MILL LEGISLATION
NOW Being URGED
Mass. Would Declare It a Sea-
Sonable Industry

Boston, Feb. % CP,--Legislation
which would classify cotton manu-
featuring as a seasonal industry, al
lowing mills to operate longer hours
during the rush periods but without
exceeding the present legal annual
average OF As hours for women en-
ployes, was urged before the COM
mittee on labor and industries at the
state house today.
Ward Theron. treasurer Of the
Merrimac Manufacturing company,
told the committee that cotton mill
men believed an amendment to the
existing statute would make 1t pos
sible for many women to come near
er earning a full years wage than
now possible because of the recur-
renee of slack periods with short
time and stoppages.
He emphasized that no change in
the hours of child labor was sought.
Mr.. Theron declared many orders
are now lost to mills because they
were unable to execute them
promptly by reason Of the legal bar
to long hours.
Mill interests in Massachusetts,
have consistently attacked the law
governing women's working hours
as one reason for the present depres-
sion in the textile business. Heavy
local taxation is the second primary
cause of the slump, they have as
serted. and have sought to explain
the tendency to move business to the
south by the alleged freedom from
both burdens there.
This amendment" said Mr..
/ Theron, will not affect any woman
| who is fortunate enough to be en-
| ployed where, throughout the whole
year, there is uninterrupted work for
! her for the full 4S hours each week.
| But her less fortunate sister, employ
| ed where periods of rush alternate
with periods of slackness, will be
! enabled in periods of rush to earn
a substantial part of what she has
not opportunity to earn in periods
| of slackness.
| Few Of our mills have been able
years On the other hand, many of
them have had irregular periods of
great activity, for all or part of their
machinery, followed by full periods
with short or actual stoppage. The
activity is due TO seasonal demand
an to hand to mouth buying, which
it is difficult to anticipate, particu-
larry in styled goods.
Nevertheless the orders must be
executed promptly or the business is
lost If, therefore, these mills were
in a position to operate more hours
at such rush periods, it would
compensate them to some extent.

cur more or less frequently through

OPERA STARS GET PAY

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-One-h half of the operate
ensemble of the Prussian state operas
at Berlin is walking the streets with
little to do. However. the pay checks
continue to come regularly.
This unusual situation is due to the
fact that the historic opera house
Unter den Linden, which has been
under reconstruction for more than a
year, will not be completed before the
middle of February.
Meanwhile the state has gone ahead
with it's plans for two first-class
operas at the capital in addition to the
Civic Operta and engaged two general
musical directors, Erich Xleiber and
Otto Klemperer, and two full casts.
All this was done on the assumption
that the Inter den Linden would be
completed by this Fall Instead, only

Reichstag, Is functioning, with Klein.

The cast of the former royal opera
house Unter den Linden has no outlet

casional performance in the state
theater. Here, however, the arrange.

When the Unter den Linden is
finally completed it will have what
promises to be the most modern oper-
attic stage in Europe. The stage pro.
perties, too, will for the most part be

"Tannhaeuser." and "Parsifal," for all
of which the Kroll stage is poorly

PRESIDENT IS
UNDECIDED 0 N
EXTRA SESSION

WASHINGTON Sept. 13 (P-Unless
convinced by further investigation
that special session of the new con-
gress this fall is necessary, President
Coolidge will adhere to his original
decision against calling one. !.
This was stated officially today at
the White House after the president
had presided at the first cabinet meet
ing held since before his departure
for the Black Hills of South Dakota,
exactly three months ago.
Views, both direct and indirect,
which Mr. Coolidge has obtained since
his return to Washington have been
rather against calling special session
either of the congress as a whole, or
of the senate separately in an effort
to dispose of the Smith and Ware con-
troverSed senatorial election cases.
Mr.. Coolidge has conferred with
Senator Curtis, OF Kansas, and Rep
reSentative Tilson, of Connecticut, re-
publican leaders of the senate and
house, who advised against any special
session, and si will take up the ques-
ton with number of other senators
and representatives before reaching a
final conclusion
Those opposing special session of
congress hold that little. could be
gained by calling congress to Wash
ington before December since none of
the major measures which are to be
considered have. been tentatively
shaped. tt l
AS to special session of the senate
some republican leaders oppose it be-
cause they do not believe it would be
possible to maintain quorum steadily
or to bring to Washington full
membership for any decisive vote on
either the Smith case or the Ware
case.
