Whereas, the cloak and dress in

ruined thru the civil war which has
existed in the union for the past ten
months and as a result we are endur-

terrible working conditions;
And whereas, this chaos is being
intensified by the continued support
of the employers to the right wing

ted by the membership;
"And Whereas, even tho the en-

Textiles Flourish
As Soviet Armenia
improves Industry
(By Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Must
the badly oppressed textile workers
of New England and southern mills
look to the Soviet Union for the only
exception to their industry's world
wide record of low wages, long hours
and unemployment The leading
article in the current Textile World,
authoritative magazine of the indus
try, in review Of cotton raising and
weaving in Soviet Armenia would
support such conclusion.
Alfred G. Smaltz, who has just re-
turned from abroad, recounts the re-
markable achievement Of the indus
try in the small Soviet republic which
lies between the Caucasus and Tur-
key. Both the raising of cotton and
its manufacture into textiles were
practically destroyed during the
world war. "But in only little over
five years since Armenia became a
part of the Soviet Union," Smaltz
writes, "they have set about to re-
habilitate their little country with so
much energy and along such sound
economic lines that they have
achieved an almost incredible amount
of reconstruction. The plan under
which the Armenian cotton industry
is being fostered reads as if it might
have been drafted by an Armenian
agricultural expert"
Soviet Armenia Flourishes.
The cultivation of cotton, Smaltz
states, almost paralyzed in 1921, was
resumed under Soviet control in 1922
with systematic distribution of high
grade seed and practical instructions.
Credit cooperatives were established,
experimental stations were opened
Mills were established to manufacture
cotton by-products.
At Leninakan the cotton is made
into textiles in modern mills where
nearly $500 unionized workers are
employed. Smaller mills are being
set up in Erivan and Karaklis.
The industry and the union have
supervised the erection of workers
quarters in the new mill towns. In
Leninakan, Erivan and Sadarabad,
Smaltz investigated these quarters
and found them to be "clean, neat and
well equipped with sanitary facilities.
More interesting STILL" he adds,
''were the signs of cultural life within
the factories. The club rooms, the
library and the theatre all indicate
that at least some of the promises of
the new regime have been fulfilled"
Eriyan will be the center of the
textile industry. A big hydro-eIectric
plant has just been opened, and sew
eral mills are being constructed there.

LEAGUE INlPERIAIISTS GLAD TO PLAY LATIN
AMERICAN COUNTRIES AGAINST WALL STREET

| "The Latin American states" de-
clared Paul Boncour, the Frenchman,

fore the council and the council viii
! be only too glad to interest itself in
the amicable settlement of these"
''The League of Nations" added Sir
/ Austen Chamberlain, Britain's for
eign minister, must become a real
ity, a personality in the eyes of the
more distant nations belonging to it."
Commerce Watches Europe.
While the state department occu-
pies itself with counteracting League
efforts to steal march in America,
the commerce department eyes jeal-
ously every move of British and other
traders and investors in American
markets. julius Klein, head of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce and Hoover's right hand man,
is in charge of these activities.
Scouting around in Europe for sew
eral months, Klein brings home the
bad news that Europe will be a more
dangerous competitor than ever in
markets to the south of us. Sure that
Europe is recovering, he warns that
the possible implications of this re-
covery in terms of more intensive
competition should not be overlooked
by American industry. Each of our
leading transatlantic rivals is MAX
ing preparations for active drives in
Latin American and Far Eastern
markets"
Wall Streets Continent.
Development of speedy transporta-
ton and communication service be-
tween Europe and South America is
a harbinger of the bitter fight to
come. The two continents will be but
a few days apart when the proposed
combination air and ship services be-
tween London, Paris and the Azores
to Brazil begins. Italy is stationing
trade promotion officers throughout
Latin America, the Germans are de-
veloping a Berlin-to-Bue Aires
radiophone service and others are
promoting governmental credit insur-
ance schemes, export subsidies, car
tells and what-not, Klein reports.
'The time for watchful, aggressive
initiative for American export is at
hand" he concludes.
Thus the paramount struggle, dip
lomatic, financial and commercial, of
the next generation may be fought
on American soil with Wall Street
aiming at nothing less than monopoly
control of the entire continent.

THE man should walk on the

2. The man sits in the seat

8. The man will find It. easier
to talk with both women IL he
does not sit between them. That
is, it is very difficult to keep
up q three-cornered conversation
when the person in the centre is
supposed to talk with people each

sit between them, he can lean
over and converse much more
easily. Otherwise, one woman Is

But later on you begin to won
der why a man who seems so
superlatively well-informed upon
nearly everything cannot manage
to handle his own affairs little
better than this one does. For
it's a. curious circumstance that
despite all the excellent advice he
gives to everybody and despite
his boosted understanding OF
nearly everything, he does not
get on very brilliantly himself.
And after you have known him
a while you speculate upon
whether this possibly might be
due to the fact that he gives SO
much time to preaching to others
that he has none left in which 10
practice what he breaches.
OF course, there are many like
him. The great Benjamin Frank.

WHY is it that the veneer Of
~ simple courtesy often chips

Eleanor Gilbert, in an article in
this weeks Liberty, In which she
asserts that bad manners are
often the cause of marital dis
cord.
In discussing the situation with
a woman, the author says she
was told: "I'll tell you the reason
why women have day-dreams
about cave men and strong sheiks.
I think all of us prefer out-and.
out savage brutality to civilized
bad manners. What does a wife
know Of her husbands business
ethics or even his private morals?
But what every wife does see is
her husbands daily behavior in
the home. And no matter how
noble his character, il he has
peculiar bad mannerisms, they
wear on his wife until she posi-.
lively hates him."

A Saturday Jamie disappeared
from the house. He was still
away when dark came that eve
ming. His mother glanced out
of the window several times to
see il she could see him coming.
Then she opened the front door
and looked anxiously down the
street. Fifteen minutes later she
came again to gaze out into the
darkness for sight of her young
son. Presently she saw him com.
ing across the street.
As soon as she knew that he
was safe her anxiety turned to
anger. For that is the way Of
mothers,
Jamie came bounding up the
steps. Then his mother, stern
and angry, laid a firm hand upon
his shoulder and pushed him into
the lighted hall.
What do you mean by stay
ing out this way, without telling
me where you were going?" she
demanded. "T was worried to
death. about you"
Much you care about me!' the
boy muttered.
''Where have you been?" she
insisted.
