WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT
Rev. John E. White to Become
Pastor of Church in Atlanta.
Rev, John E. White, of this city
Secretary of the Baptist State Mission
Board, last, week received a call to the
Second Baptist church' of Atlanta.
However, Mr. White informed rione of
his' friends here, and the first ndj
of the call came from Atlanta.
- .M'. -White arrived in the city this
morning and when seen by a reporter
admitted that, the call had been ex
tended but refused to make any state
ment as to hid intentions at ' this
time. '-.
However, the friends of Mr. White,
after talking with him today, declare
that he will accept the pastorate of
that church, but, do not think that
he will leave North Carolina until af
ter the Baptist State Convention.
which meets in Raleigh early in De
cember. It is considered .perfectly
safe in saying that Mr. White will accept.-
The Second Baptist church is the
finest building of that denomination
in Atlanta, is second in point of mem
bership, and is located just opposite
the Georgia Capitol.
Mr. White is one of the most elo
quent and influential ministers in the
State. He succeeded the late Rev. Col
umbus Durham as secretary of Mis
sion Board and has accomplished great
good. The Board will not have an
easy task in choosing his successor.

COTTON HILL STRIKE
Strikers Declare They Will
Not Return to Work Until
Union is Reorganized.
MILL MEN ARE FIRM.
Will Not Employ Union Labor.
The Mills are Still Run
ning. From our Special Correspondent.
Hl'RLIXGTON, X. C, Oct. 18. "It's
not a strike, it's a lock-out," is the first
thing one of the idle mill operatives
says when you ask him about the
strike. .The original trouble occurred
the latter part, of September in the
Thomas M. Holt Mill at Haw- River.
The weaving boss. Jim .May, hud some
trouble with a girl named' Annie
Whitescll over the carrying of rilling
to a loom. He discharged the girl
and she resisted somewhat when he
compelled her to leave the mill and go
home. The union of ojenitives then
sent a committee to the mill owners
to demand that the matter should re
ceive consideration, and some say they
demanded the discharge of the wen v
ing boss. The mill owners refused to
receive, any committee or to recognize
the union in any way. The miu op
eratives went, oh strike. The mill
owners saw that a symmthetic strike
throughout, the county waS threaten
ed, and determined to meet the union
question squarely at the. start. They
posted notices on all the mills an
nouncing that the mills would no
longer employ any one who belonged
to a union, and that after October 15th
all who ersisted in remaining in the
union would please vacate the mill
companies' houses, and seek employ
ment elsewhee.
The situation is not very clear at
present, because the mills have, ac
cording'to their usual custom, closed
down to give their operatives a chance
to see the Burlington Fair, which is in
progress here. .ot until the mills re
sume can it be accurately determined
how many men propose to stay out
on strike.
MILL OWNERS' VIEWS.
Col. James H, Holt said to The
Times: "We have issued our ultima
tum to the operatives. We do not in
tend to employ union labor, and want
thai, distinctly understood. We have
plenty of hands to keen our machinery
moving, and our mills will not be
idle." :.. ..'U :...::'., - :':.,-
Mr. R. L. Holt said it was evident
that the mill operatives and the
owners of the mills could not work
union were allowed to continually in.
terfere. "We cannot have pence and
the union, too, and we will have
peace," was his summing up of the
situation.
WANT UNION RECOGNIZED.
Mr. John Apple, treasurer of- the
Ilurlington union, gave the account of
the trouble at the Thomas M. Holt
mill that is printed above. He said
the employes of that mill struck be
cause the proprietors would not give
them a hearing. On October 4th the
mill owners posted the notice that af
ter the 15th no union labor would be
employed. They are now closed down
on account, of the fair, but as soon as
they start up again we can tell exact
ly iiow many have quit work. There
are at least, seven hundred union men
in Burlington, about three-fourths of
the operatives belonging to the union.
We believe they will remain members
and support the union, in spite of the
notice of the mill men. We' propose to
stay out,' until the mill owners agree
to recognize the union.
THE TWO SIDES OF IT.
All the union leaders in Burlington.
Graham and Haw River say the same
thing. They ha,ve no grievances, they
do not ask for higher wages or
shorter hours, but their demand is
that the union be recognized, and they
propose to stay out until the mill own
ers give the union recognition.
The mill owners declare that the
operatives have no grievances and
there is reallv no cause whatever for
any strike. They do not want higher
wages., do not nsk shorter hours, and
are satisfied as to their condition. But
they demand that 'the union be recog
nized. The mill owners hold that if
the union is to come in and decide all
ouestions between the operatives and
their employers, there will lie no com
munity of interest between them, and
the mills will be at the mercy of any
Yankee walking delegate that sees fit
to order a strike.
BOTH SIDES CONSERVATIVE."
As far as I can see, both sides are
acting conservatively. The strikers
had planned to get a bras band and
march around to the different mill?,
and gather the non-union men in the
procession as they went, but the lead
ers counseled against this. Most, of
the strikers wear white silk union
badges.
V 'BAD TIME TO STRIKE.
The strikers could not have chosen
a worse time to quit work. . The mills
are well stocked with goods, goods are
low in price and cotton is very high.
Until prices are better adjusted, the
mill owners would probably prefer to
shut down for some time, if they could
keen their help.
There are many non-union men in
the county, one mill, the "Windsor,"
working on full time with not a union
man in it. The owners declare that
they will ha.ve enough men to operate
most of their mnchlnery, and if they
have tojclose indefinitely, they will not
employ union labor.
-A GENERAL MOVEMENT.
Rumor says there is a general move
ment, among the mill owners of the
State to Bettle the labor question at
once by refusing to employ, union men.
Xotiees similur to. those posted in Ala
mance have been posted in Fnyette
ville, and it is reported that, mills in
many parts of the State will take
similar action.
