Hoover Turns Down
Agricultural Post
Content with Berth

Washington, Jan. 16.-Herbert
| Hoover, who two years ago declined
| the interior secretaryship from the
hands of President Harding. has re-
fused an offer of the agriculture de-
partment portfolio from President
Coolidge.
Mr.. Hoover intends to remain in the
cabinet but prefers to stay at the head
of the department of commerce rather
than direct the activities of the de-
partment of agriculture.
The president offered the agriculture
secretaryship to Mr.. Hoover because
he regards the commerce head as the
type of man he desires to succeed
Howard Nj. Cora man qualified to
supervise in a business way the many
activities of the agriculture depart
ment, and particularly one who could
so direct departmental efforts as to aid
the farmers of the country in obtaining
better and more direct markets. Mr..
Hoover in the course of his work in
the commerce department, has made
somewhat of a study Of marketing
methods, and his services for that rea-
son Mr.. Coolidge felt would be of great
value in the agriculture post.
Mr.. Hoover's name also was includ-
ed in n list of those recommended for
the agriculture secretaryship. and Mr..
Coolidge thought that inasmuch as he
was a part of the administration he
should be given an opportunity to take
the place if he desired it. This list
was shown by Mr.. Coolidge today to
visitors. and as now constituted con-
tains about 200 names.
Secretary Hoover declined the pres
ident's offer on the ground that he felt
his present office furnished him with
greater opportunity for public service
and because of several programs of ac-
tivity which he had been unable to
complete.

Fail to Muster Tw0-Thirds

It was necessary for five, or two
thirds of the seven unions, to vote
in favor Of a strike in order for the
textile council to authorize such ac-
ton.
The weavers' union voted 4 to / in
favor of a strike. The mule spin
ners had majority in favor Of
striking, but not the necessary two
thirds vote. The carders and ring
spinners voted against striking and
tt , loom fixers lacked SO, out of a,
total Of about 600 votes, of the neces-
sary two thirds to carry strike &C
ton. The result Of the balloting of
the ring twisters, slasher tenders and
warp twisters was not given out. the
action of the carders and ring spin
ners. mule spinners and loom fixers
be ing sufficient to block strike ac-
ton.
The following statement was given
out after the meeting Of the textile
council: THE textile workers of
this city in voting to accept, by a
minority vote reduction in wages,
at this time, did so only with the be-
lief that in the near future a much
moro prosperous condition Of BUSH
ness will assert itself. This will pro-
vide a more favorable opportunity to
make the fight for a readjustment Of
wages.
1--WE think in tie present instance,
that the New Bedford manufacturers
have not cut wages because they
thought it was warranted. but simply
for the reason that other localities
have done so. We also believe the
very near future will prove that their
action has been an unwise one. The
only result from the present cut will
be an accumulation of Ill will and a
feeling of injustice among the oper-
att res.
1.-THE financial sacrifice made by
TIE operatives during the depression
have been so much greater than all
t. sacrifices made by all others in
the industry that we think a cut in
wages should not have been made
till at least time had demonstrated
the extent to which the present pros
perity Of the country will affect the
general situation"
