League Surprised
at u. S. Stand

Paris. Feb. 22-(By The Associated
Press)-Ambassador Wallace's noti-
fication to the council of the League
of Nations today, that the State de-
partment at Washington desired to
present the views Of the United States
before action was taken on mandates
created great surprise in league
circles. The gradual withdrawal of
American Representatives from the
councils commissions connected with
peace activities had tended to con-
firm the opinion. that the outgoing
administration would leave all such
initiative to the new government.

Easter Trade HELMS

The shoe industry which was vir-
tually fiat last fall has taken a squirt
as Il result of Easter demands. Lynn
shops are working on what the trade
knows as millinery footwear; pro-
cuction in the extensive Brockton
soc district is reported heavier than
~ any time in the last six months
though still far below normal: and
I.aNcrhill and other shoe cities also
seem to be increasing in shoe manu-
f2cturo. Shoe manufacturers say
they look for a gradual strengthen

end of the year
Low Prices Stimulate
Production of cotton textiles has
increased during the winter by from
35 TO so per cent and even more in
some special lines, according to man.
uf3cturerS who refer the improve
ncnt largely to the stimulus of low
prices quoted to the trade as a result
of the 22a per cent. wage cut. In
the cotton mill centers of New Halnp-
shire, Rhode Island, Maine and
Massachusetts, a distinct advance is
reported. The Amoskeag mills in
Manchester. n. H., have resumed full
time except in the worsted depart
ment which is a comparatively small
part of the plants activities.
In the two leading industrial lines
in Manchester, textiles and shoes,
under prosperous conditions more
than $4,000 people are employed, and
at the present time it is estimated
that about $4,000 of these now have
steady work, whereas, during the lat
ter part Of 1920 less than half this
total was employed and then only
three days a week with complete shut
downs in the fall and early winter for
varying periods.
Full Time in Little Rhody
In Woonsockct, r. l., cotton mills
are running full time with nearly full
compliments of help. In Maine mills,
the general average of production is
estimated at IS per cent. with the
plants running full time for the most
part though with reduced crews, in
contrast with the situation three
months ago when all the mills were
on half time and production was only
SO per cent. of normal.
Except in Fall River, the center of
the print cloth industry, where the
mills employing $4,000 are now operat-
ing on full time with full crews, few
instances of return to normal have
been reported thus far. In New Bed
ford $4,000 of the 10000 operatives of
the cotton yarn and cloth mills are at
present employed three or four days
a week, while three months ago there
was employment for only 1900 two or
three days week. Mill men there es-

tional machinery is being started in

are still shut down fiat.

day or two, but it is not probable that
the president-elect will make any
more positive announcements on the
subject until Inauguration day He

choice of Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. paugh-

he sees no reason for announcing the
others now This view is understood

I Mr.. Harding also let it be known
today that he expects to leave subor-
