workers are not in any union
even tho there has been a
myriad of unions in the field.
The convention decided to have all
textile councils under its jurisdiction
establish active organization commit
tees and commence a wide spread
campaign to organize all unorganized
textile workers in these centers.
On the question of the introduction
of the multiple machine system by the
manufacturers the convention In
structed the incoming executive to
wage campaign against the propa-
ganda Of the manufacturers for the
multiple machine system. Under this
system the workers are being speeded
up to an uncomfortable degree. So great
is this speeding up that large army
of textile workers are permanently un-
employed owing to making one work
er do the work of several. This policy
of the bosses is supplementary to the
campaign of wage cuts conducted
against the workers during the last
Few years.
Favors Russian Recognition
The convention went squarely on re-
cord for recognition Of Soviet Russia
by resolution calling on the United
States government to enter into full
diplomatic and commercial relations
with the Soviet government. Another
resolution calls for the NATURALIZATION

The question of greatest immediate
Importance facing the convention was
the relationship of the union to the
Federated Textile Unions of America.
There were two points of view on this
matter. One that stood for the with

federation.
The other viewpoint held that this
was purely negative policy and that

PLYMOUTH. VT. August l5.-
President Coolidge sought the rare
air of his old home ea riier than usual
this morning. He appeared on the
lawn shortly before I o'clock wearing
an old sweater coat, but was hatless
and collarles He appeared TO have
spent a restless night and failed TO
acknowledge the greetings of those
who passed the house. 1t was said
that he had arisen early because of "A
bothersome tooth which 1t is believed
To have been provoked by an eXces
sive eating of maple sugar candy last
night.
AS the President strolled about the
grounds his eye quickly took in all
the old familiar objects. and he ap
peared To be especially interested in
the new asbestos shingle roof. This
had not been completed when he was
here in July. The work upon il had
been interrCpted by his fathers oper-
alton. Before he left, the President
instructed his son John To gather up
the old discarded shingles and place
done before John was allowed TO visit
his parents at White Court. and be
fore he started his training as a cit
izen soldier.
Told to Hurry" to Breakfast.
The President seemed to admire
the pale green color used I'm paint
ing the shingles and told his neigh
bors that he thought the use of cop
per cutters had been good invest
ment. He inspected the old home
stead carefully and walked about the
yards for some time before breakfast
q
that the old church had been touched
up in anticipation Of his and Mrs.
Coolidge's visit tomorrow. They will
attend services at 2:30 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon. Uncle" John Wilder.
50 years old, who married the Pres
ident's aunt and whose place adjoins
the old Coolidge home will sing in
the choir tomorrow.
President CoolIdge's informal con-
stitutional was interrupted at 7:30
when Mrs. Coolidge, dressed in an
attractive informal morning gown.
came from the kitchen and called
her husband to breakfast She ap-
parently had assisted Aunt Aurora
Pierce to prepare the morning meal
at which Col Coolidge, his nurse and
the President and Mrs. Coolidge ate
in family style. The President heard
Mrs. Coolidge's first call and looked
around in acknowledgment. He did
not move at once, however, and again
Mrs. Coolidge called, saying. Hurry,
Calvin, the breakfast is getting cold
and your father does not like any
one to be late"
Warned to Omit Candy.
Apparently the President ate very
little, for he remained in the house
less than 20 minutes after he had

PEDESTRIAN ARMY
READY TO FALL IN
Crossing Dozens of Streets
as Told by Officers to Be-
gin Tomorrow.

The theusa nds of pedestrians who
daily cross busy intersections viii
have an opportunity tomorrow morn
ing to cooperate in making a success
of the plan which has been devised to
make their journey safe.
All traffic policemen have been in
structed TO give those who walk time
to reach a place of safety before turn
ing traffic on them from the intersect-
ing street, but traffic officials declared
again last night that the success OF
the system Is in the hands OF the
pedestrians themselves.
Hence these officials Joined last
night in a final appeal to the army
of walkers to do their share tomor-
row morning by obeying the signals
of the officers.
Signals to Walkers.
All officers whether they are op-
Grating semaphores or directing traffic
with their arms, will indicate the
direction OF travel by two distinct
signals on their whistles. If the plan
is to operate smoothly the pedestrian
as well as the motorist Will have to
move and stop with the whistle. The
system is not complicated one.
One blast of the whistle means stop
and two blasts means go. The inter
val of time between the two signals
will be to enable those who are in the
middle of the street to clear the inter
section before traffic bears down upon
them.
While the plan was being tried out
Al Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue last week Inspector Brown OF
the Traffic Bureau had extra police
men at each corner to educate the
pedestrians TO walk with the signals.
But with the system being put into
effect tomorrow at more than 90 in
tersections, it will not be possible for
the department to detail policemen in
are hoping the pedestrians will enter
into the spirit of the system.
To Study Turns.
Acting Traffic Director Moller said
last night that he would devote most
of his time this week TO a study of
the problem of right and left hand
turns by vehicles at policed intersec-
tions with the hope of devising some
method of handling these turns that
will make the cross-walks safer for
pedestrians and eliminate as much
congestion as possible at crossings.
Col Moller admitted. however. that
the task he is about to undertake is
that no change in the present method
of making turns will be tried until
he is satisfied the innovation is a
proper one.
For the time being, Col. Moller said
vehicles will continue to make turns
Is they have always done and exercise
care at the pedestrian cross walks
The acting traffic director found in
trying out the new system of pedes-
trian regulation at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue last week
that the vehicles making turns CON
stituted the only troublesome factor
in getting pedestrians safely across
the thoroughfaFe.
Col. Moller said last night he had
not yet hit upon an improved plan
'or turning that satisfied him suffi-
ciently to be given a try-out. but in
diCated that he would endeavor to
work cut some better plan during the
coming week.

Puts Flowers on Grave.
Before lunch the President and Mrs.
Coolidge drove to the cemetery a nd
placed some fresh flowers upon the
grave OF Calvin. jr The flowers ar
rive weekly from the White House
and during their absence are put on
the grave by Col. Coolidge's nurse.
The flowers along the fence in the
Coolidge yard appeared TO need some
attention and Mrs. Coolidge. after
weeds and turning over the earth.
She is fond of flowers and has q
flower bed of her own in the White
House grounds in which she works.
President Coolidge showed some in
terest in her work and assisted her.
He did not remain at the task long.
When the sight seers caught sight of
him he left his wife and went over to
the woodsheds where the shingles are
packed in two stacks. the good and
bad ones. The stacks seemed in per
feet order and the President seemed
satisfied with his sons work.
The President trip to Plymouth
had been well advertised and many
automobilists included this village in
their itinerary. Although there was a
constant stream OF visitors. they were
not allowed to go in front of the
house. Secret Service men stopped
them at the woodshed. From this
point they could get a good view of
the President and his father on the
piazza.

afternoon, but the President and Mrs.
