HUGE TEXTILE PROFITS.

New York, Dec 2o-H IS most sig nihcant that the strike of eastern tex tile workers against wage reductions IS almost simultaneous with stock dividend declarations by concerns in this industry. These stock dividends fairly indicate the profits in textiles and woolens.
 A new high water mark in these increases was set by the Davis & Brown Woolen Company, a relatively small concern, which expanded it's capital stock from $I5,ooo to $5oo,ooo by stock dividend of 3,233 per cent
 Pacific Mills has announced "a 100 per cent stock dividend, increasing it's from $Io,ooo,ooo to $2o,- 100000
 The above are indicative of the pol icy of these eastern manufacturers who have used the forces of govern ment in their attempt to, cut wages and lengthen hours.

RAIL STRIKERS es DEMAND $25,ooo
 FROM GARY, IND.


 During the railroad strike there was a wreck on the Michigan Central at Gary, IL, and number of passengers killed. Two strikers, Joseph Pepour- witch and John Petrowski, were ar rested in Chicago and taken to Gary, the newspapers clarryIng glaring headlines intimating that the strikers caused the wreck The two men ar rested were beaten by the police in an effort to make them confess.
 A grand jury investigation disclosed the wreck was caused by a defective engine with fanges worn so thin they rode the rails It was also shown the two men arrested had never been in Gary. However, the newspapers said nothing about this. They, of course, were released.
 The two strikers are now suing the town of Gary for $25,ouo, and it looks as though they will get the money.

RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
 AT ITS OLD GAME

Chicago, Dec. 2o.-The Railroad Labor Board has re-affrmed its op- position to the eight-hour day for maintenance-ofway employees by de nying time and one-half after eight hours work. The long work day will also apply to Sundays and holi- days.
 In a dissenting opinion, A. 0. Wharton, one of the labor represen- tatives on the board, called attention to discomfort and unrest among rail- road employees. "An examination of the decisions of this board" he said, Twill disclose that. there has been but one decision issued during, it's exist ence that represented any betterment of working conditions"
 This challenge of the boards par tiality to the railroads, by one of the boards own members, infuriated Chairman Hooper, who seemed to think that one wrong justihes anoth- CT, and because the farmer has been wronged, the railroad employe should not object This IS the flippant reas- oning of the chairman:
 "In view of the suffering and loss es of the farmers and producers of the country, from which railroad la Dor has been largely exempt, the rail- road employees should consistently subdue their unrest and devote their enthusiastic exertions to the efficient service of the people who ar paying for it."

WHY PIERCE BUTLER? ASKS A. E. OF L. CHIEF

Washington, Dec. 2o.-"Why Pierce Butler?" asks President Gompers in American Federationist, January is sue, in discussing President Harding s latest appointment to the United States supreme court.
 MT. Gompers points to the certainty that railroad valuation cases will come before the supreme court within the next few years, and he expresses the opinion that Pierce Butler, as an ex- pert on railroad valuation, would logi- cally be railroad expert in that ques- tion"
 This appointment, the trade union ist says, is one of the longest steps yet taken by President Harding back to what he calls 'normalcy.' Pierce Butler belongs in the class. called re- actlonary. There are a number of things about him which ought to be generally known. Butler is regent of the University of Minnesota As such 1t Is reliably reported that he has been continuously antagonistic toward professors of liberal mind, and that he has been illiberal and domineering.'
 When man whose life has been marked by corporation leanings and sympathies and alliances takes to the
 
 rate-making, it is fair to suspect that his conclusions in his favored field will be tinged with the point of view of the corporation in that field.
 Within a short time the United States interstate commerce commis- sion must complete it's valuation of the physical property of the railroads. It is assured in advance that this vaIu- ation will be promptly contested in the courts by the railroads, no mar ter what the figures may be.
 "In due course of time the court contests will reach the supreme court of the United States.
 And there will be Pierce Butler, the valuation expert!
 "We shall not prolong the argu- ment, but we do ask one question:
 "1s there anything forehanded about the appointment of Pierce But Ter to be associate justice Of the United States supreme bench ?"

'PAUPER' RAILROADS USE MONEY LAVISHLY

Chicago, Dec 2o.-The $I,75o,ooo expended for guards by the federal administration to aid the railroads in the shop men's strike IS but a minor expense.
 The actual cost to the railroads will probably newer be known, says the railway employees department Tn their buleltin. A study of railroad re ports to the interstate commerce ciIn- mission and their poisonous propa- ,ganda disseminated to the American public, disclose that they have, by manipulation and financial juggling of reports, so covered up the actual cost of the strike and lockout as to make an. exact accounting almost impos- sible. Proceeding, however, upon the basis of those fhmgs that are known, 1t Is conservative estimate that this policy has cost the railroads of this country between $4o, GOO, ,ooo and $5o,- COG, ,ooo since July I.
 What the ultimate cost may be in the replacement of worn out equip ment, much of which is prematurely worn out through lack of competent is enough to stagger ones 
 "It IS an amusing thought to re- caa1 that railroads that are squander- ing their substance have repeatedly stated to t1Ge railroad labor board that unless they were relieved from the 'burdensome rules and the excessive wages they would be forced into bankruptcy. How qualified they are for fu11 fedged membership in the Ananias club is proven by study of hese figures"
