TEXTILE WORKERS i, ORDERED NOT TO v ~ ACCEPT PAY CUT
Union Acts In Case of 5000 Employees s~, of the Manville-Jenckes
 Company.

New York, Sept. 13-Textile Work CTS numbering 5000, in the eight mills of the Manville- Jenckes Company in Rhode Island and North Carolina, were instructed to accept no wage cuts in resolution adopted by the United' Tex tile workers of America today.
 The convention delegates representing 58,OOO textile workers, also passed res olution endorsing the La Toilette Wheeler ticket with a proviso similar to that adopted by the American Fed eration of Labor that they would have the right to support candidates friendly to labor in the various states.
 The La Follette-Wheeler resolution, it was explained by Thomas F. McMahon international president of the union, did not commit the organization to support the independent ticket in it's entirety, but left it free to back candidates for any party who should be considered friendly to the interests of organized labor.
 In adopting the resolution instructing the Rhode Island and North Carolina workers not to accept a proposed ten per cent. wage decrease, the convention voted to resort to any necessary action, morally and financially" in arriving at satisfactory solution of the situation The Manville-Jenckes Corporation re- gently organized with $39,O00,O0O cap italization, operates textile mills at Paw tucket, Woonsocket and Manville, R. l., and Gastoria, N. C.
 It was announced that the convention would make a special order of business tomorrow discussion of plans for the amaIgamation of all textile workers in the country with the United Textile Workers of America.

 The delegation was received at the White House a little before noon on Labor Day and after they had been seated in the East Room, President Coolidge delivered a lengthy address i'll which he emphasized the high wages paid American workers and attributed this happy state of affairs to a high pro- tective tariff and the restriction of inn migration.

 An examination of the list supplied by the White House shows that IA participated in the gathering. T. V.

In Ohio, Iowa and Kansas twice as much coal is shipped in as is produced by the mines of those states.

In addition business men of all kinds would profit by spending their money at home in view of the fact that the local product is as good, or even better, than the coal shipped in
 District officials of the United Mine Workers have been urged to cooperate i with operators and others in inducing people to buy home-mined coal and thus making business better for everybody.

CASEY AT THE BAT (Continued from Page One)

The members of No. AZ have been given to understand that two of the delegates representing the local, and they are members of this large news paper chapel, voted in favor of taking the endorsement from The Labor News at the Trades Council meeting at which time a censorship committee was appointed to take care of all news that was printed in the future. Why was the committee appointed? Did the members do or say something they were ashamed to see in print or to have the public know? As far as we have been able to find out the only thing or things printed in The Labor News were what happened at the meeting | of the Council. Then why if every thing done was all for the good of unionism was the censorship committee appointed? In regard to the support of labor paper perhaps 1t would be best for two of No. 47's delegates to the Council to refer to the I. T. U. Book of Laws in regard to labor paper support by Typographical Unions on page 112, Section 12, Resolutions, as | follows:
 The International Union urges up on all unions the advisability and necessity of subscribing for the bona fde labor press Gf any exist in their 1 jurisdiction) as unions for all the mem bers of the local union, to be paid for from the treasury of the local union, and render further support, such as patronizing of its advertisers to the exclusion of others, provided also that unfair firms or merchandise are not advertised in its columns, to the end that the value of it's columns as an advertising medium may be fully appre- ciated by the friendly element of its community"
 The above is reprinted verbatim from the l. T. U. Book of Laws of 1924 if for no other reason that the two members mentioned before may be made aware of what the Typo graphical Union is supposed to do.
 It IS reported that at the last meet ing of No. 47 one of the delegates to

 The Schleifer bill was passed at the last session of the General Assembly, during the time that Mr. Scleifer, In- ternational Organizer for the Machin- ists was on trial charged with melting riot. MT.

 In conclusion permit me to say brief ly that the State Federation has a repu- tation that all can be proud of, 1t is ut terly impossible for me to attempt to submit in writing the many duties of your secretary or the achievements for the benefit of the Wage Farmers of our State. To the Officers of Building Trades Councils, Central Labor Unions and local unions 1 extend to them my sincere appreciation for their splendid cooperation during the many years of our association. I have tried to comply with the requests made upon me for my services and have disappointed no Organization making such request to my knowledge.

platform as adopted later in the con vention was gem of wit and buncombe.
 It declared unswerving faith in Coolidge and Dawes because of their courageous public service, declared for enforcement of all laws although the delegates had no hesitancy over the con- vention in breaking a certain we'll known and widely cussed law would have all future constitutional amend ments voted on by the people at large, would reduce taxes, praised our fine state roads without mentioning their cost to the taxpayers, slapped COnnectl- cut republicans on the back for reduc- ing the state debt bewailed the fate of worthy widows with dependent children, pledged revision of the medical laws so as to keep out quacks without referring to the political quacks, pledged more aid to the number of insane constantly growing since prohibition, pledged the security of property rights and wound up with bid for the ''dry'' vote by de- nanding an administration pledged to enforce all laws. Then the committee went and "histed one" and voted it a good dayswork
 Then the convention nominated Bing- ham, turned down Wadhams for his running mate and chose Sen. Trumbull of Plainville, picked up fellow named Rogers to succeed Treasurer Harold Gilpatric, bank wrecker, renomlnated Secretary Pallotti to please the Italian vote, renominated Comptroller Salmon to keep the fishes in the party on the line and selected seven presidential cleo tors headed by Manufacturer Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia Then that the delegates might not be led to believe they were not necessary at the conven- ton at all, the machine staged a fight on party rules and when the time came let the delegates think they had won and the convention adjourned.
