WASHINGTON. Sept. 18— H'.P>— The executive council of the United Textile Workers tonight authorized the strike committee to call ah allied workers from their jobs if such drastic action is necessary to win the nationwide walkout.
The decision was made after an all day meeting of the council. Francis J. Gorman strike leader, said an additional 120.000 textile workers likely would be ordered to leave their jobs by the end of the week unless industry agrees to arbitrate the disouce.
Will Fill Ranks
If industry does not yield, Gorman indicated that workers in rug, dyeing, underwear, rayon, and ■ corset plants would be the first I added to the strike ranks.
The strike committee moved to i consolidate its forces tonight as i the mediation board rushed work j on its recommendations to Presi- j dent Roosevelt to end the walk- j out.
As the council went into session they received reports that the Pepperell mills, the largest textile i plant in Maine, had been closed I by picketers. The act added ! 3,600 mill workers to the estimated , 400.000 forced into id’eness by the

The situation presented an ominous possibility that nature might defeat the relief agencies in their efforts of rehabilitation. Winter’s ice soon will move into the harbor, cutting off Nome’s only means of getting supplies from the states.

If it were within my jurisdiction. I would have every student, old and new, purchase a book."

At Noon Today
A truce in rushing operations at the time of the General Alumni association's luncheon today noon has been ordered by the Administration. The annual luncheon for the welcoming of all incoming students is to be held in the women’s gymnasium.

“Every edition this year will have a definite theme.” Roberts said, "and the bulk of the issue will re-i volve around that theme. The first i edition will be devoted to freshmen and fraternity rushing, and 1 articles and cartoons along the line of this idea will be welcomed.”
Winning a position on the staff depends entirely on the ability of the applicant as shown by actual contributions of art or of written humor. For three years’ meritorious work on the staff a Wampus key is awarded.
Deadline for the first issue is Monday, September 24, and copy j coming in after that date cannot appear in the October publication.
