The strike in the sewing room of the Hardwick Woolen mills ended abruptly this afternoon, when Franz Daniel, unofficial strike leader and organizer for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, agreed to leave Cleveland at the request of a committee of striking The decision followed a meeting of striking sewing room workers held In Painters hall, the only labor union meeting place in Cleveland. The strike began Jan. 22.

When the committee called upon Daniel at his hotel room early this afternoon to inform him of the strikers decision, Daniel asked for time to consider the request and a meeting was agreed upon at 4:30 p.m, at which he would deliver his reply. After agreeing to leave the city, Daniel issued the foUowing prepared statement: "The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America entered the Cleveland situation only upon invitation of the striking employes of the Hardwick Woolen mills. We stated at the time that if a majority of the striking employes so desired, the union would assume fuU responsibility tor the strike. That majority was not forthcoming. Employer pressure and Intimidation was too strong.

"Despite that fact, the Amalgamate ed stayed in Cleveland as the friend and unofficial adviser of the strikers, offering help and support where ever needed. Speaking for the Amalga mated, I do not in any way want to interfere with the desires or wishes of the strikers. As long as they have asked me, the representative of the union, to withdraw from the lmme diate scene, I willingly accede to their request. Sees No Defeat. "The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America is not defeated In Cleveland in the present situation.

Representing as we do. 85 per cent of the clothing workers of the United States, we eagerly await the day when Cleveland clothing workers accept union support and union standards." Daniel said that the strike com mlttee Informed him of the action after the meeting, and told him they appreciated his efforts to help, but that in their opinion his continued presence in Cleveland would serve no purpose other than confuse the issue. Members of the committee were quoted by the organizer as saying they had not yet made known their action to the company officials and they had no comment as to their next step other than to go back to work, if they could. Called at his home after the decision was made public, George Hardwick, general superintendent of the mill, expressed surprise. He said he was unprepared to comment.

Bibb Graves tonight and lawmakers voted for final adjournment Feb. 26. Gov. Graves was expected to act upon the tax tomorrow. The chief executive declined tonight to say whether he would sign the bill.

Approval of the sales tax was regarded as a certainty, however, as the governor said concurrence In his executive amendment would remove my objections to the bill when he returned it to the legislature earlier today. Both house and senate extended day sessions without recess tonight, in an effort to clear a crowded calendar before adjounrment next week. Today ended the period for new legislation with 389 bills introduced In the house and 151 in the senate during the special session which began Nov. 23. Tax to Aid Education.

Dr. A. J. Keller, state superintndent of education, said the sales tax bill was a much better law than the gross receipts tax enacted earlier, and upheld today in Alabama supreme court. Three-fourths of sales tax revenues, after deductions for homestead exemptions are made, will go to education.

I am grateful to the legislature for doing so much for education, Dr. Keller said. "I have not been able to make an accurate estimate as to whether the revenues will be enough to cover a minimum school term. A tentative estimate indicates it will fall slightly below our needs. "In any event, Dr.

Keller continued, "the teachers will be paid full salaries for the session. If the revenues fall short I shall see that teachers are given preference in expenditures and spread the deficit over capital outlay, maintenance and transportation. Sales tax revenue, estimated at about 6,000,000 will be used first for replacing losses in state Income due to homestead exemptions. Three-fourths of the remaining funds will go to the state for education, and thq other fourth to the counties.
