Industrial reorganization plans spon- sored by the new union of employers will very directly affect the workers in the cotton industry. The industry leads all others in the number of workers employed, the manufacturers say. Curtailment of production in cotton mills is on the increase, the manufac- turers report, meaning less work for the workers and less pay. Curtail- ment varies from 20 per cent to 50 per cent and in the southern yarn spinning mills, particularly, it is done ‘by mutual agreement. The manufacturers’ organizations in other industries, particularly open shop steel, are to be studied for guidance of the cotton men’s merger, Bunny thought quickly. It was a delicate ethical question— whether you had a right to unlock somebody else’s back-door, so that a possible thief could get in! But of course it wasn’t really a thief, if it was your aunt, and she would give it to you anyhow. But how could you know if the story was true? Well, you could go out, like the fellow said, and if he was a thief you could grab him. What decided Bunny was the voice, which he liked; even before he laid eyes on Paul Watkins’ face, Bunny felt the power in Paul Watkins’ character, he was attracted by something deep and stirring and powerful. Bunny slid off the window-sill, and walked over to Mrs. Groarty, who was wiping the perspiration from her forehead after a vicious tirade. “Please, ma’am,” he said, “would you be so good as to excuse me if I go into the kitchen and get a drink of water?” He thought that would cover the case, but he failed to allow for the fact that Mrs. Groarty was preparing for a career of ele- gance, and losing no chance of observing the ways of the wealthy, even to the drinking of a glass of water. Her heart warmed to the son of J. Arnold Ross, and all the vinegar went out of her voice. “Certainly, dear,” she said, and rose and led the way to the kitchen. violation of Sullivan’s injunction, Chicago union officials, enmeshed in the web of capitalist party ‘auake ee four own candt: polities, are trying to keep the labor movement quiet while they| « don’t ¢ 80,” said Vare. “We Uni R 4 maneuver with the so-called.“friends of labor” whose only interest | talked fit the governorship. |" “Then I want to know where you nite to Reorganiz ¥ . aigns.
