PROFITS LARGE
But Would Rather Close
Down Mills Than to Grant
Living Wage

New York.-The declaration by Fall
River cotton mill barons that they will
close their plants rather than increase
wages is made in the face of increas-
ing prosperity, stock dividends and
the Fordney- cCumber tariff.
1t is generally agreed that the mill
barons virtually dictated the cotton
schedule of the present tariff law.
This assurance of prosperity for the
bosses is supplemented by recent stock
dividends, which have been issued to
escape the income tax and create
larger amount of stock over which in
ordinate profits may be spread.
In financial circles it is agreed
that the textile industry is facing an
era of prosperity. Now the organ
lied textile workers are demanding
wage increases. The executive coun-
ell of the United Textile Workers re-
minds these wage earners of the pro-
fits in this industry, and calls on them
to demand that textiles assure liv-
ing wage to every employe.
The manufacturers have unlocked
their chamber of horrors and are pa
rading the well-known poverty plea.
They also hope the workers will for
get the stock dividends and how the
cotton schedule was passed.
The textile workers are not sur
prised at these time-worn tactics. But
they know that their solidarity can
work wonders, even in the mind of
mill baron.

ANTS RAISE WAGES

Cohoes, N. Y.-A 10 per cent wage
increase is announced by anti-union
knitting mills in this district, and is
intended to offset agitation by the
United Textile Workers of America
for restoration of wage cuts the
past two years.
The present increase is less than
half of the total wage reductions, but
the bosses are hopeful that employees
will be satisfied and give "agitators"
wide berth.

planned. A provision of the lease
states that the contract can be ter
minated by either party by giving the
other 60 days notice in writing. but
only when the city wants the property
back for the purpose of making a
burial park can it serve this notice on

Stinson Field is owned by the city

must first receive permit approved
