WOMAN GIVEN PEACE CREDIT. Miss Weinstock of Laber Department | Spent Week Among Strikers. By the Associated Press. The t of Labor said last night that lement of the textile strike at Elizabethton, Tenn., yesterday was due largely to the efforts of a woman—Miss Anna Weinstock of Bos- of conciliation of the Labor Department. She succeeded, the department said, in h'mg( the uwv{km and employers to satisfactory Tms. In a telephone conversation yesterday with Hugh L. Kerwin, director of con- ciliation, she declared that the strike was over and that the employes were ing to register for work Monday morning. Miss Weinstock spent about a week at Elizabethton recently in connection with the strike, after which she went to New York for a conference with textile officials and then relurned to bethton a few days ago to attempt strike, e was not at liberty to reveal the terms of settiement.

While Mr. Hoover will leave this choice entirely with the members of the commission, it is au- thoritatively known that he would like to see Mr. Baker serve in this capacity. It is not known yet just how the commission will after its meet- ing at the White House Tuesday. There is a feeling that the members may re- main in ington for several days at least to complete the preliminary work incident to mt:pinl out its pro- :Illl.
