TWO MILLION SPINDLES
EXPECTED TO BE IDLE
Manufacturers Alarmed Over Ten
dency Of Market.

BOSTON, Aug. In cotton manufac-
turing circles in this city it is expected
that more than 1000. 900 spindles Will be
idle throughout the North this month,
due mainly to the skyrocket attitude of
the cotton market. and the hesitancy OF
the purchasers OF goods to agree TO any
marked advance while any quantity OF
the raw material purchased before the
rise remains In the storehouses.
in the past week numerous announce
ments Of d curtajlment have been made,
especially among the smaller mills. and
1t is considered probable that many
more similar notices will be posted
within the next ten days. Several in
formal attempts have been made to have
all cotton. manufacturers enter a gen
eraI agreement tc shut down for a
stated period or cease operations so
many days each week for a time, but
owing to a large number of unfinished
contracts an IroncIad agreement was
deemed jneys cdient.

DR. Fl. W. Wiley. chief OF the Bureau OF

be absent several weeks
DR.. Wiley said this morning that he
was going TO take the trip as a yaca-
tion. but as a matter of fact he will do
great deal of work while away He
is especially interested just now in the
enforcement OF the new pure food law,
which prohibits the importation of adul-
terated CT mislabeled foods and drugs
into this country.
While in Europe Dr. Wiley will visit
a number of the cities from which are
made the largest exports to this coun-
try. and VIII personally instruct the
consular representatives of the United
States in, workings of the law and urge
them TO do all in their power to per-
suade exporters to live up to the terms
of the pure food act
The Official laboratories OF England,
France, Germany, and possibly other
countries VIII be visited by the doctor
to study methods and ascertain IL the
Europeans have any new ideas that
might be employed prohtably in the
Washington laboratory.
DR.. Wiley said this morning that no
cargoes which he wishes TO examine for
mislabeled or adulterated goods have
been received as yet. The cargoes he
desires to examine first are on slow
freight steamers and have not had time
to reach port since notice was given
that the law will be strictly enforced.
Declarations of cargoes are coming il
by mail each day, and large number
has already accumulated. but only few
cargoes will be examined. These will
consist of such cargoes as in the past
have been found adulterated.

OF CIVIL SERVICE
GRIMES IN KANSAS

Service Commission, with a statement
showing that Charles Drew had said
that the readjustment had no merit in
it, that politics had TO be consi1-
ered," and that Mr.. Wares newspaper
talk was for public consumption" The
names were given of eighteen clerks
who would substantiate the statements
and documents, but the only reply re-
ceived by Mr. Martin was dismissal
from the service.
Colored Coachman Appointed.
Mr. Martin then continues that Mr.
Wares colored coachman was given a
position in the Topeka agency. although
it was understood that the Civil Service
Commission had objected to his appoint
ment in Washington. The negro. he
says. is on the =. rolls as a laborer but
has a desk with the ether clerks. and is
doing clerical work in a poor manner.
This. ii true. IS directly opposed to the
recent campaign of the Civil Service

Tatum and Lieutenants Confer.

G. w Tatum, president OF the Inter-
national Brotherhood OF Bookbinders
was busy al his headquarters at Hotel
Fritz Reuter- yesterday, holding confer
ences with his lieutenants and with the
members of the arbitration COMMITTEES
of the local Bookbinders' Union. All
the papers in the Miller case have been
laid before the members of the execu-
tive council by President Barrett, of
the local union, and their advice has
been asked
Fearing to appear before the public
in false light, Mr. Tatum has coun-
seled conservative and careful action on
the part of the union He realizes the
proportions the controversy may and
probably will assume before il is
brought TO an end. and does not intend
10 allow the union TO jeopardize its po-
sition unless his strongest efforts are
unable TO prevent il.
No public announcement has baea
made Of the policy the union will pursue,
but it is believed Mr. Tatum and other
cfficera of the International Brotherhood
are prepared to conduct their case in \
calm. firm and dispassionate spiris.
They say they are confident Miller will
be removed after their charges against
him are heard. Strike talk has practi-
cally d:ed out
Talk CT an Investigation.
The union is considering the prospec.
of an investigation by Congress ints
the conduct of the Printing Office. Mem
bers of the union feel that no matter
how the Miller case is disposed of
enough publicity has already been given
to the situation at the Printing Office
to bring about an inquiry on the part Of
Congress. When this comes they want
the union to appear in as good a Iighc
as possible. and this accounts for Tho
conservative attitude OF the union men
at present.
In the meantime there seems to Ss
little that the binders can do bur await
action on The part OF the Government.
and there is nothing to indicate a panic
or undue haste on the Governments
part. Civil Service Commissioner Proc
ter has had a talk with the President
concerning the matter and Secretary
Cortelyou also has IL under considera-
tion. Mr.. Cortelyou will act for the
President
The union realizes that 1t will be din
cult for IL TO back down from the posi-
tion IL has taken at the Government
Printing Once At the same time con-
servative observers of the conditions in
volved in the Miller case are predicting
that the only possible solution OF the
problem is for the union TO modify its
rules relating to the working of uniou
men with non-union men so that they
will not apply TO Government ofiees.

Judge Advocate General Davis has
given the case careful study, and fur

The opinion the Judge Advocate Gen

through whom the gloves manufactured
by Mr.. Littauer were sold to the Gov

Mr.. Littauer and his counsel hold that

equivalent to their sale of the goods by
Mr.. Littauer 10 Lyon, and the subse-

Why Hearing Was Granted.

1t was stated on good authority that
Secretary Roots purpose in granting the
attorneys a hearing was that they might
