RED MENACE IS NOT
DEAD, SAYS Wright


There are those why say, "Why
worry about the reds; they are dead. "
And they let it 60 at that and the
reds go merfiIy on. It is true, Of
course, that America is not in danger
Of being captured by the reds. The
reds are but an incident in the life
Of America.
But it is equally true that the reds
can do much damage.
Everything they do is damaging.
Why allow damage?
The reds have been battling for
big stakes in the convention Of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers, Union. In that convention--still
going on as this is written-there
was a block Of lot votes for every
red proposition.
The red program was to filibuster
the convention along so as to drive
home the opposition, or administers
ton delegates, leaving the lot red
votes in control.
The reds knew they could finance
their delegates as long IS they stood
to gain control and they felt that
the anti-red delegates would be
starved out.
But when the reds can hold lot
delegates in line in any international
union convention, the reds need at
sention.
Then there is another event worth
thinking about.
There has just been a banquet in
New York City from which Amefi-
can newspapsrmen were excluded,
but which Russian newspapers were
able to get the news. 2
At this banquet American bankers
were entertained by the representa-
tives Of the soviet regime.
Among the powerful American re-
representatives. at that banquet was
the vice-president of the Chase Ma
tional Bank.
Russian adventurers and American
financiers tossed bouquets at. each
other.
Is American finance beginning to
thirst for Russian concessions? Shall
we soon witness the spectacle Of Ann
erican finance pressing at the doros
Of the state department asking recog-
milton Of the soviets?
The red menace is something to
think about. It is NOT dead.
And let it be remembered always
that the soviets have proclaimed time
and time again that their first OBJ
jective in America must be the cap
ture of the trade union movement.

''L0AG DAY. IS
textile BARON Plea


Again TIE textile industry q New
England comes with a plea for spe-
cial privilege. This tine the indus
try threatens to move ita mills from
New England unless the 48-houf work
law Is repealed 50 that women can
work 54-hour week. Last summer
a number Of textile mills declared
10 per cent wage cut vas necessary
to continued production. 81
The plea is based upon figures
showing the trend Of the industry to
the south and the lower working STAN
dards that prevail IN southern states.
The plea assumes that long hours and
Low wages bring low labor costs. In
addition, the south has much child
labor. No industrial management
worthy Of the name would accept
these assumptions without produc-
ton data showing relative production
costs. Experience has demonstrated
that high wage America has realized
greater production economies than
arg other country e
The 48-hour week and a. A1n5ft IA
wage are necessary to American
standards Of life and efficient pro-
duction. New England was the birth
place Of American textile nanufac-
turing, but it has failed to keep pace
with technical progress. AS the pres
ident Of the United Textile Workers
points out tin reply to the operators
plea, New England textile mills house
antiquated machinery. This means
low efficiency and output. Even long
hours win not counterbalance anti
quated machinery and methods.
No management has the right 70
unload tits inefficieney upon tits en-
pl0yes and the community. Although
the service is not often appreciated at
the time, the union nevertheless il the
main force in resisting such policies
that would lead inevitably to ma
terial and social decline.
New England can not afford to
grant special privilege to the textile
industry. It is now facing the prob
lem Of thinking through the causes
Of its industrial decline. TO reverse
present trends means . matching Of
brains and efficiency against the pro
blems Of industry 50 that the fntnre
may be based upon 3 foundation that

ture.

PERJURY FOUND IN HUSBANDS DIVORCE
Court Rules for Wife Who Was
 Victim of DupHcity

Judge Marvin In the superior court yesterday, finding that Leon ard Dombrowski of this city had obtained a divorce from his wife Eva Dombrowski on February IS, 1921, through perjured testimony and had afterwards married Vic toria Tieslowskl. set aside the de- cree thereby nullifying the second marriage and making Dombrowski and his first wife man and wife again. Judge Marvin found that Dombrowski's testimony that his wife had deserted him, was false.
 In his divorce action brought by him July 20, 1920, Dombrowski falsely stated that he did not know the whereabouts of his wife. He served notice upon her by publica- ton and fasifed statements as to the circumstances of her leaving him. Judge Marvin stated that he had obtained his divorce on this periured testimony and said there was not the slightest question of it, If ever a. decree of divorce should be set aside for fraud, tt seems to the court that this should be- stated Judge Marvin.
