THE TEXTILE STRIKE.
OFFER OF ARBITRATION. UNION’S CONDITIONAL PLAN. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. Although the United Textile Union has offered to arbitrate on 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 consider the strike a revolt against organised government and an effort to change N.R.A. code provisions through violence, and would have no further dealings with the unions. After a week-end of inactivity with most mills closed, both north and south strike units prepared for a reintensiiied campaign to make the close-down more effective, and peace officers prepared to combat them. Violence perhaps more widespread than last week appeal's 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.
