PLANT OWNERS
 MADE TARGETS
Carpet Factories Laying Off Many Men; No Req.
 son for It Given

Thompsonville, Conn, Nov. 5.-- (Up)-The layoff of approximately 2.000 workers at the local and Am- sterdam, N. F., plants cf the Big elow-Sanford Carpet Co, was de- clared by the textile union today as having mo sound basis" and as an attack upon the national ad- ninistration". Locally about 1000 employees have been temporarily laid off and the remaining 1000 given an average of two and one-half days work a week. At Amsterdam, where 3,400 are employed, the same situation was said to exist. The combined plants, 1t was reported, dropped within a week from a nor nal one million pounds to 3o0,0oo pounds per week. The curtailed production was laid to recession in trade.
 Attack on Administrati ton
 "Considering the suddenness and wholesale effect of this so-called depression" 0 union executive com- mittee statement said, Tt appears to be a concerted effort and attack upon the national administration at q time when congress has been called to legislate for the people. This action on the part of indus trialists has two-fold purpose. First, 1t aims to destroy all possi- bility of wage and hour bill be- Ing enacted at the special session Of congress, Secondly, If enough pressure can be produced at this time, these industries hope to re- ceive Q reduction, if not a total rec peal, of the excess profits tax"
 The Bigelow-Sanford Co.,, the committee declared, stands to save $600,o00 of the profit tax is elim- mated. We feel that any company can curtail its productive efforts for c period of two months or more when the stakes are as high as they are at present."

MANUFACTURERS.
 HAVE ANSWERED
Reply to Challenge About Putting Their Own
 House in Order

New York, Nov. 5-(Up)-The National Association of Manufac- turers made public today declara- ton of ''ethical business princi- ples," which 1t said was "a direct answer to those who challenge in- dustry to put its own house in or- der" Such 6 challenge was made by President Roosevelt. #.
 The associations committee on industrial practices, which drafted the declarationp announced that its accompanying report would be sub- mitted to the congress of American industry December 2 to be studied by manufacturers throughout the country.
 "Anti-industry propaganda" the committee declared, seeks to mag nifty every case of abuse and to make the public believe that ques- tionable practices are typical of the entire private enterprise system.
 Honestly Conducted
 Careful analysis will reveal to any unbiased critic the fact that the vast majority of American bus- mess has been honestly conducted on sound principles. But 1t Is true, as in all walks of life, that Q small element in private enterprises has abused Its privileges"
 The committee recommended that industry employ no person under l6 year of age, or any person under 18 years of age for any job recog- nized as hazardous; that the pub- lie be informed "as to the accom- plishments of the American private enterprise system; that industry expose the "fallacies of proposals to abolish or cripple the American pri- vate enterprise system: and that all business adhere to "well tested and high principles of conduct"
 Best Practices ,s...
 It set forth the following "hest business practices: To.
 Flair treatment to every cus- toner on a basis of profit to both seller and buyer" ...,.
 2-Fair treatment to the supplier on @ similar basis.
 S-Cooperation with competitors within legal limits" on Q basis that will "assist each unit in industry to operate under high business stand ards" and enable industry to serve the public effectively and eco. nomically."
 A sound and well-defined" labor policy suitable to the prob- lens of each particular industry, free interchange of ideas between management and employees. Adequate opportunity for ad- )ustment of complaints, maintenance of good working conditions and fair wages for work performed"
 5-Recognition of interests of stockholders "so as to render sound service at a fair average profit"
 6-Preservation of credit standing and goodwill by flair, equitable of creditors"
 7-Demonstration that business IS & desirable citizen of the local com- In which 1t operates"
 8-Co-operation with government 'in the exercise of their lgitirnhte functions" -

Thomaston. Nov. 5.--To promote a better attitude toward school ac- tivities and to insure Q higher standard in conduct in and out of school by the pupils will be the aim of the new sportsmanship club, the idea of which was originated by As- sistant Principal Mandell Green and introduced by him at an assembly of high school pupils yesterday. The primary issue of the club which will be organized and named in the near future, Is to arouse enthusiasm and better school spirit.
 Pupils belonging to the club, of whom all in the school are eligible, must pledge to conduct themselves both in and out of school, In such a manner as to be credit to the school, their parents, friends and themselves.
 Membership in the club will not be confined solely to those who ere in a position to regularly attend bas- ketball games throughout the sea- son but as an added effort to en- courage team support and enthus" iasm the price of admission ticket to club members will be greatly re- duced. The admission price In past seasons was 25 cents whereas to club members this season ticket will De ten for Q dollar. It Is thought that this feature will serve as nucleus to promote the aim of the club in general.
 Club members will be responsible for the prevailing atmosphere at all athletic contests and also for the actions of pupils in school. Ever mindful of their own conduct they wil be constantly watchful of others
 Teachers to be actively associated with the club are Miss Edith Mona han, Miss Jane Pratt and Albert Ebner.

 And now she and this man were dancing together, without words, content to let the music speak for them, not caring that they were strangers in this gay ballroom and could dance with no one else.

 Ever save Q girls life before?" Martha laughed
 "N-no. Not that recall. And can't really count this time, be- cause I was . fool not to warn you. Suppose you'd jumped in before I got down to the beach2v
 Martha shuddered. I'd rather not imagine thatl"
 As Martha danced in the Bali room of the Del Monte that night 1t seemed to her that 1t had been ages since she'd heard a rhythmic swing for dancing. So much had happened in the last two days, so much that was frightening and in- applicable, that she owned the feel ing of having lived years since she and Betty had started so blithely from San Diego.
 And now - she knew it almost beyond a doubt = she was falling in love with Gerry Neal. Falling in love with man she hardly knew, man she should be re- garding with suspicion rather than tenderness.
 But there 1t was. Since first she had been able to reason, Mar tha had never dodged the truth about herself. And the truth was certainly this: either she was in love with Neal, or she was pre- cariously close to 1t As she danced in Gerry Meals arms she remembered, curiously, something she had said to Betty Haynes not long before. They had been reading in the newspaper of a wife testifying for her husband accused of murder and racketeer- ing. T don't know what he did, the wife had said. He'd never tell me. But loved him and that was all that mattered That was the woman's testimony, and Martha remembered saying, "It doesn't sound right to me. I can't imagine loving 8 man you didn't know any more about than that"
 Well, it could happen. It was happening now in hundreds of places all over the world. At this moment hundreds of women were realizing it could happen, just as sch was now. It gave her 8 queer, fatalistic feeling to think that she was one of them.
 Coming back from the beach that afternoon she began to real- ize it. Gerry Meals kiss was still on her lips, and she had sat there,
