HAL MILLION DLE | IN BRIMISH STRIKE: 1500 MLS CLAS Cotton Trade Workers Walk Out When Employers Announce Reduction in Wages OUTGROWTH OF DEPRESSION Nearly Every City in Lancashire Is Affected; $5,000,000 Wage Loss Weekly Manchester, England, July 29.—(#) Half a million cotton trade workers struck this morning, closing down 1,500 mills, when employes refused to recede from their intention of cutting ‘Wages 12% per cent. The strike was the outgrowth of continued depression in the textile trade which three weeks ago led to an announcement by employers that @ 12% per cent reduction in wages ‘would be made effective. Nearly every city and town in Lan- cashire is affected by the strike, which is expected to cause a loss in ‘wages of about £1,000,000 (about $5,- 000,000) weekly. All mills were open as usual today but the unions were staunch. Mills whose owners are not mem- bers of the masters’ federation an- nounced they could continue paying. the old wage rate temporarily. They employ only a few thousand out of Lancashier’s workers. Scranton Will Have Brick and Tile Firm Scranton, N.

D. Law Appeal of the Hoover Grain com- pany, Minneanolis, for relief from assessment of $1,107.38 as North Dakota income tax for 1924 was de- nied today by the state supreme court, The Hoover company contends; that it had made its income tax re- port because of an erroneous con- ception of the law and that it should pay no tax in North Dakota because it performed no purchases, sales or other service for North Dakota clients and hence derived no income from its North Dakota business. The company contended that it is a grain brokerage firm and derives its profits from selling in Minnesota grain bought in North Dakota. The supreme court, however, failed to pass on the merits of the} appeal, holding that it could not con- sider it because the company had failed to comply with the technical requirements of the statute per- mitting appeals from decisions of the state tax commissioner who as- sessed the tax. In other decisions announced to-| day by the supreme court, convic- tion of George Kingen in Billings county for petit larceny was af- firmed; judgment against Arthur Rode in a suit brought by Theodore Mielke as guardian for Ernie Micl- ke, obtained in the Stutsman county district court, was reversed and the case dismissed; Arthur Scheck was granted a new trial on a charge of issuing a check upon a bank in which he had insufficient funds. He was convicted in Logan county. The court held that direction by the trial judge that the jury return a verdict of guilty was prejudicial error.
