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.

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.

tion by another woman passenger on
the steamer that her diamond ring,
which she had left in the lavatory, was
missing. Despite their protests, the
young women were searched. The ring
was not found. The local newspapers
printed disagreeable stories about
them.

CHICAGO. Dee. 12. The resignations
of five members of the School Board,
all of whom are said to hsve voted
against the re-election of Mrs. Klla
Flagg Young as superintendent, were
accepted tonight by Mayor Harrison,
to take effect at once. They are John
C. Harding. Charles O. Sethness, Harry
A. Llpaky, James B. Dlbetka and Henry
W. Huttman. The resignations have
been held by the Mayor since the ap
pointment of the- Board.
In accepting these resignations Mayor
Harrison stated plainly that be would
remove other opponents of Mrs. Young
if he had the power.
Plan May Be Agreeable.
Mrs. Young intimated that she would
consent to return as riuperintendent of
Schools If John D. Shoop, the newly
elected Superintendent, should resign
and if she could be assured of the sup
port of the entire Board. I should
never consent to return without the
complete co-operation of the entire
Board," she said. "If Mayor Harrison
could overcome what seems to be Im
possible and adjust matters so there
would be harmony on the Board. I feel
that I could accept my former po
sition.
Harding. Sethness and. Dlbetka, con
sidered the Mayor's personal ap
pointees on the Board, received sharp
letters from the Mayor criticising their
votes.
Mayor Slakes StatemraC
"The re-election of Mrs. Young was
made by me an administration measure
six months ago," the Mayor wrote, "and
all my friends were so notified. The
failure of frtendn. personal and politi
cal, on whom I had counted without
the slightest suspicion thst my wishes
would fail to be heeded to give my
wishes' support has placed me in an em
barrassing position which requires
drastic action to show the public at
least that I waa not a partner In the
secret method adopted to obtain Mrs.
Young's removal."
Plans were developed today for a
mass meeting of women's clvio clubs
tomorrow to protest the action depriv
ing Mrs. Young of her office. Among
those to speak are Miss Jane Addama,
Miss Margaret Raley, president of the
Chicago Teachers' Federation; Jenkln
Lloyd Jones and others.

A reproduction of a clipping telling
of the alleged contract was shown by
Government counsel. The dividend no-
tire to which It was attached said:
'We are reproducing extracts from
newspaper, which will show the steady
advance being made by the company."
Oarby, first of the defendants to take
the stand, said he approved the form

tainly was a matter of interest to the
stockholders what the newspapers
said." he testified.
"Was the British government on Au

the ships of Its navy with wireless
telephone?"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. Deposits of
radium-bearing minerals in the I'nited

In" this time only one American
company was ena-aged In making ra

Occasional shells fell In the heart of
the City of Tsmpico today and bullets
