Sensible Talk to
Workingmen. . . Barrett Tells Them That Lawlessness Operates Against the Union.
. . Gov. Bickett Arrives
High Point, Sept. 13—Governor Thomas W. Bickett, who arrived
here last night for a series of conferences with labor leaders and manufacturers
following the lock out of their employees, was in conference with the
manufacturers this afternoon following one with the workmen and their
representatives this morning. No statement has been made by either side but it
is believed that one will be given out late this evening.
The lockout is the result of the refusal of the employers to
recognize the union and their affiliated organizations, and their decision to
close their plants rather than to do so.
The conference was the result of the suggestions of James F.
Barrett, the labor leader from Asheville. It is estimated that as many as 4,000
men are idle on account of the lockout.
