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.

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.
