YARN CONDITIONS
Decided StIffenIn1 in Eastern Values.
Observation of Recent Tourist.


]. II. Wilson has recently made an
eastern trip. and incidentally he looked
into the yarn market, and he records
some of his observations in The Arrow
head. the organ of the Richmond
Hosiery mills, which will be of general
Mr.. Wilson in his letter says
mo doubt you. as well as all other
members of your force, will be inter-
ested In an account of my recent trip
east. l made this trip with a view to
finding out what the business sentiment
was at this time and what were the
prospects for the future, and 1t gives
me pleasure to report that there has
been a marked change in business con-
ditionst buyers are coming into the
market freely and placing orders, and
the general opinion in the New York
market seems to be that prices have
at last reached the bottom and from
now on will have an upward trend.
There has been, a decided stiffening in
the yarn prices; in many instances
yarn. especially in the fine counts, has
advanced as much as 80 Ia per cent.
Unfortunately for the hosiery business.
competition is SO keen that 1t is impos-
sible to advance prices with the adj
vances in yarn. At the same time, 1t
gives us confidence that prices will not
go down any more and there is good
prospect of getting substantial increases
in the future as the buying movement
increases.
"You have no idea what a relief this
brings your management, as we have
been under a serious strain for the past
six months endeavoring to sell goods
against great odds and to keep our
plant running full, so as not to work
any hardships on our employees by hav-
ing to run short time or shutting down
any of the departments. The thing
most gratifying to us is that If this
change in sentiment is permanent we
will be able to run full time in all the
departments. without making any re-
duction in wages, and in case prices
should go up, we will possibly be able
to make some advances later on. am
sure that this will be good news to
everyone in view of the fact that we
have all been under great uncertainty
about the ability to maintain the war
schedule of wages during peace time.
I am hoping that conditions will be
such that by July 1 we will be able to
give you a definite announcement re-
garding the question of yearly bonus
for 1919"

VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION
OF BURLESON PREDICTED
LABoR's APPEAL FOR HIS
REMOVAL COMMENTED.
Would Be First Dismissal of
Cabinet Member by Pres
ident Wilson.

washington, June 21.-(Copyright, N.
Y. Evening Post.)-Must Burleson goY
The resolutions adopted unanimously
by the American Federation Of Labor in
its annual convention at Atlantic City
demanding the removal of Albert Sid
ney Burleson as acknowledgement
constitute the first public demand ever
made by that organization orr any other
labor body for the dismissal OF mem
Der of President Wilson'S cabinet. The
particularly friendly to labor and when
congress in 1918 created a department
of labor, the president selected as the
first head OF that department an official
OF the American Federation OF t.abor--
William b. Wilson. Samuel Gompers,
president of the federation. has always
had the ear of President Wilson and
has been given @ free hand at the Paris
peace conference wherever questions of
labor have been discussed In connec-
tion with the covenant Of the league Of
nations or any other international
Chances Of Removal.
Because Of these facts and circum-
stances 1t Is not doubted here that the
action of Mr.. Gompers' Organization
and unanimous action at that--will have
a profound effect upon President Will
son. Were 1t not for the fact that many
people in the national capital are SILENT
iyt in concurrence with the postmaster
generals views on labor, though they
differ with him on other questions, the
resolutions at Atlantic City would have
been looked upon as premise or basis
for action by the president. But at
the capitol particularly. where Mr.. Will
son is repeatedly accused OF catering
too much to labor, 1t was plain to see
that some men thought it would be
highly unwise and undesirable for any
member of the cabinet to be removed
in these times for refusal to recognize
labor unions. On the other hand, the
progressive elements who count them
selves champions of labor and who
agree with the substance of President
Wilson's last message to congress.
cabed from Paris, that labor is at the
very forefront of the world situation
today. believe the president must make
his deeds square with his words and
sever connections with any member Of
his cabinet who does not uphold his
view. William Jennings Bryan. secre-
tary of state, left the cabinet because
of difference of opinion between the
president and himself on fundamental
administration policy with respect to
Germany. while Lindley M. Garrison
resigned as secretary of war because
of q disagreement on military policy.
The designations of Messrs. Mickey
nolds, Gregory and McAdoo were for
personal reasons--the first being ele-
waited to the supreme court OF the
United States and the last two being
anxious to. return to private life to IN
crease their financial income. Not one
member of the cabinet. however, has
been removed. Both Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Garrison resigned voluntarily with

Suys Pressure on Public

WASHINGTON, Sept 8. President

tenanced or permitted"

the Senate Committee considering the
resolution by Senator Myers, Democrat,
Montana, to shut on the pay of all men,
bers of the washington police force as
recently organized union.
The Presidents telegram. as read by
Commissioner Brownlow. was as fol-
lows:
II am quite willing that you should
tell the Senate Committee that my posi-
ton In my conversations with you was
exactly the same as l have expressed
recently in speeches here in the West.
and, OF course, i am DESTROYS as you
are of dealing with the police force IN
the most just and generous way. but
that i think that any association of the
police force of the capital city of of any
great city whose object Is to bring pres
sure upon the public or the community
such as will endanger the public peace
OF embarrass the maintenance of order
should in no case be countenanced or
permitted"
