TEXTILE STRIKE
 IS PREDICTED
McMahon Foresees Walk. out Of 65,000 Rhode
 Island Operatives

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 17.-"A hair \trigger industrial situation exists among textile workers of Rhode Island" !" Thomas F. McMahon, president of the United Textile Workers of America, de- clared in statement Wednesday.
 A strike, possibly involving the en- tire 65,00O textile workers in the state, seems certain, McMahon said, as re- suit of recent 10 per cent wage cuts in four of one company's plants. The sit uation is aggravated, he pointed out, by the fact that last summers slackperiod piled up unpaid bills for the workers.
 McMahon, here admittedly for the purpose of organizing the workers to combat the wage cut, also announced this his organization would have the active support of another textile union the Amalgamated textile workers of America.
 He fuEther pointed out that whereas raw motion had dropped from 35 to 25 cents a pound, there had been no com mensurate reduction in the price of fin- ished goods. In view of this," Me- Mahon said, "the workers naturally ask why the cut is necessary"
 It is McMahon's announced intention call strike, but he now intimates that to organize the workers and then to the strike may occur on the Initiative of the workers before his organization is completed.

NEW JOINT HAUL BY WARRIOR LNE|
 AND L.&N. SOUGHT
Service Proposed Would Link Montgomery With
 New Orleans

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 17.-Proposal for a combination barge-rail rate from New Orleans and points east via Mo- bile to Montgomery and points north, will be discussed at conference the latter port of this month in Washing ton by Gen. T. Q. Ashburn of the in land waterways corporation and Louis vile and Nashville railroad authorities, according to information at the traffic department of the Chamber of Com merce. Information that the confer ence would be held follows a discussion of the question of operation of barges from Mobile to Montgomery on the Alabama river, while General Ashburn was iii Montgomery a few days ago.
 General Ashburn told the Montgom- cry delegation, which desired the opera tion of barges from the port of Mobile that the laws governing the inland waterways corporation were not elastic enough to permit the additional system in Alabama waters.
 It is now proposed to use the War rior barge line for cargoes destined for Montgomery and points north, as far as Mobile, transferring the freight to the Louisville and Nashville for distri- button. It is believed that low barge rail rate would cause an increase in the business of the barge line as well as the railroad. The rail rate from New Orleans to Montgomery is said to be so high that business dealings are confined to sections not on the river barge system.
 The Washington conference, tenta- lively set for September g, it is stated, will result in a thorough discussion of the proposed rail and water rates.

COOLIDGE NAMED
Declared Principal Of Mysterious Me
 Lean Telegram.


 WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-Presi- dent Coolidge was the ''principal' men, toned in the mysterious telegram sent to E. B. Mclean during the oil scandal investigation last winter, according to the La Follette-Wheeler campaign text book, just oqE
 Ira Bennett, editor of the Washing ton Post, who sent the telegram, de- nied at the time that Coolidge was meant and said Senator Curtis of Kan sas, was the principal" Curtis denied this.
 '"The progressives now flatly charge Mir. Coolidge with being the principal referred to in the telegram" the inde- pendent textbook says. This telegram clearly indicated that while MT. Cool idge was making a gesture in support of the oil investigation, he was in reality in sympathy with those who sought to disc-edit the investigation as 'unwarranted political'attacks' and gave the aid of his high office to men who admit that they conspired with and lied to protect the chief criminals in the case"
 The textbook recites findings of all scandal investigations last winter and also goes back into the republican war graft investigation of the Wilson admin istra ton.
 Progressive headquarters announced that during the next few weeks they intend to rip the lid off the rottenness in the government wherever it exists. showing neither fear nor favor to men of high or low degree" Democrats and republicans alike are to be hit, it was stated

 Reviewing these economic conditions, Mir. Davis declared that never in all the history of America was there less reason to erect Chinese wall around her borders and cut off productive com merce with the outside world" Point ing out that the republican press had condemned the measure "as even more out of line with the times than the Payne-Aldrich bill was in 19O9," he said that tested by any standard, a bill of this sort does not protect, but mere ly exploits"

 "As against this legislative monstros- lty and in substitution for it, the demo- cratic party proposes to reform the tariff by revising downward the exist ing duties to truly competitive basis, and by eliminating all favoritism and the-evlls that flow from it. We do not propose any ruthless and vindictiye siasnlng of rates to gratify political ami mositles or class antagonism. We are fully aware that the cutting of duties IS an operation requiring care to avoid Jeopardizing the stability and sense of security that are essential to the trans action of business.
 "We have no resentment hut onlv frlendliness, toward legitimate business falrly conducted; but we do intend to withdraw the invitation extended in the form ot exorbitant rates of duty to proflt through mOnopolistic control of production markets and price. We pro- pose to permit competition effective enough to stimulate enterprise to pre- vent monopoly and to discourage obso- Iete or impractical prs esses and eduip- ment or bad management, indolence. waste and neglect" =

Cazalas and deputies on an order from the equity side of the circuit court applied for by State So- licitor Bart B. Chamberlain. Ar xhe same time Sheriff Cazalas and his men removed from the vessel 15 barrels of wine on the strength of the court order.
 The steamer was raided on Monday last by the forces of the sheriff and 9 cases of imported wines, whisky and cordials removed from the ship on a search and seizure warrant; and Lo- renzo Giovaitti, the steward, and Mi cola Martino and Ciuffardi Pietro ar rested on charges of violating the pro hibition law. Giovaitti, after the state is through with him, will be turned over to the federal authorities. This defendant admitted, according to So- licitor Chamberlain, to breaking the government seal on liquors stored on the vessel. .s
 The complaint filed by the state soli- citor with the court, alleges that the steamship, Vallescura, was used for the illegal conveyance of prohibited liquors in this country; that on Sep tember 12, last, the sheriff of the coun- ty found prohibited liquors on the steamship, which had been illegally transported from one point in Mobile county to another poin in the county i; that on September 12, last, the steward of the ship sold and offered for sale on board the vessel, prohibited liquors il- legally transported, all of which was done with the consent of Angelo 6iario, who was master of the steamship at that time; that the steamship was used as a place for the drinking of prohibited liquors, the storage .of prohibited liquors and the sale of prohibited liquors.
 / A run of "hard luck" has earned the name of "jinx ship" for the vessel. Her captain recently was shot by a seaman and later died, while one of her mates is in the hospital suffering from appen- dicitis.
