BREVARD HAS
Mill STRIKE
Adjustment Of Wage De-
mands Late Today Is
Anticipated

BREVARD, April 22.-The day
light shift Of the PiSgah Cotton
mill walked out on strike this
morning about s o'clock after
asking an increase in wages.
However, this afternoon it APP
pcared that operators and mill
management would reach an
agreement and that work would
start in the mill again tonight.
The daylight force went to work
this morning about 6:30 o'clock,
relieving the night shift, and quit
work about an hour or so later.
Several days ago, the mill work.
erS, in petition, requested an m
crease in wages. The mill manage
ment replied in an order published
in the mill that an increase would
be granted, and that conferences
would be held looking toward an
increase in wages.
II was learned today that the
mill management has offered an
increase of 10 per cent in wages,
and it was believed here today
that this offer would be accepted
and that work would be resumed
with the night shift tonight.
There is no union organization
at the mill, and workers united
by signing a Ground ROBIN re-
quest for increased wages.
The walk-out was peaceful ana
no effort was made toward sit-
down strike. There was no picket
ing of mill property.
There are about 100 employees
at the Pisgah Cotton mill.
