Textile strike in progress as guards protect mills
Washington reports a 1600 mile textile strike front with a calm mood and bayoneted guards at mills. The Presidential mediation board led by Gov. Winant is expected to issue recommendations within 48 hours to restore peace. Union leaders authorize 129000 allied workers to strike in rug dyeing rayon and corset plants while some mills reopen under militia protection.
