The Union Officials Are Anxious to Settle The Strike in Concord TOM BOST ON THE SITI AHON Says Barrett Has a Hard Job-Slate Federation Not Kicking About ; the ' Troops Being sent Here. . W. T. Bo'st In Greensboro News. - .Raleigh, -. Aug., IS. State .troops chaperoning, the textile strikers in Concord today will bring less kicking from the State Federation , of Labor than any such action by the state has done since the memory of man began. ! Thereby hang a most, interesting tale. Usually the state's concession ot soldiers to manufacturing interests has furnished the federation with an admirable text ' ftr ' illustrating the readiness of the commonwealth to protect big business. 'The federatiop will not issue any such ukase now even with Jim Barrett's "constitution al" picketing involved. "President Bar rett has stacked up against the real thing for the once. ' For President Barrett is bead of the federation by grace of the textile vote. It had a big strength in the late state meeting at High, Point by virtue of the generous support given the non-working- unionists who were1 out for better conditions of work. By keeping the ' strikers supplied with money these members of the federation were able to remain In it by paying their dues to vote. Their strength last week defeated President W. F. Moody and elected Mr. Barrett'. (Major Moody took nearly all the votes outside the textile unions, it is said by his parti sans who are redhot about the tnrn of the convention. The textile men cap tured the convention and the two wing are about to flap separately. Indeed, there appears . discoverable hardly any sentiment offering help to the Concord strikers. , - V - vv I 60 far as Is known this Is the flrstloVhx k '-Monday time that such a condition has been found in the federation. Nobody here remembers ever, having observed the federation's Indifference to arty of the brotherhood out on 9 strike. The right to, picket peacefully always has been maintained and vigorously. The re probation of state troops has teen universal heretofore. But nobody here seems to care now. The textile union ists and the others are at odds. The fact that Governor Morrison readilv sent troops to 'Concord and thereby takes a part In local troubles, doesn't change the mind of the fedT eratloniots who are very much in clined to allow the textile men to He in the bed of their own making. There are rumblings of a great big break In the ranks. All the surface indications are that the Concord strikers have lost their fight which came at a most unseasonable time and reached its cli max aa the federation pulled its prize plcicle Inst week. Not that Jim Bar- rett. la acid, lacks rweetnesft Or any of the attributes of federation leader- shin. But the textile boys elected him while the others didn't and the others have been putting up lor tne mm men now: out. In other words, according v union men who- supported - Major Moody heartily , when he was not an active candidate for re-election, the textile end of the federation had driven the conservatives out and the textile members had; the federation. : They can take It now and do what they wish with It. They will have their present battle In Concord to fight afl alone. And ' many union men think thev lost it before they began. ; Which is a most abnormal state or federation affairs, almost a startling condition In this part of the wuntry. Especially so since less than a week ago the federation pledged Its support to men who were out fighting for a principle. 'But one week can worK a miracle. There is an indication of a grand 'secession; for a- short while when things will get back to normal cy- '7'i '. r"Ui;-r m r eeHng-; Against jaomson.- ' The', federation will not Tenounce the principle of peaceful picketing, of course, but It-will not ontte stand for swamping the body, With one set of belongers and there is quite a on 01 political Interest here right now. ; It is denied y now wings 01 me federation that there I ,any feeling against Governor Morrison, who has not conspicuously "recognized" labor.
