Gorman, the viv*e presi dent of the United Textile union, whose specific duty seems to be to engineer strikes by its members, is < threatening another genera! textile strike, despite the miserable failure of the one attempted last fall with its complete absence of support of atrik- . e? s from the national treasury, despite promises made to induce them to join the U. T. W. that in the event of their being called out on u strike they would be given support from the union's national treasury. In view of the threat of another strike, it will 1h? well for workers in cotton mills to ! post themselves as to the worth lossless of Gorman's promisee. That worthleasne$s is fully revealed .in the following editorial from the Textile Bulletin: In 19111, Fracis J..Gorman personally organized and managed a strike at the Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills aL Danville, Va., and, from I time to time, since then we have received reports, and heard statements, relative to the manner in which he "gypped'' the merchants of that city. In accordance with our policy of , never making statements until we have verified the facts, we refrained from publishing information which bad been furnished us, but a few weeks ago our editor was in Danville and made a thorough investigation and found that the facts, more than justified the rumors-. Calling at the office of Mahan &. Tyrcc, wholesale grocers, we met Mr. Mahan and ho stated the case approximately as follows: When the strike occurred ut the Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills in 19-11, the union established a commissary and Mahan & Tyree sold them groceries at wholesale prices. At first payments were made in cash but there were delays in making payments and about $100 was put on the books. Realizing that the union members had no funds and doubting the stories that large sums were to be sent from the North, Mahan & Tyree notified the union that no other groceries would be delivered except for cash. Francis .J. Gorman, who was the official representative of the United Textile Workers and in Charge of the strike, then showed up at the offices of Mahan & Tyree and in a grandeloquent manner congratulated them upon the assistance which they were giving tfhe union. Gorman said that it was fortunate for them that they were doing so because the strike was going to be sue- ] cessful and that all merchants who did not support the union would be boycotted and would have to go out of business. He said that he had arranged for $1,000,000 for support of the strike awd to take care of the union members and that the only thing that troubled him was the risk of depositing such a large amount in the Danville banks. Gorman did not register -with Mr. Mahan and was tokl that all that he said was fine, but that no more groceries would be sold except for cash. Francis J. Gorman then said in his most gramleloquent manner, "Let the boys have up to $2,000 and I will personally guarantee that every cent of the account will be paid." Knowing that Gorman was the financial representative of the United States Workers, a branch of the American Federation of Labor, Mahan &. Tyree accepted his guarantee and delivered to the commissary of Local No. 1085, groceries to the extent of $1,935. Other Danville merchants accept-1 ed the personal guarantee of Francis ,J. Gorman and delivered foodstuffs,! clothes and medicines until their ac-1 counts plus that of Mahan & Tyree totaled in excess of $11,000. At that time the union members became disgusted with the reports of the one million dollar relief fund of which Gorman continued to speak, and began to return to their jobs. Seeing that there were no more pickings to be expected in the near future, Gorman left the scene and has never been back to Danville. Mahan & Tyree, foolishly believing that the United Textile Workers would make good the guarantee of their official representative,- Francis J. Gorman, began a correspondence and received letters repudiating his actions and stating that the I>anville local was responsible for all debts incurred. Francis J. Gorman knew when he gave the guarantee to Mahan & Tyree that Local No. 1085 had no funds and would not have enough to pay any large grocery bills. Mahan & Tyree had refused <to extend credit to Local No. 1085 and only delivered the groceries when the account was guaranteed by the official representative of the United Textile Workers, Francis J. Gorman. "Mahan & Tyree brought] suit against twenty-two members of Local No. 1065 bat could not sscurs t not boon guaranteed by them. The mere haute of Danville still i hold unpaid, but guaranteed, accounts i amounting t-o more than $11,000 and one druggist who had extended a credit of approximately $1,500, was forced into bankruptcy when he could i not pay his accounts. The merchants of Danville were "gy-pi>ed." Francis ?). tlorman "gypped" them, and then slunk away. j Native Of County 1 Dies At Fayettesville! ?. . _ i, Jo>e\ Duncan Shuw, one of the few j, surviving veterans of both the Sjmn-1 , ish-American ami the World Wars, L imssetl away last evening at 7:30 in ] n local hospital from diabetic coma. \ lit* was the son of tliv late John | Duncan and Julia Josey Shaw of j ( Bishopville, S.
