FRENCH TO ANSWER
U.S.LEW PROTEST
Reply to American Note
Against Tariff Is Ex-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 12.-The French
governments reply to the American
embassy's representations regarding
the new high tariff affecting certain
categories of American imports into
France is expected tomorrow night.
The foreign office has given no indi
cation of the tenor of the response, but
it is expected that it will be concilia.
tory and will contain some construc'
tive suggestions as to how American
goods may enjoy as good treatment as
German goods, pending negotiation OF
a commercial agreement.
The American embassy last week
asked that the rates applied to Ameri-
can imports into France be identical
with those given to Germany under
the Franco-German Commercial ar
rangement, which became effective
September 6.
The French government has always
disputed the contention of Washing.
ton that America ought to have the
same customs charges as countries
having reciprocity treaties with
France.
Concessions were made by France in
favor of American goods in 1910 and
again in 1921, but these are no long
er fully applicable to American goods
in the present tariff, which was pro.
mulgated by governmental decree un-
der general authority from Parlia-
men.. The new tariff became effective
last Tuesday. h

NEW YORK, September 12.-The
price of cotton dropped 81 bale on
the New York Cotton Exchange today,
increasing to $13 per bale the net de-
cline from the high level reached last
Thursday upon publication of the
Government crop report.
The reaction was attributed to heavy
liquidation prompted by a marked Inn
provement in the weather, which many
believe may result in recovery to
the crop similar to that of a year
ago. The selling movement disclosed
a weak technical position resulting
from the recent heavy buying and
the decline served to undermine con.

bosses to terms; Passaic strike in
which hundreds of dollars were col

sent; international Labor Defense for
which money is collected, prisoners
adopted, and taken care of; every de-
monstration that has been arranged
by the I. L. D. the women have par
ticipated in; cloak makers strike,
money was collected and propaganda
for the strike carried on, financial
support for various workers papers
such as the Ukrainian Daily News,
Vilnis, Russian workers papers,

Workers Realize Betray-

ex a worksr Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. - A year ago
the workers celebrated their victory
over the International Tailoring Co.,
and were told that this settlement
was the best which could ever be
reached for the tailors. During the
past year the workers have realized
their betrayal in this settlement,
while the International has been re-
ducing their wages time and time
again.
Shop Committee Complains.
A shop committee recently appear
ed before the local executive board,
with a complaint against the demand
for another reduction in wages based
on a new scheme, that the firm is
taking a cheap grade of work, and
is therefore compelled to demand a
twelve and half per cent reduction
on the garments. The committee
stated that the cheap grade of work
is only a scheme to exploit the work
ers, because under piece work there
is not question of cheap make, as
the foreman who is in charge of the
garments, does not accept any botch
work, but demands the best quality
of work Of the tailors. The committee
therefore demanded protection by the
union against the new wage cut.
The executive board after a brief
discussion, have decided for the good
and welfare" on the workers, and this
matter was referred to the manager
for his adjustment.
Some of the naive tailors really
believe that Manager Beckerman Of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
will stop reductions, while he col
laborates with the employers against
the members of the union.
