Labor's attitude promises to furnish
a new and complicating basis for dis
cussion the next time Congress tackles
the tariff. The demand of William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. that reduced wage
in textile mills be followed by with
drawsl of tariff protection from such
mills. is interpreted by many observ-
ers as a departure from the ira
ditional policy of organized labor.
"Mr Green's demand, if taken TO
Congress" the Chicago Ea.iy News,
independently believes, may result in
a valuable discussion of the relation
of protection to wages. and the posi-
bility of attacking monopoly. where
it exists and abuses its privileges,

Generalization
Reviewing the textile industry as
whole, the Birmingham News, Tin
dependent Democratic) observes: "On
the face of the argument as applied
to the wool manufacturers, President
Green's reasoning is entirely sound.
But 1t appears that the troubles of the
manufacturers and the unions en-
gagged in the cotton industry are
largely confined to the New Eng
land district. In other sections of
the country, notably the Carolinas,
Georgia and Alabama. there has not
been the difficulty experienced by
the Northeast. Obviously, this situs
ton must be reckoned. too, particu-
larly since recent industrial sur
veys disclose that New England is
too far from the center of distribu
tion to compete successfully with the
South in cotton manufacture. As
suredly. there must eventually be a
lowering of the tariff, but this reduc
ton must come only when European

spinners."

gram, Republican, emphasizes the
fact that organized labor has not sup
ported the free trade theory, but has
been for protection" and asserts that

all who believe in protection. must
seem unwise from the standpoint of
both mill owners and workers" The

by vote of twelve to three in the

Whenever it falls into disrespect or
