INDUSTRIAL WARFARE
THE TEXTILE STRIKE UNION'S OFFER TO OWNERS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, September 9. ’Although the United Textile Union has offered to arbitrate the strike issues if the owners close the mills daring the period of mediation to prevent violence, there is little hope felt here that the owners will accept the proposal. The spokesman for the aperators unofficially declared that they consider the strike a revolt against organised Government, and an effort to change the N.R.A. code provisions i through violence, and they would have no further dealings with the unions. After week-end inactivity, with most of the mills closed, both north and south, strike units prepared a reintensified campaign to make the closedown more effective, and peace officers prepared to combat them. Violence, perhaps more widespread than that of last week, appears to be inevitable. The unions claim that 500,000 will refuse work to-morrow, 50,000 more in the miscellaneous textile division next day, and 85,000 hosiery workers on Wednesday.
