vote OF thanks q the Study Club for
bringing skovgaard TO the city. He
is big man physically and musi-
cally. The violin he plays is part
of the man and into it's strings he
puts the music of the birds, the rip
pie of the streams, the wind in the
trees and all those divine harmonies
which have been born of the poets
we call Masters of Music.
Madam Skovgaard. the accompan-
list. is herself wonderful pianist
and the excellent team work added
to the musical treat.
Miss Pearle Witherbee delighted
the audience with her soprano voice
rendering her different songs with
great charm. She is not only mas
ter of technique, but has a lovely
voice and perfect enunciation.
All these artists were accorded
hearty applause.
The Study Club is to be congratu-
lated on bringing the trio to Bar

well even to providing an audience
which filled the Christian Church to

CONGRESSiAN ROBSION
DELIVERS DELIGHTFUL TALK

Thursday OF last week, Congress-
man j. NJ. Robsion spoke to
the members Of Union College facui-
ty, the students and townspeOple on
"A Close Up View of Congress.
The talk was in the happiest vein
and received the closest attention.
The speaker gave the membership
OF the House, told how the Speaker
is elected as having the longest con-
tinuous t5rm in Congress. Other Of
| ficers are the ergeant-at-arms, door
keeper and chaplain. Congress meets
at noon each day, the session being
opened with prayer. After looking
over the House, DR.. Montgomery
must often feel like praying far the
country.
| Chairmeu OF committees also
serve thru length of service and have
great power as do the leaders, ma
! jority and minority. In fact, the
seniority rule runs thru everything
and not on account of special know
ledge Of the subjects of which CON-
mittoes they are the heads,
| Mr., Robsion pointed out that the
head OF the good roads committee
of which he is u member, is opposed
TO spending money on the roads of
the south and west, but fortunately
there are enough on the COMMITTEES
who are in favor OF these measures
TO override him.
Legislation rests with committees
who call and examine witnesses
when a bill is reported. Otherwise
the business of the House would
never get done.
! When bill comes to the House
the ranking Republican splits time
with the ranking Democrat and nc
member may speak on the subject
unless they permit it.
Mr.. Robsion said the House ii
made up of men in every walk OF
life, with men expert on every In
dustry,
Hon. Joe Cannon, who is still q
member OF the House, was on tht
ticket with Abraham Lincoln In
1862 and General Sherwood was
elected with General Grant.
Members are also of practically
every nationality, except the Japa
nese and Cinnamon. This leads tC
a great deal Of diversity in the at
titude of mind among the members
This was very marked in the prohi
bition fight, where the cities fought

Cotton Mills Crrtailing
Continued Weakness in Primary
Markets a Factor

Continued weakness in the primary
cotton goods markets has led to some
curtallment, particularly among the
fine goods mills in the Fall River dis
trict. The curtailment in production
during the last week was estimated at
more than 100000 pieces, whereas sales
were about $4,000 pieces.
In the local gray gooda markets
prices were still softer yesterday. and
brokers reported that offerings of
$3.50, 38ia inch print cloths had been
made from second hands at 6s1 cents.
that some Southern mills were willing
to accept that price or 67s cents a
yard. A few of the Eastern mills that
are desirous of maintaining produc~
ton have lowered their price on this
construction to 7 cents. but most of
them are asking 8 cents, asserting that
price lower than this means a loss
to them.
Sentiment in the market here leans
toward greater curtaiment, as pres
cnt sales are scarcely up to production
and surplus stocks are believed to be
accumulating

The cotton market was quiet and

the trades appeared to be turning from
Fridays consideration of the inaugural
address to the more direct factors, and
the disposition to even up commit

noted by conflicting features in the

Generally speaking. reports from tho
goods trade at homo and abroad were IN
satisfactory from tho bulish standpoint
but their influence was modified to some
extent by claims Of an improved spot do

Depression Felt
BY Clock Makers;
Prices Reduced
Workers. Hours Cut in Many
Instances to CurtaiI Pro-
duction; Better Demand
for High Grade Pieces

Tho clock trade has felt the pangs
Of depression which have made them
selves felt In other industries, accord
ing to survey Of leading clock man
ufacturers. Practically all makers have
cut down working hours in most Of
their departments. Two manufacturers
have limited their working week to five
days. one on an eight~hour day basis
and the other OF nine-hour basis. In
normal times their factories were
worked on a. ffty-four hour q week
basis.
About rs per cent of tho employees
of another clock company have had
their working hours reduced from
forty-eight to thirty-nine hours, al
though the finishing, wood and auto
matte departments are said to be work
ing on normal schedule. All the en-
ployees in the watch department have
had their hours cut down from forty
four to thirtyfvc hours.
Interest in the clock trade seems to
be centercd on tambour clocks, espe
cially chimes, which enjoyed strong
demand in 1920, and which, in the opin-
ion Of the trade, will continue to be
popular this year.
A policy which has pervaded the en-
tire trade is that Of conservative buy
ing. Orders which have been received
indicated, by their size, that they were
fer immediate requirements. The ap
parent intention of the trade is to
rid themselves of the stocks which
they have found on their hands when
the abnormal demand of the two previ
ous years moderated.
A leading manufacturer Of high
grade clocks asserted that the raw ma
terial on hand now and that for which
he has contracted insured him OF sup
plies for about two years. He was of
the opinion that scarcity of convex
oval fine plate glass for clocks existed.
The export trade in his line, he found,
due to foreign exchange and credit
conditions, has fallen off.
Price reductions in some grades Of
clocks have been made, although manu-
facturers contemplate no reduction in
higk-gradc clocks A reduction of 10
per cent on the price of old fashioned
kitchen clocks has been made by one
manufacturer. Manufacturers of the
cheaper grade of alarm clocks have
made concessions, although reduc-
ton in the price Of high grade alarm
clocks is considered hardly possible.

considered singly, but in the aggregate
somewhat sitting in keen world mar
ket. AS to supplies, we are again han
dicapped. Tho frcights, selling ex-
penses and all the surrounding condi-
tions of their distribution made them
more costly than those Of our com
petitors.
Wages are the vital factor in COM
petition when they are considered
from the standpoint Of che price paid
yard or pound of product and not
on the weekly earnings Of the individ-
ual worker. An extreme case will illus
trate this point. While weaver in an
Indian cotton mill in, say, Bombay
province, earns only $3.50 month"; the
mill owners are clamoring for mora
and more tariff protection against Brit
ish-made goods, which furnishes the
very unusual spectacle of this "pauper"
labor seeking protection against the
products Of the highest paid workers
in the world
