TEXTILE WORKERS
WILL SEEK RAISE
Southern Union To Ask Is
Cents Per Hour Ia Meet
Northern Wage

ATLANTA, Sept. 21-H-C CLIO
textile workers from eight
Southern states today agreed to
demand a Is cents an hour gen
eral wage increase to eliminate
what they branded an unjust"
differential with the North.
Three hundred delegates re-
presenting 125, 600 members of
the Textile Workers Union of
America approved an immediate
demand for the hike as suggest
ed by union officials.
George Baldanzi, executive
vice president of the TWUA,
told the delegates a recent s.
cent increase in Northern tex
tile mills puts the differential
at Is cents.
He cited further that textile
mill profits have increased 35
percent this year over 1916. He
said profits of the Kendall Corp
Grafton, after payment OF taxes,
were up Its percent and profits
of Burlington Mills were up
more than 100 percent.

He said mill owners profit 70
cents for each man-hour Of work
now compared with So cents in
1916.
Baldanzi declared manufac-
lures are taking advantage OF
increasing monopoly" in the
textile industry to raise prices
beyond reasonable figures.
He said the minimum textile
wage in the South is 80 cents
an hour while the average is "a
cents. The Northern average
was cited at $1.07.

British Ready
To 0kay Plan
Partition OF Palestine To
Be Accepted, Authori-
tative Source Says

LONDON, Sept. 21.-(B)-An
authoritative foreign office
source said tonight Great Britain
will offer to accept the patition
of Palestine when she presents
her case to the United Nations
General Assembly, but will in
sist that other member nations
assist in carrying out the job.
The source, who asked that
he not be identified by name,
said it could be "taken for
granted" that this would be the
official British position present
ed to the U. N. by Colonial Sec
rotary Arthur Creech Jones, who
leaves tomorrow for New York.
Specific details of what action
the British cabinet took on the
Palestine question at a meeting
Saturday have not been announc-
ed.
Reports that the cabinet voted
to accept the majority report of
the United Nations Special Com
mittee on Palestine (UNSCOP),
which recommended partition of
the Holy Land and interim i'm
migration Of Jews on a large
scale, could not be confirmed Of
ficially in any authoritative
quarter.
Most reliable indications were
that the cabinet reached no ir-
reparable decision and that its
instructions to Creech Jones
were of a conditional nature.
The one point on which there
could be no doubt that all the
ministers agreed, the source
said, was that Great Britain no
longer could bear the burden of
supporting nearly 100, 900 troops
in Palestine to preserve order.
"That means there will be two
conditions Creech Jones must
put before the Assembly," he
added.
81. That a deadline must be
set for British troops to leave.
80 That the United Nations as a
a whole, or a number of its mem
bers, must be ready to help in
the actual enforcement of the
solution, whether it's partition
or otherwise"
One high ranking political
source said the influential in
ternational subcommittee of the
Labor party had recommended
that the cabinet accept the
UNSCOP majority plan.

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 21-P
Secretary of State Marshall's
two top United Nations proposals
for revision of u. N. peace
machinery and discussion of Ko-
rean independence were sent to
the full Assembly today over
vigorous Soviet objections and
amid a renewal of Russia's slash
ing attacks on the United States.
The votes on the two issues
in the Assembly's steering con-
mittee were II to 2 with Russia
and Poland in the minority each
time.
The days biggest broadside
was delivered against Marshall
by Andrei A. Gromyko, who
charged that the Secretary had
distorted the truth to imply that
Russia was to blame. for delays
in Korean independence.
The Soviet delegate said Mar
