STRIKE NOW SEEN AS
ENDURANCE CONTEST
Raleigh, Sept. 18th.—Thirty -
six units of N. C. Natiinal Guard
had been called out on strike duty
to the end of last week, embrac
ing about 2200 men, all after in
sistence by local officers who
showed that local conditions in
mill areas had gotten out of their
control. In no cases were troops
sent when workers had gone on
strike voluntarily, but, as Gov -
ernor Ehringhaus has adopted as
a policy, only to those areas in
which mills have been stopped by
flying squadrons from other sec
tions who forced workers desir
ing to work from running mills.
The Governor insists that when
the majority of men in a mill
desire to work, their right to do
so will be protected.
While there had been many in
stances of intimidation and
threats, only in a few cases has
there been actual violence, the
most noticable being the explo
sion of dynamite both at Fay -
etteville and at Burlington, and
minor bayonet prickings by guard
men to keep strikers back in
Concord.
Belief now is, based on state
ments of labor leaders, that the
flying squadrons will stop their
activities, leaders claiming they
will direct their activity to or
ganizing workers in mills now
running and not organized. In
that case, the textile strike,
started on Labor Day, is expected
to settle down to an endurance
contests between striking em -
ployees and employers.
However, many observers are
not so hopeful, and fear that
there will be further trouble, pos
sibly even bloodshed, before the
strike comes to an end.
Governor Ehringhaus asks
that the attention of the public,
as well as the striking employees
be called to the definition of
“peaceful picketing” given by the
U. S. Supreme Court, hoping that
understanding it will prevent
trouble. It is:

men have a right to as free a
Study Club Holds
First Fall Meeting
The Study Club held the first
meeting of the year at the home
of Mrs. C. A. Wyche with, Mrs.
Wyche and Miss Susan Holliday

Mrs. R. P. Beckwith, presided and
opened the meeting with the col

Beckwith made a splendid talk
and presented some interesting
things for the club to accomplish
during the year. Two interesting
and instructive papers were giv

one by Mrs. R. L. Towe and the
second one by Mrs. Heath Lee.
At conclusion of the program the
hostesses served sandwiches and

the right of others to enjoy the

people, and the accosting of one
by another in an inoffensive way
and an offer by one to commu
nicate and discuss information
with a view to influencing the
other’s action are not regarded
as aggressive or a violation of
that other’s rights. If, however,
the offer is declined, as it may
rightfully be, then persistence, im

become unjustifiable annoyance
and obstruction which is likely
soon to savor of intimidation.
