There has been freq uent violence, and the North Caro lina national guard is on the scene. This is not the biggest or most violent textile strike in history, hut its effect on southern industry may be treat. By JOSEPH C. KOENENN UPI Correspondent Henderson, N.C. - (CPD - The size of labor's say in operating the south's textile mills is be ing shaped by a strike which has torn this small eastern North Carolina community since last fall. "Our future in the south depends on the outcome of this strike," says the union involv ed - the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA). Textile industry leaders say the outcome will determine who will run textile mills -management or labor. Strikers walked out at the two Harriet-Henderson cotton mills last Nov. 17. Violence broke out three months later when the mills reopened with non-strikers. The highway pa trol was sent in Feb. 15 to guard the re-opening and re inforced a week later. Gov. Luther H. Hodges entered ne gotiations March 21, then an nounced April 2 that his ef forts were unsuccessful. Hodges Announced Settlement On April 17 Hodges went to Henderson, met with union and management, announced a settlement. The union approv ed the contract April 19, then the next day accused the mills of misrepresenting job rights and refused to sign. Hodges pulled out the highway patrol May 8. Violence brought a re quest for aid from local au thorities. The national guard was ordered to Henderson May 12 and is still there. Some 1,200 strikers are in volved, a n relatively small erouD in the textile industry. Yet it is a battle which affects the entire industry. It's being fought in a town of onlll,000 population. Na tional guardsmen patrol the streets. Neighbors no longer speak to each other.

The- argument is arbitration -whether someone who is neither management nor labor can decide what should be done when management and labor can't agree. Arbitration Key Issue The union has had an arbi tration clause in its contract at the Harriett-Henderson cot ton mills here for 14 years. Last year the mills refused to renew such a clause. This led to the strike. It is not the biggest or the most violent t textile , strike. Whencompared to the 1929 Gastonia, N.C, strike in which a police chief was killed. " But unlike its predecessors, the Henderson strike is not a fight brought ajoout by the union demanding more con cessions. This time it is man agement fighting for more say. , ' John D. Cooper, a slight, in his late 60's, scooped man ii owns the mil's. "I think the people who are operating the plants realize that they can't stay in business and let the union 4ak over management," he lays. Most of the ftrikers' bitter ness directefi at the non strikers and netional guards men. The trigers think Coop er is beuuj "used" by the tex tile industry in f "conspir acy" to brea" tht union.

Watkins It Isn't Progress To Remove Shade Trees Unfortunate indeed is the tree that grows beside a vil lage or city street, or along a highway. Probably it has held its branches outstretched in summer's sun and winter's cold for half a century. But now times have chang ed. Now it has an exceedingly precarious future. Chances are it is in the way, or soon will be. It will 'have to be destroyed in order towiden the street, or to make room for an unsightly utility pole. And all this will be called "progress." We overwork this "prog ress" business. Real, honest-to-goodness progress would be the elimination of all ugly utility poles, with the wires buried out of sight under ground. The old shade trees are often cut down to make room for a building, ' com pletely forgetting" that any building that man has ever made, or ever will build, loses its beauty, its usefulness or its style after a couple of decades. a SO Year's Span Even those imposing struc tures we so stupidly claim will "stand as a monument forever" will have- outlived their usefulness in 50 years. They will be old-fashioned, obsolete; may even be con demned. Then a new, modern building will be built in its place, only to be replaced itself within another half cen tury or less. Yet a tree twice .or ten times as old may retain its freshness, symmetry and use fulness. It is a living thing, something a greal deal more wonderful than any structure or machine that man will ever make.

They've Had Their Way Those who made a profit by cutting down ,the tree, or the company which gets tha contract for the paving, or the politician who receives credit for modernizing tha community 'have had their way. -: ' . - Doubly pathetic is tha aafl plight of , the grove, or the lone tree that is destroyed, that an unsightly billboard can be erected in its place. And all billboards, no matter what they advertise, are un sightly. Time was, and not so long ago either, when many vil lages and cities proudly claimed, "shady, peaceful streets, lined with shade trees" where children played and leaf-mosaics dappled vide lawns with dancing lights and shadows. - Thosa streets are broader now and hotter, in the sum mer sun, for most of the old shade trees have been sacri ficed to gain another couple of feet of pavement. The "face of America" changes.
