Y.. Sept. S.—(AP) President Roosevelt determined today to name immediately a special board to inquire into and mediate the wide spread textile strike. The President acted upon the re quest of the National Labor Rela tions Board. He wili name a board probably of three members, and the personnel will be announced very shortly. The National Labor Board asked to withdraw from the strike negotia tions to serve in the capacity of a court of appeals in the labor dis pute. “From our knowledge of the sit uation,” said the labor board in a letter to the President, “we are satis fied that mediation looking toward a termination of the strike can best go forward by your creating a special board under Public Resolution 44, with full authority to investigate the causes of the strike and to propose a just basis for settlement.” Aside from this movement, however the President is contemplating no Federal interference in the strike, in volving thousands of workers. He un doubtedly will wait to receive the re port of the board’s inquiry. Meanwhile, sporadic violence broke out in some textile centers, but for the most part the first full working (Continued on Page Six) Arrest Os Ed Deaver Reported Raleigh, Sept. 5 (AP) —Dr. J. W.

Carter, the bank president, and his wife fror their home, and tying Carter’s two children to their beds. The three robbers invaded Carter’s home about 8:15 a. m., 45 minutes be fore the opening of the banV, and held up the family with pistols. The two Carter children, the eldr a 16-yaer-old girl, were bound to their beds with adhesive tape and Carter and his wife forced to accompany the robbers to the bank. En route there the leader of the tr* of gunmen, a young redhaired man, told Carter they were taking him open the vault after the time lock had made it possible. .

The article, which seems to have had wide circulation, was written by Editor O. J. Peterson, of the State’s Voice, who modulated his vocals in this instance to one eleventh of the State. The editor of the weekly pa per with the State name lit upon the governor, it is said, and him a lot of things about state politics. The thing that bothers the Ehring haus people no little is what he could have done about it. An executive ord er was not in order an dthe vote as it was taken was in secret. The first district did not walk out and defy the executive, instead it voted its sec ret ballot. The criticism of “Pete” as he is called by his neighbors, is all the more difficult to understand since the editor has resented executive inter ference no little and has given his newspapr talent t/> putting down all sorts of tryannies, intellectual and po litical. He championed A1 Smith in 1928 because there was a religious ty ranny at work upon him, as Pete thought. A*;d he is alleged not to have championed Governor Ehring haus because that gentleman was in some wise identified wtih a former governor “who sought to name his successor.” /* Anyway, if the State employees who have been favored with Pete’s obser vations correctly interprt them, Pete is funny in the role of rbuker of a governor who did not put on execu tive pressure. _ _ SEVEN COMPANIES OF GUARDSMEN FOR GREENVILLE MILLS All Factories in Greenville Urban Area Continue Operations During The Day OUTSIDERS DEFIED AT HIGH POINT TOO Socialist Leader and His Group Rebuffed There; State Labor Department Figures Indicate Strikers Less Numerous Than Re ports Had Shown Charlotte, Sept. 5 (AP) —Greenville, S.

Appealing for protection of work ers who desire to continue on their jobs, the Governor telegraphed in part: “Those who desire to quit work and go on strike will be proetcted in thia right, but those who wish to work must also be protected and left alone. “Reports just received indicate ‘fly ing squadrons’ on way to Marion, where workers are satisfied, with de clared inteention of closing down those mills. “Again I appeal to you to stop un (Continued on Page Six) Workers ' Defense Planned Washington, Sept. 5 (AP) Heads of the silk, woolen and cot ton Industrial organizations an nounced today that they would meet in an effort to effect a plan of defense against alleged intimi dation of forcing workers who de sire to remain on their jobs to walk out.

After the closing was announced, strike leaders harangued the crowd and shouted across the gates to the mill management: “Keep it closed. We want no trou ble, but you’ve got to stay closed.” Squadron leaders announced the plan to close “every cottno mill ini South Carolina.” _ ___ ,
