REVIEW OF LABOR TROUBLE
 IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Boston, March 26.-The New England textile strike situation takes on a new angle this week with it's extension to the important cotton and woole nmnl center at Lawrence. Seven mills in that city have announced a 20 per cent wage re- duction effective tomorrow and some or the operatives have declared a strike. Another mill has amounted an indefinite shutdown beginning tomorrow and the Lawrence textile coucil has declared this to be in the nature of lockout. The big mills of the American Woolen com pany have not joined in the wage cutting.
 The largest plant affected is the Pacific mills, employing some 1000 operatives. The six others at which wages are re- duced employ a total of about 5000. The wool sorters, affiliated with the United Textile Workers of America and first to declare a strike are planning to picket the Pacific and Everett mills tomorrow.
 The strike situation in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, where thousands of operatives have been idle for many weeks, appears to be deadlocked
 The special state board of mediation and consolidation In Rhode Island hns been dissolved after several futile at tempts to bring about a compromise be- tween workers and mill owners on the matters of wages and working hours Ef- forts 10 arrange conferences between strike leaders and manufacturers in New Harn.rshire have failed. Minor strikes are in effect at Lowell and Fitchburg' Mass.
 The declaration that the strike in New England mills Twill go to the limit to see whether the stockholders, by refusing to cut fat dividends, can force workers to reduce their meager wages" was made by 1av1f Nf he United Textil Workers of America, to- day. MT. McMahon was in this city on his way from Rhode Island to strike cen ters of Northern New England.

DE VALERA CHALLENGED
 TO REVEAL HIS VIEWS

Dublin, March 26-The silence of Ea- nom De Valera, in the face of challeng- es by the newspapers to make known his attitude toward the army convention, seemed perplexing in political quarters to- day. Michael Collins in a speech at Wat erford today challanged Mr. De Valera to reveal his views and also to dissociate himself from such 'Tnltinous state ments" as were made last week by Rod erick O'Connor, director of engineering headquarters staff of the Irish republican army, in announcing that today's con vention would be held despite orders to the contrary.
 MT. Collins added that the greatest ar gument with which he would be faced at the coming conference with the authori- ties in London wd1ld be MT. De Valera and that gentleman's political followers. He said Sir James Craig, the Ulster prem fer. would not dream of co1ning into q union while the present dissenion gre walled, and if Mir De Valera could nitG the country under his own leadership, ac- cept the treaty and agree to work for ths Free State, he (Collins) would gladly step aside. He added that he would not regret in such a contingency that so heavy a burden of responsibility had been taken | from him.

 He said the shipping board problem was to get the government out of the shipping business with as little loss as possible, and to provide an American merchant marine that American goods might not have to be carried to market in the ships of competitors and that there might be sufficient ships to provide for an adequate national defense" There is now fair prospect, he asserted that the 1 country will have a merchant marine, supported from a small proportion of the revenue derived from shipping and holding place on the seas worthy of the American people"
 Constructive economy, Mir. Coolidge said, has been the first thought and the chief effort of the present administration. To secure that, he declared, is to accom- plish reconstruction.

When there was an at- tempt to place responsibilities on our l government for the fixing of lGparations It was firmly declined, but with the as- 5ertion that reparations must be met to the limit of ability
 There has likewise been a refusal to participate in the Genoa conference out of feeling that the chief causes of eco- l homie disturbance in Europe can only be settled by their own domestic action and our unwillingness to become involved in any way in their political questions. The sincerity of American sympathy for Eu- rOpean distress Is revealed and establish ed in loans of almost a billion dollars made since Armistice day, in addition to the administration of enormous chari- ties"

 IN EUROPEAN AFFAIRS

Sofia. March 26-Deliberation of the alEes during the Genoa conference will be inconclusive if the United States IS not represented there. declared N. Stam- boulisky, speaking before parliament yesterday. He said Bulgaria was pre- pairing to send delegation to Genoa, although nobody knows what the pro- gram of the conference Will be-"
 The fact that the conference was called" the premier added. confirms my prophecy that the treaties between the allies Gn6 the central powers will not last for three years. My opinion is that America, sooner or later, will take part in the settlement of European questions, just as she did in the war. although her action may be delayed. She holds the purse, and until she takes an active part practical solutions cannot be determined.
 From the moment the boisheviki pre- sent themselves at Genoa they will cease to be real bolsheviki."
