Tilson Says Cotton Men Are Worst-Prices Advance
 500 Per Cent.

Washington, Feb. 27.-An inquiry into the reasons for the enormous ad- Vances in the price of cotton goods would be conducted by the federal trade commission under a resolution ordered favorably reported toay by the house interstate commerce com mittee.
 Representative Tiison, republican, Conn.,, author of the resolution, told the committee the cotton goods manu- facturers were 'profiteers of the worst sort He said prices had advanced 500 per cent since 191 I. although costs of cotton and mill labor had not shown anywhere near such an ad- vance.
 Both New England and southern mills have reaped big profits, he said, quoting from prospectuses of financial institutions promoting sale of cotton mill stocks, southern press comment, and a summary of market prices for the last several years.
 MT. Tilson said he had been author itatively advised that one spinner in one month made a profit of s5 900 on capitalization of S200,0o0 He also declared that trust company of Richmond, Va, had issued pros pectus for stock of a North Carolina mill in which it was stated that the average net earnings of the plant were s2S7.000 and promised on pres ent market conditions to be more than S1.00O, 900 this year.
 That North Carolina mill. de- clared MT. Tilson. was organized in 1901 with a capital of s25,o0o and today it's capital is 1.500,000
 MT. Tilson said he doubted that congress could enact legislation to meet the situation but publication of the results of the commissions inves- tigation might have a wholesome ef- feet.
 Chairman Murdock. of the commis- sion. informed the committee that the resolution would require an inquiry into the whole cotton industry gen. eral1y. but MT. Ti1Son urged that it be limited to q narrow field so as to pro- c7uce quick action in calling conditions to the public attention.

BELIEVES GREAT WAR
 WAS FOR CAPITALISTS
One of New York's Accused
 S Socialist Assemblymen States Position.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 27-Charles Sol omon one of the five suspended so- cia1ist asscmblymen being tried by the assembly judiciary committee on charges of disloyalty. testified today during cross-examination that he had never denied being 8 revolution ary socialist
 He explained. however. that he was g Revolutionary socialist in the sense ''these terms have been defined here again and again" The socialist definition was that such a socialist was one who sought to bring about a reconstruction of society and that social revolution meant peaceful economic change to public ownership of industry.
 Solomon admitted he had highly endorsed a speech of James O'Neil, associate editor of the New York Call at 8 meeting held to celebrate the second anniversary of the Russian soviet republic in which O'Neil had declared the Russian revolution was not q pink tea party where one drank to success of the revolution and then went out and slapped an an- tagoniSt on the wrist. In his speech O'Neil also had asserted critics of modern Russia had held up q "viIe tlI1S ldD6ll0U DOlSiSNih " HIGH WdS "an image of our own dirty, rotten regime in the United States
 Solomon denied that, debating with Walter Hart, 8 New York lawyer and prosecutor, he had ever declared the American Legion, of 100000 strong would be swept aside, like chaff in the wind if it attempted to oppose so- cial revolution here.
 The witness explained that what he had said was in the nature of a question as to whether the Legion if an overwhelming majority of the people here wished change, would attempt to establish a military dicta- torship to block the will of the people. ' He was quizzed at length on his attitude during the war and asked why he did not aid recruiting and the sale of Liberty Bonds after President Wilson's proclaim ation at the time war was declared. Solomon replied he was opposed to war. but had compiled with the law. He said if he had not been exempted from the draft because of depend ents. he would have gone to the front when called. though with heavy heart, feeling he was serving capitalist in terests.
