long about sending them into the field.
He discussed the situation during the
night with town officials in whose dis-
tricts disturbances lune occurred and
today held conferences with repre-
sentatives of mill managements.
The strikes. which have caused the
closing of a. score of plants. most of
them makers of cotton cloth. were
called as a protest against the action
of the managements in imposing wage
cuts of twenty per cent. recently. Somo
of the walkouts were unanimous:
others followed demonstrations in
front of the mill gates by groups .who
marched from one to another of the
mill villages that make up the cotton
manufacturing districts. Officials of
both the l'nited Textile Workers of

the situation. but without report of
