NeO England Textile
Mills in Big Slump.

Special Despatch to THE HERALD.
BosToN, Oct S.-The textile situation
in the important New England centres
is anything but encouraging. From
Lawrence. where are the largest plants
of the American Wooden Company /;
from Manchester. N. H.. the home OF
the Amoskeag Mills. and from Lowell,
New Bedford, Fall River and elsewhere,
come reports of early additional cur
tailments.
Since the reopening of the plants IN
this section operations have been con-
Quoted in the majority Of cases on a
part time schedule. Virtually all the
manufacturers have been working on ap-
proximately half time schedule until this
week. when many leading plants took
advantage of the holiday early next
week and announced a shutdown of a
full week. Some made the announce
ment that the closing would be at least
a week."
Failure to get business is reported to
be the flaw in the textile manufacturing
situation in the East. A few weeks ago
cotton and wooden manufacturers dis
played elaborate lines of new goods at
substantial reductions. Statesmen were
sent out. But according to reports COM
ing in from every hand business has
not been forthcoming, and the manufac-
turers are faced with the necessity of
closing their plants once more in the
near future.
When the American Wooden Company
resumed operations on September IL
President William NJ. Wood made the
statement that 'if business was secured,
and he hoped it would be. the mills
would be operated to the limit justified
by the amount of orders secured, but
If business was not forthcoming there
ha M tn he
mills again until it could be obtained :"
There have been charges by radical
labor leaders that the manufacturers
have not tried to get business and that
the situation is an artificial one, created
for the purpose of forcing a reduction in
the wage scales that became effective
during the war and which are still in
effect. These charges have been denied
and there appears to be little to justify
them. There Is plenty Of evidence that
lack OF business alone is responsible for
the existing conditions.
Large hosiery manufacturers are SINH
larly fixed, and yesterday the Lawrence
Manufacturing Company of Lowell, en-
ploying $500 hosiery workers, announced
that il was compelled to close its plants
To-day the employees, through repre-
sentatives, notified the mills agent that
they would be willing to accept a reduc-
ton in wages of Is per cent. IL such
reduction would result in reasonably
steady employment. The agent. Everett
II. Walker, said tonight it was doubtful
IL the offer OF the employees would have
any effect, as it was merely a matter OF
failure to get business.
The underwear machines in the mills
were halted to-day and the hosiery ma
chinery will stop within few days, the
agent said The Bay State Cotton Cor

THIRD TERM FOR WILSON
ATTACKEDBY HUMPHREYS

With indications of wide dissatis-
faction against President Wilson's di-
rection OF the Democratic party, the
Democrats of the House yesterday
through a speech on the floor by Con-
gresham Humphreys (Demcrat) Of
Mississippi, called upon Mr.. Wilson
to announce Immediately that he will
not be a third-term candidate.
The whole tone of the speech clear
ly indicated that the House Demo-
Gratis fear the President by his con-
tinued silence on the third-term prop
0stion has not abandoned the idea OF
asking for reelection, with the peace
treaty as the main issue. 1t was also
clear that the dissatisfied House
Democrats believe for the President
10 seek a third term would be party
suicide and that every day which Mr.
Wilson delays making his position
clear Injuries the party's chances in
the coming election.
Running all through the speech Of
Mr.. Humphreys was a covert intima-
ton that the President really desires
a third term and that he looks upon
himself as 1.-The one man" in the
country today.
Dissatisfaction with the President
among the House Democrats really
dates back to the famous letter he
sent to the country urging the return
of a Democratic Congress, which they
hold was responsible for the majority
OF nifty for the Republicans in the
present House. Since then the Prcsi-
dents direction of party affairs has
become much worse the House Demo-
Gratis think, and it is evident that
they do not desire the peace treaty to
be dragged into the next campaign.

carth's surface which are still unde-
veloped. A survey of railway construc-
ton during 1915, and of the programs
contemplated at that time, leads to the
conclusion that the world then was get

pansion of trade and industry. It is
believed now that the war will be found
to have accelerated that movement.
The United States, through its whole

however, it had reached such an indus

We must not rest with passive

Sir George Paish estimates that the

income from the balance of foreign
loans, which will he due this country as
creditor nation, will probably be
largely absorbed in new investments
The development of strong and grow
ing merchant marine will further add to
our ability to invest capital in other
countries. The extraordinary large gold
supply of the country, in combination
with free gold market, will give bills
drawn in American dollars a worldwide
reputation as synonymous with gold, and
funds can be loaned payable in gold.
This gold reserve is sound basis for
our credit structure-an essential re-
quirement in an expansion program.
