62-Day Strike Ends
Al I Fall River Mills
Seized by Army
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. IA
Smoke poured from the chimneys
Of seven Army-seized textile mills
today as more than 5000 workers
returned to their jobs after 62-day
walkout. Full production was ex-
pected by tomorrow.
Termination of the strike came
last night when 300 members of
three independent craft unions
loom flxers, slasher tenders and knot
Itiers-voted unanimously to return
to work.
Return of the craftsmen permits
unemployment of approximately
$500 CIO and AFL employees af-
fected by the walkout.
Only a few days before the work.
|ers refused to go back when Col.
Curtis G. Pratt, Army representa-
tive, took command of the mills on
presidential order.
I Says Strike Hurt War Effort.
Later Col. Pratt issued a second
statement In which he charged that
the work stoppage had affected
seriously future military plans Of the
Army by depriving American soldiers
of vitally needed insect netting for
use during expanding South Pacific
operations.
Last night the strikes end was
announced by a 15-man Negotiating
Committee of the three independent
unions-the same unions that
walked out December 13 in protest
against seniority clause in a CIO
contract with the Fall River Textile
Manufacturers Association.
The Negotiating Committee re-
ported that the strike had ended
without settlement of the differences
between the unions and the manu-
facturers
Committees Statement.
In statement, the committee
said:
"The Army of the United States
is here to reopen the mills in Fall
River. We don't want the Army to
lose in Fall River any more than we
want to see it lose in Italy or in the
Pacific. We are, therefore, returning
to work in the morning.
THE issues of the dispute remain
unsettled. Obviously the Army is
not the agency to settle them. It
is our expectation that the issues
will in due course be presented to
the proper tribunals for adjudica-
ton"
In turn, Col. Pratt announced
that the Army will remain in COM
mand of the seven mills until full
production efficiency has been re-
sumed.

Cotton Textile Business
EXPANDS Moderately
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Cotton
textile business picked up moder-
ately this week but still consisted
mainly of fill-in orders.
Uncertainties confronting mill
operations were unchanged, includ-
ing the unsettling effect of con-
verting additional looms to pro-
duction of military duck, possible
higher wage demands. ceiling prob
lens and confusion regarding the
Government purchasing program in
raw cotton.
Narrow print cloths were reported
sold to the bag trade for November
shipment and sheetings also figured
in small aggregate volume.
The ONCE of Price Administration
announced producers Of 8.2-ounce
combed cotton twills could sell such
goods on an adjustable price basis
against military contracts as a
means Of accelerating tagging pro-
duction until permanent ceiling
Is decided upon.
The Army increased its buying of
wool goods for the first quarter of
1945 and a critical shortage of
civilian woolens was foreseen be-
cause of around 10000, 900 yards Of
Army needs and United Nations re-
lief needs.

A hurricane refugee, Bill c.
told us the other day as we talked
about the big blow over Havana and
Florida, that to him a refugee al
ways was some one nobody ever
heard about, turning up at inter-
walls in the newspapers.
I'm other words" he said, II al
ways had the idea that nothing like
that could ever happen to me. But
it did"
He went on:
"At o'clock on the 14th of last
month, the big wind hit our pa
vilion at Brigantine, N. j. Water
rose so fast, it was frightening. We
had been warned by the radio to
get away to higher ground. But as
I said before, had the idea that a
hurricane always happened to some
one else.
"Moored to our piazza was one
man duck hunting boat. Three of
us and a dog rode out the storm in
that flimsy craft until 9 pm. with
the rain ever beating down on us.
Would have been swept out to sea
If we hadn't pulled the boat into
the high marsh grass and hung on
to high shrubs.
From these shrubs we picked off
a number of little birds to save
them from drowning. They were
content to rest on our heads, shoul-
ders, arms, or legs-any available
spot in the crowded craft.
Bill paused in his story, then said
"Do you know what I first recall
when I think of that hurricane?"
We waited.
