Output of New England Textile Indus
tries Cut in Some Cases
30 Per Cent.

Curtailment of production, which be-
gan some months ago in New England
textile industries employing 100000
operatives, has reached a point where
the total output is less than One-half
that of one year ago, according to a
canvass of the great mill centers.
In some instances the curtailment
runs as high as so per cent. A few
mills have shut down entirely. The
majority have adopted a working
schedule of three or four days week.
Mills that continue in operation on full
time with full crews are exceptional.
Thus far, only isolated announce
ments of wage reductions have ap-
peared and those have been for the
most part In small mills where opera
tives have been presented the choice
of a 10 per cent wage cut or a shut
down, the manufacturers finding them
selves unable to continue business un-
der the former wage expense"

VOTE ON BIG BRITISH UNION
Transport Workers Consider Amalga-
nation Which Would Take Rank
With Rail Workers. Body.

A ballot will be taken in the British
Isles within the next few weeks to de-
eide whether all the workers who are
not affiliated with the Transport
Workers federation, except the sea-
men, shall be drawn together In one
big union. If this comes about the new
Transport Workers union will take
rank with the National Union of Rail-
way Men, and for the first time the
triple alliance" including the miners,
will consist of three solidly organized
bodies, each with a central executive
possessing full authority.
Labor leaders point out that 1t does
not follow that the suggested consoli-
dation of power would increase the
danger of a combined strike which
would hold up ali the vital services of
the country.

"DISRUPTING THE UNIONS"

General Atterbury, speaking for
the Pennsylvania railroad and in
directly for other railroads, leaves no
room for doubt as to what is in store
for organization of workers. He is
at considerable pains to inform the
public that railway managers are in
open rebellion against dealing with
trade unions, and he intimates that
there is to be a showdown that will
prove whether the men are to con-
tinue in railroad service as mere cogs
in the machine or as free men, enjoy
ing the right to bargain collectively
and determine, as far as possible, the
conditions under which their labor
shall be given.
The wholesale suspension of rail-
road workers is the first attack upon
workers organizations. 1t is not de-
MED that those selected for dismissal
have been "disloyal" to the corpora
tions. "Disloyalty" is synonymous
with trade unionism. The workers
have not served the railroads less eff
fectively because they have joined
with their fellows, but the managers
believe that any manifestation of in
dependence is to be resented and
checked if possible as an invasion of
the preragatives of autocracy.

CAPITALISTIC GRATING

Some Cleveland bankers recently
investigated the stock-selling methods
of a certain automobile concern. They
found that out of the four and three
quarters millions Of dollars received
from the sale of stock, $1,200,000
went to statesmen in the form of COM
missions; more than $650,000 was re-
tanned by the promoter for alleged
services as fiscal agent, while more
than S50O,000 went for other "neces-
sary expenses" in connection with the
disposition of the stock.
Thus, in a process designed to Sc
cure the working capital of a corpora
ton, there was absorbed by outside
parties practically so per cent of the
whole receipts from stock sales. The
company's obligation, however, was
to pay dividends on the full amount
of the stock sold, although it had
received the proceeds from the sale
of only about one-half of it.
A New York bank made a similar
finding in the case of some newly
promoted packing establishment. One
had sold stock to the amount of eight
and one-half millions. 1t received
in cash little more than six millions,
from which was deducted more than
two and one-half millions for eX-
penses of promotion. In this case
again there was left as working
capital a sum only about half as
great as the outstanding stock upon
which dividends were to be paid.
The above are examples of the
methods of the financial grafters who
take out in cash one-half of a COM
pany's new capital and replace it with
debt in the form of interest bearing
stocks which the company must there
after carry.
The interest this has for working
people lies in the fact that the divi-
dends on the over-capitalizations thus
produced must be earned by the pro-
ducers in the industries so over
pitalized-earned by them but not
received by them.

RESULT OF SUBSIDIZING RAIL
ROADS

Is every right possessed by the
neonle to be sacrificed to coporate
greed? Is sovereignty in the Unlted
States to be subordinated to the IN
ordinate demand of the railroads Tor
safe and sure profits on their real and
fctitiuos capitalizations? These are
mestions that some statesmen at
Washington are seriously asking, and
which every prudent citizen OF the
country should also be asking.
When Congress subsidized the rail-
roads from the public treasury II eS-
tablished a dangerous precedent, the'
full purport of which has not been
apprehended by many citizens. by
this act the government has author-
ized and encouraged reckless manage
noent waste and graft free OF uhe
natural penalties that they invite IL
froad corporations of ordinary busl-
ness hazards and guaranteed thepil
nrofito without the necessity OF strlV-
ino for them or the condition pre-
cedent of deserving them. 1t con-
ferred sovereign powers upon prlVaVo
cornorations and made 1O5,OoO'ooo
unwilling subjects to a power creaVeo
bv the state but grown greater thah
its creator.
The American people lost much
when the Cummins-Esch bill was
written into the statute books. buC
+bav are going to lose great deal
more, if the railroad managers plans
do NOT miscarry. For the transporta-
tion bill has opened anew a contro-
vorev that has waged with more or
loss bitterness over a period of three
o,,ar+ers of a century. The railroads
are going to the Supreme Court win
. demand that the states be enJolneo
from interfering with the rates els
tablished by the Interstate commerce
Commission, to the end that the
Guaranteed income assured them og
the transportation bill shall be GER
tain and uninterrupted.
Seventeen states have held to the
theory that they retain rights that
the federal government must respect
The Interstate Commerce Commission
hold a contrary view, and SO 90 the
railroads. The states, they argue
have no rights that transcend the
rights of the railroads to collect the
guarantee that Congress has given
them. -,
A majority of the commonwealVhS
have accepted this position and nave
approved the federal rates without
question. But a fighting minority Is
standing out for state rights, and the
question must go to the courts 1or
review. What the final decision VIII
be is not a subject for speculation
It NAV be stated, however, that IN
recent issues where property rlghts
conAicted with human rights the de-
cision has invariably favored property

AERIAL mail SERVICE
PLANNED FOR GLASGOW
w. G.. Ferguson and ]. w. Hesseh
Arrived by Aerial Route Today,
To Promote Interest

w. G. Ferguson, secretary of Miles
City Chamber of Commerce, arrived in
Glasgow this morning via air route
and will spend couple of days in our
city. He is here in the interest of
an aerial mail service route, and will
meet with the directors of the Com
mercial club, with this object in view
Mr.. Ferguson was accompanied by
J. w. Hesser of Miles City. Speaking
of the proposed aerial mail route Mr.
Ferguson said:
81 do not believe that the average
person needs any explanation of the
fact that commercial flying has come
to stay. Our proposition is of great in
terest to Glasgow as eventually we
expect to make this city the terminal
of passenger as we'll as an aeria
mail route. We are negotiating with
concern which is planning to install
transcontinental passenger route
from Chicago to the coast next spring
We are figuring first on mail con.
tracts and then an expansion which
will include the carrying of passen.
gers. That would mean the possibil,
ity of a continuous air trip from Glas.
gov to Chicago with transfer al
Miles City.
"In so far as the aerial mail is con
cerned we believe that this PROPOSE
tion will go through without serious
opposition. We left Miles City severa
days ago and have made all the prin
Cipal points on the Great Northern
and each of these cities endorsed tn
proposition as it was presented. Il
| view of the fact that Glasgow will
profit more than any of the othe
cities we are confident that the com
munity will be heartily in sympath,
with our plan. We can save SO hour
at least on all mail going south o
Glasgow and north of Miles City. Th
postal department is encouraging pri
vate corporations to make bids OF
mail contracts and we are certain
that we can bring the cost of the ser
vice down to a point where it will b
acceptable to the government
"Glasgow's wireless service vii
prove of big benefit as the planes vii
be equipped with wireless and will b
able to communicate with the station
at Miles City, Jordan and Glasgo,
while en- route"

OPEN LETTER TO GLASGOW
PEOPLE BY PROF. MALANES

Professor Malanes, who has so ef-
ficiently directed the Glasgow band, is
planning to be away for some time and
to make trip to England next fall
to put on BALLET" of his own pro-
duction. He has the local band so or
ganized that he can be away and no
i'll effects come to the band. The man
who will take charge will find it in
good condition. The people of the
community have enjoyed the concerts
that have been put on and are sorry
to hear of the proposed departure of
the professor.
The following open letter has been
written by the Professor Malanes and
will set forth his plans and attitude
toward the people of Glasgow:
81 will be away after our next con-
cert for about two weeks getting some
business settled in the east, then I
will come back here to stay as long
as l can before leaving for England
this fall where l will look after the
production of "Ballet" of my own
if l consider the investment safe in
view of so much unrest. If conditions
do not look favorable I will be in
London for a while before moving
to the south of England where l will
settle down to study, write music and
perhaps work for a moving picture
corporation and wait for more normal
times to put on my show. But while
here l will try my best to have every
thing so arranged that when I leave
and the next man comes to take my
place the public will not notice the
change-and I will see that a good
man takes my place. 1 wish 1 could
stay here all my life, have learned to
love, respect and admire the people of
Glasgow so much, but business before
pleasure. In the meantime we will
have lots of fun: we will play, yor
will sing, and we all will laugh
l want to thank everyone of thu
singers and the band boys for theil
kind support.
Yours sincerely,
S. M. MALANES.

CHAPMAN, IDOL CT
FANS MOURNED
IMMENSE CROWDS

Cleveland, Aug. 2O-Raymond Chap
man, star player of the Cleveland
American league club and idol of local
fans, this morning received the rever-
entail homage of sorrowing Cleveland.
While the bell of st. Johns Roman
Catholic cathedral, where the services
were held, was tolling, thousands of
persons stood with bare heads as the
body of Chapman, who died in New
York last Tuesday, victim of a pitched
ball there Monday, was carried to the
altar.
Traffic Police Busy
Tears were in the eyes of men,
women and children in the throng,
which was so dense that mounted
police and patrolmen strove almost
in vain to keep streets open to
traffic.
All classes and walks of life were
represented in the crowded church
Bankers and brokers rubbed elbows
with laborers and newsboys. The
crowd was made up of men, women
and children from all parts of the
city and from other cities, all
gathered to pay their respects to the
dead. Every foot of space in the
church was occupied including the
sanctuary and communion rail.
No official action antagonistic to
Carl Mays, the New York American
player, who pitched the ball on Mon.
day which resulted in Ray Chap
mans death, will be taken by Presi-
dent B. B. Johnson of the American
league. The case is ended as far as
he is concerned, Johnson declared
here today.
"I could not conscientiously at
tempt to make any trouble TO
Mays" Johnson said, "But it is m!
honest belief that he never will pitcl
again." From what l have learned HI
is greatly affected and may neve.
be capable tempermentally of pitch
ing again. Then l also know tn
feeling against him to be so bite
among the members Of other team
that it would be inadvisable for hin
to attempt to pitch this year at an,
rate"
Mays Suffers Breakdown.
New York, Aug. 20-While Ra,
Chapman, fatally injured here las
Monday by ball pitched by Car
Mays of the New York club, was be
ing buried today in Cleveland, May
was lying in his home here, sufferin,
from nervous breakdown. Thi
became known when an official o
the Yankees appeared in traffic cour
and pleaded guilty for Mays to
charge of speeding last month, an
paid $25 fine. Mays has not playe
since resumption of the New York
Cleveland series.
