A ten per cent wage reduction in the large yarn mills of the Mc- Loughlin Textile Corporation of Utica, N. Y., was announced yester- day by John E. McLoughlin, presi- dent of the corporation. This has been done to insure more “remunera- tive proauciion,” he stated. The cut becomes effective Monday. The Fitchberg Mill and the Orswell Textile Mills, yarn manufacturers, both of Fitchberg. Mass., have posted notices that, beginning with January 30, their workers will be receive 10 per cent less pay than heretofore. A general wave of resentment bor- dering on a strike feeling is sweep- ing over the 100,000 or more workers, whose wages have been cut in the last two or three weeks. While the labor bureaucracy in control of the extile unions, embracing mainly the better paid workers, is doing its ut- most to stifle the strike sentiment, it is likely that a widespread strike jamong the workers may yet develop. ‘Liebknecht Memorial Plans Are Completed; | day, Feb. 8, at the Labor Temple Auditorium, 14th Street and 2nd Ave., at 8 p.m. Speakers will include W.

Baumes has introduced eight new measures in the legislature cull- ing for further expansion of the Baumes Law, which now makes it obligatory for judges to send al! fourth offenders to prison fer life. The new measures: would. deprive persons accused of certain felonies of the right to bail. Another would con- strue “jumping bail” as a felony. An- other would permit defendants to waive the right of trial by jury. Two bills limiting the use of firearms were attacked by N. H.

Says Governor’s Flood Brief Is Fallacious WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 27— General Edgar Jadwin, chief of the army engineers working on the Miss- issippi flood relief, was temporarily muzzled by Chairman Reid during the hearing before the House Flood Con- trol Committee after he declared that the brief filed by Governor Sampson of Kentucky is “fallacious.” When the general insisted upon pointing out the fallacies, he was al- lowed to take the stand but Reid asked whether Jadwin believed that the “chairman or any other member record or trying to suppress any- thing?” The general, probably mind- ful of the consequences of Rear Ad- miral Plunkett’s indiscretions, decided to “think it over” and left the hear- ing since he was not permitted to continue his testimony unless the question was answered.
