Conditions Nearly Identicel. Secretary Wilson argues that cost of production in the United States and Canada is more mearly identical than it is between the United States and any othet country, that the same difficulties with regard to farm labor exist on both sides of the international line, and that American farming methods are virtu- ully the same. Towns Demanded Lower Ta “Our town population mueh faster than our country populn- tion,” writes Secretary Wilson. “Prices for ‘the necessities of life have been and wages, stipends and salaries have not kept pace with the increas: in the price of food. There was a de- mand for lower tariffs during the last election by the population of the towns. interest carried the ¢lection by default. The farmer either sympathized with the town dweller or he stayed at home on election day and husked corn. congress was elected along low- er tariff lines, if it had any instructions from the people. The republican party Is a protectionist party; the democratic party wants revenus tariffs. How Far Some Would Go. “There 1s quite an element in the y that belleves in pro- s has been, ®nd that may be the reason why thai party favors this reciprocity. element in the democratic party may be willing to g0 as far as this reci- procity treaty goes in letting the nat- wral products of Canada into the Unit- ed States, and that may pe us 1ar us a great many people in congress and out of it think necessary to go in mod- ification of our statutes regarding im- portations from foreign countries. We Get Something in Return. “Thie treaty is not one-sided, giving our markets for meats and grains to the Canadians with nothing in return. We get in the Canadian woods, ninety millions or more of us, for timber products, things very much needed, as our home supplies are so much reduced that prices have gone up markedly in the last few years. Farm and Manufacturing Intereste. It is eald that a tariff bill or reci- procity treaty or.any movement tow- and modification of our trade relations with foreign countries should consider the manufactures from the same time it considers agricultural products and that justice requires the lowering of the duties on manufactured products simultaneously with the lowering of the duties on products of the farm, but whether we shall make any of them free, and the extent to which the duty on manufactured products could be re- duced with safety, depends entirely up- on whether the reduction of the duty manufactured goods would let in foreign goods to such an extent as to interfere with the wages of our working people. Reduce Price of Bread and Meats Here ‘Wilson concludes that it States handles Canada’s American _transporta- tion facilities will tend to reduce the price of bread to the American con- He suggests that the Canadi- ans aiso will be able to furnish_cattle feeders for the corn belt of the United States and that meats will be reduced in price by the activities of the Amer- ican rancher and homesteader. “These considerations lead me to the conclusion that the adoption of the pending reciprocity treaty would, from the national standpoint, be as much an act of wisdom as was the adoption of treaties in the past that have added to our common country more than half its present area.” committee reports ready for consider- ation_and these, being of minor im- portalice, on the whole, attracted no more than passing attention from the London.

Washington, Feb. 9.—The democrats in the house, ‘aided by a few republi- cans whe declined to be bound by the party caucus, won their fight today for an_increased representation in the lower branch of congress under the census of 1910.

Struggle Lasted Fibe Hours. The house spent more than fiv2 hours in discussing and voting upon the bill and varfous proposed amendments. An amendment offered by Representative Bennett of New York, and designed to cut down southern representatives, was voted down by 154 to 96. Representa- tive Crumpacker of Indiana, chairman of the committeo on the cemsus and author of a number of bills to reduce the representation from states in the south, voted against the Bennatt amendment and it was. applauded by the democrats. One Amendment Lost by Democrats. The democrats lost but one amend- ment during the entire fight. A com- mittee amendment to the bill providing that states should be redistricted by the legislatures was voted down on an appeal by the republicans in the Mis- souri delegation. They said the states should be permitted to redistrict them- selves in their own way. The advocatas of a membership of 391 fought for their cause:up to the very last minute. Just before the final vote was taken Representative Camp- bell of Kansas moved the recommit- ment of the 433 bill with. instructions to the committee of the whole house to report a substitute providing for 391 members. This motion was lost by a vote of 131 to 171. This reflected the sentiment of the members so decisive- 1y that the vote by which the bill was passed was decided in the affirmative without a division or a rollcall. PRESENTED GRIEVANCES OF RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS Conference with ~ Department—Em- ployes Object to “Taking up the Slack.” Washington, Feb, 3.—Grievances of raflway postal clerks formed the prini- cipal fopic of a conference today be- tween officers of the postoffice depart- ment and the executive committee of the Railway Mail association. Tt appeared from the conference that the chief grievance of the railway clerks is the general determination the department to “take up the slac in the time of the employes—that is, as far as possible, to obtain from the men uniform hours of service, not generally to exceed six and one-half hours a day in the case of those who work six days in a week. Prior to the “taking up of the slack,” some of the men worked little more than five hours a day, and a few less than five hours. The execu- tive committee, generally, was favor- able to a return-to the old system, which, it was argued, was satisfac- tory. The committee was assured that the department officlals were endeavoring to remove the cause of every proper complaint of the clerks and that it was trying to do equal justice to all. Members of the committee expressed [ themselves at the conclusion of the conference as well pleased with the situation as it was presented to them, and said they would so report to the membership. MEN DISCHARGED CONTRARY TO AGREEMENT. Big Four Has Discriminated Against Union Men, They Claim. Cincinnati, Feb. 9.—Alleging that various employes have been discharged for smail reasons, contrary to the agreement under which they work, representatives of various trainmen's organizations and the railroad telegra phers today sent a telegram to Pres dent W. C. Brown of the New York Central ‘lines demanding that a date be fixed for a conference with officials of the Big Four railway who are sald to have exercised discrimination agalnst union men. Failing to get an early eonference, the union ledders assert that they will issue a_call for a general strike vote on all New York Central lines west of Buffalo. TWO MORE ON AVIATORS’ DEATH ROLL.

Senate Committee Reports Favorably on the Amendment. gt ‘Washington, Feb. 9.—Magazine pub- lishers will have to pax a rate of four cents a_pound on the advertising sec- tions of periodicals carried as second class mail if an amendment to the postoffice. appropriation bill adopted by the senate dommitiec on postofiices and postroads today is accepted by both branches of congress. Senator Penrose late in the day reported the bill to the senate. The action of the commitiee wis not accomplished without a. spirited con- test, although the amendment adoptad by a vote of 8 to 2. The sen- ators who voted against the increase to popular magazines were Messrs. Owen of Oklahoma and Bourne of Oregon. M. Owen based his opposition on the ground that this tax upon popular reading should not be levied by con- gress, while Mr. Bourne contended that the action was a discrimination in fa- vor of newspapers and that they should be taxed likewise. The increase in the rate for carrying i advertising sections of magazines will apply’ only to the large publica- tions, for an exemption is provided for such periodicals of less than 4,000 pounds’ weight per issue. The p ilege of carrying advertising matter will be granted by the amendment to fraternal, patriotic, scientific and edu- cational publications, which privilese heretofore has been denied to such publications when entered as second class matter. The theory of the sup- porters of this proposed legislation that this exemption, with that of da newspapers, will create sentiment throughout the country in favor of the provision.
