CALLS FOR CAPITAL
CUT IN TEXTILE MILLS
Union Official Replies to
Wage Reduction Demand.

In answering the textile manufacture
ers' demand for a 20 per cent. wage cut
Russell Palmer. secretary of the Anal
gamated Textile Workers of America,
said last night capitalization should be
reduced 80 per cent.
Mr.. Palmer bases his statement upon
the inspection Of a report on the fl
nances of the Consolidated Textile Cor
poration. which operates seventeen mills
in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The report states that the Consoli-
dated. organized in 1919 has placed such
a heavy burden of capitalization and
fixed charges on the plants which 1t
bought that 1t must either find way
to continue the abnormal war and post
war profits or face the probability of il
shrinkage in the book value OF its capi-
talization.

CONCRETE ROAD MATERIALS
Engineers Making Experiments to De-
termine Just What Are Best and
Right Proportions.

Experiments to determine Just what
kinds of materials are best for con-
crete, and In what proportions TO mix
them so that they will wear well In a
road, are being made by engineers of
the bureau of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture. An
apparatus will be used that consists of
heavy steel wheels which, guided by a
mechanical arrangement, roll continu.
ously back and forth over the pave
ment.
More than forty different sections Of
concrete pavement, each ten feet long,
will be laid Materials from many diff
ferent parts of the country are being
shipped to the government experiment
farm at Arlington. Va. near Washing
ton. They will be mixed with vary
ing quantities of cement and water to
determine which is hest. Experience
has shown that there Is a measurable
amount OF wear of the surface Of a
concrete road each year.

Each state and Its Completion
VIII Be Big Factor in
Further DEVELOPMENT.

Despite the fact that this is the
motor age, that the automobile has
been universally adopted as the high
way vehicle, and that federal, state
and county agencies have for several
years accelerated road building, actual
touring experience shows that there
has not been developed single trans
continental road, making an automo-
bile trip from coast to coast pos
sibillty at all times. In order to make
such trip possible throughout the
year a program is now taking shape
under the auspices of the Lee High
way association assisted by the Amer
icun Automobile association.
Most Feasible Route.
As result of this cooperation, the
federal government, through the
United States bureau OF public roads,
and the states of Virginia, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas. New
Mexico, Arizona and California,
through their state road departments,
are now engaged in the selection of
the most direct feasible route from
Washington, ID. c., to San Diego, Cal.
Subsequently effort Is to be concen-
trated for the speedy completion of
all unfinished sections, and for the
systematic maintenance and the wild
enlng and strengthening of the pave
ment as required by the volume and
character of the traffic the pavement
will be required TO carry.
Already the route has been selected
from Washington In a southwest dag
onal down the valleys of Virginia and
Tennessee through Roanoke. Bristol
and knoxville to Chattanooga. The
next step is to fix the route from
Chattanooga to San Diego.

IMPORTANT FUNCTION

Car Held to the Road Without
Slipping and side-sway on

Some car owners think tire treads

leave advertisements on soft roads
But II such trifiing considerations were
suggested to the scientists who create

As tire revolves there forms q
bulge Just ahead OF where II Is in con-
tact with the road. This bulge Is
called "tractive wave" Although
the bulge always stays In the same re-
lation TO the road, the revolving OF the
wheel has the apparent effect Of max
ing 1t travel around the tire.
In plain tread tires the full force OF
this wave continues to roll around the
tire. But where tread with ribbed
OF cogged backbone is used the wave
Is divided to certain extent and
thrown off at the sides. Some tire
treads are smooth. some corrugated
and some indented, but the purpose OF
them all is to overcome this wave. The
decorative effect Is only Incidental.
Another important function of the
tire tread Is to resist slipping and side.
