Textile Workers in
Lowell Get Ten Per
Cent Cut in Wages

LOWELL, Mass, (FP) Nov. e.
Removal of over a third of it's spindles
and looms to the south is the plan of
Appleton Co., cotton textile factory.
Stockholders voted authority for the
directors spending S780,000 to move
10000 spindles and 900 looms to An
derson, S. C. The Lowell plant will
have $4,000 spindles and 1900 looms
left, which may be scrapped, if local
tax authorities do not reduce the
machinery rate.
10 per cent Wage Slash.
Coincident with. Appleton's action
comes the announcement of 10 per
cent wage cuts for workers at the
Lowell branch of Pepperell Mfg. Co.
The 1400 employees of Massachu-
sets Cotton Mills, owned by Pepperell
of Maine, are affected. Pepperell
broke the union at its Biddeford, Me-,
plant which specializes in sheetings.
The Lowell branch states that it will
try to increase hours of work $50 as
to bring the amount of weekly pay on
the new time schedule about to the
present figure"
Pepperell is protesting the tax rate,
with Ipswich Mills, Velvidere Wooden
Co., Aver Co., Sterling Mills, and
others. Nashua Mfg. Co. paid under
protest, but Merrimack Mfg. Co.,
Lowells most prosperous mill at pres
ent, paid it's $146,773 with no kick.

publican chairman, and Robert l..

Marion County grand jury on Sep
TENDER 8, charging that the three men
offered former Governor Warren T.
McCray $4,000 and legal immunity if
he would name favorite of the three
as Marion County prosecutor.
Part Of the evidence against the
three is similar to that on which

LEvELAND CITY
COUNCIL REFUSES
JOBLESS HEARING
Destitute Woman's Six
Children Taken Away

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 2. The
Cleveland city council in desperate
effort to evade taking a definite stand
on the question of relief for the thou
sands of workers out of a job here,
referred a letter from the Cleveland
Unemployed Council to the Welfare
Committee, and refused the floor to
the unemployed committee. In view
Of the fact that elections are only a
week away members of the Council
are IN a panic over the prospect Of
having to openly commit themselves.
The committee from the Unem-
ployed Council was accompanied to
the City Hall by over 500 workers de-
termined to convince the city council
that there is unemployment in Cleve-
land and that relief must be forth
coming without delay.
Marshall, the President of the
Council, at first denied that a letter
from the Unemployed Council had
been received went to the Public
Square where a meeting was held and
the refusal Of the City Council to act
was denounced. A mass meeting on
the Public Square was called.
In the meantime pitiful stories of
want and suffering continue to pour
into the headquarters of the Unem-
ployed Council. One mother reported
that the Associated Charities had TAX
en- her six children away from her
when she was no longer able to sup
port them and have refused to let her
see them or even reveal where they
have been placed. One of them was a
child of three months, still nursing at
its mothers breast.
Another woman, the mother of eight
children, appealed to the Community
Fund when both she and her husband
lost their jobs, The Community Fund,
thru charitable organization sup
ported by it, gave the women few
pounds of flour, potatoes, etc. They
refused, however, to grant her request
for milk for her babies. When she
begged them for work she was finally
given a job scrubbing the floor at the
organization headquarters. After sew
eral hours work when she asked for
her pay she was told that she had
earned $3.50, but as she had been
given food the $150 would be applied
on the bill she owed the charity.

BIG BUSINESS IN
FIGHT FOR LOWER
TAX
Railroad Magnates Ask
Cut at House Hearing
By WILLIAM S. NEAL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. - Spokes-
man for the nations railroads today
joined in the fight of organized big
business to force S400,000,000 tax
cut in the coming congress.
c. S. Duncan, representing the as
ISOLATION Of Railway Executives,
asked a flat cut in the corporation in
come tax rate from 13 and one half to
10 per cent in the hearing before the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Representatives of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association,
National Coal Association and the Illi-
nois Chamber of Commerce, joined in
the big business chorus for a cut in
the corporation tax.
Secretary Mellon has told you that
in 1924 all corporations reporting net
income had such a burden of taxes
that for every dollar paid in dividends
81 ents were paid in taxes" said Dun
can. (Secretary Mellon is not only
heavily interested in Pittsburgh bank
ing, but heads the Aluminium Trust
Coz
The annual tax bill of class 1 rail-
roads, local, state and federal, is
1888, 100000 a year, he said. The
railroads would gain 28,500,OO0 a
year if the corporation tax rate were
cut to 10 per cent, he said.
Harry L. Candy, secretary of the
National Coal Association, ignored the
proposed abolition of the automobile
and nuisance" taxes in pleading fol
a lower corporation rate.

Employers United
in Drive Against
Child Labor Laws
(By Federated Press.)

Organized labor is called upon to
fight the Subtle if not brutal attack
on existing protective child labor reg
ulation laws and the public school sys-
tenn" which the National Association
of Manufacturers has launched. New
York City's central trade and labor
council, through it's education COM
mittee, appeals to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to combat "this re-
dictionary program which menaces the
gains labor and socially-minded per-
sons have won for children"
The N. A. NJ. issued its challenge
in the form of report by its educa-
ton committee before beginning it's
Chattanooga convention.
Youngest Can't Compete.
Under pretenses of standardizing
the regulations for child labor, the
manufacturers organization aggres-
slvely proposes to lower the age and
schooling limits at which children may
go to work. It wants longer work
day, beginning Z a. m. and lasting
any time till p. m. 1t asserts it
will fight against further protective
laws and seek to annul or make mop
erative present laws conflicting with
it's aims.
Contrary to the rest of the country,
where the great proportion of child
workers are in agriculture, Massa-
chusetts' youthful workers are chiefly
in manufacturing. Two-fifths of the
bay states child workers are in tex
tile mills as doffers, sweepers, oilers,
wire boys and girls, weavers and
bobbin boys, the Massachusetts Child
Labor Committee reports. Another
large group of 1915 year Odds is en-
ployed in the shoe factories as help
ers on mailing machines and stitchers
of simple seams.
"The younger children do not stand
up well in the competition of the mar
ket place with older children" states
Hexter's report.
The Investigator says this is caus-
ing employers to hire fower Of the
youngest workers, who go from job
to job more readily than the older
ones.

Andy Mellon Sheds
Tears for Bankers

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. (FP).-
Pity the poor stockholders, and reduce
the federal income tax on corpora
tions, urged Secretary Andy Mellon
at the opening session of the House
committee on ways and means, Oct.
81.
Mellon made a long statement of
program. He asked that corporation
taxes be reduced from Is and one-half
per cent to II per cent, thereby hand
ing over to business corporations some
S135, 100000 in the next fiscal year.
He argued that there Estimated to
be" 100000 individual stockholders
in the United States, and that the
group of persons whose individual tax
is as high as 13 and one half per cent
is only 5000. About one-third of the
S5,1S9,000 paid out in cash dividends
in 1926, Mellon said, went to sources
other than individuals making income
taxi returns" He admitted that a
large part of it went to other corpora
lions, but he insinuated that widows
and orphans were getting a large part
Of these dividends. Hence, all stock
holders, including corporations that
own the stock of other corporations,
must be given a reduction in their tax
on corporation earnings.
Help the Poor Bankers.
Mellon pleaded also for abolition Of
the federal estates tax, has in
past years. The fear tn, die
and leave large part tate

to the mind of the Secretary of the
Treasury. The treasury is now col
lecting only $7,OOOOOO a year from
this source, but he feels that that is
too much, and the precedent is danger

Tax Revision, Not Cut.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Chester
H. Gray, Washington representative
of the conservative American Farm
Bureau Federation, presented the
fiscal program of his organization to
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee on Nov. l.. He asked that a re-
duction of S1,000,O0O be made in the
national debt before any tax-cutting
should be undertaken.
Interest on the public debt, in 1925,
he reminded the lawmakers, amount
ed to $882,000,000. Reduction of this
burden on the treasury would, in his
view, be the best sort of foundation
for later reduction of direct taxes.
On the other hand, the proposed tax
reduction amounting to 1925, 100000
or S250,00O,000 would be of little con-
sequence, since it would be only
about 81 per capita. Anyhow, Gray
argued, American business is not
being overburdened by taxes.
He reported that the Farm Bureau
Federation favors collection of at
least 70 per cent of federal income
from sources having ability to pay,
as measured by net income made"
Only 20 per cent, he said, should be
taken in taxes from those who are
under necessity to consume" He did
not explain why this rs per cent
should be so taken, rather than that
all taxes should be collected from
those having net income available.
Gray testified that the farmers are
strongly opposed to any repeal or
further weakening of the federal es-
tates tax. Secretary Mellon had
urged the repeal of death duties, but
the committee had not shown any
especial interest in his statement on
that point. 1t was not considered
good politics, at this time, for either
republican or democrat from a
doubtful district to show any ten
dency to vote for repeal of the in
heritance tax.

Corn and Cotton"
Meeting AsSaiIS
Coolidge Policy

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2.-"Presi-
dent Coolidge's veto of the farm re-
lief bill was the browning act of dis
regard of party pledges" said Gov.
Adam McMullen of Nebraska here to-
day at the climax of bitter session
of representatives Of farm organiza-
tions in several states, business men
of rural districts and middle western
politicians.
Resolutions in more moderate Ian
guage were adopted, criticizing Cool
idge for his veto of the McNary-
Haugen farm relief" bill.
Down on Borah.
United States Senator Borah was
termed an obstructionist in these
resolutions and the present national
administration was charged with re-
sponsibility for failure to secure sat
isfactory agricultural legislation.
The so-called Conference of the
Corn and Cotton Belt" has taken on
the aspect of a caucus by mutineers
against the administration.
There was overwhelming enthusi-
asm when it came to exposing the
anti-farm attitude of Coolidge. SEN
ator Capper of Kansas, a republican,
deprecated the inconsistency of a
government which subsidies manu-
featuring interests with a tariff and
regulates prices on railroads and
money, but which claims it cannot
legally fix farm products prices.
LOwden Boring In.
Former Gov. Geo. w. Donaghey OF
Arkansas added his word.
The real battle in the farm con-
ference" is not over the question Of
whether Coolidge should be damned
but whether Lowden, the Illinois
banker, involved in the campaign ex-
penditure scandal of 1920, should be
endorsed. Lowden has managed to
avoid actively endorsing Coolidge's
veto, has in fact mildly criticized it.
and is keeping his eastern banking
connections quiet. Donaghey and Nc
Mullen are for Lowden.
Senator Norbeck of South Dakota
has recently endorsed Lowden. But
Senators Nye and Frazier of North
Dakota are vigorously opposed, and
are sure to drag up the corpse of
1920, The insurgents" are united
against Coolidge, but split on every
other point.
