TEXTILE MILLS

'PAWTUCKET, r. l., March 81
All three shifts of the Penikees Silk
Mills, Valley Falls, suspended opera
tons yesterday, and will not resume
till Monday. 1t is believed that this
will take place weekly due to the
slackening demand for silk. Three
hundred workers are affected.
The shutdown in these mills con-
tradicts definitely the recent state
ment made by a prominent cotton
mill owner in South Carolina. He
stated that the reason for a similar
curtailment of production in large
number of southern cotton mills, was
because consumers demanded silk
instead Of cotton.

WORKERS FACING
POWERFUL LOBBY,
SPIES IN CONN,
Organized Bosses Have
"War Chest"
By HARVEY O'CONNOR
Federated Press).

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 81. =
Connecticut's bosses organized. They
tossed millions into the war chest to
fight labor. Today in every basic in
dustry Of the Nutmeg State they rule
supreme.
The Manufacturers Association
claims the credit for the victory over
trade unionism. Organized in 1910,
it has banded together 800 plants en-
Ploying 225,000 workers. Represent
ing an investment Of $692,000,000
members of the association and the
bankers work hand in hand in strikes.
The War Chest.
At the heart of the manufacturers
success is the mysterious war chest,
little known and less discussed. To
this, members subscribed generously
in postwar days when labor was
challenging them for control of work
ors' jobs and pay, One by one, the
unions were defeated as they fought
for life in the huge factories that dot
the Long Island shore and spur off
the tracks of the New Haven railroad.
Typewriters, printing machinery,
rubber tires, brass and bronze prod
ucts, metal working machinery, ball
and roller bearing machines and ma
chine tools lead the states industries,
but in no case has labor been granted
the right which employers assumed
that of organizing. The New Haven
railroad, known as the nations
premier junk pile, whose wrecks fill
newspaper columns, believes resolute-
ly in the open shop for its shops and
right of way.
Governor Is Owned.
Connecticut's workers, denied every
T chance to organize themselves, are
organized when necessary by the en-
ployers. For this, detective agencies
get fancy sums for installing model
company unions and elaborate espio-
mage devices.
The Manufacturers Association by
no means limits itself to the active
struggle on the industrial field
against labor. 1t lobbies, expertly, at
Hartford and Washington. It's agents
own Gov. Trumbull, Rep. Tilson, re-
publican floor leader in the house Of
representatives, and Sen. Mclean.

SECOND BOOTLEG
MILK RING found
Four Arrested in New
Investigation

Immediately upon the heels of the
plea of guilty of Harry Danziger,
confessed leader of the Queens boot
leg milk ring, another alleged milk
ring has been uncovered by Health
Commissioner Harris. The men I'M
der arrest charged with suspicion of
attempted extortion are Henry Fish
back, 226 East Forty-first St.; Henry
Morris, 1880 Nelson Ave, the Bronx;
Nathan Adelman, 1888 Townsend
Ave-, the Bronx, and Max Rothenberg,
attorney, 261 Broadway, all of whom
are out on $500 bail each. Their
case, which came up in magistrates
court yesterday, involves an attempt
ed 100000 bride.
1.-TWO of the witnesses have testi-
fled that when they said they could
not furnish milk to Henry Morris he
not only threatened to make raid
on their trade but made good the
threat within three days and began
to take away trade from them by the
Danziger method of I'M
derselling," Harris said.
The milk in question is not the high
er grade bottled milk but that sold
from the can to the workers Of the
city, who are thus unknowingly men
aced by impure milk supposedly in
spected by the city.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-West
Virginia coal operators today chal-
.lenged the senate investigation COM
mittee's authority to examine the pri-
vate books and records of companies.
The contention was advanced that
production of coal is not interstate
commerce and therefore the senate
has not the power to pry into the
company's private affairs.
The committee was advised of the
challenge in an executive session and
decided to permit the operators to
argue their stand at an open hearing.
1t will be brought up as soon az the
committee concludes examination of
Percy Tetlow, of Charleston, West
Va, president of District No. II of
the United Mine Workers, one of the
Lewis henchmen.
The association represents the
southern field open-shop operators of
West Virginia. They were requested
to furnish labor costs, selling prices
and production costs of their coal. To
prevent this information going into
the record, they decided to test the
committees powers.
The Operators Program.
In his testimony Zetlow followed
the lead of the open-shop coal barons
when he declared that the question of
over production must be solved as the
first step in curing the industry's ills
and when he urged enactment of
to solve the workers prob
lens.
Tetlow was forced to admit that
union representative couldn't go to
Logan County because of the opera
tors resistance.
"They control law enforcement in
Logan County through employment
of deputy sheriffs more than in any
other place in the world" he said.
"They oppose the Incorporation of
the mining villages SO that the work
ers are denied the right of local self
government"

SPORTS IN BRIEF

The possible penalty faced by Tun-
ney for ignoring the demand of the
commission is place on the ineligi-
bility list in New York State. As
Tunney's boxing license has already
expired here, the severity of the po-
tential punishment is questionable.
Commissioner William Muldoon de-
elared that Tunney should fight two
titular bouts within the next six
months to keep from violating the
boxing law of this state which says
that champion should defend HE
crown every six months.
Neither Muldoon nor James Farley,
chairman of the commission, favor
another Jack Dempsey Tunney match.
The managers of Pauline and Scott
visited the commission yesterday.
Following the visit the commission
said that it has reason to believe that
a match can be arranged between the
two fighters on May IL for the bene-
fit of the Bronx Hospital fund. The
commission said that the papers for
the match would probably be signed
by Friday.
