as result, cotton hosiery manufac-

Profits in various parts of the
country are shown to vary greatly.
Sixteen mills in the South are mix

says, of as many mills in Pennsyl-

The report finds fault with a re-
tail system that forces manufacturers
Ito produce an article selling at al

says, does not permit raise Of al

forces the manufacturer to sell more

PLAN fight ON
VICE IN STATE
CRUSADERS WANT
NEW LAW ENACTED BY
LEGISLATURE.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 27.-To abol-
ish commercialized vice in every city
and town in Kentucky is the plan
which the members of the Lexington
Vice Commission hope to carry out
| by having the Legislature at its APP
preaching session enact into State
6laws the provisions of the anti-vice
ordinances which went into effect al
few days ago in this city and which
liz is declared, have already obliter-
lated the old segregated district.
The announcement that the Legis-
|lature would be asked to take up al
Estate reform OF this character was
brought out at conference held to-
day by Mayor ]. e. Cassidy and Chief
of Police Jerry Reagan to consider
the steps to be taken in the event the
|anti-vice ordinances should be de-
!clared illegal in the test case filed in|
the Circuit Court yesterday.
The city officials say they have lit
tie fear of the courts deciding adver-|
|sely to the ordinance and Mayor
Cassidy declared that so confident
|are the advocates of the ordinances
Iof their legality and effectiveness
THAT members of the Lexington Vice.
Commission who led the movement!
which resulted in the passage of the
ordinances, have signified ther in-|
|tention of going before the next Ken
lucky Legislature and having the|
main provisions in the twin anti-vice|
ordinances incorporated into a bill
which it is hoped will be enacted into|
+, law by the incoming Legislature
Mayor Cassidy stated that even if the|
|anti-vice ordinances were Knocked
,ut by the courts the present KEN
lucky statutes give ample power to|
Keep the redlight district closed.
Chairman George r. Hunt, of the|
Lexington Social Hygiene Committed
which Will be the successor of the|
Lexington Vice Commission, said to-
hight that the Lexington organiza-|
|tion will act with the Louisville Vice|
Commission in the matter, and theI
outline before the Legislature will bel
agreed on by the two bodies If theI
present Intentions were carried OUT
Mr.. Hunt stated however, that the|
proposed bill, instead of being model
led on the anti-vice ordinances, will
probably be in the shape Of an abate-|
|ment and injunction law such as is,
lin effect in a number Of states, and,
(which ID considered the most salts,
factory method Of eliminating COM,
|mercialized vice, and if it becomes al
law will remove the necessity for|
|anti-vice ordinances in the cities and
town of the State.
Under such law properly adjudg-|
led as being used for cemmercialized|
vice purposes may be taken entirely
out Of the hands of the owners by the|
court and held until such time as the|
court is assured that it will not bel
employed for improper purposes.
Abatement proceedings under the lawl
may be begun when house is sus-|
|pected of being used for imorai pur-|
poses or as a nuisance of any sort,
land indictments brought against theI
Owners, agents and operators of the|
house. The case is then tried on itsI
merits in open court and the result
lis final.
