F1KE PREVENTION NUMBER - VOL. XV. FINAL EDITION ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5. 1925. SIX PAGES. NO. 255 U. S. Federation Of Labor Will Ask Congress Revise Textiles Tariff Downward Demand (iunies a? Kewtilt of Keduction Wages on I'art of Textile Interests While Olher Industrie* Have Maintained Wage Scale, De clares President Green Bj DAVID LA Wit EN CK (CaortUM. [in n* A?*tnr*> Washington, Oct. 5.?Congress will be asked by the Am erican Federation of Labor to revise the tariff downward on textiles. This is an extraordinary request for the American Federation of Labor, and is, paradoxically enough, not a change in labor's attitude toward the protective tariff as a whole. < "We feel that the protective tariff is a good thing," said President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, last week, "because American labor is protected in its high wages. But when the textile industry takes ad vantage of conditions entirely apart from labor factors to reduce wages then it is time to call the attention of Con gress to the situation and de mand a lower tariff. "I know of do (tingle industry that has done thlM except textile?. Even the steel business despite Its ?fluctuations has maintained Its wage scales. It Ih obviously un fair to labor to be taken advan tage or Just because operations have to be curtailed because of dlmunutlon in demand. The pub lic has not received the benefit of these reductions in lower prices so 1 feel the tariff should come down. We shall go before the ways and moans committee and place all the facts at their disposal and ask for a revision downward." Mr. Oreen last summer Issued a statement decrying the roductlon In wages in the textile industry but he did not say how vigorously he lntonded to follow it up. His silence for several weeks has been Interpreted in some quarters as the end of the Issue. Mr. Green, however, will place the matter be fore the annual convention of the American Federation of I^abor at Atlantic City next week and reso lutions condemning the reduction in wages and ftqueatllg a revi sion of the tariff are almost cer tain to be adopted. "Not all the textile manufac turers feel the same about It," Mr Green says. "We have letter from some of the Rhode laland m inw facturers who are in disagreement with some of the MaamellUSCtt* men on the subject." Mr. Green's effort to revise the tariff 1? signi ficant. Hitherto labor haK always declared that the protective tariff maintained high wages. The A.' P. of L. is unwilling to pronounce the protective tariff as a whole because the tariff rates In some industries ar?- regarded as a real protection to wa^es. I)ut there are other demands from various parts of the 1'nltcd States for a revision downward of the tariff, particularly from some agricul tural regions where the rates have not been effective In keeping the American price high and where the eost of commodities purchased by the farmer consumer has been high. The Coolldge administration has made up Its mind to rosist any tariff revision whatsoever, being' unwilling to recognise even the J Just claims for revision here and > there because It might open up I the whole tariff law to amend-, j inent. And Just now the admin-1 1 Istratlon is anxious to get Its tax, bill out through the next seaalon and postpone If possible the con troversy on the tariff until the Congressional elections of 192t> are over. President Coolldxe and Senator 8moot and Representative Green ?the latter two being chairmen of the commltees which handle tariff questions?are In absolute agreement on the subject of let ting the tariff law alone for the present. Insurgent sentiment will { have to be developed fconslderably more If the matter is to be count ed as a major issue In the coming session of Congress. The Demo crate. as usual, will back any de mand for a lower tariff and will do all they can to assist the Am erican Federation of I*abor to get a change In the textile tariff It Is a subject thst lends Itself particularly to politics this year M Senator William M Butler, chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee and political manager for Mr. CoolldK'1 Is al ready In the midst of his cam paign for election next fall, and Is almost certain to have as his opponent former Senator David Walsh who has been deploring the reduction In wages and" making considerable fuss about It In N -w Kngland. Ho whether the admin istration does anything about it In the coming session of Congress, the Issue Is bound to creep Into Ibe Congressional elections In va rious parts of the country. It would be Inaccurate, how eter, to assume that the tariff Is sue haa as yet awakened any con siderable public Interest?at least Continued on page 4 r DIVERTING TALE HARD BELIEVE And So Two Negroes Ad , judged Guilty Handling Liquor Monday A highly diverting tale of going out Into the country to seek for I a quart of liquor that nome "show , men" had told him they had hid- ' | den near the railroad, without { j specifying which railroad or on | what road, recited on the witness I stand by Pete Nixon and corro-; j borated by his companion and ! Sawyertown neighbor. A. C. Hol 1 loman. failed to win credence from County Judge Sawyer In record ; er's court Monday and both ne , groes were fined (50 each and ; c osts on charges of possession and | transporting. A suspended jail , sentence was Imposed on a third | count, charging the purchase of | liquor. Evidence of the police tended ' to show that Nlxou and Holloman ' took the liquor to a certain woods ) near the city last Wednesday j morning and went back In the af l ternoon to get It. While bring ing it out. they discovered that Police Officers Wlnslow and Twiddy were waiting for them at Holloman's cat*, in which they had come to the scene, and dropped the liquor In such haste that they did not have time to { hide ft. The policeman found a five gallon Jug beside the path out of which one of the negroes rames shortly after the pair had 1 departed. The Jug. brought Into court Monday us evidence, con tained about a gallon of corn. "They've used up all the good yarn's." said County Judge Saw yer in imposing sentence, "and now when they try to invent a new one It Is so incredible that one's Imagination Is put to a so- [ vere strain to credit It. I'm not! naying that these defendants have j lied, but I do say that the tale they tell is extremely hard to be-, lieve." Holloman claims to have come here from New Bern, and little i is known of him. He 1# on the * pay roll of the electric light plant as Henry Jones, and automobile' Ikeue record shows the name of: A. J. Holloman. Holloman claims, however, that his true name Is j Arthur Calvin Holloman and that i he has never been In court as a , I defendant before. Nixon Is a' I regular drinker and has been sub : pected by the police of selling: i liquor for some time. i LA BOK CONV ENES IN FORTY-FIFTH SESSION: Atlantic City, Oct. 5.?Repre- 1 sentatlves of nearly 3.000.000 or-1 ganlx*d workers assembled today" for the formal opening of the for Ity-flfth annual convention of llM ' American Federation of Labor.

There, he scarcely will j touch green corn, and has been III- ; I tie In evidence until recently, j though now his depredations an-1 exasperating the farmers.

Already 1 they arc oiling up their traps and i otherwise prepsring to give him k ' warm reception. One farmer has hit upon a novel scheme to keep the bears out of. his pigpen, though thus far Iti I efficacy hss pot been tested thor oughly. He hangs an old ahlrt. unwashed, on the fence, and tells his neighbors this will furnlah adequate protection for his hogs. Tbe neighbors aay they don't, blame the bears for staying away Thla farmer adopted the ahlrt i Idea after he had tried out several others, with Indifferent succeaa For a time he kept a lighted lan* i tern hanging at night near the; enclosure In which he kept his1 hogs. Thla was all right for a while. Then hogs began vanish-' Ing myaterlously. Bruin had evi dently discovered that the Isntern didn't mean such a lot. Next, thla resourceful farmer hung a bell on hla fenee. Ho told folks llYlng In the neighborhood that tha bear, through politeness or merely by Inadvertence, would | be certain to ring the .bell when ever he called. But Bruin nfver did. and a few more hogs went squealing the way of their unfor tunate brethren. The outcome of it all was that( the farmer In question this fall has hung one of his well worn ' shirts, unlaundered. on the fence. Bruin ordinarily pays little stten tlon to the human scent, unles? the Individual la immediately In the offing. It may be, however,, that Bruin la a fastidious creature to whom an unwashed sarmert Is so repugnsnt thst he will shun the pen on which It hsngs Th?' neighbors are watching the out come of the experiment with keen latereal.
