P. By Gua-\'dlan‘s Special Wire) WASIHNGTON, Sept. 3-The greatest strike yet to trouble the Roosevelt administration swung in- to its first day today free from bloodshed but with officials openly apprehensive lest violence mark the walkout. Actual effect of the first day of the giant textile strike was obscur- ed‘ by conflicting claims by labor and management. Hasty surveys, however, showed some 60,000 south- em workers idle and at least 75,000 at work. Francis J. Gorman. fiery little chairman of the union‘s strike, committee, said he was “more thanl pleased" by preliminary reports from southem sections where La- bor Day was not observed. He as-l serted “we‘Jl get into those sections’ where they operated today." F The 60,000 estimate from the II south was disputed by Gorman, who` said a check of his reports indicat- ed l00,000 participated today. An equally optimistic view of the* situation was taken by George A. Sloan, chairman of the cotton tex- tile code authority. He estimated 90 percent of the southem workers had refused to strike. “It looks as though a preponder- ance of workers in the south want- ed to go on working," Sloan said. Gorman and other `members of the strike committee were in high spirits as scores of telegrams pour- ed i.n from the field, announcing complete or near complete walk- outs of local unions. "Remember," he told reporters, "I predicted a 50 percent walkout tomorrow and from 85 to.90 per- cent by Friday. Just watch the tex- tile centres tomorrow." The major test of the union‘s strength, both Gorman and man- agement conceded. will come lo- morrow when mills in the south and New England open their gates to those wllo wish to work. Some 200 southern mills were Idle today, but of this number it was estimated that not more than 100 were closed by pickets, Some observed the Labor Day holiday, others closed rather than face pos- sible disorder from pickets. VIOLENCE FEARED walls the any passed without serious disorder, there was no dis- guising that fear of violence per-I a report from one local union. Out 100 percent but expect trouble from management." Governor .Tera Blackwood of South Carolina. ordered militia ready for quick mobilization and movement to any point where ser- ious trouble appeared likely. From scattered points came reports of possible clashes between strikers and strike breakers. Mayor Frederick Mansfield of Boston in a. Labor Day address de- plored the strike and advised work- ers to remain af, their posts. while at Providence, R. I., President Thomas F. McMahon of the United Textile workers told a mass meeting of textile workers that "we are go- ing to carry through in spite of hell and high water." From Columbus, Ga., George L. Googe, southern representative of the American Federation of Labor, reported that "the situation in the south is much better than was ex- pected." He said plans were made to transfer the organizers directing the strike to sections where mills' operated today. The National Labor Relations Board, thus far unsuccessful in all efforts to avert the walkout, made no new overtures today. It was re- ported to be studying the situation in an attempt to determine the probable extent of the strike. Should the walkoui; become general tomorrow, as union leaders predict, renewed activity by the board is anticipated. So far the administration has stood pat on its policy of supplying relief to strikers on a. basis of in- dividual need, unless the Depart- ment of Labor held a strike llnjus- tified. This policy had been attack- ed by Henri I, Harriman, President of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, and in- dividual industriaiists. Gorman reiterated today, how- ever, thai; regardless of adminis- tration policy "we have always taken care of our people in past strikes and we will sustain them in this one." As the strike committee studied its reports from the field, Gorman said a drive would be launched to- morrow to make more effective the waikout of some 250,000 employees i.n dyeing and finishing plants op- (Continued on Page 3) Commander Booth Elected Head Of Salvation Army (A.

By Guardiarfs Special Wire) TORONTO, Sept. 3-Ontario will invite all Canadian provinces to co-operate in formation of a na- tional code for industry which will be enforceable by law. Attorney- General Arthur Roebuck of On- Itnrio told the gathering of trade unionists at the Canadian National ll-Uxhibition today, The code would ‘be similar to the one the ontario government hopes to obtain through conferences of employers and employees. _ Mr. Roebuck declared such a. code would do much to raise labor stand- ards and give stability to industry. It would include a national flexible minimum wage, applying to men and women. His address was the first in his capacity as Minister of Labor. He declared at every employer- employee conference there was "a mummy at the feast or skeleton in the closet" in the person of the mployer who refused to join others and continued unfair or sweat-shop practices This employer blocked attempts to improve labor stand- ards and wages. but the govem- ment planned to implement legis- lation which would enforce labor codes when they were endorsed by the majority. “Having obtained the endorsation of the majority we propose to give it enforcement by law and force- it on the unwilling employer," he continued amid applause. “The greatest enemy the employee has is the sweatshop employer." Unifomi labor conditions would benefit employers as they would stabilize industry. He declared it was a. fact needle trade firms and others were leaving Toronto for Quebec andlittle towns because of the chaotic conditions of labor in Toronto. The firms moved to where workcrs were less independent and conditions more stable but this movement would end when .labor conditions and wages were regulat- cd. "I believe these standards should be nation wide, that all provinces should agree upon them." Mr. Roe- buck said, "On Saturday I dictated letters to the Prime Ministers of all the provinces to join in a confer- ence with myself and Mr. Marsh :David Marsh.
