Dec. 22.—Factory employment decreased 1.9 per cent from October to November and pay rolls 2.5 per cent, the Labor Department reported today.

JIM WATSON FLATLY DENIES Dll PONT TIEUP Former Senator ‘Nettled’ by Reports ‘lnvolving’ Him in Tariff ‘Favors.’ By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Former Senator James E. Watson of Indiana told the Senate Munitions Committee yesterday he resented implications that he was “involved’ ’in a campaign in 1920 to seek congressional favors for the du Pont company's dye industry. His name was mentioned in earlier testimony relating to tariff legislation on dyes. “Nobody ever needed to urge me to be a protectionist,” he said, “but no member of the du Pont family ever spoke to me about the tariff question at any time.” Mr. Watson, a voluntary witness, told the committee he was "nettled” by newspaper reports linking his name to “lobbying” activities. “I was chairman of a sub-commit-tee which considered a tariff on dyes,” he said, “and after much discussion reported unanimously in favor of an embargo on dyes. “I was for the embargo ,uut I don't want to be put in a false light. There never was a cleaner, straighter fight on any tariff legislation.” Mr. Watson and Senator Bennett Champ Clark (D,, Mo.) almost turned the hearing into an open forum on the New Deal. “You’ve gone much further today than we ever did,” Mr. Watson said. “You’ve given the President power to impose embargoes on anything that interferes with NRA or any of those other alphabetical agencies.” “Not with my vote,” Senator Clark replied.

By Times Special GREENFIELD. Dec. 22.—The birthplace of James Whitcomb Riley, for many years the showplace of this city, moved nearer a position as a permanent public shrine as a result of one of the last acts of the ou.going City Council. The council adopted a resolution recommending that the historic home be turned over for promotion to a non-profit society composed of prominent local citizens. The site is now owned by the poet's heirs who have made no provision for its care and upkeep. A committee is now negotiating with them for its purchase on behalf of the society. Greenfield already has spent more than $60,000 in purchasing and developing Riley Memorial Park which surrounds the “Old swimmin' Hole,” famed in a Riley poem.
