TEXTILE STRIKE STILL ON.

WORKERS PREPARING TO REINTBNSIFY CAMPAIGN.

FURTHER VIOLENCE APPEARS INEVITABLE.

(By Telegraph-Press Assn.—Copyright) (Received Monday, 7 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.

Although the United Textile Union has offered to arbitrate in the strike issues if the owners close the mills during the period of mediation to prevent violence, there is little hope felt here that the owners will accept the proposal. The spokesman for the operators unofficially declared that they considered the strike- a revolt against organised government and an effort to ■ change the N.R.A. code provisions through violence, and would have no further dealings with the unions. After week-end inactivity, with most mills closed, both in the north and south, the strike units prepared for a re-intensified campaign to make the closedown more effective, and peace officers prepared to combat them. Violence, perhaps more widespread than last week, appears inevitable. The unions claim that 500,000 will refuse’ work to-morrow, 50,000 • more m the miscellaneous textile division the next day, and 85,000 hosiery workers on Wednesday.
