ATTACK LAUNCHED
AT RESERVE BOARD
UNDERWEAR MAKERS BLAME
BOARD FOR UNBALANCED
CONDITIONS
DRY GOODS MEN WARNED
Il Is Alleged That Textile manufaetun
ers Receive No New Orders At
Satisfactory Prices

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn-Blaming the
federal reserve board for the present
unbalanced conditions of the cOmmOd-
ity markets, the southwestern division
Of the National Association OF Ho-
siery and Underwear Manufacturers,
which closed its convention here, sent
communication to the Southern
Wholesale Dry Goods Association
warning it to take immediate action
in order to prevent the very institu-
ton that was established to prevent
ruin and disaster from taking the lead
ership in a policy that can have no
other end
Questionnaires which had been sub
nitted to the textile men of the south
west and which were answered show
ed that a vast majority of the textile
manufacturers are receiving no new
orders at satisfactory prices; that
practically all old orders have been
filled; that less than IL per cent of
the output of the knitting industry
is being sold; that the percentage of
knitting and looping as compared with
normal production is so per cent, and
that there is an overproduction in most
lines of hosiery.
The textile manufacturers charge
that these conditions have been
brouhgt about by the federal reserve
boards attitude in forcing liquidation
and deflation by a systematic program
of propaganda. AS a result, it is de-
clared, hundreds of the smaller mills
of the country are on the verge of
disaster and the larger and most solv-
ent manufacturers face an embarrass-
| ing situation.
A bitter attack made upon the pol
! icy of the federal reserve board in a
letter written by A. Mcdowell, mill
operator of Scotland Neck, N. c., to
Gov w. P. G. Harding was made a
part of the record of the association
meeting here. Mr.. Mcdowell accuses
the board as failing in it's intended pur-
pose of protecting the business inter
ests of the country and with aiding
powerful financial machines in their
policy of destruction"
Credit Men Defend Reserve System
Atlantic City, N. J.-Directors of the
National Association of Credit Men,
meeting here issued a statement call
ing upon the business men of the coun-
try to stand against any move to linn
it or eliminate the federal reserve
banking system.
"The nation should feel grateful for
the ability the federal reserve banks
have shown to cope with the unusual
conditions and to stabilize the ten
denotes of men in the readjustment pc.

APPEAL TO wilson
MADE BY ALBANIA
PRESIDENT WILSON Is URGED TO
USE HIS INFLUENCE AGAINST
SERBIAN AMBITION
CONFLICT GROWING SERIOUS
Albanians Have Repulsd. Invaders,
But Are Unable u Resist
Indefinitely

Observation-Disclosures Wilson and
Premiers Lloyd-George and Millerand
have been asked by the Albanian gov
eminent to take steps to compel Ser
bia to withdraw its troops from Al
bantam territory, c. A. Chekrezi, Alba
MAN commission to the United States,
announces. Communications to this
effect have been sent he says, by Nj.
Konitza, Albanian foreign minister,
now in Paris.
These requests were made, Mr..
Chekrezi says, because the Albanian
Serbian conflict has been lately as
Stunning alarming proportions that
might endanger the peace of the Bal
kans.
The text of the communication t.
President Wilson follows:
I'VE are informed by our govern
ment that the Serbians, pushing their
invasion from north to east, have
reached the region of Matt, half way
between the Albanian frontier and the
coast, passing thus far beyond the linn
it's fixed by themselves in 1918, the
so-called line of demarcation, and have
destroyed about forty villages. The
Albanians have repulsed these invad
ers, but, being exhausted, and weak
in numbers, are unable to resist In
definitely the millions Of Jugo-Slavs
who are seemingly determined to de
stroy our nation. l implore your ex
cellency to take immediate steps IN
order to secure the withdrawal of the
Serbians from Albania and save ou1
nation from destruction; otherwise
the gravest consequences will follow
throughout the Balkans.

WOMEN WIN IN CONNECTICUT
Legislature, Called Primarily To en-
act Laws Facilitating Vote. De-
eIdes To Pass On Act Itself

Hartford, Conn.-The Connecticut
legislature ratified the federal suffrage
amendment Wednesday, September IA.
Within less than half an hour after
the house had adopted the resolution,
the senate took similar action.
Irrespective OF the final result OF
the tangle resulting from ratification
by Tennessee, which was the thirty
sixth and necessary state to pass the
amendment, equal suffrage is now a
part of the constitution. The house
vote was PIG to II. The vote IN the
senate was SO to 0.
The legislature was called primarily
TO enact laws contingent on women
receiving the vote. Because OF the
mix.up over the ratification b. Ten
nessee, the thirty-sixth state, however
proponents of suffrage decided to ratliy
the amendment to remove all doubt OF
it's legality.
Washington.-Con ratifica
ton of the federal woman suffrage
amendment removes all doubt as to
the amendments validity as well as
the possibility of the fall elections be-
ing carried through the courts into
the house of representatives, accord
ing to the opinion of the authorities.
Connecticut makse the thirty-sev'
enth state which has ratified, count
ing Tennessee, where the action OF
the state legislature is under attack
in the courts. Even though Tennes'
sees ratification were knocked out
the amendment would still have the
necessary number of state ratiflca
tions. Solicitor General Frierson says
Officials, as we'll as suffragists, were
relieved and surprised when informed
of the rapidly with which the Con
necticut legislature had ratified.
+ Officials had feared that the 81
nreme court would be unable to ac'
on the Tennessee suits until after the
election. A decision adverse to SUI
frage at that time would have Ger
tainly brought the legality of women, s
votes and consequently the whole
election into question.
While suffragists announced some
time ago that they would try for Con
neeticut ratification, they had no init
nation that it was coming so quick

opposition in the state.
