POR COTTON IS
P BIGGEST EVER
PMANCHESTER, Jan. 6—The world is
crying out for cotton goods—it wants
to be clothed —and all Lancashire is try
ing to stop the cry—at a very comfor
table profit.
Not only the world’s chest of drawers
but Its back is here. In Africa, China,
India, Australia, South America and cen
tral Europe especially there is a great
dearth of cotton goods. After five years
of short supplies they are demanding
goods with unexampled urgency. They
are willing to pay from three to four
times as much as they did five years
ago, and the quantltiy they are prepared
to take at such prices has no limit,
manufacturers here say.
Never In England’s Industrial history
hag there been such a cotton boom as
Lancashire is experiencing today. . To ho
blunt, Lancashire is. in a position to
squeeze humanity and the opportunity
Is not. being neglected. *
Statistics show that Lancashire owns
and operates more than one-third of the
whple of the cotton yarn producing rna
war she actually bad too many spindles,
having in a fit of optimism added 12,-
000,000 to her equipment in the previous
ten years. But today every spindle of
her 57,000,000 is working at high pres
sure.
Although the cost of raw cotton Is
high, and there is a prcrpect of the
best grades running short, no anxiety
as to general supplies is felt in Man
chester. Nor is there any sprious thought
of foreign competition, especially by
America and Japan, for these two com
petitors have almost inexhaustible mar
kets close at hand. France, Belgium,
Germany and Austria have suffered such
deterioration or destruction of weaving
machinery In the .past five years that
they are put out of the running for sup
plying the world’s need, immediately
pressing, for some time.
Thus the Manchester cotton weaving
kings already have scored four points—
prodigious demand, effective control of
supply, no undue foreign competition and
sufficiency of raw material. The lt\bor
factor, the final one, is not so roseate.
The workers steadily are demanding more
pay.
A spinner's net earnings now run
from seven pounds ten shillings to nine
pounds ($37.10) a week. Most of the
workers are now employed under an
agreement, which expires in April, 1020,

and operators are prepared to be shocked
by a demand for 100 per cent wage in
crease. Others fear the workers mar
throw over the present agreement at any
time. The workers nre dissatisfied be
cause when they signed their present
contract the present boom had not got
ten under way. The operators may at
tempt to forestall trouble by voluntarily
boosting wages all around on Jan. 1.
The hours of wbrk were reduced last
July to forty-eight per wgpk, and since
production is determined mainly by the
machine hours worked, output fell off
one-seventh. v The operators want to
prevent any further decrease in hours of
work, for they say they can only increase
production by adding more spindles and
equipping anew mill can be done at
only four times the 1914 cost.
But at present the manufacturers are
piling up mountainous profits. The value
of Lancashire cotton output b§£ore the
war was 120,000,000 pounds: now It Is
estimated at nearly 680,000,000 pounds,
nearly $3,000,000,000.
WELL, YOU CAN’T
PAY YOUR TAXES
(Continued From Page One.)
completion of the tax duplicate and the
proper payments to the treasurer there
will be the "juiciest" lot of delinquencies
to be collected that ever a treasurer of
Marion county collected. Lemcke will
be the collector and for every delin
quency that he collects he will get a per
centage, plus such fees as he is able to
add to the taxpayers' bill. Experience
has shown that these fees will reach a
very substantial total. Lemcke stands
to make some real money out of the office
the first year he occupies It.
To the taxpayer the situation Is just
this.
He can not pay his taxes now, when
the law says he should be able to pay
them.
He can not learn when he will be per
mitted to pay them, for that depends
on the action of the courts.
He will he compelled to fight with bis
neighbor for the privilege of paying hi?
taxes in event the court permits pay
ments a limited time before the last day
fixed by law for such payments.
He must pay the taxes the treasurer
will not now accept before the first Mon
day In May or pay additional taxes in
the form of delinquent penalties.
He may spend the interval in which
he waits for a chance to get rid cf
money in the pleasant, if unprofitable
pastime of considering how much better
is the government since James P. Good
rich and his republican supporters “cen
tralized" authority and assumed the re
sponsibility for everything.

LACK OFSHIPS
HALTSIMPORTS
South American Meats Not
Coming Because of No
Vessels.
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 6—ls the Ameri
can meat consumer, worrying over his
mounting Jiutcher bills, reads of tbo
enormous gains In the South American
cattle industry’, and then demands why
South American .meat is not sent to
North America to lower the' price at
home, he need take his quest no far
ther than those who control American
ship construction.
This is the opinion of leading Ameri
can meat men In Buenos Aires. While
none will venture the assertion that Ar
gentine meat placed on the American
market would lower American meat
prices they do declare that there are
thousands of tons of South Amerlcun
meat that would be available for North
American consumption if only refrigera
tor ships were to be had.
In connection with this great “if” the
head of the South American branch of
one of the greatest packing houses In
the United States frankly told the United
Press that he knows of no refrigerator
ship plying between the United States
and South American ports. And, ho
added, Great Britain, as a matter of fact,
is constructing refrigerator vessels as
rapidly as she Is able to do so.
Given an adequate number of refrige
rator ships, South American meat pro
ducers declare they can deliver meat at
any point in the world, the United States
not excluded, at a price that would leave
no fear of local competition. However,
questioned as to the feasibility of com
peting with American meat production
in the United States, no claims were
made that Argentine meat could be “laid
down" at American ports cheaper than
American meat could be delivered, hut
It was stated that Argentine, Uruguayan
and Brazilian meat could be delivered
Just as cheaply as tbe home product.
The long haul from South to North
America, the greatest single cost factor
in the exportation of meat from the
southern to the northern continent is
somewhat offset by the lower cost of
labor and production in South America
Ju the three great cattle countries —Ar.
gentlna, Uruguay and Brazil—the cattle
are outdoors twelve months In the year,
and for ten months feed on green grass.
Head for head, the United States pro
duces no better grade of beef.
South American packers, as every one
else who has something to sell, are look
ing for the best market. But they can
not got their products to any market,
Uo matter how good, unless there 5s
some way of carrying them.
Os course, It is obvious the produc
tion of hide>s moves at a pace no greater
than that of meat production. If the
United States WRnts Argentine meat suf.
flclently to provide means for transport
ing it they can get it, but South Ameri
can meat producers will not commit
themselves to the expression of an opin
ion that the price of meat or leather
In the United States will drop If large
quantities of Argentine beef and hide*
are placed on the American market.

without constipation or
stomach trouble.
“I had catarrh of the stomach and

els move regularly. T bare now taken
ten bottles and have gained 10Vi pounds.
All my friends remark how fine I an*
looking, and It seems a pleasure to live
again, without stomach trouble.”—Bert
Becker, Miami, Obio.
