READING HOSIERY
STRIKE ENDED

Reading, Pa. (ILNS)--Ten thou
sand striking hosiery workers en-
ployed in more than thirty mills in
Reading and vicinity went back to
work following settlement of the
walkout by the National Labor Board,
meeting in Washington.
The agreement effected by the
board declared the strike off and pro-
vided that the workers were to go
back to the mills with no discrimina-
ton to be shown by the employers be-
cause of the walkout or against MEM
bers of the American Federation OF
Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers.
Representative elected by the
workers by secret ballot will carry on
the settlement of any dispute in the
future, but when an agreement is not
reached on any question the contro-
versy will be sent to the National
Labor Board 1t will be the final
authority.

UNIONIZE
All Coal Fields. Cleveland
Operator Urges

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Cut-
throat competition among bituminous
operators has been far more destruc-
tive of economic stability than any
of the alleged practices of the Min
ers' Union, asserted Frank E. Taplin,
Cleveland coal operator in state
ment relative to the coal code hear
ing Taplin said in part:
"In recent years operators who have
dispensed with union agreements have
had plenty of time to view the expert
ence of running without any fixed
wage scale or without having any
labor organization to deal with. 1t
must be admitted by everybody that
the situation is even worse than when
we dealt with the union. Many oper-
ators try to keep their properties
operating by cutting prices to ridic-
ulous figures; then they go back and
cut the wages of the miners, and this
continues until the level of the miners
has been brought down so low in some
places as to be disgrace to the coun-
try. Personally, l would much prefer
to deal with the United Mine Workers
than with these ruthless, price-cut-
ting, wage-cutting operators who are
detriment to the industry.
"What is the difference to an opera
tor in the Ohio coal field, for exam
pie, working under fixed union scale,
trying to compete with the southern
West Virginia operator without any
fixed wage scale, or, as against this
condition, for an operator in the Ohio
field competing with the mine next
to him, when neither one of them has
any fixed wage policy? In other
words, it may be just as easy for a
Northern operator, with union wage
scale, to compete with southern
West Virginia operator, without any
fixed wage scale, as it would be for
a Northern operator to compete with
his next door neighbor when neither
one of them has fixed wage scale
only one pays his men living wages
and the other pays his men starvation
wages.
Boiled down to plain English, |
prefer to deal with a good union un-
der a fixed wage scale, rather than
compete with lot of price-cutting,
wage-cutting operators, which latter
policy fills the mines with commu-
nists, and which condition is respon-
sible for the rise of the National
Miners Union, a communistic organi-
zation, opposed to the United Mine
Workers as strongly as they are op-
posed to non-union miners.
"The Southern high volatile fields
have been cutting wages as well as
the Northern fields. The only way to
solve the wage problem is to put all
competitive fields under a we'll
managed union with a fixed living
wage scale, to which the miners are
entitled, but which can never be done
without union because the operators
will not stick to any decent wage scale
II they are left to their own Devices"

BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW INCREASE
Merchants Seek To Revive
Trade; Much Week.
end Shopping Seen

Although definite figures were
not available, it was learned to-
day that deposits in the State
Trust company yesterday, the first
day following the lifting of the
nationwide bank holiday, brought
the total of deposits to a point
higher than the banks deposits at
the beginning of the period imme-
diately preceding the holiday when
heavy Withdrawals were made.
Officers of the bank said the
total of deposits at the beginning
of business today was not as large
as it has been in the history of
the institution, but with addition
al money coming in today and
more expected on subsequent days
they anticipated new high rec
ord before long, particularly if
business improves as is now ex-
pected.
GIN view Of present economic
conditions we were particularly
we'll pleased with the volume of
new deposits and the absolute abb
sence of fear yesterday" a bank
official said. "This was in marked
contrast with the condition that
existed before the holiday was de-
clared. and we have every reason
to believe that public confidence
will continue to increase.
Merchants, meanwhile. showed
renewed activity in their efforts
to revive retail business and most
of them said they were rewarded
by increased patronage yesterday
afternoon and this morning. Up
town sidewalks, occupied during
the past week by persons with
little tendency to shop for more
than bare necessities of life,
"came to life" yesterday and to-
day and are expected to be crowd
ed Saturday with men and women
of the city and county bent on
making purchases they were I'M
able to make while their money
was tied up in closed banks. Mer-
chants point out that commodity
prices are beginning to mount and
assert that the wise family will
make needed purchases without
delay.

NEW YORK, March II. CUP.
The nations commodity markets
shot prices up yesterday, bringing
potentially hundreds of millions
of dollars to the farmer and pro-
Queer.
Into the cotton exchange on
William street. New York, and the
wheat pit on LaSalle street in
Chicago came a reflection yester-
day of the roaring stock market
of Wednesday. Cotton opened as
high as 81 a bale above the March
3 close, and retained about So of
the gain. Wheat in Chicago ad-
yanced to the limitations placed
on the fluctuation by the dIrec-
tors, as did corn. oats and rye.
But in Chicago trading almost
was at a standstill. There were
buvers. But no one wanted to sell.
In fact. past noon, brokers re-
ported they still had opening bids
to buy at the market, with no one
from whom to buy.
The New York cotton exchange,
however, had nothing of the sort.
Trading was at a tremendous
pace. From the opening gong to
the close. there was constant
hubub as traders bid in the staple:
Floor scenes were reminiscent Oh
the boom era.
The gains in cotton and grains
were the major part of a general
movement upward in commodity
prices, some of which was IN
progress during the banking hoil-
day.
In fact so spirited was the ad-
vance that a number of commodl-
ties including wheat exceeded the
price at which they sold at TINS
time a year ago. ~.
Fluctuations in grains at CHI,
eago were restricted by the board
of trade, wheat to 5 cents, corn
to 8 cents, rye to A cents, oats to

TOTAX ON FOREIGN STOCKS
Works Hardship On Class
Of People Western N.
E.. Would Attract

Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce. meeting in monthly
session Thursday evening, in the
Offices of the organization, adopt
ed resolutions opposing the aboii-
ton of special school districts IN
the state and opposing the taxa
ton of foreign stocks.
The position taken by the d.
rectors with reference to the first
proposition is that if the taxpay-
ers of special school districts de-
sire to pay additional taxes for
additional school facilities they
should have the right and privl-
lege. Opposition to the taxation
of foreign stocks was principally
on the ground that Western North
Carolina is making desperate er'
forts to locate here as citizens,
people from other sections of the
country who have assured IN
comes. Many of these people
from other states have their In
vestments in stocks which are
taxed in the states where the IN
dustries or investments are locat'
ed. We invite them to come here
and live and spend the money
earned in other states and then
proceed to double tax them.
Briefly, this was the stand
taken by the directors, and Secre-
tary Hollowell was instructed to
communicate the views of the
body to Senator j. o. Bell.
Plans for the city identification
program for the spring and sum.
mer season were discussed and
the entire matter was referred 70
the City Identification committee
for action. A.. S. Truck is chair
man of this committee.
Secretary Hollowell informed
the directors that he is instructed
by the authorities that state high
way forces will plant irees, shrub.
or flowers along the highways. II
the trees and plants are supplied
bv citizens. This plan is adopted
with the idea of enlisting the state
highway forces in the beautlnca'
ton of the road sides.
A resolution was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted rendering a vote OF
thanks to Chief of Police Otis v
Powers for his earnest efforts IN
cleaning up the city with the
forces of men placed under his d.
rection by the federal relief au-
thorities. Splendid work is beng
done and Hendersonville will be
one of the cleanest places in the
country when this work is com
pleted.

GENEVA, Mar. II. (UP)-
Premier J. Ramsay Macdonald,
in the role of peacemaker, yes
terday earnestly laid before the
world disarmament commission
a bold proposal for drastic read
justment of ornaments which he
declared was the only sane ave-
nue. toward permanent peace.
The British prime minister,
his iron-grey hair shaggy about
his stern face, surprised the con-
clave by proposing that Germany
be permitted to increase her
armed forces to 100000 men.
The treaty of Versailles limited
her forces to 100000 men.
The British plan would direct
ly affect the United States air
force. 1t calls for prohibition
of air bombing planes and sets
the number of airplanes owned
by the major powers, including
the United States, to 500 each.
This would mean that America
would have to scrap $500
planes.
The first section of the con-
vention deals with security bas-
ed on the Kellogg pact outlaw
ing war. It declares that in
case war is undertaken in breach
of the pact. there will be a con-
ference among. the parties con-
cerned if any of. the five great
powers-Britain( France, Italy,

does not produce the hoped-for
result I shall be the first to ac-

The bounty will be raised by i'm
posing taxes on processors-men
who turn raw farm crops into fin

Thirty one Democrats and IL
