INDUSTRY PASSES
 CRISIS PERIOD
Readjustment Sets in and Business Begins to Improve-Textile Mills Re-open--Automobile Outlook Is
 Much More Encouraging.

Chicago, Jan. 17.--America's indus trial world is beginning to awaken from it's four months sleep.
 Signs are growing that it is making ready to get on it's pins again. It's a slow process, but the significant thing is that during the first half of January, the movement of industry by and large on countrywide scale, ap- pears to have been upward. In some regions the last week in particular has indicated that readjustment is actually beginning.
 A survey of industrial centers shows that the textile milsl have reg istered the largest resumption so far. Thus the revival starts where the de- pression began, for the textile indus try was among the first to be knocked into cooked hat when economy first inundated the country last spring, and the public, overburdened by ex- cessive prices, refused to stand the gaf any longer and started it's ''buy- ing strike"
 With consumers refusing to con- sume and prices dropping, orders were cancelled down the line until mills closed down. They have been slowly starting up, here and there, on part time for month or so past, but last week saw a pronounced revival. New Lcndon, Conn, reported a gen. eral re-opening of it's factories, mostly on full time. Philadelphia reported its textile mills were resuming, most of them at full time. At Fall River. Mass, 5000 workers went back to the looms, and the resumption turnout New England was reported quite gen eral. At Altoons, Pa.. the silk mills re-opened at 30 per cent capacity; at Asheville, N. C., cotton mills employ ing 5000 went to full time; at La fayette, Ga, cotton mills re-opened at | full time.
 What started the fabric factories going, however, was the fact that the garment trade came to the conclusion that prices of eleth ct the mills had about reached a stabilized price level. As pointed out ow or three weeks ago. this led to the placing of spring or ders and an abatement of the cancel lation fever. Then the mills started up, and the caves of industrial gloom in the mill cities of the East fot the sun. It all hammers home the idea that the faster the industries get prices down to stabilized" level, the quicker will resumption ensue.
 In the automotive cities, factories are slowly starting up. Many of the re-openings at New Years indicated little or nothing, because many shops of various sorts closed down for week or two at Christmas time for in- ventory and repairs. But in the last week or so, several plants have re- ported real quickening of activities.
 It's slow but gradual-Detroit still reports some 100000 unemployed- but the automobile business looks for a large resumption within a few weeks, and by February or March manufacturers expect factories to be hitting a good speed. They look for big replacement business.

GOTHAM POLICE AGAINST REDS
Federal Officials Assist in Guarding Officials From Mystery Plot" by Reds-Details are Not Given
 A Federal Measure.

New York, Jan. 14.-Public build. ings, churches, public utility plantd homes of wealthy citizens thruou, the city were under heavy guard to- day by order of the police as a pre- oautionary measure against possible radical demonstrations
 Police officials were extremely re. ticent concerning the order giver verbally last night to the entire force but they intIma1ed it was prompted by federal authority.
 Supporting the belief that the or. der was the result of federal stimulus was the tact that Chief William J Flynn of the department of justice in- telllgence service made the rounds last night, giving instructions to the police and detectives stationed at var. ious posts.
 He's out on duty with his men. n was the gist of the sole comment of subordinates in his office.
 Plain clothes detectives and uni. form patrolmen, working in relays, took up their all-night sentinel duties last and those on duty had not left their posts early today.
 Special attention was given to the protection of the homes of John ID, Rockefeller, J. M. Morgan, Charles M Schwabe, Archbishop Patrick X Hayes, Mayor John F. Hylan and citi- zens along Fifth avenue and other financial residential districts.
 Other cordons guards were kept on duty at St. Patrick's cathedral. the stock exchange. the criminal courts building, all railroad stations, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the city hall. .postoffice. and substations and electric light plants.

HOOVER NOT IN
 HARDING CABINET
President Elect Said to Have Yielded to Strong Opposition and Will Not Give Food Administrator Place
 in Official Portfolio.

Washington, Jan. IT, H b t Hoover is not to be member of the Harding Cabinet, according to the latest information obtained by sena- tors direct from Marion Mr. Hard ing, it is said, has decided that there is such strong opposition to MT. Hoover among Republican factions that his appointment as cabinet member would create discord to ham, per success of his administration.
 Mir. Harding has told some of his close associates in the Senate with whom he keeps in close touch, that in deciding to pass over Mir. Hoover as cabinet possibility he was sacrific- ing his own inclinations. He has been frankly outspoken in his declara- tions that MT. Hoover would be a most useful man, and that his un- questioned abilities should be util. ized in carrying out the general re- construction program which the new administration must put into effect.
 There are several reasons cited here for dislikes of Mir. Hoover which appear to be general in Congress The one most frequently cited is Hoover's strong endorsement of Pres. ident Wilson's demand for a Demo. cratic Congress two years ago on tho ground that unless the Democrat; were continued in the House ano Senate. it would be impossible to dea adequately with the European crisis
 The demand is regarded as a decla. ration that neither the intelligenc, nor the patriotism of Republicans could be relied upon, and was resent ed by the voters. as much as by ths Republican candidates for election against whom it was directed
 Another cause is suspicion of Mir Hoover and all his purposes. No one Republican senators say. has yet dis
The Mena weekly star., 1921-01-20

covered why Mir. Hoover was candi- date for the presidential nomination or why as a candidate the influence behind him appeared to concentrate chiefly against the men who had op. posed the Wilson peace treaty.
 What may develop into a fight upon Mir. Hoover in the Senate is expected next week. Tn re are two or three resolutions pending in House and Sen ate calling for information as to the collection and handling of relief funds. Mir. Hoover's name is not mentioned in any of these, but it is said that they relate to him.
 Senator Harding, it is said, had not shared in this feeling, but he is a great believer in party regularity and the fact that Mir. Hoover had ab- parent difficulty before the nominat- ing conventions in deciding whether he was a Republican or a Democrat, is said to have been used with the greatest effect by the Hoover oppon- ents in their representations to the president t-elect
