What Democrats Want.
When’the majority members of the
committee complete their bill they will
submit It to the democratic members.
The latter will offer the house a minority
report, unleu th« bill reported by the re
publicans provides for the reductions that
the democrat# favor. The main dlffer-
encee of opinion probably will be on the
lumber, metal and pulp and paper sched
ules. Champ Clark, the minority leadsr
of the house, has brought out much Im
portant tcMtlmony In hla examination
of the witnesses on the lumber and steel
schedules and he favors a material re
duction In the duties. Two hearings wara
held by the committee today.
At the afternoon hearing. Col. Joe w.
Allison, a cotton teed oil manufacturer
of Texas, asked for a reduc.tlon in tiis
duty on presser camel's hair cloth, the
f tresc-nt duty on which, he said. 1* prohln-
tlvs and permits u monopoly of the prod
uct. This cloth ii used in the crushing
of cotton see In the manufacture of oil.
John J. Carton, of Mint. Mich., repre
senting an automobile manufacturer,
asked for a reduction In the duty on
automobiles from 4S per cent to 20 per
cent. He «a!d another large manufac
turer desired the duty reduced to 20 per
cent It was brought out during ths
hearing that the Arm represented by Mr.
Carton has a factory In Canada and
would, therefore, derive a benefit from
the lower rats of duty.

Herman Ridden president of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers' Association,
discussed '’Trade Agreements of News
papers.''
James Duncan, first vice president of
the American Federation of Labor, pre
sented another phaso of the topic.
Trade Agreement Necessity.
Melville E. Ingalls, of the "Hlg Four”
railroad system, said the trade agree
ment plan was-not necessary for him or
for hla men when he undertook hi* first
railroad. Every man could see him If he
wanted to do so but eventually they came
to number 20.000, Mr. Ingalls added, and
then formal agreements became a neces
sity. Hut, Mr. Ingalls declared
that even these agreements did not meet
present requirements. "We are going to
take the trade of the world." he sold,
"and we must develop to the point of
profit-sharing. Only when employers and
employes are partner* will returns be
tween them be perfect"
A. n. Garreteon, president of the Order
of Rnilwnv Conductor*, followed with a
strong endorsement of the trade agree
ment.
August Belmont commended the princi
ple of trade agreement plan, but said
that law* would have to be passed giving
It the force of cox tract before public ser
vice transportation corporations could
adopt It
Samuel Gompors said It had pleased
him to hear .the numerous tributes to the
trade agreement He continued:
"I was amused when l heard gentle
man after gentleman making statements
from the platform which can be made the
subject of prosecution under the Sher
man anti-trust law. Indeed the exis
tence of the trado agreement to which
we all point with pride is tn Itself all the
evidence that is necessary*
"Surely It does not lie with me to even
criticize such men as the Justices of our
supreme court If their Interpretation cf
the Sherman anti-trust law Is correct.
That law made at the time for the people
tn protect them from greed and discrimi
nation of trusts, now applied to every as
sociation of working people, and to the
men themselves, not dealers tn anything,
not obtained from profit, but only to pro
tect the only thing of value *to them,
their power to labor.'*
The meetings of the Federation will
close tomorrow night with the annual
banquet when the officers for the ensu
ing year will be elected.

WANTED--AN EDITOR;
BY OIICLEJAN, TOO
JUST ONE MAN SHOWS UP FOR
PLACE ON EXPERIMENT STA
TION RECORD. *
NEW YORK. Dec. 14.—-Uncle Sam la
greatly worried over th* failure of th*
United States Civil Service Commission
to get an editor for him. The editorial
chair In th# sanctum or the Experiment
Station Record, a red hot monthly devo
ted to cattle society and oleomargarino
Tho examlntlon was held In tho Brook
lyn postoffico yesterday and Just ono ap
plicant showed up. Ho promised to
raise the standard of tho Record and to
swell the circulation hy making a cow-
to-cow canvass for new subscribers.
'•They looked me ovsr," said this edi
tor. ''and they decided to give the other
editors of the country a second chance
to try for the Job. The examination la
booked for Jan. 6 and 7. They refused
to believe that there waa only one «lltor
who wanted to work for the government.
"It was real funny when I got to the
postoffice. I was escorted to one of the
rooms by three or four attendants. Half
a dozen more men spont fifteen or twen
ty minutes slipping bars and bolts and
raising windows. Another bunch rush
ed at me with a stock of papers. Then
the whole mob got together and decided
tt wouldn’t pay to hold the exam for ono
candidate.”
"What do you suppose kept the other
editors away?" .
"I can’t figure that out. It's a fabul
ous amount of money for the modest re
quirements of the Job, and think of the
honor of slinging ink for the govern
ment. All It requires is a perfect knowl
edge of entomology, economic* zoology
and Veterinary sclent, together with a
working assortment of French. German.
Irish. Hindustani, African, English and
Italian.
"Of course you are expected to qualify
on the reading, writing and 'rithmetio
and letter writing. You've got to be *
ready letter writer to work for the gov
ernment these days. Animal husbandry
nnd dairy phMoeophy are s«mo of the
minor subjects included In the examina
tion.”
"Why are they holding It two days?”
"The first day Is for the examination
proper; the second day to give the can
didate a chance to regain conscious
ness.”
