W ashing tonj&ow Has
Big Opportunity For
Securing Industries
Many Concerns Seeking New Sites
, for Factories; Due to Labor
T roubles
(By CARI# GOERCn )
Washington has one of the beBt x opportunities in its history for
securing new enterprises ? mills and factories ? to locate here.
New York is confronted with ?}v>ig lal>or strike and many indus-i
tries will be tieil up. Many plants in that section are searching for!
new quarters, where 'they may escape this labor trouble.
Representatives of sOme of these companies are already being sent
over the country, looking for available sites. Announcements have
been carried in the papers recently of several changes, having boon
made. ? A]
WASHINGTON WANTS SOME OF THESE INDUSTRIES.
And thero is no question but that some of these industries want
Washington. V"
We have available sites to offer far factories; wo have a favorable
climqte and we have lx>th rail ar&tvatcr transportation and a subse
quent low freight rate. J,
\ But the trouble is that these northern concerns have never heard of
Washington. They don't know what we have to offer them. Wiih
this stato of existing affairs, it is' to be hoped that the Chamber of
Commerce will get together as sgon as possible and arrange for a
schcme of advertising that will bring Washington to the attention of
?<omo of those concerns that are flgnring on changing their factory
location. It is too important a matter to bo neglected.
BLAMES THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING
ONTHEDEMOCRATS
Washington, Sept. 25. ? Represefl-i
tatlvo Kahn, of California, In an ln-J
terview given out here by th.e Re
publican congressional committed, -
rTlaracterlres the; t^iriorirftlle clahifl^
of having reduced the high cost of
living as an out-and-out myth.
"In 1912 tho Democratic party
promised the people of the United
States to reduce the high coat of liv
ing." said Mr. Kahn. "They fulmi
nated against the protective tariff
and blamed the latter for contribut
ing to the increase of prices for food
products of all kinds. This is the
plank of that platform:
" 'The high cost of living is a ser
ious problem IS every American
home. The Republican party, In Its
I platform, attempts to escape from
. responsibility for present conditions
J by denying that they are due to a
I protecAve tarlfT. Wo take issue with
, th?*m on this subject and chargo that
I1 excessive priceB resuIT In a large
'measure from the high tariff laws
f enacted and ^maintained by the Re
1 publican party and from trusts and i
j commercial conspiracies fostered and
{encouraged by such laws and we as
J sert that no substantial relief can bo
ancured for the people without .Im
port duties on the necessaries of life
are materially reduced and th?se
commercial conspiracies broken up.'
"Instead of reducing the price of
ltvJng under this Democratic admin
istration the coat of food products
has constantly Increased. Uncle 8am 1
himself feels the pinch. He is the 1
greatest purchaser of commodities in ;
the United 8tates. He can -b^yi
cheaper than anybody else because he
| buys In such large quantities."
