FRANKLIN VET0ES
ALL WAGE CUTS

New York City (ILNS)-'I have
not reduced wages nor salaries and
do not intend to-" That was the terse
answer of H.. H. Franklin, of the
Franklin Automobile Company, wir-
ed to Printers Ink in response to a
wire from Printers Ink asking his
position. Corporations rather than
employees should bear the burden of
temporary slowness in business" said
Franklin's wire. Recovery will be
quicker and net results much better =
Printers Ink says that in addition
to the Chrysler salary cut there have
been many concealed cuts" in the
motor industry. "A common prac-
tice has been to pay only five days
salary for the short week" the maga-
zine says editorially THE ten-day
shutdown at the Ford plant cost
each employe almost $50 for his en-
forced vacation"
But the magazine, after careful
checking up, adds, Generally speak
ing, no general rush to cut salaries or
wages has followed the Chrysler an
nouncement"

dustry We are anxious to achieve a
full measure of organization, either
in cooperation with the legitimate
or by means of a general
trike. We shall ask the employers
organization to confer with US on the
renewal of the agreements expiring
August |, and cooperate with us in
our efforts to drive out the sweat
shops with their cut-throat competi-
ton, low wages and all-around de-
grading conditions. Should we fail to
reach an understanding with these
employers, their workers will be
called out on strike"

ASKS TEN THOUSAND
FOR FALSE ARREST

New Orleans ILNS)-C Claiming to
have been falsely arrested and i'm
prisoned for violating a federal in
junction during the street car strike
last year, Harold B. White, Of this
city, has brought suit to recover
$4,000 damages from the New
Orleans Public Service, Inc
White says he was repairing his
automobile in the garage adjoining
his home on July 30 when four to six
men came upon his premises and ex
amined the electric meter. He said
the men were not in uniform and had
no credentials to show that they were
meter readers and he protested. They
entered the house over his protest,
according to the petition. Shortly
afterward, White said, he was arrest
ed for violating the federal injunc-
ton.
When tried before Judge w. G..
Borah, White says, he was acquitted
after he had explained his reasons for
refusing to let the men enter his
home. He charges that the arrest
was malicious and without probable
cause.

HUGE OIL PROFITS
MAKE NEW RECORD

New York.-Profits of leading oil
companies in the Standard Oil group,
during the eight-year period from
1921 to 1929, stagger the imagination.
These concerns are now striving to
unite and limit output that further
profits may be assured.
Dividend payments to stockholders
of these concerns in the eight years
totaled $1,157,00O, 900, while surplus
increased more than $20,000,000.
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey is leader in these remarkable
profits. During the eight years this
concern issued 1922, 100000 in cash
dividends and $393,OOo,oo0 in stock
dividends.

COTTON INDUSTRY
Must Junk Spindles to Live,
Says College Leader

Philadelphia.-The junking of cot
ton spindles must continue for four
or five years if the industry's equip
ment is brought down to the point
at which output will equal demand
said Prof George S. Mitchell, Of
Columbia University, in an address at
Bryn Mawr College before a confer
ence on the A. f. of l.. Southern or
ganiZation drive.
Prof. Mitchell said government ac-
tion is less effective than cooperation
between the various factors in an in
dustry He classed as unsuccessful"
and perhaps dangerous" the federal
farm boards attempt to stabilize
prices by buying crop surpluses.
1t may be dangerous because the
board will not be in position to hold
the surplus, but finally will have to
dump it, perhaps with disastrous re-
suits" he said.
"The world demand for American
cotton is diminishing" declared the
speaker. "The federal authorities
will have to provide a we'll planned
system of public works to care for
those who will be thrown out of en-
ployment when the cotton plantations
are turned to other uses"
Thomas +. Mcmahon, president
United Textile Workers, said labor's
activity in the South the past six
months has demonstrated that this
organizing movement is not sporadic.
"The union," he said, agrees on
the need for curtailment of produc-
ton, but the best way to achieve this
is through conference with employees"
Edward F. McGrady, legislative
representative A. F. of L., insisted
that the first need in the South is not
curtailment of production but an in
crease in the purchasing power of
Southern workers and an abandon
ment of pauper wage standards.
'An increase in wages in the South
will have a greater influence upon ma
tional prosperity than anything else, =
he said
