RAYON MILL STRIKE IN'STATE OF SIEGE Plants Operating Under Guard as Workers Hold Firm in Elizabethton. By the Associated Press. ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May 7.— The strike of rayon mill workers here lapsed into another endurance test stage today.

Opposition to the proposed rezoning of streets near Connecticut avenue for business houses was expressed by the Dupont Circle Citizens’ Association at a meeting held yesterday at the May- flower Hotel. One of the important functions of the association, it was said, is to pre- serve the old residential section as long as possible, and under the proposed re- zoning, especially on Twentieth, between R and S streets, the preservation is impossible, it was said. According to a report Washington has more property zoned for commercial purposes than any other city, in proportion. Progress in_ the construction work on the West End Market was reported. It was said that although many bids to complete the work had been asked and received, there were others that must be submitted before the work could be completed. Senator Arthur Capper, chairman of the House District commit- tee has been requested, it was said, to lend assistance in securing prompt action from the Commissioners in order that the construction may be finished. Parking conditions were termed “dis- graceful and deplorable.” The use of streets to park automobiles for long periods should be remedied at once, it was saild. The appointment of a com- mittee to investigate methods used by other cities in coping with the situation was urged, in a unanimously adopted resolution. The meeting yesterday is the last to be held by the association until October. WASHINGTON. D. C. TUESDAY.

Heads of the “Loyal Workers of Bem- berg” a non-union organization, said 200 workers were in the plant yesterday and that 63 per cent of the strikers were ready to return to work. Union leaders denied the statement and staged a parade in a driving rain to make the denial emphatic. Peaceful Resistance Planned. “A peaceful resistance”” has been announced as the policy of the work- ers’ union, but State, county and city officers were taking every precautionary measure to guard against disorders. Mounted . guards patrolled the streets and- prohibited loitering. Machine guns were placed on roofs of the plants and National Guardsmen with fixed bay- onets guarded all entrances to the property.
