Strike at Jewel Cotton Mill Blamed on Lack of Contract
About 200 textile workers at Jewel Cotton Mill walked out after failed negotiations for a new contract. Union leaders say a 10 percent wage cut and higher workload triggered the strike, with 125 or more members voting unanimously at a High Point hall. Police reported an orderly scene at all plant gates as talks with management were planned for Thursday afternoon.
