Talmadge Invokes Martial Law for Strike Areas
FEAR OF DISORDER MOUNTS IN NATION'S STRIKE-TORN AREAS
aTT OF “CRUCIAL
WEEK CAUSES BOTH
SIOES TO PREPARE
Keen Unrest Is Felt in All
Strike Districts Over
United States.
MILLS REOPEN TODAY
National Guardsmen Have
. Control Generally in
v Most of Sections.
By The Associated Press
Fear of disorder mounted in the
nation’s textile areas today, while
11,000 national guardsmen patroll
ed the gcene.
Whistles blew after the week
end holiday, signaling the start of
a crucial week. Southern opera
tors) were determined to open their
mills. Amid a drving rain in many
sections, pickets took their posts.
The strike’s third week opened
with geattared skirmishes in the
south. A thousland pickets faced a
company of national gunardsmen on
a busy highway at Belmont, N.
C., shouting, “You’'ll stary a revo
lution.”
Troops = gradually forced the
crowd off the road. The demon
stration began after reports were
circulated that the Match Hosiery
mill at Belmont planned to re
open. ’
More troops moved tc the Geor
gia strike front, the scene of Geor
gia’s greatestt peace-time mobiliza
tion of state militiamen. Bayo
nets ringed mills in the Carolinas
Rhode Island, last week's sore
spot of the strike, was quiet, but
apprehension grew throughout New
England. The troops in Rhode
Tsland numbered 1,900. Militia
were on guard on Putnam and
Sterling, Conn.
The strike cut into the ranks of
Maine textile emploves. From 20
to 30 per cent of the 4,500 workers
of the Pepperel] Manufacturing
company, Biddeford, Me., and the
York Manufacturing - company, of
Saco, Me., joired the idle ranks.
In New Jersey, the Passaic val
ley’s 20,000 dye workers, forbidden
to sdtrike by a Chancery injunc
tion, worked in an atmosphere
charged with strike feeling.
A survey of eight states showed
that- approximately $37,000 — a
rough estimate — is being spent
daily for protection by state troops.
Gen. Hugh Johnson was con
fronted by g demand for his) resig
nation as NRA chief. The demand
came vesterday from 35 labor or
ganizations in and around Phila
delphia, who branded his attack on
the textile strike “false and mis
leading.”

NOTORIOUS KILLER
FSCAPES FROM JAIL
Alexander Kaminski
Awaiting Death Sen
tence in Mass. Flees.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass—(&)—Al
exander Kaminski of New Britain,
Con., killer of a jail guard in an
escape last October, escaped again
today from Hamden eounty jail as
a ‘policeman, especially assigned
to watch him, steod guard outside
his cell. :
Kaminski, who was awaiting
sentence of death ~in connection
with the jail guard’'s’ slaying, slip
ped from his cell in a manner as
baffling as any Houdini might
have employed.
First word of his escape came
to the policeman-guard when the
alarm was given by prisoners, who
saw Kaminski jump from a kitch
en window Bas ' they entered the
room.
The police officer on duty outside
Kaminski's cell found he had been
watching a bundle of clothing, ar
ranged in the cell cot to resemble
a man's form. ;
A har of the window through
which the prisoner escaped had
been filed through. How he reach
ed that section of the jail was net
known.
A few seconds after he escaped
through the <window, prisoners
saw him scale the jail wall.
The time of the escape was set
at 4¢15 a. m. (Eastern standard
time). P
State and Springfield police
were notified immediately and a
message of warning of Winski’a
bad record was broadcast to police
authorities thruoghout New Eng
land and New York,
It was his sevond escape from
Hamden county jail. His first, last
October, was made - with Paul
Wargo of Wallingford, Conn. Dur
ing that escape Merritt W. Hay
den, a jail guard, was slugged over
the head and fatally injured.
Wargo was found a few hours
after the break, near the jail, but
Kamingki was at liberty several
weeks. Eventually he was recap
tured.
The New Britain man was re
turned here and was convicted of
