AMERICAN TEXTILE TRADE
WARNING AGAINST TARIFF REDUCTIONS
(Received March 23, 10 p.m.)
NEW YORK, March 22,
A message from Springfield (Massachusetts) states that Mr A. H. Pendleton, president of the American Woollen Company, has sent a letter to the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Committee at Washington warning it that a reduction in the tariff on wool textiles could be met only by a drastic reduction in the present wage scale of textile workers. He stated that reductions granted to Britain would be automatically granted to the whole of the nations on the most favoured list, and that the wages paid abroad were below those paid in America by between 66 and 96 per cent.
