JUST LOOK AT THIS! CONSUMERS
ARE BEING MADE THE GOAT AGAIN.
Anyone who thinks those WOOL
en- trust magnates at Lawrence,
Mass, are increasing the salaries
of their men, women and children
mill workers out of the generosity
of their hearts, are mistaken.
They are going to saddle on the
American people not only the
amount of the increased wages,
but every penny of the expense of
the strike.
"The public sympathized with
the strikers" is the slogan Of the
willy mill owners, $50 let them
shoulder the expense"
Before any wages were increas ed,
the wool trust magnates, who
have been making profits of from
6 to 75 per cent. on their invest
ment, decided to advance the cost
of clothing. AS matter of fact, the
consumers began to actually pay
increased prices for woolen and
cotton goods in anticipation OF the
increased wages to be paid by the
woolen trust magnates, before the
announcement of the increased
wages was made public.

like have risen in prices at whole

Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, March 81. When
a woman purchases $40 worth of
woolen dress goods, S4.S7 of that
$40 represents the actual value of
the goods and the remaining $5.t3
of the $40 the amount of the tariff.
In other words, should the same
purchase be made in England.
where there is no tariff on woolens
the woman would receive the
same amount and quality of dress
goods for S4.87 that she pays $40
for in this country.
This is because of the Payne
Aldrich advalorem tariff of 105 per
cent. on this class of goods.
When the Democrats came into
power in the House of Represen-
tatives they framed bill reduce
ing the tax on woolens nearly 40
per cent. Had this bill been per-
mitted to become a law the price
of woolens would have been re-
duced to every consumer in the
United States. But President
Taft vetoed the bill. The Demo-
cratic majority of the House now
presents the bill again.
The President, however, will
have less excuse to veto the meas
ure than he had before. He de-
clared the first time that certain
tariff board had not made its re.
port; and that to permit a reduc-
ton of the duties might make il
impossible for the woolen manu-.
facturers to "protect their work.
men,"
The tariff board has nowNrepcrt.
ed, showing that wages in the
wooden industry are las higf
abroad as inthis country in many
instances. Then There has been
strike of the wooden mill worker
at Lawrence, Mass, which has re-
vealed beyond argument and be
yond contradiction that the wool
J. \
en- trust magnates have been
fooling and cheating the publi
all the time.
The strike OF the $6, 81 and So
week men, women and children
in the wooden mills brought t,
light the fact that while the mil
owners have been declaring they
were "protecting" their workers
by giving them fair wages an,
decent working conditions, the.
have been paying them starvation
wages and treating them like an
X imals.
The last leg has been knocke
from under the wool tax argu
