PEQUOT MILLS
 OF SALEM HAVE
 STRIKE ON HAND
Each Worker Ordered to Handle "A Looms In= stead of 20 - Would Make l5O Idle

Salem. Mass, May s.-UP)-. EThe approximately 2.000 operatives of the Pequot Mills, one of the country's largest sheeting manu- facturers, went on strike to-day against a proposal to make each worker handle 24 instead of 20 looms. The strike affects the main division of the mills here and the bleachery in Danvers. The pro- posed increased work per opera tive would throw 150 workers out eof employment. and mill officials said these would be married wo- men whose husbands are employed.
 Pequot Mills, one of the few 100 per cent unionized textile plants in the country, have been noted for maintaining harmonious relations with their employees. The proposed change resulting in the present walkout was to have been Considered for week before being adopted. It would involve no wage cuts. It was said the strike was not backed by union leaders but was decided by the workers them- selves.

VACCINATION OF
 CHILDREN WILL
 COME UP AGAIN
Committee Said to Be Deadlocked, But Judge Hungerford of Water- town Will Keep Up Fight

Hartford. Conn.,, May S-(CP)- { Rumors that the legislative com- mittee on public health and safety Is deadlocked on the anti compul- sory vaccination bill, and that i! may die in committee. were offset today by reports that proponents of the measure will make every ef- fort to get in onto the floor of the House. The bill was expected to be reported last week.
 Judge Hungerford. representa- tive from Watertown, who has fought for the measure through two former sessions. will again lead the fight for passage if the bill is reported. Chances for favor- able action in the Legislature are believed brighter than ever before. The Rev. c. H. Reimers, Durham. leader of the movement to remove the compulsory clause from the vaccination law. has waged an un- ceasing campaign throughout the session. He has kept members desks supplied with literature on the matter. and has pointed out that Connecticut is one of the nine states which stin demands vac cination of all children.

Washington, May 8- (UP) - Nellie Tayloe Ross, appointment as director of the United States mint caused considerable comment on the new place of women in Ameni- can government. But as matter of fact q woman has been running the mint for years.
 However, 1t appears that Mrs Ross is going to be about the first director of the mint in recent years who has actually undertaken to learn the job and understand all it's details.
 Miss Mary M./ O'Reilly, white haired. slight of figure and ex- tremely efficient. has been the guiding influence in affairs of the mint for more than two decades. The position of director of the mint has been considered poli- tical appointment and most of the incumbents have been content to let Miss O'Reilly manage the gov ernment's three hints. seven assay offices and some s2,00O, 900, 900 in coinage. about as she desired.
 Robert J. Grant. Mrs Ross pre- decessor, was frank in giving Miss O'Reilly creditor for managership of his department. Once, when he was on the point of revealing some new mint policy, Miss O'Reilly in- terrupted him.
 "I think perhaps that shouldn't be mentioned now, Mir Grant" she said.
 Grant turned to the waiting newspapermen.
 '1f Miss O'Reiliy says no" he said. '"No' it is."
 Mrs Ross tenure of office may cover one of the busiest periods of mint activity. The authorization for war debt payments in silver, con- tained in the omnibus farm relief bill now awaiting final action, would mean an active silver coin age program if the silver payments reached the full $200,O00, 900 fig ure.
 Mrs Ross is taking an intense interest in her work. I'm going to like it extremely we'll" she said after her first week in the comfortable treasury build ing office which overlooks part of the White House grounds. There's s | a great deal to this job and I've had to learn something new every minute"
 Mrs Ross was the third woman | appointed to place of promin- ence in the Roosevelt administra- tion. The other two were Miss Frances Perkins as secretary of labor and Ruth Bryan Owen as | minister to Denmark

 Peiping. May S-CU.P) - Jap anese troops marched back into the I.uan triangle to-day, driving Chinese defenders from strategic positions by infantry shrusts and aerial bombardments.
 Colonel Walter S. Drysdale, com mander of the 18th United states infantry legation guard, reported the re-occupation seemed Il certain raiser to major battles expected momentarily. especially north Peiping at Nantienmen.

While the attacks were in progress Japanese airplanes flew low over the city dropping provisions and munitions to the defenders.

Stabilizing Wheat

The international wheat agreement
recently reached at London may
eventually turn out to be one Of the
most important moves In the COM
plicated game that Is being played
to bring the farmer back to pros
perity.
Behind the agricultural depression
there has stood the simple fact that
the world as whole Is able to raise
q good deal more wheat than can
profitably be sold. And because the
wheat-growing areas are SO wide
ly separated and 50 diverse, it has
not been possible for any one nation,
acting alone, to do anything very ef-
fective to about 1t.
The new agreement is designed to
stabilize world production at a point
which will give growers everywhere
q decent profit. II 1t can help to as
sure that for the American farmer,
We shall have taken a long step on
the road back to good times.

Behind Insults Downfall

Another attempt is being made to
get Samuel insult to come back to
the United States and answer for the
way in which hundreds Of millions
Of dollars Of other peoples money
slipped through his fingers; and It
looks, this time, as If the effort might
b successful.
It would be gratifying. of course,
to see Mr.. insult appear before the
bar Of justice. But there Is no sense
IN letting all Of the public's indigna-
ton over the losses caused by shifty
financiers be concentrated on his
head.
For Mr.. insult. after all, was only
. symptom Of an underlying malady.
When . country goes In for frenzied
finance as we went in for It, 1t Is
bound to have Its insult cases; and
to focus all Of our anger on the man
himself instead Of on the system un-
der which he operated Is to miss the
point entirely.

The Fifteen
New York Tines

Today the special committee Of Is
members appointed by the Massachu-
sets General Court to prepare q
code Of liquor laws will hold its first
public meeting In Boston state house
There will be other hearings in other
parts of the state, but the work ia
which the committee looks forward
with the most expectation Of fruitful
and fruity results is its expedition to
Canada. While only 5000 apiece has
been appropriated for travel within
and without the Commonwealth" the
committee is composed Of solid citi-
zens eager for first-hand information
about liquor control. To get that
they must visit the regions where il
prevails. The chance remarks of vO-
lunteer native witnesses would be
entitled to no high rating.
II mere expert testimony were to
be regarded, small libraries on the
subject are at the committees serv-
ice. The state commission has re-
ported voluminously on all known
varieties Of liquor regulation. Not
from such lifeless If learned pages
but from immediate observation, from
study on the spot, from life itself
from the bar, the restaurant, the
tavern, the container and the bottle
is truth to be sought and found. The
committees travel will be mainly
without the Commonwealth. The pro-
vinces of Quebec and Ontario will be
the theater of investigation. In Que
bee are cellars Of credit and renown
Choice wines, brandies and liqueurs
Of France invite that personal taste
without which discussions Of the po-
Icing of wet ways are but SawduSt.
The indigenous wines are to be tast-
ed. The Canadian ales have their
fame, and legislators upon whom
long sittings in the shadow Of the
Sacred Cod must have acted as a
cumulative shoe-horn will find in
Canada sound and rich whiskies:
and notably that divine Caledonian
drink and dew and yelled smoky fire.
Conditions OF climate, physique,
temperament will be taken into ac-
count by the Fifteen. The Latin
element in Canada has not forgotten
the Latin sobriety. The Irish, Eng
lish and Scotch are strong Of head
and know exactly where their Plim-
soil mark Is. Hard sociological labor
awaits the Fifteen, but the labor We
delight IN physics pain. Labor It Is.
