5500 NEN STRI | A RATON L Traced to Dismissal of Union Workers. By the Associated Press. ELIZABETHTON, Tenn., April 16.— For the second time within a month the | rayon plants of the American Glanzstofl i and American Bembarg corporations | were closcd and 5,500 striking employes were idle here today. As in the case of the-previous strike | the force of Sheriff J. M. Moreland was | augmented by 130 members of two local | companies of National Guardsmen, | sworn in as deputies for ke>ping order, and are guarding the two mills. l i Adjt. Gen. Caswell Boyd of Knoxville, National Guard commander, was eX- pected to arrive this morning. The strike originaled in the Glanzs- | over the dismissal of union workers and | were reported to have engaged in a noisy demonstration near the Bemberg plant shortly afterward. They were | joined by a number of Bemberg workers | and officials of the two plants an- mounced a closedown. Strike Called Spontaneous. A claim was made by F. E. Muehlead- er, assistant to Dr. Arthur Mothwurf, president of the mills, that the. strikers entered the Bemberg plant and forced | the day crew from their machines. This ( was denied by William F. Kelly, vice president of the Textile Workers of America, who said the walkout was “spontanecus” in each instance. The | strike was brought about, he said. by | “complete disregard by plant officials of the agreement under which employes re- | turned to work after the first strike three weeks go.” Kelly claimed that 390 employes were dismissed by ihe two plants following the settlement, all union members, and that yesterday's strike was precipitated when members of a grievance commit- | textile union organizer, one of the labor Mothwurf were discharged. Dr. Mothwurf said that the new trouble came as a “distinct surprise” to | him and denied that effort was made by a grievance committee to confer with | him. Whether the plants would be closed _indefinitely depended on _the | number of workers who reported for to- | day's shift, he announced. H Five men were dismissed Saturday | on charges of drunkenness® while at! work, is was said. Twenty-five others | in the same department walked out in eome bonds will be proposed in ex- employes in various departments joined the walkout. Late yesterday afternoon practically the full forces of both plants quit work. Claims of Union. Union leaders at a mass meeting last Right disavowed that the strike was sponsored by their organization, but urged the workers to “make a real strike of it” until they gained their ends. Charges that the plant officials had not lived up to the agreement made by Kei- ly were affirmed by Alfred Hoffman, textile union organizer, one of the labor leaders recently “deported” from Eliza- bethton. Plans for continued picketing loday were announced at the meeting. GASTONIA DISORDER REPORTED. | | I Textile Strike in South Carolina Is Partly Reconciled. CHARLOTTE, N.
