Southern Textile Workers
Ask WLB for Strike Vote
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GREENSBORO, N. c., Mar. 49,
The 100000 CIO-Southern Textile
Workers, most of them in the Caro-
linas, have joined New England
workers in asking the War Labor
Board to order a strike vote, union
leaders said today.
The $50 locals met yesterday to
ballot on the issue and Roy r. Law
renee, Southern representative OF
the Textile Workers Union OF
America, described the vote as
unanimous" A count will be made
| tomorrow, he said.
The move is in protest against
delay in putting into effect a WLE
order issued last month for an up
ward revision of wages. The New
England workers voted a week age
for the strike procedure.
The New England and Southern
votes were taken under the Smith
Connally Act, which allows for a
30-day cooling off" period before
| a strike.
The WLB ordered a minimum
wage of SIS cents an hour in South
ern textile mills along with other
pay rate revisions, but attached q
stipulation that the order not be-
come operative unless the Office Of
Economic Sterilization ruled such
increases would not increase the
cost of textiles to the consumer.
The OES has not acted.
