TEXTILE STRIKE VICTIMS. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] NEW YORK, September 12. There was an announcement at Washington to-day that the President’s Board had abandoned immediate hopes of arbitrating in the textile strike. With this announcement, the Union leaders declared that they were prepared for a long siege. Meanwhile violence of a serious nature has occurred in many sections. Four were shot, and probably were fatally injured, by troops in a continuation of yesterday’s rioting at Saylesville, in Rhode Island. An aeroplane, that, was carrying an emergency supply of tear gas bombs from Pittsburg to Rhode Island, crashed, and the pilot was killed. Three men were severely beaten, and two automobiles were wrecked- when strikers attacked the millers’ guards in Pennsylvania. Disturbances have also occurred in the States of Maine, Connecticut, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Governor of Rhode Island read the Riot Act, thus virtually placing the smallest State under martial law.
