2 THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 8, 1921. PROTECTION FOR TEXTILES URGED Present Uncertainties Are Preventing Operation of Old Enterprises. . Washington. Dec. 8. Prompt action on the tariff bill was asked oday by spokesmen for cotton goods manufact urers appealing before the Eanate fi nance committee. Present uncertain ties, it was said, were preventing the ac tive operation of old enterprises bnd the stimulation of new ones. "Cotton manufacturers today are op erating on a day to day basis and are unable to look ahead and make plans for future ctivity," said Arthur N. Lowe, speaking for the Association of Manufacturers, both North and South. "We meet the keenest competition in i our markets from Japan, England, Bel gium and other sections of Europe where long established industries are paying low wages." Declaring that the present Under wood act does not afford proper protec tion to the industry, Mr. Lowe said Congress must look at the question in a broad way. "The textile industry is a basic me,' he added, "and I cannot impress loo strongly upon this committee he im portance of its prosperity, not only rf all the eastern states, but for the spreading of prosperity throughout the country." Favoring the American valuation plan, the witness said that, unless this was retained, the Fordney bill would have to be rewritten as to rates. Even with American valuation, he added, the measure is not "sufficiently protective", as the rates on cotton manufactures GAMBLING GAME ENDS JN COURT Members of Party Charged One of Principals With Wielding Pistol. Answering to the charges of holding up a poker game at a local hotel Tuesday night and relieving the par ticipants of their cash, O. C. Butler, young white man in the employ of John Wilkinson, of this city, was found not guilty by Acting Recorder Wade Williams in the recorder's court Thursday morning. The case, however, resulted in the plaintiffs, W. J. Wilson, of Charlotte. B. C." White, and B. W. Johnson, of Rosemary, paying a fine of $10 each for gambling. The true thread of the story ran in such a zigzag fashion that the gist of the whole affair was hard to grasp, but everything from a hold-up to an assault was touched upon. The rum pus pot began to boil Tuesday night when Johnson, a traveling salesman, was alleged to have been accosted by G. C. Fite. of this city, and invited to have a drink In a few minutes the curtain rose upon a scene in Johnson's room on the fourth floor of the hotel in which the principal actors were John son, Butler, White, Wilson and a man named Sharp, who is said to be in the employ of the Southern Railroad. Af ter taking a few drinks, the deck was cleared for action and -a poker game inaugurated. Butler appeared to have grown richer by the contest. Then came the melodrama. It was alleged that in the midst of the game Butler suddenly sprang up, threw one hand to his back pocket and demanded all the cash in the crowd. He got it No Common Towels Used In This Hotel Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 8 A strange interpretation, of the State law pro hibiting the use of the "common towel" in public places has been re ceived by State health officials from a hotel proprietor in a small town. A formal notice was served on him that he must discontinue the use of a "common towel" in his inn. In an indignant protest, he replied that he did not "use common towels, but had his wife make a special trip to Philadelphia to purchase linen ones." POLICEMEN ARE 'PROMPT ACTION Iootton growers for DEATHS FUNERALS are "very much lower than under i ny i At least that's what the witnesses tes flViUUO J14I'H1 1 1 1 Lai ILL I ' I i 1 . Mr. Lowe said that, while cotton man ufacturers did not believe in tho licens ing of the importation of dyestuffs cr any embargo, they did believe in a du ty on dyestuffs which would establish and maintain the dyestuffs industry of this coountry. Stuart W. Cramer, of Charlotte, N. C, representing the American Cotton Man ufacturers' Association, said the asso ciation "will accept the scale of ad va lorem rates in the Fordney bill based on American valuations with the expecta tion that corresponding increase will be made in those rates if the American valuation plan is modified and rates arc based on foreign values". Rates on cotton yarns suggested l.y Mr. Cramer, in the event of modifica tion of the American valuation plan, were in some instances nearly touble those in the Fordney bill.

But Judge Williams peeled the crim inal banana from both ends and split it in the middle. It looked to him that the rest of the party was "sore" be cause Butler won the money and that they accordingly swore out the war rant charging the hold-up. Anyway, when Butler was arrested he only had $14 on his person, which was about $23 less than the amount the plaintiffs al leged they lost. But the 'pot continued to boil over. It was brought out that G. C. Fite and Butler took a walk after the game. They decided to enter an alley on Pop lar street to take a drink. No sooner had they paused than something hit them a terrific blow and both went down to the ground together. When they regained their feet, Fite declared himself robbed and charged the whole business to Butler's account. Butler was arrested immediately and brought to jail, but the alleged stolen property was not found on him. Neither did he have a gun, as was alleged in the warrant sworn out against him. Judge Williams rebuked the entire party and warned the members that in heating the pot it was not com mendable to have thrown Butler into the stew. CANTON GOVERNMENT PREPARES CAMPAIGN? !

Fifteen hundred I policemen were sent to the stockyards today, when, long before daylight, sev eral groups of persons, including a few women, gathered about the stock yards. Only a few hours before, po lice had fired into thousands of striko sympathizers, who attacked the plant employes, and, finally, the policemen. Last night's toll of casualties included one dead, nine seriously injured and an uncounted number hurt when mounted police charged into the crowd with drawn batons. All saloons in the neighborhood of the yiL-ds were closed today by order of Chi of of Pclice Fitzmorris. When the strike went into effect here Monday, there was little trouble and the situation remained quiet until last night when workers began to leave the yards. Strikers on picket duty and strike sympathizers blocked their way to the car lines and policemen tried to make lanes through the crowds. Hun dreds suddenly swelled the ranks of the strike sympathizers until they overwhelmed the few hundred police men on duty, and riot calls were sent in. When re-inforcements arrived, tne crowd was finally scattered and ths heavy guards were partially with drawn. However, by 2 o'clock this morning they began wandering back and the number increased so quickly that, the regular 500 policemen on duty were increased to 1.500. - The man killed last night was an unidentified negro, who was seized by I URGED BY DYER Early Consideration Anti Lynching Bill Debated by .

The body was recovered several hours later. The larger packers say they are working about 90 per cent of normal, while the smaller firms have given out statements that their output is curtail ed to 50 or 60 per cent of normal. Forty men were cut and bruised, this morning when strike sympathizers stormed an elevated train carrying packer employes to the yards. All windows of the train were broken by missiles which were thrown at it. E. B. JEFFRESS HURT IN MOTOR ACCIDENT Greensboro. Dec. 8. E. B.

The committee made no decision. Representatives opposed to the legis lation, including Representative Sum ners, Texas, ranking Democrat on the judiciary committee, will be heard to morrow.
