FEARS NEW UNREST
IN TEXTILE MILLS
Sloan BIames Few Owners
Who Refuse to Stop Labor
Evils.

Apprehension that the constructive
corporation now prevailing in the
textile industry may shortly be brought
to an end If a few miles continue to
carry out uneconomic and unsocial
policies, was expressed yesterday by
George A. Sloan, president of the Cot
ton-Textile Institute, in letter to
Walter S. Clifford. director of the
Presidents Organization on Unemploy-
ment Relief.
Recommendations Ignored.
Mr.. Sloan informed the national re-
lief official these mills have ignored
recommendations to shorten the work
week and eliminate night work for
women and minors. The short work
week has been widely adopted, he de-
clared, while "a per cent of the in
dustry is not employing women and
minors on shifts.
you can well appreciate the feeling
that such action arouses in some mill
centerS where the workers have meager
employment or no work at all, he as
serted.
Moreover" he added, "thiS practice
of excessive operation is leading to un-
rest and discouragement on the part
Of the more enlightened mill executives,
who have been striving to promote the
industry'S welfare, to stabilize en-
ployment, and thus to minimize dis
treSS.
Scores Policy of Few.
"If a few mills persist in practicing
uneconomic and unsocial policies (there-
bv preventing the much desired spread
of employment) this type of destruc-
tive leadership undoubtedly will be fol-
lowed by others with the inevitable
recurrence of the peaks of overproduc-
ton and the valleys of unemployment
that have made cotton textile condi-
tions in this respect so difficult In years
gone by"

hailed from the Cass Lake region.
Windib was persuaded by School
craft to return as a guide, for ne

The f1otilla of canoes, each carry
ing an American flag, left Fond

bartering of tools, cts, for skins
and furs.
Schoolcraft, determined to find
and report the source of the Mis-
sissippi, told of his plans before an
Indian council. Maps were request
ed. Windib furnished them, to-
gether with suitable canoes and
guides. 2,
At 800 A. M, July II, a party
of sixteen picked whites and In
dams embarked from Cass lake
on the trip which was destined to
satisfy Schoolcraft's hunger of geo
graphical knowledge. After fight
ing numerous whitewater rapids
the party reached Lake Bemidji,
then called Lake Traverse. Here
they found log cabin, used as a
winter trading camp. It was then
the most advanced trading post on
the main waters of the Mississippi.
After a few hours padding the
party reached the junction of the
Mississippi's forks. After brief
consultation and on the recommeu-
dalton of Windib, the party started
down the left fork now known as
Schoolcraft river. Through treach-
erous rapids and tangled under
brush, the party padded and port
aged. They passed through many
lakes and down scores of small
streams. Finally, there came q
portage of six miles. Of this last
portage, Schoolcraft noted in his
book, Discovery River" one Of

owned by the University of Min

valley before returning to Sault ste.
Marie.
In the spring of 1882, Gilbert Her
ring of the war department in
structed Schoolcraft to return to
Minnesota. While School craft was
traipsing up and down the ST. Croix
and Mississippi valleys Congress
had adopted bill providing yacci-
nation of Indians for smallpox.
This was one reason for the second
expedition, others being the contin-
uance of peace negotiations be-
tween warning tribes.
Schoolcraft, still thirsty for know
ledge of the Mississippi's true
source, organized Immediately. He
had observed the mouth of the
great river years before. He wanted
to see the source. He became the
first white man to see both and re-
port his accomplishment.
On June Z, 1882, the second
Schoolcraft expedition left Sault
Ste. Marie in canoes and two large
Mackinack boats. There were 80
men in the party. To administer
the smallpox vaccine to the Indians
the war department sent DR.. Doug
lass Houghton with the expedition.
The leader also felt that a mission
airy might help on the good will
trip, so the American Board of
Missions sent Rev. w. T. Boutwell,
along. A detachment of troops
from the Fifth U. S. Infantry under
command of Lieutenant James AL
len, completed the encourage. Lieu
tenant Allen was an expert topo-
grapher and draughtsman.
Fifteen days later the party had
crossed Lake Superior at La Pointe,
several miles east of Superior, Wis
This place was noted as trading
station. Here the party spent a
few days gossiping with the trad
ers and Indians. Schoolcraft was
presented with a peace pipe as
evidence of the Indians friendship
Meanwhile, DR.. Houghton unloaded
a quantity of vaccine. They had TO
hold the young bucks on their
backs to administer it.
Schoolcraft ran into luck at
the mouth of the Brule river. His
luck came in the form of a Chip
