REGARDED AS REVOLT
U.S. TEXTILE STRIKE ATTITUDE OF OWNERS WASHINGTON, -Sept, 9. Although th'c United Textile Union has offered to arbitrate on the strike issues if tho owners close tne 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 the N.R.A. code provisions through violence, and would have no further dealings with the unions. After the week-end inactivity, with most of the mills closed, both north and south strike units prepared a reintensified campaign to make the close-down more effective, and peace officers, are prepared to combat them. •Violence,, perhaps . more widespread l hint last week, appears to be inevitable.
The unions claim that 500,000 employees will refuse work to-morrow, 50,000 more in the miscellaneous textile division next day,- and 85,000 hosiery workers on Wednesday.
