Raleigh. Sept. 26.—Although the ef
forts of Governor O. Max Gardner to
end the textile strike still in progress
in Rockingham have not succeeded as
yet. the opinion is stronger than ever
here that he has pursued a wise course
and that he has done everything he
could do to end this strike, both with
in his legal and moral powers. In fact,
the conviction here among thoee who
have followed the governor’s efforts
is that the responsibility for the con
tinuation of the strike rests squarely
upon the mill owners, and that the
strike would now be over if these
owners had been willing to meet their
employes and the governor anywhere
near half way.
Governor Gardner has had nothing
to say concerning the strike situatiop
since bis statement of Saturday in
which he announced that his offe rto
arbitrate the strike had been declined
by W. B. Cole, president of the Han
nah Pickett Mills, and by George Ent
wistle. president of the Entwistle
Mills. But it is known that he i- deep
ly disappointed at the refusal o' these
two mill heads to even try to wrM'rate
whatever differences still exist and
thus bring an end to a situation that

Genova, Sept. 26.—( AIM— The
disarmament conference huiVau,
having failed to Induce Germany
to participate in its deliberations,
adjourned today until October 16,
without discussing Germany’s de
mand for armed equality.
The League of Nations is a defen
dant "at the bar of public opinion,"
President Eamnn de Valera, of the

session of the League’s Geneva As
sembly, "and there Is upon it a bur
den of justification which is over

Recounting prevalent accusations of
the League’s weakness, de Valera said
the only way to silence the critics who
charge it is impotent of decadent is
to execute the obligations of the Lea
gue covenant no all states, whether
weak or strong.
The criticism, much of which he
called justified, come from all sides,

Asserting the world public is large

the critics would have confidence on

Washington, Sept. 26—(AP) Gov

as opposed to payment of the soldiers
bonus, as stated by R. W. Woolley,
former Interstate Commerce Commis
sioner and member of the 1916 and
1924 national committees.
Woolley wrote George n. Chunt, of
Lexingtqn, Ky., that the Democratic
presidential candidate is “on record as
holding that payment of the bonus
forthwith is non feasible.
Wooley said Governor Roosevelt i
stated his views on the soldiers bonus
in a copyrighted interview published
in a number of leading newspapers
last April 23 and quoted him as fol
lows from the New York Times:
"I don’t see how. as a matter of
practical sense, a government running
behind (2,000,000,000 annually can con
sider the anticipation of bonus pay
ments until it has a balanced budget,
not only on paper but a surplus
of cash in the treasury. In other
words, the household books that are
now in the red should be put in the
black."
