BLAINE LEADS WAR
ON COTTON DUTIES
Wisconsin Senator Opposes
Plan for Higher Schedule
on Manufactures.

=
Hopeful of completing work on the
cotton manufacturers schedule before
nightfall./ the Senate resumed its con-
sideration of the subject today with
Senator Blaine Republican, of Wiscpn-
sin, voicing opposition to those advo-
eating higher import duties on such
articles.
He asserted those seeking such In
creases had failed to make a case
either from the standpoint of labor
or industry" and said cotton manufac-
turers we're seeking to construct tariff
wall behind which they would form
combinations of monopolies through
mergers Of the various industries"
Senator's Comment.
"There has been no earnest or intel
ligent effort to improve either condi-
lions of the workingman or them
selves" he said. They are and have
been a crowd of grasping combinations
and individuals. They enjoy all the
luxuries of life, but the men and women
in their industries are the ones in
distress"
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa-
chuSettS, said that wlile certain
porous, he could show the Wisconsin
Senator where cotton mills had been
closed. others operated only part time,
and still more In bankruptcy.
Walsh said he intended to vote
against many proposed increases in cot
ton textile duties, but was convinced
that a very serious depression" existed
in certain branches to which higher
tariffs would be a contributing aid in
restoring prosperity.
Complains Of Mills.
Senator Wheeler Democrat, Montana,
complained again of conditions in the
Southern mills where, he said, women
and children were being worked day
and night.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, of
North Carolina, said it was true that
mills were being operated day and night
in the South. but these were a very
limited number.
Answering Wheeler's arguments that
some workers we're paid as low as $40
a week for so hours, Simmons said
wages in dollars and cents were not
as high in the South as in New Eng
land, but considering the cheaper liv-
ing conditions in his section the wages
we're about the same in proportion to
those in New England.
