proposition made by Eugene Withers.

employees Of any mill to petition for a
suspension OF the labor law so as to
the week and shorter hours on Satur-

law twenty years ago. argued the La

TO BOOM SPECULATION.
According to BristOw Aldrich In
creased Cotton Duties for Stock
Market Benefit.

Topeka, Kan, July 25.-In an ad-
dress here tonight United States Sem
ator Jos. l.. Bristow declared that
United States Senator Aldrich forced
an increase in the cotton tariff sched-
ules when the cotton manufacturers
in this country were not asking for
it. Senator Bristow charged that the
increases were made for the purpose
OF booming the stock market.
1T is interesting to know" he de-
clared, why Mr.. Aldrich insisted up
on increased cotton duties when the
mill owners and manufacturers testi-
fed in the hearings before the ways
and means committee that they were
not needed. But an examination of
the stock issues of the mills of the
United States for the year 1909 fur
nishes the reason. The increases were
not made for protection of any legiti-
mate manufacturers in the United
States but to boom the stock market.
Last year there were issued 100000
600 additional cotton and woolen
stocks, $64.oO0,OOO more had been
previously authorized. but not issued,
and $26,000,000 of new stocks.
How much Of this stock repre-
sented actual investment I am not
advised, but under the impression
that these increased duties on cotton
goods and the maintenance Of the ex-
cessive duty on woolens. would give
at least a temporary impetus to the
business, those stocks found a mar
ket. So the increases, therefore,
driven through by Aldrich, were in
the interest of stock gamblers and
spectators, and not in the legitimate
manufacturing enterprises"
