Preparations for general strike In the textile industry dominated the news, and cast fresh shadows of doubt and uncertainty over the financial community. If the strike, which seemed inevitable, were of fairly short duration, it was felt that it would not seriously Interfere with what autumn bus-ness recovery was In prospect, for inventories on hand are still sufficient to last some weeks, despite the reduced operations of the summer. Thus, if operations are generally resumed after a few weeks, it was felt that infills! ry might experience good rebound as result of an improved statistical position. lint a labor dispute of such magnitude was decidedly sobering in its effect upon the financial community, and hopes that it would not spread, were widely expressed.

Electric power also went off. Other factors held at or above June levels. the lowest since 1923. Immediate effects of the drought were noted in the rise of Dunn Sc Bradstreet's price indexes which are at the high point for nearly four years. Wheat, corn and cotton prices rose sharply.

July failures were the fewest and liabilities the smallest since 1920. Textile mill curtailment continued. Early July chain and mail order sales indicated a gain. Export trade rallied as the fiscal year ended. Motor buying of steel quieted.

July industry and trade were quieter, contrasting somewhat with the like month of 1933 with the recovery reaction at its peak. Heat and drought In the western two-thirds of the country and the strike epidemic were quieting factors.

The cot-ton jrtiUs of the country have long been weaving the skein of strife.

For decades strikes have been frequent. They have been, however, sporadic. Now comes the industry-wide strike. Gastonia in North Carolina, Lawrence In Massachusetts these and many other outbursts of riots and disorders were but local milestones down the road toward the showdown that seems near. Not only between the manufacturer and the millhand tias there been strife.

It has been bitter, too, between warring factions of labor. The United Textile Workers, the union that issued its general strike call today, is an American Federation of Labor affiliate. Often iin the past, this union has been battled by the I. W. W.

(known in the labor movement a5 and by the National Textile Workers, a Communist union. In Gastonia, in 1929, It was the Communists who led mill hands out onto the picket lines. This was one of the most sanguinary strikes in American textile history. While the Communists active, but a few miles away in Marion the United Textile Workers led their own strike. The demand among labor for a unified force to represent it textiles was voiced loud and long in the latter years of the last century.

In 1900, the A. F. of L. seeing the need of such, organized a few small groups into the United Textile Workers. For years, even before the advent of the Communist Into the American labor movement following the World War and the Bolshevik revolution in opposition to the A.

F. of leadership was frequently expressed In 1912, at Lawrence, there broke out one of the most riotous and, bloody strikes in New England mills. The I. W. W.

gaining the support of several dissident groups, elbowed its way into Lawrence strike. This was the "wobblies" first major attempt to break into the Eastern field. Previously, they were known primarily in the mines, the lumber camps, the wheat fields of the West. And their bid at Lawrence was successful. They took over leadership of the strike and eased out the A.

F. of union. The World war, with its criminal syndicalism laws and prison terms for anti-war agitators, stifled the voice of the "Wobblies' for years especially in the East. The fight, then, was between the United Textile Workers and the National Textile Workers. In more recent years, it's been the voice of the A.

V. of L. union that has been heard most often. Developments have given frequent rise to the belief that Communist leaders may have changed their tactics; that Instead of carrying on their opposition through dual unions, they are waging the fight among left-wing groups within tne A. F.

of L. unit. The absence of National Textile Workers' activity in the current era of textile disputes lends credence to this indication. In the earlier years, the disputes between labor and the mill operator raged in the main around hours and wages. The first chronicled strike In textile mills was in Fall River, in 1850.

The workers asked for a 10-hour day. The cause was lost. Lost, too, were dozens of strikes in the following few decades to establish the 10-hour day. strike by strike, the day was shortened and wages were increased. State laws also aided in this reduction.

In 1930, the average weekly hours of mill workers ranged between 48 and 50. But not until the NRA codification was there a uniform decrease in working hours and increases in wages. In later years, with the modernization of looms, there developed a new complaint among mill hanus against the so-called "stretchout." This was an Increase of the number of looms for each millhand tended. Unionists claimed the increase unwarranted; that as the depression years brought layoffs, the work of those retained was unwar-rantedly increased, sometimes to the point of the exhaustion of workers. The position of the operators of the "stretch-out" was set forth by George A.

Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile Institute and chairman of the Cotton Textile Code Authority. The modernization of machinery, he said, lessened the energy required to handle looms; and that the operation of more spindles today required no more energy or worked no more hardship. Complaint against the "stretchout" is still loudly voiced and an end to it is one of the demands of the United Textile Workers. With the advent of the NRA, the fight on hours was taken to Washington. It was clearly evidenced that NRA wanted a maximum work week of 40 hours.

The Intent was to spread the work. The manufacturers lined up behind such a move. The code was signed; the first In the NRA. From an average maximum of 64 hours the work-week was reduced to a maximum of 40 hours. Wages were proportionately adjusted upwards.

The looked-for spread of work was not up to expectations. The NRA then ordered a reduction to, In some cases, a maximum of 30 hours a week with corresponding reductions In pay. Once again, strife surged. The United Textile Workers voiced demands for the 30-hour week with 40 hour pay. This, too, is one of the demands of the general strike call.

Enter, too, the most controverted of NRA clauses Section 7A. The United Textile Workers have claimed consistently the right to represent the workers In collective bareatning. This claim, the opera (irnpefruit. Florida field boxes. 4S-2s, ordinary to fair, few Urnpes.
