R. |. mill BARONS
FOLLOW CLOSING
WITH 81 HR. week
Union Officials Only
Pass Resolution"

PAWTUCKET, r. l., Feb. 21.-
The concerted attack against the tex
tile workers living standards by the
mill owners is by no means ended.
This is shown by the announcement
yesterday of the owners of the Ions
dale Mills that they intend to reopen
their plants on changed working
schedule increasing the hours of work
from 48 to 81 at the same rate Of
pay.
The plants of this company have
been shut down for three weeks, due
to chad business" according to the
employers. The workers here, how
ever, declare that they easily see thru
the hypocrisy of this move. The shut
down was made as a maneuver to
make the workers more tractable,
they say. AS proof of their conten-
ton, they ask, that if lack of orders
necessitated a shut down, where did
the mill owners suddenly get suf-
ficient work to make up in 54-hour
week?
The workers, comprising goodly
part of the population of the village
of Lonsdale, have not as yet returned
! to work. Their resentment to the
hour increase is added to by the ac-
ton of their union officials, who are
doing nothing to combat the lowering
of their living standards.
In the face of this attack on the
workers the officials of the Rhode
Island Textile Council of the United
Textile Workers of America, at their
monthly meeting yesterday took cog
nizance of the mill owners action by
passing a resolution which stated that
they were opposed to the hour in
crease.

BIC BANKS REAP
HUGE PROFITS
NJ or g an, Rockefeller
Work Hand in Hand

The $10,000,000 in cash dividends
paid annually by the First National
Bank of New York is symbolic of the
regular tribute collected by the lords
of credit for governing the country's
economic life. This $10,0O0,000 is ex-
actly 100 per cent on the investment
Of the owners associated with the J.
P. Morgan financial oligarchy. 1t
brings the dividends distributed in
cash since the bank started with
100000 capital in 1863 to the huge
total of $159, 100000.
More Than 1000 Profits.
This is typical of the return which
the great money lenders are getting
on their capital although most of the
big New York banks have gone
through various changes in their fl
nancial structure which conceal the
true rate of return on the money
originally put into them by their own
ers. In spite of this there are four
among the New York banks and trust
companies with 1927 profits in excess
of 100 per cent on their capital stock
while II made profits of more than
40 per cent.
The u. S. Trust Co. leads the pro-
cession with 1927 profit of $162.59
on each 500 invested in its capital
stock. First National, captained by
Morgan's right hand man, George F.
Baker, is second with profit of
$153.5O on each 500 of capital stock.
Kings County Trust follows with
S1321d and Fifth Avenue National
with S105.23 on each $500.
Morgan Rockefeller Collaborate.
There is constantly increasing unity
of interest between the Morgan and
Rockefeller groups with representa-
tives of both sitting on the director
ates of many of the commercial banks.
Each year sees consultations. The
Chase National and American Ex-
change Irving Trust have grown to
their present size by such mergers.
Last year. Hanover National, the bank
of the Manhattan Co., the Seaboard
National and the Manufacturers Trust
absorbed smaller banks.
The tremendous value of these IN
stitutions to the big financiers is re-
| Elected in the market value of their
shares. Owners of First National
stock hold it at S3,720 a share, COM
pared with $2,76O year ago. The
market price is always just ahead Of
what buyers offer so that control al
ways remains in the same hands.

While Governor Alfred E. Smiths

"In our clinics, we find that the

declared John L. Elliott, superinten-
dent of the Hudson Guild.
The visiting nurse of the Guild re-
ports that the effects Of unemploy-

undernourished, she declares.
"More recently we have been dis
covering a considerable degree of I'M
employment in the skilled worker
class, particularly in the building
trades. Men affiliated with the Hud-
