Textile Strike Called Off After Three Weeks
The three week textile strike across the cotton and other textile fields ended on Monday by order of the United Textile Workers Council. Roosevelt urged workers to return to jobs with employers without prejudice pending full settlement. Losses reached about 15 million in wages and business stagnation. At least a dozen lives were lost, including one in North Carolina. Governor Ehringhaus mobilized National Guard. 34 companies remained in the field at peak, with 2300 guardsmen. Demobilization was underway, and normalcy was expected soon.
