NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Change in Wool Schednle to be
Fought by Wool Manufac
turing Association
Washington. A virtually undisturb
ed tariff on the variety of articles In
the flax, hemp and Jute schedule was
Indicated at the tariff revision hearing
before the house ways and means com
mittee. No action will be taken until
the committee considers the schedule
In executive session next month, but
members have Indicated that they con
sidered niost of the duties as already
highly competitive.
The committee, which heard the
testimony of many manufacturers and
importers on the flax, hemp and Jute
schedule of the tariff, was not dispos
ed to question the competitive charac
ter and luxury classification of many
of the luces, embroideries and other
articles In the schedule. This Indi
cates that the committee favors re
tention of approximately the same
rates on many Items.
The schedule Is one of the most
profitable of the whole tariff scheme,
and produced last year more than $49,
000,000 of revenue, with duties averag
ing above 45 per cent ad valorem.
Some of these articles will be reduced
to stimulate competition and bring
revenue.
Wool Schedule Under Fire
The Wool schedule will be under
fire this week, and it Is expected that
the woolgrowcrs and wool manufactur
ing association will present an un
broken front In their fight against any
change In the present rates.
The expectation, however, Is that
the democratic majority both In the
committee and house In the next con
gress will favor the same revision as
Incorporated In the Underwood bill
that passed the house at the last ses
sion of congress.
Knox 8end England Note on Panama
. The next move In the dlplomatlo
skirmish between Great Britain and
the United States over the former na
tion's objection to the clause In the
Panama canul bill, which exempts
American shipping engaged In conBt
wIbs trade from the payment of tolls,
must come from England.
Until that time, state department of
ficials declared, they must refrain
from a discussion of Secretary Knox's
note to Secretary Grey to the effect
that there is no basis for the British
protest, ft was admitted, however,
that at least two or three additional
notes must be exchanged before a
basis for an understanding could be
reached. This makes It practically
certain that Woodrow Wilson will be
called upon to make final disposition
of the question, as It is considered im
possible that the Taft administration
can effect a settlement before March
fourth.
Monopoly In Money Denied.
Accepting as an "argument" a long
statement by Henry P. Davison, of
J. P. Morgan & Co., denying the exist
ence of a money trust and attributing
the co-operation among financial In
terests to the "weak banking law,"
the house money trust Investigating
committee closed for the time being
I La financial probe. The committee
will begin within a week consideration
of Its report, which will recommend
changes in the national bank law and
legal control of various financial agen
cies. Mr. Davison's statement was an
analytical argument based on the ta
bles and charts presented to the com
mittee purporting to show control of
125,000,000,000 of resources by ISO di
rectors. The statement denied this conclu
sion and set forth specifically that the
firm of Morgan & Oo. "believes there
Is no such thing, either In form or fact,
as a money trust"
National Capital Brevities.
President Taft refused to dismiss
the criminal anti-trust suit against the
so-oalled "bathtub trust"
Democratic managers In the senate
have agreed that no bill having any
reference to the Sherman anti-trust
law shall receive consideration during
the remainder of this session of oen
gress. Democratic senators In oaueua re
affirmed their determination to permit
none of President Taft'a nominations
to be confirmed at this time, with the
exception of army, navy and diplomat
ic appointments.
A dry Inauguration will mark Presi
dentelect Wilfton's Induction lnt of
fice If a petition presented la the sen
ate by Senator Galllnger, on behalf of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Is acted upon favorably by
congress. The petition urges closing
of all saloons In the national capital
on March 4.
Pleaso remember to post the dates

LABOR DIVIDED ON BILL
Oregon Federation Repudiates Meas
ure as Ambiguous
Salem. The State Federation of La
bor concluded Its anual session Sat
urday after a four days' discussion of
the problems before organised labor.
The matter which brought out the
liveliest discussion and produced tlx
widest divergence of opinion waa the
employes' compensation act, now be
fore the legislature. By a vote of 64
to 23 the convention repudiated the
bill, and by a vote of 43 to 28 passed a
resolution severely condemning Rep
resentative A. W. Lawrence, of Mult
nomah county, for Introducing the
measure before having oonsulted the
labor forces. This Is the bill which
was drawn by a composite oemmlttee
representing both employers and the
labor people.
The principal arguments used by the
opponents of the bill, aside from lu
doubtful constitutionality, are the
claims that some parts, partiOtttorly
section 15, are ambiguous, and that
room Is left for doubtful conetruettons
by the courts.
In lieu of the rejected bill, the fed
eration decided to frame 1U own meas
ure, and have It ready for lntroduotloa
at the next legislative session or lal
liate It at the general election la 1114.

TAFT DEFENDS HIS
POSITION ON CANAL
Baltimore. President Taft, speak
ing at the annual banquet of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers' association,
defended the administration's attitude
in the Panama canal disagreement
with England. He declared that Its
position was not unpatriotic or dis
honorable and asserted there was no
reason for anyone to oppose the pro
posal for arbitration by an Impartial
tribunal.
"Whether you call It a subsidy or
not, I am In favor of making the rates
between the coasts through the Pana
ma canal lower," he said. "Now the
question Is. can we do that under our
International obligations? I think we
can, and if you read the authorities I
think you'll find that we may. But If
we are bound not to exempt coastwise
vessels we can agree to submit the
question to an Impartial tribunal."
The president concluded his speech
with au appeal for constitutional gov
ernment, endangered In the last few
months, he said, by those who propos
ed remedies but who could not furnish
concrete examples of their proposed
reforms.

tude Toward Discovery
Berlin. That Dr. Frtedmann wants
$1,000,000 for the American rights to
his tuberculosis serum, Is the state
ment made here. German physicians
strongly condemn what they call his
"non ethical attitude." They go so far !
as to say that he Is more concerned
in the monetary aspect than the hu-1
manltarlan of his discovery.
Dr. Frledmann has so far failed to
carry out his promise of submitting a
culture to the government Ha has !
made various excuses for not doing ,
this, but he deules that mercenary mo- j
tlves govern his action. 1
