WEAvERS STRIKE
IN z MORE FALL
RIVER FACTORIES
See Wage Cut Defeated
by Workers Action

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. ST.
The walking out of two more mills
marked the day on which the 10 per
cent wage became effective. In ad-
di,ion to the Arkwright and Stevens
Mills, which were struck several days
ago, the No. Davis Mill and the
Davol plant were shut down, when
the workers pacNed their tools and
lett the looms at noon Monday.
In spite of the fact that many of
the workers remained at work in the
o.her mills, it is almost certain thai
the wage cut will not be successfully
put into effect. Their resentment ex-
presses itself in general demand
that another strike vote be taken.
A neeting of the American Fede-
ration Of the Textile Operatives, held
yesterday, resulted in a unanimous
demand of their membership hat they
ask the Textile Council to take an
other vote. The great ma yority OF
the workers are certain that recount
will show q successful strike vote.
The ten per cent wage reduction
which reduces the income OF ABOUT
10000 textile workers almost to the
starvation poinl caused even a Catho-
lie priest, James L. Cassidy, to preach
sermon last sunday conoemnlng the
wage cuts.
at a crowded meeting held under
the auspices of the Central Labor
Union, Thomas F. McMahon, presi-
dent of the United Textile Workers
Of America, offered no better solu-
ton to the wage cut wave sweeping
New England, than to ask for a
federal investigation from the govern
ment. At the same meeting John l.,
Campos, chairman of the Central La
Dor Union, had shown to the audience
pay envelopes received by weavers
which contained their weekly wage of
from 81 to S13 week. - r.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Daniel Whit

his death from the 25th floor of the.
Mallers building here today. He
had been in i'll health since his dis
charge from the army, his widow
said. That the fall was not an ac--

apparent because it was necessary
for him to crawl over high railing
that surrounded the window from

PARENTS ATTACK
SCHOOL TRANSFER
Politicians Evade Real
Issue, Is Charge

The third meeting of the parents
Of the neighborhood schools was held
at So. 1st and Rodney Sts., Brooklyn,
last night to hear the decision of the
board Of education on their protest
to the proposed change of Public
School 30 into a Junior High School.
A committee including Capt. Fruen-
gal Of the democratic party, 18th A.
D., who is also president of the Par
ents' Association of P. s. 10, Sen.
jacobson, Assemblyman Nathanson,
Alderman Gormody, Commissioner of
Schools Lentol, and six Of the par
ents protested the transfer before the
board of education in the morning.
Gormody presented the issue as a "ra-
cial issue" claiming that there was
objection to the fact that Italian chill
dren of the North Side would mix
with Jewish children Of the South Side
and vice versa.
Igno-s Real Issue.
This is, according to parents, ridicu-
lous. The real point at issue has
been neglected. The main objection
is to the fact that, inasmuch as the
neighborhood is at the Brooklyn end
of the Williamsburg Bridge, traffic
is extremely heavy and the children
will have to make many dangerous
crossings.
Nothing definite was settled at the
interview except that DR.. Baker, Of
the board Of education, promised that
there would no longer be double

Mary Jane weighed one of the notes
in her hands. addressed to James Clai-
bourne, Esquire. Jimmie was one OF
the few people she rather liked. but he
was not invited on her account. In
fact, he always drove her into a sort
of fury, because of his invariable habit
of being nice" to unpopular girls He
danced with them, fetched them supper
and took them home, If they had been
abandoned by cruel brothers: but for
these services he received little graft
tude. Perhaps the girls sensed that he
was being nice"
Mary Jane, though she found him
amusing, couldn't help being annoyed
with his company, realizing what class
of popularity it plainly put her in.
Jimmie was rather liked by Simone
and her friends. They could rely upon
his doing his duty by visiting girl who
knew no one, and they also had an
added esteem for him, because he was
reputed to have money. A father or
uncle or some one who made adding
machines, was rumored although 1t was
all rather vague. A pleasant young
man, Jimmie Claibourne, was the gen.
eral opinion.
On the arrival of the people from
town three boys and one girl, Mary
Jane, withdrew from the scene, though
not gracefully. Indeed, she stumbled
loudly, going upstairs, and remarked:
Not this year." before continuing.

smiling up at her; "only two months

much stronger than the China product,
and the English consider it economical
to buy the stronger grade.
The tea extract consists essentially
of a solution of a bitter alkaloid called
caffeine, an astringent substance called
tannin or tannic acid. and an essential
| oil giving flavor to the brew. The caf-
feline in the dry tea leaves amounts to
2 or 3 per cent, while the tannin may
vary from 4 to 10 per cent. Caffeine
| alone tastes bitter and tannin alone is
unpleasantly astringent, yet a well
made tea has neither characteristic,
only bland, smooth quality. The ex-
PLANTATION has just come-and properly,
too-from some English investigators.
Tannin and caffeine, say these Scien-
fists, unite In the proportion OF three
to one to form caffeine tannate, COM
pound of pleasant taste and possibly
very different physiological action from
either constituent. When the infusion
contains more than enough tannin to
unite with caffeine-that is, more than
three times as much tannin as caf-
feine-the aStringent taste becomes eVi-
dent. On the other hand, If there is
more than one-third as much caffeine
as tannin the drink becomes slightly
bitter.
Their conclusion. then. is that an
ideal infusion contains just three times
as much tannin as caffeine-exactly
the right proportion to form caffeine
tannate. If this balance cannot be
found the second choice is a tea con-
tanning a slight excess of caffeine. Such
are the China teas This conception
throws light on the making of blends"
| If tea little too rich in tannin be
mixed with one a little too rich in caf-
feline a perfect tea may result. yielding
an infusion with the proportion Of
tannin to caffeine as three to one. The
professional blenders themselves do not
know why they secure their results and
are guided only by ~ sense Of taste.

Surely our forefathers or mothers

enough for this same knowledge to be
deep enough. Pepys, in his diary OF

For a thousand years or SO before that
date the Chinese had selfishly enjoyed
the beverage at home. However, the
Orient is now more than willing to
share that pleasure with us. The
Russians, English and AmericanS-an-
nually buy more than 10000 900 pounds
from the Orient.
