na VOLUME 12, NO. 40. CHANGES IN TARIFF LAW AGAIN UPHELD Pottery Industry Shows That Reduc- tions Do Not Cause Business De- struction as Congress Was Told. SEBRING TAKEN AS EXAMPLE Output of Last Few Weeks Breaks All Records—Calamity Argument to Have Little Weight in Future. Py Congressman C. H. Tavenner. Washington, June 12.—The irick of the highly iries gaining additipnal ing in Washington and pleading the destruction of their businesses if du- ties were reduced has been most thoroughly exposed by the operation of the Underwood tariff bill, the first entirely honest tariff enacted since the Civil war. It took an immense amount of moral courage to expose the trick, to reduce. duties in the face of these sworn predicitions of the ruin to follow. But the old superstition of high tariff prosperity has been ex- ploded by the new law. The predict- ed ruin has failed to come. And even some of the standpat Republican senators, who honestly believed the arguments of the protected interests and fought for them in the tariff debate, are now becoming highly in- dignant and are charging that they were deliberately misled by the manufacturers. Take the pottery industry in Ohio, for instance. Its complaints against the proposed tariff last year were perhaps the loudest of any. In fact, such general ruin was predicted that the potters threatened to close their factories or to reduce the wages be- fore the tariff law was enacted. There was almost a panic among the .pottery laborers. Tremendous pressure by the potters’ unions was placed upon congress not to reduce the pottery duties. The situation be- came so grave that Representative J. J. Whitacre, who represents the Ohio pottery district. went to See- retary Redfield and induced the lat- ter to inaugurate his famous policy of sending federal investigators toj| those industries threatening to re-f duce wages on account of tariff re-| duction. The pottery industry was| the first to be investigated. 1 In spite of this campaign on the part of the pottery magnates, in spite of the anguish and anxiety in the; little mill homes in the East LiverAI pool, Ohio, pottery district, the Ways | and Means committee courageously reduced the duties on ceramic pro- uld} protected indus-| protection | { at every tariff revision by appear- |} Wife of Philadelphia’s Mayor Existing Denounces Styles. MODERN STYLES DENOUNCED Federation of Women’s Clubs Con- demns the Slit Skirt. = Chicago, June 12.—When represen- tatives of 400,000 women condemn the existing styles—well, the slit skirt is on wobbly legs and about to go. This was the comment of a leading Chicago designer upon the action of the bureau of information of - the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in adopting sweeping resolutions con- demning the; slit sk}rt the tight gown and other items on the 1914 fashion card. The resolutions are to go to the resolutions committee and then to the convention itself. Mrs. C. L. Atwood of -St. Cloud, Minn.,, president of the Minnesota federation, led the discussion. ! Mrs. R. J.. Burdette of Pasadena, Cal., and. Mrs. Blankenburg, wife of the mayor of Philadelphia, are other prominent women who took part in the denunciation of modern styles.

The love of home and the ‘love of’ country are among the strongest emotions which acute men. The flag is the symbol of the patri- ctic regard for the country which it represents. “We of America have built and are building the greatest country the ‘world has ever known. It is great not only in territory and in resour- ces, but aboye all, it is great in its| ideals of living, its tolerations, its opportunities, its purposes' and its aspirations. It is the meltlng pot of the world,-a country conceived in the idea of political and personal liberty and destined to carry., that ideal so long as providence shall see in it a fitting instrumenml'ity for | its purpose. The.stars’ and stripes is the emblem of all that we, as nor be generally observed in The procla- Americans, feel”that our ‘country is and should be. i “Tt is fitting and proper, therefore, that the ‘people of the- state pause’ for a-moment in contemplatlon of our national colors and renew alle- | giance to the flag we love so much. I therefore proclaim Sunday, June 14, 1914, as Flag Day, and urge that' the day. be observed by all American citizens. I further suggest that patriotic exercises be held in schools and that the homes'and public build- ings be decorated with Amlérican| colors.” WORKING ON INTERIOR Contractor ‘Rushing Work on Mark- ham Annex to Completion.
