Strong-headed, the mill operators prepared to buck the strikers by a lockout. Dr. Arthur Mothwurf, president of the mills, declared that production would cease "until labor conditions became stabilized." Great was the anxiety of Elizabethton boosters who had seen the German rayon factories put their tiny town on the U. S. industrial...
...strikers and lodge them in the Gastonia jail for rioting. Thus did the textile strike in North Carolina (TIME, April 8) become rough last week. The National Textile Workers' Union is a Communist organization. The United Textile Workers' Union is a branch of the American Federation of Labor. A contest for control had flared up between these two. The Communist organizers had fostered the Gastonia strike, which now was not moving rapidly enough toward victory to suit the strikers.

Such transactions are far better dealt with in the sphere of regular business than by direct intervention...

"It is considered," reads a suave semi-official bulletin from the Home Office at Tokyo, "that great injustice would be done to nations requiring Japanese laborers if permits to emigrate were issued to palefaced [Japanese] town residents incapable of handling anything heavier than pens and pencils. . . . The authorities are very strict in granting permits only to those who can stand the comparatively hard labor involved by work on farms." Clearly this astute policy keeps pesky little...
