He could not think, or bring back

In FOUR YEARS
Profits Can Buy Entire
Plant, Says UniOnist
OF Textile Mills, Where To
Again Cut Wages Causes
Strike

Boston-In the last generation the
Pacific textile mills "has paid its
stockholders in cash the par value of
its capitalization four and one-half
times over" says Thomas F. McMa
hon, president of the United Textile
Workers, in an open letter to Edwin
Farnham Green, treasurer of the Pa
cific mills. This company is attempt
ing to lower wages and it's employees
are on strike.
"The public who bought the cloth
and the operatives who have made it, y
said the trade union executive, shave
contributed to the Pacific mills in pro-
fits enough to have bought the COM
pany outright at the par value of it's
capitalization four or five times over
in the last generation"
The letter calls attention to the
| widely advertised claim that southern
competition forced the reduction in
wages in northern mills and to the
fact that the Pacific mills has part of
its factory property in Columbia, s.
c., and adds: "Are you in any way
using your influence to bring about an
increase in the wages of southern cot
| ton mill workers, or do you believe
that the present competition between
the north and south is the best way to
determine what wages shall be in
northern and southern mills ?"
President Mcmahon says that the
position that wage cuts are necessary
because the cost of production of GER
tain goods are higher, is equivalent
to IAN assertion that the workers il
Pacific mills should bear large share
of the burden of depression" anc
asks:
do you believe that the workers
in Pacific mills are likewise entitled tt
large share of the benefit of pros
perity?"

CHEAP LABOR FAILS

San Francisco.-"If the path to ma
tional glory is along the line of cheap
ness, why is not China the greatest
nation on earth today?" asks Paul
Scharrenberg, secretary-treasurer of
the California State Federation of
Labor in opposing the ship subsidy
bill.
"High- priced American workmen
are able to produce shoes, sewing ma
chimes, typewriters and many other
articles of commerce for the competi-
tive market in Europe and elsewhere,
although the workers pay over there
is in many instances only a fraction
of the American wage. In this case
efficiency has conquered cheapness,
but the American shipowner fondly
imagines that he can reverse this pro-
cess and conquer the world with cheap
labor"

LOGGING is DANGER
GUS

Olympia, Wash.-Logging in west

hazardous occupation in the north
west, according to the state depart
ment of labor and industries.
"This is due" it is stated, ito the
following reasons: Size of timber
dense underbrush, windfalls, felled
timber; broken country and steep side
hills" The latter condition causes
accidents from rolling logs and run
away logging trains.
The size of the timber ranges from
8 to 8 feet in diameter for fir trees
and 6 to IL feet in diameter for ce.

PRETTY WORDS
Lisped By Rail Stockholders
To Blind Public

Philadelphia.-At their last meet
ing in this city stockholders of the
Pennsylvania railroad declared for
that reasonable, intelligent under
standing and accord between EMPLOYEES
and managers, railroad and public,
which is essential for happy relations,
constructive action and best results /"
This string of words has been
played up" by every newspaper
trained seal who ignores this rail
roads defiance of law and moral
right, and which is backed up by a
federal injunction.
The railroad labor board has ruled
that when this railroad established
its company union" it refused trade
union employees voice in the election.
The railroad has been ordered to hold
new election, but this has not been
done.
To stop the railroad labor board
from making public the facts in this
and other cases, the railroad secured
an order from Federal Judge Lands,
last December, prohibiting the board
from issuing their statement. This
injunction is still in effect.
Only recently the interstate COM
merce commission showed that the
Pennsylvania awarded contracts to
the Baldwin locomotive works which
permitted the company to charge the
railroad $25,799 for repairs which cost
but S9,435 in the company's own
shops. 1t was shown that the con-
tracts permitted the locomotive COM
pany to place it's own Interpretation
on the document. This resulted in
the company charging the railroad for
extra work that was done because of
the company's negligence or ineffi-
cheney in the first instance. This
second charge was made in hundreds
of cases"
The Pennsylvania stockholders ig-

sweetly lisp their pretty nothings
about their love for the dear public.

HUDSON CONTINUES
 CLOSED GAR LEAD
Output for Second Quarter Record Breaker-EsSex
 Also High

Shipments of Hudson closed cars from the factory during the second quarter of 1922 were 54 per cent of the total production of Super Sl xes during the quarter, according to word just received from the Hudson Motor Car company by A. R. Pryor of the Pryor Motor company, local Hudson Essex dealer. It is believed that this figure continues Hudson well in the lead of all other automobile con- cerns in proportion of closed car out put to total production.
 These figures reveal that the pro- portion of Hudson closed car business has continued at a steadily increas- ing number of cars and at the same proportionate rate even well into the summer. Two months ago the com pany announced that closed car ship- ments of Super-Sixes for the first four months of 1922 were 55 per cent of it's total output
 Essex closed car shipments for the same period were 41 per cent of its quarterly production. This volume Is remarkable when the price class, which ranges from s1,o95 to $1.295, is considered.
 Production of Hudson and Essex cars for the second quarter made it the largest second quarter the com pany ever had. Two of the three months during this quarter-May and June-set up new high output and sales records.
 Hudson officials feel certain that the Super-Six will lead all other companies in the country in the pro- portion of closed car production this year. They also believe that pro- duction of Essex closed models for the entire year will be in excess of half the total Essex output.

Proposal That Senators "huestigate" Themselues
 NoW Troubling Members
Gooding Resolution, Suppressed by Republicans May Be Campaign Material for Democrats in Fall Elections-Welcomed Means of
 Delaying Tariff Measure

of today Is not so much of mil lionaire's club" as 1t was Is or 20 years ago-the direct primary sys- tenn had something to do with that despite the fact that many opponents of the primary contend that no one short of a millionaire has a chance to win a primary nomination in a populous state. However. there still are many senators of wealth and affluence and an attempt to bar them from voting on the tariff if they were directly or indirectly in terested in affected products, would cause many complicatinons.
 Suggestion Offensive.
 The suggestion that senators be called up and compelled to tell all of their business associations was very offensive to members of the body generally, and there was no chance from the first, that any such investigation would be ordered. The democrats realized this full we'll even some democratic senators are wealthy, but they quickly seized upon the situation to make political capital out of 1t, and they have sue ceeded to large extent. The repub- licans have been maneuvered virtu- ally into the position of having sup pressed" the proposed inquiry.
 All along it has been recognized in Washington that there are certain wool senators. certain sugar senators. metal senators. cotton senators, lem on senators. olive senators. powder senators, textile senators, boot and shoe senators, steel senators and an infinite vsriety of others To sug- gest that they should not vote upon 8 tariff bill which is of vital inter- est to them is a violation of the first law of nature, they say, and therefore is preposterous.
 Senate calm may be restored by the shelving of the resolution, but 1t will be long time before the re- publicans hear the last of 1t.
