'STR|kE STARTED
 TEXTILE INDUS1RY
Lawrence the Scene of Another .. ,n Strike-Firemen Leave Factor
 ies and Machinery Stops.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. 1S.-The firemen employed in the textile man. ufacturing plants in this city went
 out on strike today and all the mills are closed excepting one, in which non-union firemen are employed. The other union men and women in that plant threaten to strike un- less the firemen are discharged.
 The firemen claim they are not be- ing paid living wage and that the own IFS of the plant are discriminat- ing against union men.
 Strikebreakers have been sent for, but the leaders ot the strike claim that if they are employed in the mills the balance of the men and women employed will leave the looms and the factories will be idle. On the other hand the operators assert that with the competition of the English
 made goods they cannot pay higher
 wages, and do not care if the entire force quit, and assert that when they ! do return to work it will be at great l ly reduced wages.

ID INVESTIGATE
 HIGH LIVING COST
Governor GIynn Invites Business Men and Noted Economists to Confer
 On How to Reduce Same.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 1s-Gover- nor Glynn, has requested a number of noted economists, the heads of the railroads doing business in New York and a number of state off cials, to meet with him at the execu- tive mansion to discuss the legisla- tion needed to reduce the high cost of living.
 The transportation magnates claim that railroad rates must be advanced or the companies will go bankrupt The men employed by the railroads assert that the cost of living is so high that they must have big wages or else they cannot make both ends meet. The same complaint, says the governor, is heard on all sides, and he proposes to have the big men of the state meet in the hope that some means can be found by which to low CT the cost of commodities, nabling the consumer to buy direct from the farmers and thus save the immense profits of the middlemen, which are added to the first cost of the goods
 The governor a.so states that he will favor public markets where the farmers may ship their produce, as sured that the money received for them will be sent to the farmer
 Investigations made by special az ents Of the governor has disclosed the fact that produce is destroyed in order to cause shortage, thus rais- ing the prices and resulting in large profits to the cold storage owners The farmers claim that they receive pay for less than half of what is ship ped to the markets in the large cit ies: they also claim that the cost to cold storage operators of eggs and butter and general farm products, is one-tenth of what the people pay when the goods are sold by the small retail merchants to the consumers.
 The governor will give the confer ence the benefit Of the information secured by his agents. showing that the farmer received but little for what he raises, but that the con- sumer pays high, and he will ask them to try to work out solution to the greatest problem which now con- fronts the American people

WILSON WANTS ALTERED.

In his inaugural speech, President
Wilson strikes a strong note Of hope
for the masses, covering the follow
ing matters that he wants to see al.
tered:
A tariff that cuts us off from our
proper part in the commerce of the
world, violates the just principles of
taxation, and makes the government
fac1Ie instrument in the hands Of
private interests;
A banking and currency system
based upon the necessity of the gov
eminent to sell it's bonds fifty years
ago and perfectly adapted to concen-
trating cash and restricting credits;
An industrial system which, take it
On all sides, financial as we'll as ad-
ministrative, holds capital in leading
strings, restricts the liberties and lin
its the opportunities of labor, and ex'
ploits without renewing or conserv-
ing the natural resources of the com
try;
A body of agricultural activities
never yet given the efficiency of
great business undertakings or serv-
ed as it should be through the in.
strumentality of science taken direct,
ly to the farm, or afforded the facili-
ties of credit best suited toits needs;
Water courses undeveloped, waste
places unreclaimed, forests INTENDED,
fast disappearing without plan or pros
pect of renewal, unregarded waste
heaps at every mine.
We have studied as perhaps 10
other nation has the most effective
means of production, but we have not
studied cost or economy as we should
have, either as organizers of indus
try, as statesmen, or as individuals.
If twelve persons were to agree
to dine together every day, but new
er sit exactly in the same order
around the table it would take them
thirteen million years at the rate of
one dinner a day and they would
have to eat more than 100000 din
ners. before they could get through
all the possible arrangements in
which they could place themselves.

JOANNA Mem


Our antiquarian seizes with avidity
the suggestion contained in the let
ter of Mrs. McManus. He sees that
there should be an effort made to
put in more permanent form the
fleeing traditions, the old memories,
and to call attention to all old rec
Ords in both of the Felicianas that
will throw light on its history. To
this end, we call upon all who will
to aid us in making public any facts
about the past of these two parishes.
We shall be pleased to publish any
thing on this subject, Or if there be
an objection to writing for tbs press,
we will put it in shape. AS a begin
ming, will not Mrs. McManus herself
give her own recollections of early
Feliciana?

FAIR COMMITTEE
SHOWS LIFE
Long Communication Finally Re-
ceived, But Very Little Said
Respecting Fair

At last The Record has re-
ceived a communication from
the county fair committee, but
instead of being filled with de-
tails as to what the people may
expect at Parowan in the way
of attractions, entertainment
and exhibits, it is devoted to an
effort to explain the commit
tees fair (?) and open (?) at
titude in the conduct of the
affairs under their direction.
The communication is as fol-
lows:
Editor Record:
That rhere may be no mis-
understanding regarding our
attitude. as a result of the art
icle in the last issue of The Rec
ord, entitled ITO the People of
Parowan," we shall appreciate
very much sufficient space in
your valuable paper for the fol-
lowing explanation:
Early In the season, the other
county paper started to talking
County Fair" and urging Par
Owan people to get busy. They
finally did so, and as soon as
they showed signs of activity,
the other paper asked for the
printing. and at the same time
it published all the proceedings
Of the committee so far as it
could obtain same. Nothing. so
far as we know, ever appeared
in The Record regarding the
Fair, or did that paper make
application for the printing, un-
til, after some time had elapsed,
and the other paper had been
promised the work, The Record
representative asked for it and
was tod that the other paper
had it, and that it's representa-
tive was then on his way to Par
owan, to arrange for same.
To make long story short.
The Record never asked for the
work until too late for us to let
them have it. We were probably
at fault in not writing and ASH
ing if it would quote prices. but
since it had never asked for it,
nor even mentioned that there
was to be Fair, it appeared to
be nothing more than indiffer-
ence on the part of The Record
until we were obligated to the
other paper.
There are some differences in
the article referred to, however,
to which we take exception,
for the reason that they mis-
represent our attitude. and facts
in the matter. That our actions
were not the most wise, is prob
ably our misfortune, but the in
ference that there were per-
sonal motives or that members
of the committee, or that the
committee as whole were
biased. we appreciate as an
insult unworthy of its author.
We admit that The Record
never received any communica.
tions from members of the com.
mittee, but that it's representa-
tive, at least, was in possession
of facts sufficient to merit al
least passing notice, we are
positive, but not a word about
the Fair was ever mentioned un.
til the article above referred to.
We regret that there is any
dissatisfaction. but trust that
the foregoing article will explain
our attitude and prevent further
misunderstanding. The Fair is
going to be the best ever. re,
Qardless of the fact that ou,
