ATLANTA, Ga—(&)—Governor

Georgia was higher than other‘
states,” the governor said, “I
called the Washington officials on

asked if the question of repeal

Defying the strike call of the United Textile Workers of America, numerous Georgia cotton mills started
back to work under the protecting guns of state militia or civil guards. The line of heavily armed guards
shown in top picture, extended beside a plant of the Bibb Manufacturing company in Macon, Ga., which
employed 300 men to ward off “flying squadrons™ of strikers. Only minor disorders attended the reopening.
Obeying of the old axiom, “fight fire with fire,” Adjutant General Lindley W. Camp of Georgia organized
his own “flying squadrons” of national guardsmen and set out to reund up “flying squadrons” of textile
strikers who sought to keep cotton mills from operating. A squad of militiamen is shown at the left just
after it captured the squadron of strikers at Newnan, Ga. The latter were brought to Atlanta for inter
ment near Fort McPherson under authority of martial law. (Associated Press photos.)

WASHINGTON — (#) — A tacit

Versallies treaty in the sale of air
’crett equipment to Germany re
ceived the attention of the senator
jal munitions inquiry today.
. The State department, investiga

circumvention by American con
cerns of the treaty provislons de
signed to restrict the re-armament
of the Reich. The department cir
culated to all American aireraft
companies doing foreign business g
definition of the treaty provisions.
This was interpreted as an ae
tempt to prevent violations of the
World War peace pact, to whicb‘
the United States is not a signatory.
The disclosure came soon after
revelations that the United Aair
craft Export corporation has sola
more than a million dollars worth
of airplanes, engines and equip
ment to the Reich so far in 1934
Against the contentions of com
mitteemen that the materials were
destined for a place in the wvast
re-armament plans attributed to
the Hitler regime, company offi
cials insisted the equipment was
sold for commercial purposes.

CAMP NEAR ATLANTA—(&)—
The once “flying squadron” of tex

16 women, today began their first
full day in this barbed-wire en
closed camp.
World war days were recalled
by persons who remembered that
it was near this same site that
Geérmans were interned.
A policewoman, loaned the mili
tary by Chief of Police Sturdivant
of Atlanta, made her appearance
to care for the women, Separate
bousing facilities have been pro
vided.
Adjutant General Lindley Camp,
whose “flying squadron’” of militia
brought the strikers here from
Newnan late yesterday, said today
he had no idea how long the strik
ers would have to remain in this
enclosure.
But, the adjutant general sald,
they will be here until all strike
troubles are over in Georgia.
Any trials, Camp said, will be
by military court. .
The military was preparing to
make the prisoners as comfort
able as Dpossible. The enclosure
‘has sufficient facilities to care for
many more, if they are interned.
General Camp reiferated that
the military is determined to stop
“fiying squadrons,” and that when
other arrests are made the prison
ers will be brought here to be de
tained pending final settlement of
textile difficulties.

Wednesday s
ATLANTA, Ga.—(P)—Two addi

swung into action on the Georgia
textile strike front today as more
mills, vnder protection of Gover
nor Eugene ‘Talmadge’s martial
law decree, resumed operations. -
Two Macon guard umits were
sent into textile areas outside
Macon. Company B went to Aus

company mill there, and Company
C into the textile area at Cedar
town. Both companies are in the
121st Infantry regiment.
Adjutant General Lindley Camp’s
flying squadron of militiamen
swept into nearby East Point this
morning to protect workers desir

Piedmont mills there. 4
The “fiying squadron” was the
same that swooped down at New

and brought 128 of them to At

the 128 were women. Th b
Conflicting Claims
Meanwhile, conflicting claims
were advanced at the end of the
first day of state-wide military
protection for the textile mills.
T. M. Forbes, secretary of the
Cotton Manufacturers association
of Georgia, in a statement last
night said 26 mills opened yester
day with a total of 696,722 spin
dles. He said approximately 15,008
workers normally are employed im
these mills.
However, a report was received
in Washington at strike head
quarters from George Googe, At
lanta, regional American Federa
tion of Labor representative, that
the militia activities had brought
about the opening of only 10 mills.
