p Istice Is over In New England, ho
far as the textile trades are con-'
r c?*rn?'d. and tlx- noun of tin* shirt
and the cheruise is likely to have
? a few lit* expensive notes Inject
ed Into It in consequence for the
? remainder of the country. Some
, of the larvsi Maine and New
- Hampshire mills have rut wane*, i
New Bedford ami l*all River mills ;
* are prepared to follow suit. Labor
tenders are equally prepared toj
light any trend toward lower
scale* and each side is waiting k
* only to estimate the trend of j?uh- '
11c opinion before h< i;innlnK uc- 1
tlve hostilities.
* ? The Amoskeag mills, large pro- ;
' dncers of cotton cloth, took .the!
Initial step. They not only cut Jj
wanes ten per cent hut an- con- I
Hlderlnt demanding a reduction in
working hours from 54 to
hours a. week. This would put '
? the New Hampshire mills on an
?? ??Qual footing with those of Mas
^uachututts. The latter, however.
* *bavc not generally put into effect I
the wane reduction and Kail Klv
-? t *tr manufacturers have dcclded not
t* act as a body In this matter
* but to allow each mill to settle its
m own differences with Its employes
separately. The executives there
a, ^ are not a unit in declaring that a .
* Wage reduction would increase
y _ business.
Maine manufacturers have an
? nounced want* reductions amount

la nounceinents were the Edwards,

r turers of the entire New En*;land
district point out that wages now

increase of 12 4 lK*r cent which
went into effect In April, 1922,1
the cotton goods trade has been ,
subnormal.
Strenuous opposition to any
general reduction is expected <
from the unions. Already the la
bor. leaders have commenced to Are '
heavy guns loaded with words [
like "primogeniture^ and "nepo-!
tism." They declare that the mills
of New England, passed from ?
father to sou. have fallen into a 1
rut. that they operate on anti-'
quated production and selling ?
methods and that there is too I
much "family" in the manage
ments.
The labor leaders take the posi
tion that workers are entitled to]
competent and efficient manage
ment and up-to-date equipment as
well as those who buy the product >
of the mills. They declare that I
the New England mills have not
sought to And what the public de-j
manded but rattier to tell the pub-j
lb- what It ahould buy, and that
the slump in New England textile J
trade is due in large part to such
mlMjudgment of modern trade
trends. 1

" eral grand Jury had spcut muco
than n month investigating charg
es alleged waste, graft and de

A few months later Forbes and

similar charges, the second Indict
ments being returned in an ef
fort to comply with legal techni
calities overlooked In. the first

commit bribery and conspiracy
to defraud the government, while
Forbes; was named ulon?- in one
indictment on a charge ->f accept
ing a bribe and Thonyison in an
other on a charge of offering a
bribe.
The grand Jury investigation
here followed an investigation of
the Veterans' Bureau by a senate
committee in Washington which
? charged fraud, corruption and
mismanagement of the bureau.
The original indictments charged
that Forbes, while director of the
bureau, received a bribe of $5,000
and certain additional emoluments
on agreement to award contracts
for government hospital work for
world war veterans to the con
tracting firm of Thompson and
-Wack of ? which Thompson and
James W. Black, deceased, were
the heads. Charles F. Cramer,
former general counael for the bu
reau who committed suicide af

the indictment as having accepted
a promise of $luo,oou from
