LABOR MOVES
FOR RESCUE OF
TEXTILE TRADE
Joins With New England
Industrialists Demanding
Drastic Steps
BY H. r. EKINS
United Press Staff Correspondent

united fress quart Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 7. (UP) |
Organized labor, represented by
William E. G. Batty, vice presi-
dent of the Massachusetts, FEEDER
alton of Labor, united with New
England industrialists and Gov
ernor James M. Curley of Massa-
chusetts yesterday in demanding
administration action to save the
American cotton textile industry.
Appearing before President
Roosevelt's cabinet textile COM
mittee, Curley and Batty, sup
ported by Representative Edith N.
Rogers, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts, Representative Charles
w. Tobey, Republican, Of New
Hampshire, and prominent indus
trialists from New Bedford, Fall
River and Salem, urged that
something drastic be done imme-
diately about:
l. Solving the problem of un-
DdldHceu prOuuctloH.
2. Adjusting the wage differ
entail.
8. Modifying cotton processing
tax methods.
a. Meeting foreign, especially
Japanese, competition.
James Tansey, president of the
American Federation Of Textile
Operatives, advocated payment of
the processing tax from work-re-
lief funds.
"The present system is operat-
ing to the disadvantage of labor
and deprives the industry Of its
working capital" he said.
Lieutenant Governor Joseph
Hurley of Massachusetts,, former
mayor of Fall River, the largest
textile center in the United
States said New England does not
place responsibility for the plight
of the industry on the govern
ment.
"But the government can aid
US by equalizing wages, changing
the processing tax method and by
protecting the industry against
low priced imports" Hurley tes-
tivied.
Hurley defended New Eng
land industrial methods as eff
cient and humane. He discussed
with Secretary of State Cordell
Hull, Secretary of Commerce
Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Ag.
riculture Henry A. Wallace and
Secretary of Labor Frances Per
kins the migration of the textile
industry to the south.
"The real reason for the trans
fer is not the advantage that
would result from proximity to
the base of supplies but rather to
escape the progressive, humane
laws enacted for the protection
of the life, limb and health of the
workers in the north, plus a wage
scale in keeping with the recog-
nized American standards of liv-

World Cotton Conference Delegates
To Rome Issue Final Warning U. S.
MAY Lose Its Trade With 3 Nations
Say Decrease Begun Last
Year to Grow Unless
Practices Abated
BY v. M. PINKLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

Rome, May 7.-(UP)-South
America, especially Brazil, will
make huge inroads into Americas
export market for cotton unless
the United States heeds the warn
ings sounded at the international
cotton congress departing dele
gates said yesterday.
The congress last week unani-
mously adopted three resolutions
censur;ng the United States for
false-packed bales, methods of
marketing and the deteriorating
quality of American cotton. The
body also privately condemned
the NRA for it's Attempts to fix
the price of cotton, but at the
same time expressed approval of
the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration for its systematic
program of studying crops and
aiding agricultural organization.
Delegates told the United Press
it was significant the resolutions
of censure "came from spinners
and buyers Of % nations who
have grown tired of asking re-
forms in the United States meth
cd of packing, of the Roosevelt
administrations effort to fix the
price of the staple and of Amerli-
can marketing practices"
Seriousness of the situation is
to be stressed in lengthy report
being prepared for the United
States department of agriculture
by Dr.. Henry C. Taylor, perma-
men. American representative Of
the international Institute of Ag-
riculture at Rome, who attended
the congress.
He urged the United States by
cable last week to take immediate
government action to eliminate
false labelling of bales and asked
for full cooperation by America
with international organizations.
Members of the congress said
the decrease in world consump-
ton of American cotton in 1884
would continue undated unless
reforms were made. They warned
the statement of w. M. Virgins,
chairman of the body, that
American cotton must be boy
cotted by European spinners un-
less grievances are removed" was
more than an idle threat.
Cotton men pointed out Ameri-
can exports of cotton in 1894
were only 7,534,515 bales, CON-
pared with 8,419,399 in 1888 and
that the loss would have been
much greater if it had not been
for a large increase in purchases
by China and Japan. Dwindling
exports this season also were def
mite Indications, they claimed.
The European cotton textile
industry can operate without the
United States cotton because of
the fact that Brazil doubled her
cotton acreage and production in
the past year, while Egypt in
creased her production approx
mately 60 per cent and grew an
additional amount of short sta
pies at attractive prices, members
of the congress said.

PATSY ANN HAS NEW VESSEL TO GREET TODAY

Patsy Ann, Juneau's official can inc greeter, had new whistle to listen for today. But she heard the -throated whistle of the North Sea, Northland Transportation Company's newest fleet addition, all right. She was on hand at 7:30 o'clock this morning when the boat berthed at Femmer's Dock.
 The North Sea, cleaning white above her green waterline, was given a royal sendoff in Seattle on her maiden voyage and received just as royal welcomes at Ketchi- kan, Wrangell and Petersburg on her way north. She was given an- other fitting welcome here today when hundreds of Juneauites board- ed her on inspection tours.
 Visitors apparently were pleased with the carefully arranged and selected appointments of the vessel as well as its modern roominess. They noticed that the North Sea is registered here.
 Officers Listed
 But not only is the North Sea new to the Southeast Alaska run, but many of her crew are either new or are returning to northern waters after a long run.
 The vessels skipper is Capt. A. W. Nickerson. He is a former Northland and Admiral Line boat executive.
 Assisting him as First Officer and Pilot is Capt. A. Eklhom, former master of the motorship Norco. The Second Officer is George Barrell. B. w. Joyce is Third Officer.
 Purscr Is Gillespie
 B. R. Gillespie, for 19 years con- nected with the Admiral Line, is Purser. His assistant is R, V. Harris.
 D. A. Noonan, former Admiral Line and Northland employee, is Chief Steward, while s. E. Chil- colt is Second Steward. Miss Eli nor Miller is Stewardcss.
 R. K. Willis is Chief Engineer.
 Purser Gillespie told an Empire reporter that the North Sea aver aged 13 knots an hour on her run from Rake, but that her engines hadn't yet been broken in en- tirely."

Al restores to prestine beauty, Slanting heel and ragged toe, It's his privilege and duty, Shoes to polish--hammer-sew Al, the Wide Awake" repairs them, Take your work to him to-day, Then, once more, my lady wears them, Boots correct for garments gay.

 FICTION COMES TO CAPITOL SUN.

The Count of Monte Cristo," one of the ten best pictures of 1884, in which Alexander Dumas masterpiece has been transferred to the talking screen, will open at the Capitol Theatre tomorrow af- ternoon, at o'clock on a big pro gram that will be continuous from that hour.
 Newsreel shots of the inaugural flight of the Pacific Alaska Air ways plane to Fairbanks, on it's weekly schedule, will also be a special feature of the big Eass2r Sunday program.
 In The Count of Monte Cris- to- said to be as nearly perfect pictorially, sound direction and act ing, as anything produced since the inception of talking pictures, Rob- ert Donat, co-stars with Elissa Landi. Donat, brought to America to play this role, is everything that the masculine or feminine cinema fan could desire in the way of a leading man.
 Proud of NewsreeI
 Since the matter of transpor- tation in Alaska has evolved from walking to dog teams and from 'mushing' to planes, the manage ment of the Capitol feel it is privileged to show on the screen an event that will go down in his tory of the Territory. The Pacific Alaska Airways, Inc, is to be com plimented on it's initiative and cour- age in bringing a means of lux urious and rapid transportation to one of the last frontiers" William Huggart, manager of the Capitol said today.
