To Prevent Misery

MANCHESTER, Eng, July D.
R)-Half a million cotton trade
workers struck this morning, clos
ing down 1900 mills, when employ
erS refused to recede from their in
tention to cut wages ~ IL per cent.
The strike was automatic, hav-
ing been decided upon Saturday. It
affected almost the entire Lanca-
shire cotton industry with the ex-
ception of a few plants outside the
employers federation which were
still operating.
1t was the outgrowth Of contin-
ued depression in the textile trade
which there weeks ago led to an
announcement by employers that a
II IL per cent reduction in wages
would be effective Saturday.
Nearly every city and town In
Lancashire is affected by the strike,
which is expected to cause a loss
in wages of about G1,000,00O (about
$5,QO0,000) weekly.

Of government action still could
save the day and prevent the mis-
cry and financial depression which
invariably follows British trade dis
putes. In this event the operating
spinning section probably would ask
for resumption Of negotiations on
their own account. 1t is expected
the mill owners would meet them
half way.
Among the mills remaining works
ing were those Of the Broadhursa

ploying 1000 hands, and another of'
the same firm at Bolton, employ-i

TWO DEAD;IN
PRISON RIOT
Convicts Capture Arsenal,
Burn Prison Shops,
Wound 4 Guards

AUBURN, N. Y, July 29.-(P)-
Fifty long-term convicts at Auburn
State prison yesterday led a revolt
of the 1,700 inmates, captured the
prison arsenal with its stock of ap-
proXimately so rifles and four ma
chine guns, stormed the main gates,
fired several prison shops, with an
estimated loss of $500000 and shot
four guards, one seriously.
Four convictS escaped from the
prison in the first rush, two of the
mutineers were killed by the fire
of the guards, and third was
wounded seriously.
A mere handful of guards, two
thirds Of the staff being off duty
because it was Sunday, beat back
the first attack. Then, reinforced
by the remaining guards, hastily
recalled, and by state troopers, they
held a yelling, surging mob of con-
victS at bay until the outbreak spent
its force and quiet was restored.
The four convictS who escaped
were:
George Small, cerving II years
Tor ROBBERY.
Joseph Caprice, serving 20-year
term for robbery.
Arthur Barry, serving Is years for
burglary.
Steve Paulik, robber, serving life
as fourth offender.
A checkup today showed that
with the exception of the slain con-
victs, one in a hospital and the four
who escaped, every inmate Of the
prison was in a cell, although cells
were crowded because Of the dam
age to cell block by fire.

for repeal or re-interpretation of
prohibition by congress, he said
I'VE now know that millions Of
otherwise orderly citizens are en-
gagged in constant violations Of
the letter and spirit" of the Vol

He cited corruption, bribery,
graft, hypocrisy, perjury, beer
wars, machine gun battles, de-
bauchery of minors and grow

as outstanding "by-products Of
this general evasion of statutory
regulations" and said:

hearsay testimony which comes
to his ears, and the indictment
