The guilty parties were never brought to justice, Throughout the strike the mills allowed the strikers to continue occupancy of company-owned homes until December when there were tions. No resorted general to and eviction comforters was ever many were occupying mill homes today. Gorman Issues Statement. Mr.
Gorman's statement follows: "On September 29, 1930, local Union No. 1685, United Textile Workers of America, called a strike in the Riverside and Dan River cotton mills in Danville, Va. In taking this action it was fully realized at the time that economic conditions throughout the country, particularly the unemployment situation, made a protest of this kind on the part of organized labor inexpedient and untimely. "The decision to strike was arrived at with great reluctance and only after long and patient efforts on the part of operatives to find other solutions to the problem. Various questions at issue were temporarily "laid aside for future, adjustments and made the at this decision time to because a vital principle of labor was challenged.
It was the opinion of members of the local union that the mill management WAS discriminating against them because of union membership. "Organized labor would not permit without protest an infringement on inherent right of the American working man to go unchallenged. Predicts Recognition "During the long weeks which have elapsed, repeated attempts have been made by labor leaders to convince themselves of the attitr 'e of the mill management on this point but without success. However, during the past several weeks it has been increasingly plain, both from press statements from Mr. Fitzgerald and by the action of the company in taking old employes back into the mills in considerable numbers without raising the question of union membership, that this principle of labor respected.
We are further convinced that the justice of this principle will in the future be recognized by the company's representatives and will determine their pollcles. this fundamental principle no longer questioned, those especially charged with the interests of organized labor feel that the necessity for this strike no longer exists and members of the union are called upon to return to their work as promptly as places may be found for them. This action is taken voluntarily by the union with the hope on their part that the mill management will accept it as a measure of confidence and trust which in time may become mutual and enable employer and employee to view their problem eye to eye." The strike's end had been predicted for a day. Throughout most of today the strikers were voting at their hall on the proposal of Gorman that the workers return and secure their jobs if possible and pay to the union one dollar a week to ald in the support of those unable to procure work in the mills. The statement calling off the strike was prepared and issued at least two hours before the closing of the polls took place.
As C. S. Garrison was handing the statement to newspaper reporters, clash occurred between Gorman and two of them. Gorman made an allusion deemed offensive by Gerard Tetley, of the local press. Tetley struck him in the face and they traded blows.
William S. Meacham sought to separate them and became involved in a second clash. A chair was wielded by Gorman who was then knocked down by Meacham. Pollard Gratified. St.
Petersburg, 29 Governor John Garland Pollard, of Virginia tonight he was "delighted with the termination of the strike and greatly pleased over the prospect of so many unemployed in Virginia being given work again. "I have received no word from the commanding officer in charge at Danville and of course can make no statement until I have heard just what has taken place," Pollard said. Governor the withdrawal polaveracE of soldiers might depend on when the mill workers returned to work. The governor expressed himself as greatly surprised that the mill workers had voted to end the strike. Governor Pollard later sent the following message to Acting Adjutant General Waller, of the Virginia Nar tional Guard: "Informed strike officially declared off.

HEFLIN AND BLACK CLASH IN SENATE (Continued From Page One.) bama believed the charges were "merely a farce."

"I seriously doubt that any ballot boxes have been opened" Black said. Refuses to Reply, Heflin demanded that Black answer "yes or no" whether he was opposed to his resolution. Black refused, questioning Heflin's right to make such an inquiry.
Senator Moses, Republican, N. also clashed with Heflin when the latter said he would object to having Moses serve on the committee which heard his contest because he felt the New Hampshire senator would not give him "a fair deal." "I don't think that justice is what the senator is seeking" Moses said.

Atlanta, Jan. 29 statement that Major General Smedley D. Butler had sent in his resignation from the marine corps effective February 1, and has signed a lecture contract, was made here today by S. Russell Bridges, southern manager of lyceum bureau.
Bridges also said that he was present, along with Clarence White, lecture manager of Portland, Oregan, when Cornelius Vandebilt, in presence of Butler and others told of how Premier Mussolini of Italy had run over a child without stopping. Recounting of this alleged incident in a recent speech in Philadelphia today resulted in an official apology by the government to the Italian government and the citing of General Butler for court martial Always Looks Ahead. Bridges' quotations from Vanderbilt were virtually the same 88 those given today by White in Portland. Bridges stated that Vanderbilt that after the accident Mussolini observed: "It is the rule of my life never to look backwards. I always look ahead." Vanderbilt, according to Bridges, told the story last November in New York at a meeting of lyceum managers which was hearing synopses of lectures from a number of people who were seeking bookings for the 1930-31 season.
At that time, Bridges said, Butler had submitted his resignation from the marine corps. Washington, Jan. 29 and marine corps officials tonight said they had received no information on Atlanta reports that Major General Smedley D. Butler had resigned from the marine corps and signed a contract for a lecture tour. Secretary Adama said no resignation had been received from the general, Butler's aide, Lieutenant Lucian C.

Firemen said that when they arrived they could see persons on the second and third floors apparently trying to the flames and smoke by crawlescape ing along the floors, but actually creeping into the thick of the flames. The flames were discovered after all the patrons of the motion picture house had left the theatre. Fanned by a brisk wind, the flames spread rapidly through the building and soon enveloped the old-fashioned structure.
The entire detail of police of the West 68th street station was called out to keep the increasing throngs of curicus in check. An entire company of eight or ten firemen also were reported trapped on the fourth floor of the building. MILLS SAYS DROP IN BONDS NOT DUE TO (Continued From Page One.) and reducing the rate of interest on loans on the certificates. Both Kirby and Taylor urged early action on bills now pending before Congress to provide more hospital facilities for disabled veterans. The committee adopted a motion by Senator Harrison, Democrat, to open hearings on 1 them as soon as the present hearings are 1 concluded.
Before the House committee, Garner asked if the treasury had designed ways to balance its budget. "We are deeply concerned," Mills answered, "but we are not proposing an increase in taxes at this time." "It seems to me," the Texan persisted. "the treasury might be looking out for some way to balance its budget." "You wouldn't ask us to say in January." Mills replied, "what we will do in December." After Mills emphatically read the treasury plea for safeguards against the tremendous outlay the conversion of certificates would involve, Garner demanded to know which would be least troublesome if Congress decided to enact one despite the treasury's attitude. Mills responded that a measure by Garner would cost least. He opposed this on the ground that it would pay the veterans in addition to one-fourth of the value of the loan, 25.
per cent interest. Mills insisted this interest was provided by Congress on the stipulation that the veterans hold the bond for 25 years. "You mistaken about that, Mr. Mills," Garner told him. "The debates will show we added the 25 per cent for having delayed from 1918 to 1924." CELLOPHANE WRAPPED PACKAGES SEIZED Columbia, S.
Jan. 29 -Seizure of all cigarette packages wrapped in cellophane was ordered today by the South Carolina tax commission, W. G. Query, chairman, explained that the cellophane wrapper made it impossible for state business license tax stamps to be affixed, as required by law, in announcing that all agents of the commission had been directed to make the seizures. Cigarettes of a popular brand, manufactured in Winston-Salem, N.
have been found in the state in these envelopes, the chairman said. Wholesalers jobbers, attempting to comply prescribing the stamping packages within 72 hours of their arrival in the state, have learned that the stamps will not adhere to the cellophane, he added. The South Carolina tax is at the rate of 3 cents for each 15 cent package. RICHMOND SCHOOL FUNDS TO BE LOWER THIS YEAR Richmond, Jan. 29 Comptroller Landon B.
Edwards said today that the public schools of Richmond will receive approximately $122,000 less in 1931 than in 1930, due to reduction in real estate assessments and loss to the city of the tax formerly levied on machinery, Under the city charter, the schools receive 75 cents of the taxes levied on each 8100 of taxable real estate. The comptroller estimated the city revenues would be $9,725,000 for the current year, a decrease of $275,000 from 1930.

S. S. Raleigh in the Battle of Manila Bay. Relations between the German fleet, anchored outside, and the Americans became slightly strained through series of incidents. Coghlan had not forgotten that when he came back.
At a banquet in New York he arose and recited "me und gott." The German ambassador protested the reflection on the The rear admiral was demoted, reprimanded and sent to Bremerton, Washington. He was not court martialed, however. He died in 1908. It was another long interval to the Civil War when Major General FitzJohn Porter was court-martialed on a charge of disobedience. "Stonewall" Jackson and his rapier like thrusts at the federal army had something to do with it.
Porter Got Blame, General Porter was charged with ignoring an order to join General Pope at Bristol in August, 1862. About that time the Union army lost a. battle in the section and Porter got the blame. He was found guilty and was cashlered January 21, 1863. Some 15 years later a board of officers, convened by President Hayes, vindicated him of all charges.
A question of restoration to rank was taken to Congress where it fought out on party lines. A bill to restore his rank was passed but it was vetoed by President Arthur who held that Congress was without constitutional authority to pass such a measure. Porter later became police commisstoner and then fire commissioner of New York City. President Cleveland approved an act of Congress In 1886 reappointing him a colonel in the army. The order was dated as of May 14, 1861.
Anthony Gale, a lieutenant colonel commandant of the marine corps, was court martialed on charges of drunkenness and conduct unbecoming an officer in 1820. He was dismissed from the service. United States Apologizes To Mussolini for Remarks Made By Butler In Speech plied: "I have nothing whatever to say about any of it." The time for the court-martial has not been fixed, nor bave definite charges that General Butler will face been decided upon. They will probably be embraced in "conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman." Officials say there are no specific rules preventing an officer from criticising a foreign government, or a foreign official, Rear Admiral David E. Sellers, judge advocate general of the navy, prosecute the case.
The court will have not less than five officers, or more than 13. The decision must be approved by the navy secretary before it becomes final. General Butler will be given time to prepare his defense. Whatever the evidence, or result, the trial will not be without color, Not Unduly Worried. Apparently he is not unduly worried about the present situation, He spoke in Philadelphia again last night.
After relating experiences with the Marines, he said with characteristic humor that he would like to tell more but that he had enough to answer now. The note of apology was delivered for, today to Ambassador De Martino. He said he would send it to Mussolini. (Continued From Phoenix, Jan. 29 Vanderbilt, quoted by various persons as the source of a story representing Premier Mussolini as a hitand-run driver, declined to comment today.
"But, Mr. Vanderbilt," his questioner protested, "do you not feel you are putting yourself in a peculiar position by remaining silent at this time?" Page One.) "I have nothing whatever to say about any of it. You can say I decline comment, I won't talk, or anything you like. I don't care what they say about me, I have no statement whatever at this time." Rome, Jan. 29 Apology by the United States for allegedly derogatory remarks made by Major General Smedley D.
Butler about Premier Mussolini appeared tonight to have closed what might have developed into an unpleasant incident. While the premier was described being naturally somewhat annoyed, official circles said he considered Butler's views were those of only one American general and not of the American people. The promptness of the official American completely satisfied I Duce, it was said, and the evening papers did not even comment on the affair, But morning papers, issued before the apology became known, were incensed. La Tribuna described the Marine officer's remarks as insolent, impudent and ridiculous, Philadelphia, Jan. 29 very genial, kindly friendly address, delivered in a jocular is the way General Smedley D.
Butler's much discussed speech before the Contemporary club is described by the club's president, the Rev. Dr. Frederick R. Griffin. "General Butler spoke in a Jocular manner," Dr.
Griffin remarked, "and I think his whole address should be considered rather than a fragment of it, taken out of its context." Adequate Support for Community Fund Is Urged By Chairman Sites (Continued From Page One.) but will be ready for its second reading and passage at the council meeting on January 30. Work Greatly Increased "For the months of September, OcLober, November and December, 1930, the volume of work has increased 114.4 per cent and the amount expended for relief has increased 58.3 per cent over the same four months in 1929, which were already abnormal months. We cannot afford to let the relief agencies retrench. We must rally behind them at this crucial time." The chairmen explained that Community Fund in itself does no charitable work but acts as a fund raising and coordinating medium for its participating agencies. Whin an appeal is made direct to the fund, it must be referred to the proper agency, The report shows that 17.563 persons subscribed to Community Fund for 1931, their pledges amounting to 212.68.

"Over 3,100 more people subscribed, and approximately $3,500 more was raised for 1931 than for 1930 in a fourday campaign," said Mr. Sites, who is of the opinion that "we ought to continue to conduct our campaign in four days, or less if possible." Outstanding Services The following were mentioned as outstanding services rendered by the Community Fund last year. 5,944 days free treatment in hospitals. 9,062 days on part in hospitals.

No More Hemorrhoids All Pile Agony Ended Without Cutting or Salves External treatments cannot permanently end Piles. Nor does cutting remove the cause. The cause Is internal--bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel. The veins are flabby--the bowel walls weak--the parts almost dead. TO quickly and safely rid yourself of piles an internal medicine must be used to heal and strengthen the affected parts.
Dr. J. S. Leonhardt. A specialist, after years of study discovered a real Internal Pile remedy.
He named his prescription HEM-ROID, and prescribed it for 1000 patients, with the marvelous record of success in 960 cases, and then decided every Pile sufterer should be able to get HEM-ROID from their own druggist. Don't waste time on external remedies or think of the pain and expense of an operation until you have tried HEM-ROID. Patterson Drug H. C.

said: "If the mayor fires me, I'll be nothing after January be neither a marine nor a policeman. But I can still spit in their eye." Previously he had said: "cleaning up Philadelphia's vice is worse than any battle I was ever in. Petty annoyances have piled on me that are worse than the Chinese drip torture." After leaving Philadelphia he said he regretted he had not "pulled the mayor's nose" before he left. He then returned to the marine corps, all damned nonsense that 8 soldier should not hold public office," Butler once said in assalling politicians who opposed ex-soldiers seeking office. "A soldier is trained to do what he 15 told," he declared and went on to say that politicians "fear a soldier in office may do many things he la told by the people who put him there." Advocating military preparedness Gen.
Butler said that "no one ever heard of firing every police officer and scrapping the fire apparatus because we had a wave of honesty among Our citizens and all our buildings were fireproof." In 1929, Butler forebade enlisted men at the Quantico marine base to visit the town of Quantico until bootlegging had been stamped out. Just before removing the ban he said to the marines: "You birds took an oath to defend the constitution. Don't let this news stun you, but the prohibition law is part of it." Washington, Jan. 29 -As the navy prepared today for the courtmartial of Smedley Butler, the army harked back to the of another vivid personality, Colonel William Mitchell, the flier. The two men are much alike, daring, unorthodox and colorful.
Both drew frowns from their superiors for criticising high officials. In Mitchell's case, however, it was those of his own country. He came back from France a hero, convinced that the wars of the future would be fought largely in the air. Mitchell wanted a unified air service and more and better airplanes. His dissatisfaction with methods and attitudes he considered antiquated grew until it became an outburst directed toward the ears of the public.
Blamed Old Fogies. The flying colonel charged that air policies were dictated by old fogies who never got their feet off the ground. them for the numerous air accidents. Going further, he declared that the administration of the navy and war department was almost "treasonable." He was an army man and the army set its law court in motion. Mitchell was convicted in December, 1925, and suspended from the army for five years.
He resigned and went into business. Beyond Mitchell, officers memories of court martials involving high of the army, navy or marine corps are hazy. There is a tough of ironic humor John R. Bouseman. Martinsville, Jan, 29 R.
