WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 10.-Cri-
ticism and retort continue in the wake
of the shenandoah disaster as the re-
yived air service controversy stirs up
more interest in congressional circles.
Secretary Wilbur declared in a formal
STATEMENT issued to correct certain
misleading assertions that there was
nothing whatever political in con-
neetion with the Shenandoah flight. In
that flight as well as that of the lost
seaplane PN-9 No. /. the commanding
officers, he asser'.. were given entire
.fresdnp IN selecting The time Of the
f1i"hts and were confident of their sue
cess.
Also, he regards as entirely disproven
the theory that reduction in the number
of escape valves might have contributed
TO the Shenandoah's collapse.
The opinion. however, of Capt. Anton
Heinen, dirigible construction engineer,
that reduction of the number of es-
cape valves made the Shenandoah un-
safe is one of the questions that will
be inquired into at a forthcoming con-
gressional investigation of the disaster.
announced by chairman Butler of the
house of naval affairs committee.
Congress to Probe Charges.
The committee. chairman Butler said
also will investigate the attack of. Col.
William Mitchell on the administration
of the air services, in which he included
the assertion that politics had dictated
the Shenandoah flight as an effort to
offset failure of the navy's arctic and
Hawaiian flights. Statements attributed
to Mrs. Zachary Lansdowne, widow OF
the Shenandoah's commander, that her
husband had opposed the flight but
which she has since denied making, also
will be looked into by tie coinmittee.
In his reply to criticism concerning
the Shenandoa's flightsSecretary Wilbur
declared that the fact that the gas bags
did not explode and were intact after
the ship broke up, showed that the
change in the escape valves was in no
way responsible for the accident.
The contrary opinion of Capt. Heinen
also is challenged by Lieut.. Commander
Charles E. Rosendahl. navigator and
senior surviving officer of the Shenan-
doah who declared in statement at
Lakehurst. N. j., that Heinen's supposi-
tion was absolutely unreasonable. The
naval officer treated Col. Mitchells sta
tements concerning the Shenandoah as
"big joke.

lS2O-during which 80 per cent cash
dividends and 100 per cent stock div
idends were the routine of life of New
England textile stockholders-tha
1t was these golden floods which sat
urated the south with capital and
made cotton mills grow there like
mushrooms. The very name Of the
New England southern mills" tho
this one was not itself successful
venture, illustrates the trend.
New England newspapers boast to-
day that atlanta is a Northern city"
They might add that Virginia, the
Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia are today New England
states"---as far as the cotton textile
industry Is concerned.
No Labor Unions In South
/ The power that this gives to the
monster textile combine is immeasur-
able. And the combine is using every
ounce Of that power. A peculiar feat
ure of its is seen in the fact that in
the south the textile industry finds
practically a virgin field in regard to
labor. In the southern villages where
the mills are set up, or small, old mills
re-equipped, labor unionism has Writ
ually never been heard of. The ira
ditions of slavery and the theology
Of mountaineer agriculture, of potato
patches and one-mule farms, are still
to be found-and valued by the north
! eFn capitalists who have had their ex.
periences of Lawrence and Paterson
and Fall River. Result: THERE is
AN ABSOLUTE EMBARGO AGAINST
THE MIGRATION OF ANY MILL
WORKERS FROM THE NORTH TO
THE SOUTH!
For example, the Standard Daily
Trade Service said last December:
Resistance to wage reductions in
the south is not expected to be strong,
inasmuch as THIS is A NONUNION
SECTION, but in New England the
workers will in all probability unite
to oppose them. Probably the big

hold over the northern companies
(the publication here ignores that the
southern and the northern mills are
the right and the left hands Of the
same capital) is Iower-eost labor.
Wages are considerably lower in the
south, to the extent apparently of rs
to 30 per cent. In addition, the work.
ing week is longer than in the north.
Whereas the week in the southern
mills ranges from So to so hours, the
4e hour week is more or less general
in the northern factories"
Here we have the picture: The
mountaineer-farmer. accustomed with
wife and children to hoeing his corn
patch from sun-up to shutdown in the
clean air of the hills, and living, half
starved, on sow-belly and corn-pone,
is lured down to the trap of the big
new mill with offer of money wages.
