Work is now national chairman of the campaign. While the real reasons for the as- sumption of personal power by Hoover are carefully disguised, it has long been apparent that the j hard-boiled campaign strategists in the republican camp had become disgusted with Work’s too easy go- jing style.

Now the mill owners are openly expressing their belief in the “sin- cerity” of the council officials, and are ready to confer. The probable course of action, observers declare, will be to reach a settlement with Batty and then try to break the strike with the aid of the A. F. of L. officials and a newly intensified police terror against the T. M. C. picket lines. The continually growing influ- ence and prestige of the Textile Workers’ Union of the T. M. C. re- ceived new powerful impetus in the last few days’ developments. An obvious process of disintegration is easily evident in the ranks of the Textile Council. Many more mem- bers of that union joined the T. M, C. outright, and even those remain- ing show their disgust with their misleaders by threats of revolt in the U. T. W. locals. The New Bedford Times, which strongly favors the Frieder plan, ; states: “Some believe that the manufac- turers would not agree to a settle- ment on this basis, because they have no assurance that such ‘a set- tlement would be supported by the operatives themselves in spite of its approval by the Textile Council strike committee. Even though the specialization system, which has been advanced as the basis of set- tlement is not the system which is |known as the speed-up, the opera-|; tives such.” appear to understand it as rrest 806 U.S. S.
