INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGN
AMERICAN TEXTILE STRIKE LITTLE HOPE OF MEDIATION MORE VIOLENCE EXPECTED FORCES READY FOR COMBAT By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. Washington, Sept. 9. Although the United Textile Union has offered to arbitrate upon 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. A spokesman for the operators unofficially declared that they consider the strike a revolt against organised government and an effort to change the National Recovery Act code provisions through violence, and they would have no further daelings with the unions. After a week-end of inactivity, with most of the mills closed, both the north and the south strike units prepared a more intensified campaign to make the stoppage more effective. Peace officers prepared to combat them. Violence, perhaps more widespread than last week, appears inevitable. The unions claim that 500,000 men will refuse work to-morrow, 50,000 more in the miscellaneous textile division the next day, and 85,000 hosiery workers on Wednesday.
