INDUSTRIAL spy
INVESTS MILLS
OF FALL RIVER
Cotton Textile Mills
Work Part Time
Rv EsTHER LoWELL.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass.-(FP)-Fall
River and New Bedford cotton textile
workers organized in the American
Federation of Textile Operatives and
in the United Textile Workers unions
were particularly interested in the
British general strike. Many Of these
Massachusetts workers are English,
I.ish or Scotch themselves. Particu-
lally those in the A. F. T. I. are work
ers who came8from Britain rs or 80
years ago.
Work Part Time.
No immediate industrial effect is an
ticipated by Massachusetts, textile
unionists. The cotton textile industry
is still on part-time, part-capacity op-
erations, but the British industry also
has been duh, so that American mills
cannot hope to get much new bust
ness.
Cotton textile mills in New Bedford
are only little more active than those
in Fall River. Abraham Binns, weav-
|ers secretary and textile council presi-
dent, says New Bedford mills are op-
Grating about 1879 of capacity. Weekly
wages average about $40. New Bed
ford mills have increased the number
of machines per worker but not as in
other sections.
Industrial Spies.
Binns says the union workers know
that there is industrial espionage in
the mills. Sen. William M. Butler is
known to have been the directing
power behind the Sherman Service op-
Ierations in Butler Mills and others. A
number Of spies succeeded in getting
into union offices. Binns says they are
ousted when discovered.
The failure of Buffers mills to de-
clare their usual so dividend is taken
as a prop to the senator's plea for
higher cotton textile tariffs. The But
Ter Mills last statement shows S1,976,-
205 reserves from which dividends
could be paid as in other mills. The
mill has S54O,99O additional quick as.
sets for surplus. Butler is expected to
make his campaign for reelection on
the tariff issue.

Track Training

Coach at University of
Southern California.
DELIVERING THE DISCUSS

10 my mind, discuss throwing is
one of the most beautiful events in
the list of field events. 1t may noc
be as spectacular as some, but
duel between two great throwers is
as thrilling and interesting as com
petition in any other event.
The successful discuss man need
not necessarily be a tremendously
big man but he must be quick and
active. Above all he must have a
sense of rhythm, for the movements
Of champion discuss HEAVIER are
beautifully executed. "Budo
Houscr, my star man, has this to
the nth degree and Houser, although
small man, holds every record
worth while. He is Olympic cham
pion with a mark of 151 feet 81
inches, making this in 1924. He
holds the intercollegiate record of
80 feet pa inches made last year
i'll Philadelphia and the A. A. U.
mark at 156 feet 6 inches made in
San Francisco last year. In the
Nurmi meet in Los Angeles he set
a world s mark at 156 feet 3I in
ches.
Learn to "Scale' Weight
The first point to be learned in
discuss throwing is the method of
sealing the weight. The discus
is held flat in the palm of the hand,
fingers well spread, and tips only
extended over the edge and the
thumb held straight.
In learning form it is well to
stand and swing the arm slowly
back and forth to give a little
momentum and then throw the dis
Gus 50 it will sail properly through
the air. This work may be done
without the use of circle, the en-
tire interest being i'll learning the
form, and not trying for distance.
The flight of the discus must be
up and forward while the weight is
living flat in the air, for examaple.
BY using the correct grip and prar-
ticing daily, the athlete will be able
to eliminate the tendency of the
weight to turn slighly upward or
to "wobbIe.' A final pull of the
fingers as the discus leaves the
hand will cause the disc to spin
through the air.
As soon as the athlete is able 10
make the discus scale off the hand
in tho prOner manner, it is often
beneficial to take two short steps
forward aud then throw. Tn this
WAX the weight man slowly learns
tGtime the swing of the arm with
the movement of the feet,
Two Main Methods
There are two methods of travel
ing across the circle. both of which
are good, 7 want to describe one to.
dav and the other soon.
The first style is to stand with
the body in an upright position
with the right foot inst inside the
hark of the circle. The arm is held
fairly close to the BODY. Short,
somewhat ierkv preliminary swings
are then made with the throwing
arm.
AS the arm deScends on the swing
tho thrower pivots on the left foot
drivin~ forward across the circle
and alighting on both feet. A drive
Is thcn made M on the right leg
the shoulders are ierked around and
a vigorous swing is given to the
";"ht Hrm rs the throw is made
This form gives a good, snappv de-
livery ond usually results in gaining
GOOD distance in the throws.
