IMPORTANT STRIKE SPEECH EXPECTED Textile Workers’ Official Re- turns to Danville, Assuring Outside Support. Special Dispatch to The Star. DANVILLE, Va., October 25.— With the return of Francis J. Gorman, vice president of the United Textile Work- ers of America, after several weeks' absence, interest in the textile strike situation today diverted from the vio- lence aspect to anticipation of impor- tant statements the official is expected to make at an open-air mass meeting of union members tomorrow afternoon. Gorman's return today overshadowed current disorders the strike in which houses of mill work- ers are being subjected to fusillades of shots from pistols and shotguns at night. He declined to anticipate his remarks tomorrow and professed igno- rance of the long-pending “important announcement” promised recently by other union officials and said to bear on an appeal to Congress for an investi- gation of alleged conditions in the lo- cal mills. Gorman declared that finan- clal support to carry on the strike in- definitely had been assured. He an- nounced that arrangements had been made whereby representatives of va- rious unions would be sent here to take charge of nursing, child welfare and the prevention of disease. He stated that contracts had been made with large wholesalers assuring ample food, clothing and fue! subplies. A shipment by truck of 40.000 pounds of flour is on the way here from Salem, meats and beans and a large shipment of coal. donations of Northern unions, are to be sent. Another effort to secure a statement of the mills proved fruitless today. Bl = Unguarded Girls—Whose? Answer Monday, Little Theater, 9th & F. —Advertisement.
