British Cotton Mill Boom Finds Lack of Operatives. (By the Associated Press.) Manchester, Jan. 15.—Something of a transformation is happening in the, Lancashire cotton trade, which has been under a cloud of depression since the great boom of A few years ago. Looms which stood id’.e for many months are being run again, and on'looking round for operatives to work other looms, manufacturers find they have migrated to other industries. This necessitates the adoption of methods hitherto foreign to the trade, and unknown to the oldest weaver. Children leaving school are induced immediately to enter the weaving sheds, and not only learn the business but aTe paid for it, while older weavers get extra pay to teach the youngsters the craft. As in almost every other# big industry nowadays, employer's interest does not bait with teaching the trade to youngsters, they are encouraged to at , tend municipal colleges for technical training so that When the next big boom arrives, the trade will be in an efficient state to cope with it — Dr. W.

MOTON PRAISES LIBERAL TREND IN THE SOUTH Outstripping North in Racial Adjust ments, Tuskegee Head Tells New York ers. New York. .Tau. 13.—“ The South has made better progress toward right race relations than the North in the last ten years. Things in the- North seem stand ing' still by comparison,” declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to an audience of wealthy and influential New Yorkers at the Town Hall last week. "Southern white women,” Dr. Moton continued, “have passed resolutions de claring theat they want no chivalry that’ is not also extended to colored women. It is not hazardous any more for a white man or woman to stand Up and say ‘I am a friend of the Negro.’ A man who got up in any influential gathering and said that he did not believe in Negro ed ucation would be hooted down. “Deep down in the heart of the aver age Southern Negro there is a genuine appreciation of the White man, and deep down in the heart of the white man there is a genuine approbation of the Negro. The Commission on Interracial Co-opefntion, with headquarters 'in At lanta, is loosening up in a most whole some way this pend-up friendship which often hitherto was not expressed in any -concrete form. Men and women of both (races are stitting down now talking out their difficulties with a frank boss and sympathy which yould have seemed im possible ten years ago, with the result that the situation is growing better ev ery day. While there is room for im provement, a few years ago I did not think I would live to see sentiment on the part of southern white people so friendly in desire for justice and fair plai along all lines of human endeavor as it is today.” Dr. Moton attached world-wide signifi cance to America’s efforts for right ra cial adjustment “I somehow think,” he said, “that the way the race problem is handled in America will determine the method by which different races in other parts of the world will adjust their re lations, one to the other. We in Ameri ca therefore have a large responsibility and a concrete obligation.” The meeting was in the interest of the endowment campaign of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes and high tributes were paid' to these institutions and their foun ders “for the way they have preached the dignity of labor, taught the Negro respect for himself and shown the possi bility for white and pluck to work to gether in peace, harmony and mutual helpfulness.” Suit Against Vanderllp Settled.
