Charlotte, Sept. 8 (AP)—The
South’s vast textile industry wa sat its
usual standstill today as mills were
closed for the week-end holiday, but
through the strike-swept sectors of
the Carolinas the movement of Na

Blackwood considered proclaiming
martial law.
In North Carolina, where a score
or more of mills remained under pro

men ,a constant stream of requests
for military aid in reopening mills
poured into the office of Governor
Ehringhaus at Raleigh, and it was
intimated additional troops would
probably be ordered out.
Meanwhile, the activities of flying
squadrons of pickets which had cruis
ed over the two states, closing mills
right and left within the past few
days, has diminished considerably. At
a few places the presence of the
squadrons was reported, but most of
them apparently had disbanded.

At Least That’s View

Forces; But They

By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
Washington, Sept. 8. Anti-New
Dealers are half terrified, half de
lighted by the nijection of Upton Sin
clair’s philosophy into the political
situation.
They are terrified because it is a
philosophy they emphatically don’t
like, and are afraid Sinclair, winnnig
the governorship of California, will
put into actual effect, demonstrate
as satisfactorily workable and thus
popularize. \
They are delighted because they
believe that Sinclair has a much bet
ter thought out program than ever
President oosevelt has had —and, if
he does win the California governor
ship and demonstrates his plan’s vast
superiority to the White House
tenant’s series of experiments, they
reckon that he will knock the under
pinning from beneath the New Deal.
Nothing could gratify Conseravtism
more than the New Deal’s collapse.
However, conservatism is fearful
that, should it collapse to Upton Sin
clair’s advanatge, it will prove to have
collapsed into something which from
their standpoint, is still worse.
