SAYS WAGES WILL
NOT Be REDUCED
President of the American Wool
en- Company Makes Authori-
tative Announcement.
COMPETITION CALLED UNFAIR
In Letter He Calls Attention to Fact
That Mills In Other States Are
Paying Less and Working
Longer Hours.

William M. Wood, president Of the
American WoOlen company, authorized
the announcement to employees that
their wages for the coming season are
not to be reduced"
In letter to the company's maga-
zine, In which the announcement ap-
peared, however, he took occasion to
call attention to what he termed an
obstacle (which threatens the mainte-
nance of the present standard Of wages
in the American Woolen company"
This obstacle, he said, was "the COM
petition of certain mills In other states
than Massachusetts, where hours are
longer than those in the American
Woolen company and where wages are
less"
"This must occur to you," he added,
''as an unfair competition, and one
that affects you directly"
In his letter Mr.. Wood called atten-
tion to the fact that the company's
mills, which were practically shut
down year ago, were running ito full
SdpdClIy uL pACSCuL duu1uS
''Your attitude in realizing the situa-
ton and accepting the reduction In
wages had much to do with this happy
state Of affairs.
Among some of our customers there
seems to be a delusion that prices for
goods must be lower, Notwithstanding
that raw materials, and wool particu-
larly, are higher and growing still
higher in price. The present tariff on
wool practically amounts to an en-
barge and this has the tendency Of in
fiating the price Of wool in this coun-
try.
'"It is true that just now things do
not look altogether bright. Still we do
not share the pessimism that seems to
abound in textile circles"

 Officers
By Associated Prose

The resolution, sponsored by Sena- tor Kenyon, republican Iowa, pro vides that the inquiry shall embrace ''the cause of factory, wholesale and retail price conditions" in the in- dustry.
 There was no record vote on the resolution.
 The debate which preceded it's adop- ton was characterized by d general attack on profiteers. trusts and com binations in restraint of trade and scattering assaults on the federal trade commission. The latter was de- tended. however, by several senators who contended that 1t could never be "a popular" government agency be- cause of the nature of it's work.
 Half dozen senators, including King of Utah, Robinson of Arkansas, and Walsh of Montana. democrats. and Norris of Nebraska, republican, urged that the scope of the inquiry be broadened. contending that 1t should include trusts and combina- tions, other commodities and in other lines of industry wherever they could be reached.
 Prosecuting officers of the state governments were assaiied by MT. King and Senator Heflin, democrat. Alabama, who declared those officials appeared 10 have sat with folded hands" and to have made no effort to check combinations and trusts within the atate which could not be reached by federal authority.
