Trouble In Spring
Washington, Jan. 18 (AP) Textile
union leaders, an authoritative source
disclosed today, are setting up a far
flung organization in preparation for
another general strike call this spring,
j Although no statements are made
about it publicly yet, labor leaders
privately voiced the prediction that the
walkout will be more serious than the
midespread strike last September.
Comment from government officials
or spokesmen for the industry was
not immediately forthcoming.
The organization is being directed
by Francis J. Gorman, first vice-pres
ident of the United Textile Workers.
Gorman, an advocate of long range
planning, has followed the same
course he pursued before the paralyz
ing strike of last fall by setting up in
advance regional strike committees,
charting a course of action in locali
ties, and launching a quiet drive for
a “war chest.”

It was referred to the committee on

Although some four or five bills
have already been introduced to re
duce the automobile license fee on
passenger cars to $5. it is not expect
ed that any of those bills will pass,
since they would cause a loss in high
way revenue of about $3,500,000 a year
and most opinion here is that the

a loss in revenue.
