CERTAIN TO PASS
Members of Congress Differ
However, as to Length of
Debate in Senate.
—
Boston. June 12.—“I an' opposed
to the Root amendment of the
Canadian reciprocity treaty, but I
am obliged to admit that its adop
tion is not a violation of the
agreement made with Canada. My
views on the subject are contained
in my speech at Chicago on
June 3.”
That is what President Taft
telegraphed the Boston Chamber of
•Commerce today, after he had read
a telegram sent him by that body,
saying;
“Considerable vagueness here in
reference to your attitude regard
ing the Root amendment. We
wish you would send the chamber
an explicit statement of you po
sition in order that we may sup
port you.
“Are you opposed to the Root
amendment?”
Washington, June 12.—"It Is my per
runal opinion that we will have a vot
on the reciprocity bill July IB or IT,
said Senator Smoot, of Utah, after i
talk with President Taft at the Whit
House today. “The bill will pass an.
rongress will adjourn with all buslnes
out of the way, I believe about July 21
Mr. Smoot said the Root amendmen
to the reciprocity bill would not invaii
date the. agreement. He declared on th.
>ther hand that the amendment: woulf
perfect the pact, and that with th.
•mendment attached the bill befnr
.-ongress was in every detail like th
bill before the Canadian parliament.
"The Root amendment," said th
Senator, “may not pass. The vote wii
ae close.”
Other callers at the White Hoes
Slffored from Mr. Smoot as to the tim
of adjournment.
"If you ask me that question," sab
Senator Cullom, "X would tell you t
ask an elevator man in the capitol."
"Tho reciprocity debate in the Sen

Massachusetts, “will be over in thret
weeks or: not until October.”

Washington, June ID.—Representa
tive Warhurton. of Washington, a new
ly elected, republican insurgent, eliargec
congress yesterday with letting mil
lions of dollars go to waste that i
might collect in internal revenue taxe,
on tobacco. He attacked'the pendin',
wool tariff revision of the democrats
saying their plea of needing revenui
was not a serious argument for keep
ing duties on woolen goods.
Mr. Warburton said the democrat;
had been afraid to reduce the dutle.
an wool any further for fear of tho con
sequences at the next election if tin
wool industry was prostrated by tin
removal of protection. He said tin
democrats had been compelled to udop
the republican doctrine of proteetioi
and excused themselves on the grounc
of needing revenue.
"And, in the meantime," lie said "tin
American people are paying six; time,
as much tax to the government oi
sugar as they are on B-cent cigars
twelve times as much on sugar as oi
10-eent cigars; thirty times as rnucl

The stakes are a great area qf Cali

granted to the. railroad with a clause
'n the grant expressly excepting ali

(onvinced that President Taft’s recent
iperch in Chicago for reciprocity made
'tsclf felt in the Ninth Iowa district

BRADSTREET AND DON
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Colorless Statement Given
Out as to General Con
dition of Trade.
New Tork. June 12.—Bradstrects
Saturday said:
Trade, crop and industrial conditions
tro of a variable character, with the
sreneral appearance of quiet, though the
svidences of good feeling hitherto noted
ire to be met. Jobbing trade is of a
Detween-season character and sales of
spring and summer fabrics furnish the
ahicf occupation. As to tariff matters,
the belief is growing that radical legis
lation is not likely.
Short time is still the leading feature
in the textile trades. Leather is quiet
after the spell of buying induced by the
recent advance in prices. Shoe manu
facturing is not active except fo:
specialties. The building trades and
material lines catering thereto ars
quiet.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending June 8 were 232.
Business failures in Canada for ths
week number 23.
Dun’s review today says:
Such change as has taken place tn
business is for the better. Advance
in confidence Is slow and the growth is
acutely slower, but both are advancing
and growing. The improvement In de
mand following the recent cut tn steei
prices is not general. The activity 1«
bare of response to larger buying bj
agricultural implement makers and
railroad orders are coming in freely. In
pig iron it is estimated that production
is now close to consumptive require
ments.
Several additional furnaces were
blown out last month. Current demand
reflects scant improvement, as the ex
isting weakness in prices encouraged
buyers to hope for further concessions
A development of considerable interesl
was the advance in pig tin at London
to the ’highest level on record, without
sign of price weakness. The cotton
goods markets are quieter, with job
bers still disinclined to anticipate it
any active way.

UNION WOMEN URGED
TO MARRY UNION MEN
Mrs. Raymond Robins Says No
Girl Can Live on Less Than
$12 a Week.
Boston, June 30—"No working worn -
an can possibly live in simple comfort
on less than $12 a week,” declared Mrs,
Raymond Robins, of Chicago, today.
Mrs. Robins is in Boston to attend the,
national conference of women’s trade
union leagues, of which she is presi
dent.
’If her wages fall below that amount
pile merely exists," Mrs. Robins con-'
tinued. ‘‘She is obliged to deny her-,
self proper food and suitable clothing.
Until such time as votes for women
prevail the women wage workers must
join a union and go on a strike, if nec
essary. for the protection denied them
under man-made laws."
On the question of marriage Mrs]
Robins said:
"A trade union girl might perhaps
become the wife of a passive non-un
ionist, and still be happy, but under no
circumstances should she marry a pro
nounced anti-trade unionist, regardless
nf his wealth and social standing.”
WILSON REFUSES TO
SIGN A LIQUOR RILL
—
Measure Would Punish Minors
for Saying They Are of Age
to Obtain Drinks.
Trenton, N. J„ June 10.—A largo
Jelegation from the Burlington County
Liquor Dealers' association called at
the state house to urge Governor Wil
son to sign the bill making It a mlsde-,
ineanor for a minor to misrepresent his
age in order to obtain ltquor.
Those at the hearing included Na-,
than C. Smith, of Burlington, president
of the association; F. J. Cutter, Bur
lington, secretary: Richard Lamb,
Mount Holly, treasurer; Edward M.'
Reading, Florence, and the following
from Burlington; Gilbert Irons, John
S. Conway, David Atkinson, James
Brennan and Paul Flood and James M.
Davis. Davis acted as counsel and
spokesman.
The liquor men set forth that they
should be protected from prosecution,
if a minor swore he was of age. The
governor said at the conclusion of the
hearing that he eould not sign tho
hill on the ground that it contained a
provision that impaired its merit. The
temperance element, which has op
posed the measure, held that the bill
would make it extremely difficult to
obtain convictions against dealers who
sold to minors.
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, during
his recent visit to Washington, was

Eoot Amendment, Modifying
the Paper Clauses, Is Put
in Measure.

by tho Senate finance committee and
will bo reported Tuesday without rec
ommendation. The Root amendment
to the print paper and wood pulp

An attempt to authorize an unfavor
able report resulted in a tie vote and
another marked the effort to report
without recommendation before that
result was accomplished.
The votes on the measure were a
surprise to members of the Senate. It
had been generally believed that tho
finance committee would shift respon
sibility to the Senate, leaving the real
fight to bo waged on the floor. At the
last moment the opposition In the com.
mlttee seemed to solidify.
Nelson Amendments Beaten.
The committee met In executive ses
sion today and Immediately proceeded
to vote on amendments. The first;
modification offered was by Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota, which would
have reduced. Instead of removing,
duties on live stock and farm prod
ucts. It was defeated without a roll
call, and the same fato was meted out
to the House free list bill. The latter
provision was formally offered by Sen
ator Halley and received only Ills vote
and those of Mr. Simmons and Mr.
Kern. Ail amendment by Simmons to
include flour and meats In the free list
also was voted down.
The Root amendment requiring th#
pdmision of American wood pulp and
jiaper Into Canada free of duty, then
pas voted Into the bill without discus
sion. The vote was as follows:
