from the cabin on the night of June 1, took them In motor cars to an isolated field. With the body of the band ranged in a circle around them two sheeted and hooded women stripped both mother and daughter to the waist. A man fiogged them with harness strap, Then the woman clipped Mrs. Fow- ler's hair close to the scalp and branded a cross on her head.

 No Reason For Panic
 "This is Q movement to extend an existing labor organization. There is no reason, 1t seems to me, for panic. It is not necessary to have strike in order to organize" :"
 Miss Perkins said she did not know what employers have done to protect their interests" She said she had read the statement of the American Iron & Steel Institute declaring against the unioniZation campaign, and said 1t seemed to her to be several steps ahead of the program"
 "They announced there was going to be a strike she said. They announced what the purpose of the strike was going to be. I think 1t is not necessarily a correct assump- ton. and 1t is not based upon de- velopments to date"
