AGAINST INCREASED
 TARIFF ON COTTON
Chairman Of COuYerterS Says
 Public Would Pay Bill

New York, Jan. S.-An increased tariff on fine cotton goods would re- suit in domestic manufacturers rais- ing their prices and letting the pub lie pay the bill, Henry r. Westh ei- mer, chairman of the impoE CTS group of the convcrters' associ3tion
 of New York, said today in replying to recent statement of Morgan Butler, treasurer of the Butler mill s in New Bedford, Mass, and presi- dent of the national cotton manufaC- turcrs' association. Ar. Butler had
 said that the tariff bill of 1922 had proved inadequate for the protec- ton of New Bedford mills, and that only reduction in the cost of pro-
 duction or a higher tariff would adc- quately protect American standards. In an analysis of MT. Buffers
 statement, Mir. Westheimer said:
 "The tariff act of 1922 raised
 rates on cotton piece goods. MT.
 Butler states the importation in
 creased. If the rates were to be
 again advanced and the demand for certain imported merchandise, such
 as cotton broadcloths, continues to increase, the logical conclusion is a still further volume Of importation.
New Britain herald., 1925-01-08

of, as the facts prove, demand for imported merchandise cannot be restricted by reasonable advances in the tariff, what can be gained by MT. Butler and his associates.
 "A short time past a special in vestigation was made by the tariff commission and comprehensive re- port flied, which showed that com parable cloth, made in our country was being sold at from 10 Is per cent less than the imported.
 Adequate protection for New Bedford mills by prohibitive rates means exclusion--then the domestic manufacturers can raise their prices and the public pay the bill in full.
 "Mr. Butler draws a percentage comparison by stating: "A volume equal 10 o5 per cent of the total nor nal production of mills In the United States equipped to make New Bed ford goods was imported in 1923.' As matter of fact, large propor- ton of the merchandise imported in 1922. 1923 and 1924 consisted Of ginghanls. sateens and broadcloths, made from carded Egyptian cotton and competing with Fall River and southern manufacturers and not with New Bedford; nevertheless. such productions have been excluded in figuring radically incorrect per Centage.
 "The importers of cotton goods do not demand or require an unreason- ably low tariff and base their suc- cess on superior workmanship and their ability to introduce new fabrics which meet the public demands. Until New Bedford becomes educat- ed to the real problem, they will continue to look for protective class legislation as cure-all for inade- quacy of organization"

COTTON WORKERS
 ACCEPT WAGE CUT
Fall River Textile Association Makes Decision on Reduction

Fall River, Mass, Jan. s.--A deci- sion to accept the ten per cent wage reduction announced recently by the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers as- sociation to become effective on Jan- uary IF, was made last night at a meeting of the Fall River textile council, representing six local labor unions. The meeting was called to discuss the action to be taken in view of the announcement and to consider the adyisability of calling a strike. The reduction will effect be- tween 10000 and 25,O0O workers. it is estimated.
 The weavers' and mule spinners' unions are said to have voted In fav- or of a strike at the meeting last night but will be governed by the de- cision of the majority. The loom fiXers rejected the wage cut an- nouncement but did not pass strike vote. The carders and slasher tend CTS voted to accept the wage cut un- der protest and the yarn finishers accepted the reduction No action was taken by the doffers' union as no official notification of the cut has been given them.

# You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised. all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is piain--the ar ticle did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly 10 medicine. A me- dicinal preparation that has real cur atiye value almost sells itself. as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who arc in need Of it.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, 6 preparation ] have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, ss many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc- cess of pr.
