8 COTTON MEN WANT HIGHER PROTECTIVE I THRIFT AFTER Will Anti-Dumping Legislation Not Sufficient to Protect Them, They Declare at Closing: Session of Convention _ Demand for a high protective tariff on dyestuffs and manufactured cotton .goods was the keynote of the closing session of the twentieth annual conven tion of the American Cotton Manufactur ers* association in the Piedmont hotel Wednesday. and In addition to voicing this demand the association denounced the Keating-Owens child labor bill, which har passed the national house an«i is pending now in the senate, and passed •a resolution urging congress to defeat the Philippine Independence bill. The tariff and legislation committee of .tije association. through R M. Miller. Jr., 'its chairman, went at length into the tar ♦ff question in its report .and afte-- the adoption of the report several features of it were reiterated by the adoption of special resolutions. ’ In brief, the committee declared that ; the present tariff, passed at the outset of the Wilson administration, has al ready demonstrated its '•inefficiency as | an income-producing measure. and demonstrated that its schedules are un reasonably and ruinously low;" that when the European war is over Ameri ca will be made the dumping ground for European industries in all lines, that anti-dumping legislation will not be adequate to protect American cotton manufacturers against ruthless Euro pean competition; that the only sure and safe protection lies in high tariff schedules. This report was received with en thusiasm and applause, as were also the portions of the report denouncing the Keating-Owens child labo.- bill and the Philippine independence bill. CHILD LABOR BILL. In reference to the Keating-Owens entld labor bill, the report declared that its provisions are vicious, its insti gators were hired agitators, its sup porters are congressmen and senators who refuse to inspect conditions in cot tbn mills. ’ Another matter of national legislation touched on by the association was the • enactment of legislation authorizing ( American manufacturers and exporters ; 1O combine for the furtherance of for eign trade. A resolution was adopted ( urging congress to pass such a bill. Touching on the tariff commission as 1 proposed by President Wilson —which is , a tariff measure that the association has i aynsistently advocated—the committee j on tariff and legislation urged the as- « st elation not to place too great depend- : ehce in such a commission, but to tear < bi mind that its powers can only be ad visory and that the final enactment of i tariff schedules rests exclusively in con- . gress. • Taken all in all. it was not a rosy 1 view of the business outlook as voiced 4 by the various committees and speak- ’ ers. and expressed in the various reso lations. The keynote of the meeting ’ was. first, that unless the cotton tex- ’ tile industry is protected by a high tariff. European manufacturers will ab solutely ruin it after the war; and, 1 second. that cotton manufacturers 1 should not be deceived by the present wave of prosperity, which is admitted- ’ ly general, but should keep an eye al- 1 ways on the future, and prepare for what js coming. The latter note was especially emphasized by John A. Law. the new president, in his speech of ac- ■ ceptance. The association elected John A. Law, of'Spartanburg, s. C.. as president to This Wife and Mother Wishes To Tell You FREE How She Stopped Her Husband s Drinking By all Mean* Write to Her and Learn how She did it. For over 20 years Jas.

The tody lay at the head of the stairs, where Donley had for hours kept the be siegers at bay. The townspeople, who had been ter ror-strickin for more than twelve hours while the battle went on, flocked to the Donley house today to view’ the scene. Donley’s friends believe he w’as driven to temporary insanity by his recent ar rest for shooting ducks out of season and the imposition ot a fine of. 3600 which he could not pay. He accused two of his neighbors of n.aking the complaint against him and, opening fire on them with a shotgun, wounded both. A third who intervened also was wounded.

Awful Suffering Os Shackelton Party Revealed (By Associated Press. ■ LONDON, April 4.—The account of the voyage of the Shackelton Antartic auxil iary steamer, Aurora, published here to day reveals the sufferings of the party on board from cold, hunger and lack of water and coal. The pressure of the ice pack on the vessels during the period of months was so severe that many times the party was on the point of abandoning the ship and taking to their sledges. As to the loss of the rudder the account says: “Heavy floe®, ten feet thick, closed 'r. on us, nipping the vessel fore and aft. The force must have been tremendous, for the steel bound rudder weighing six tons was bent over to starboard and twisted like a corkscrew.” On one occasion J. R. Stenhouse first officer of the Aurora, wrote In his diary: “I am afraid the ship’s back will break if the pressure continues. We have poured a carboy of sulphuric acid on the ice astern in the hopes of rotting the ice relieving the pressure on the stern post.’’ During May of list year there was a long spell of fine weather. On moon light nights the crew palyed foot ball on the ice. As the ship drifted farther northward the ice conditions grew better, although the weather was punctuated by fright ful Antartic blizzards. The food supply grew lower and low er but occasional chances offered for th® killing of seals and penguins, which made welcome additons to the food stores. At times the food was so short that only two meals wore served daily. The Truth About Cancer.
