TRADE TREATIES TO WAIT itrian Says Information Is Wanted First as to Preent Kevennes. WASHINGTON", Dec. 12. Secretary Bryan said today that no negotiations looking to reciprocity agreements with other countries would b entered into by the United States until sufficient time had elapsed to tell how the new tn riffs would act as revenue vrodueers. The law has been in effect only a little more than two months and Secretary McAdoo haa not yet made a report on the income to be derived from it. Some observers here have suggested that it it waa Impossible to negotiate a successful reciprocity agreement wi;h Canada in 1911 under a high tariff measure, it will be more difficult fur ther to reduce the lower rates of the Underwood act by special convention wttii other countries. It Is expected, however, that with the opening of the Panama Canal and the consequent shortening of trade routes t etwean the countries of the Western Hemisphere, some of the South Amer ican countries will desire to enter into reciprocal trade agreements with the United States.

EXTRA CONVENTION URGED f Continued From Flnrt Pare delegate representation In a National convention Is IOC. Mtdlog Scale Proposed. The first suggestion of the Congres sional committee, which would make the total delegate representation 1014, Ii as follows: "For each of such districts In w hich Lu a veto cut for tha Republican cauul- didate for Presidential electors in 1908 waa not more than 40 per cent of the total vote cast for Presidential electors In such district and in such election, one delegate; for each of such districts In which such Kepubllcan, vote was 40 per cent, but not more than SO per cent. two delegates; for each of, such districts in which such Kepubllcan vote was more than 60 per cent, three delegates, la any state where a reapportionment act has not been passed to provide the full number of Congressional districts, such state shall be entitled to delegates-at-large for each Representatlva- at-large In Congress at the above ratio, comparing the full representation of tha state with the total Republican vote In the state. In Arizona and New Mexico the apportionment shall be based on tha vote for delegates In Congress.- Soata la Reduced. On this basis representation from the Southern states would be diminished and in some of the states it would be Increased. For example. Alabama would be reduced from 24 to 15 dele gates, Arkansas from 1$ to 12. Georgia from 28 to 18, South Carolina from 18 to 11, and other Southern state, ac cordingly. New York would be In creased from SO to 102, Massachusetts from 36 to 44, Illinois from 58 to 61. Alternative reapportionment plans suggested are the following: "Four delegates-at-large for each state and. In addition thereto, on dele gate for each 10,000 votes or major fraction thereof cast for the Repub lican candidates for Presldental elec tors In 1908. "Spur delegates-at-large for each state and for each Congressional dis trict, one delegate for each 10.000 votes or major fraction thereof cast for the Republican candidates for Presidential electors In 1908. provided that each Congressional district shall have at least one delegate and there shall be two for each Congressman-at-large." The former plan would cut the total delegate rfv rcsenta tlon to $45 and the latter to 1016. Members of the com mittee who joined In support of the resolutions represented 20 states. LABORONLY'TOLERATED' (.UPPERS SAYS SHERMAN LAW HAMPER MOVE.MEST. Valoaa All Exlat oa Safferaace or rr Folltlcal Reaaea. Labor Leader Ueelarea. NEW YORK. Dec. 12. Labor organ izations are allowed to exist in the United States, yet the right of coali tion, union and free speech Is denied them under the Sherman anti-trust law, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, asserted today in an addreas at the 14th annual meeting of the National Civic Federa tion. Mr. Gompers cited a recent ease In which a labor body was dissolved by the courts and other cases In which individuals have been indicted because they struck lu sympathy with fellow workers. He said it was "a shame" to think that some of these miners could be Indicted under the Sherman law "because they sympathize with their fellow tradesmen." "Do you see the position in which our movement Is placed by this Sher man law?" he asked. "We can do nothing. "In the last five years 250.000 more persons became affiliated with the American Federation of Labor than in the previous five rears But for all that there Is not a labor organization in the United Statea that does not exist at the sufferance of our country or for political reasons. They exist by the permisxion of the Government. The right of coalition, of onion and of free speech, however, is denied them under the Sherman law. Their liberty has been assailed." John Hays Hammond urged that the regulation of corporations should be left to an Interstate Industrial com mission. A. B. Garretson. of the Or der of Railway Conductors, aald that agreements between organizations of workingmen and their employers fixing hours of labor, conditions and wages should not be construed as being In violation of the Sherman law.
