THE GEORGIAN’S NEWS BRIEFS
NEWS OF THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913
SAYS TARIFF CONDITIONS
DRIVE PLANTS TO CANADA
BOSTON, July 17.—Governor Foss
of Massachusetts, who recently an- |
nounced that a corporation in which
he was interested would be moved to
Canada because of the Government’s
policy on reciprocity, has made pub
lic a second statement, giving a list
of corporations that moved across
the border because of tariff condi
tions. In part he says:
"The movement is going on quietly
Among the big corporations which
have built plants in Canada are the
General Electric Company, the West
lnghouse Company, the Oliver Chilled
Plow Company, the International
Harvester Company, the American
Locomotive Company, the American
Blower Company, the Buffalo Forge
Company and the Plymouth Cordage
Company.
"To complete the list would be im
possible, for in many instances the
establishments of these factories is
not announced and not made a mat
ter of official record. I find that up
to January 1, 1913, approximately 17P
American companies had established
themselves.
"The American Blower Company,
the principal comr>etitor of the B. F.
Sturtevant Company, built a great
plant at Windsor, Ont., two years ago.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield. until
his appointment to the Cabinet, was
vice president of the American
Blower Company.
"The recorded amounts of capital
invested in the American factories
across the border is $279,000,000.
“In it \ny instances the plants
which our manufacturers are estab
lishing in Canada are directly owned
and financed by the parent concern in
this country, and in some instances
even the pay roll is met by weekly
shipments of funds from the American
parent concern to its branches in Can
ada.
"I believe it conservative to say
that $500,000,000 has been i»oured
into Canada for tho upbuilding of
plants owned in the United States.
The development of Canada in the
next 25 years will be greater than
that of the United States.
"The trouble with Republicans is
that they are too selfish. The Demo
crats are going to the other extreme.
The Democrats are giving away our
markets and getting nothing in re
turn.
"I have received many letters from
business men commending me for my
frankness, and I believe that my ex
ample in going to Canada will be fol
lowed by many others unless the pol
iticians get busy before it is too late.”

AMBASSADOR WHO IS
CALLED FROM MEXICO
GREECE ASKS THE POWERS
TO PENALIZE BULGARIA
HENRY LANE WILSON.
U. S. TO REMOVE WILSON
FROM POST IN MEXICO
WASHINGTON, July 17.—That
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, now
on his way from Mexico City to
Washington, never will return t<*
Mexico as the representative of the
United States, was stated authorita
tively at the White House to-day.
While the Administration is op
posed to any act which might be
taken as a recognition of the Huerta
regime, it is believed that the sud
den crisis in Mexican affairs will
force Washington to accept Ambas
sador Wilson’s resignation and to
appoint his successor within a short
time.
Formal recognition of the Huerta
Government would be required if the
United States were to send an Am
bassador to Mexico as a successor of
Henry Dane Wilson. This was as
serted by State Department officials
to-day, who added that there is no
way in which the Unitpd Stales can
change its attitude toward Mexico at
the present time without involving a
formal and valid recognition of Gen
eral Huerta.
There is no middle ground on which
the United States could stand, so as
to "save its face” in its present em
barrassment and at the same time
yield to the pressure now being placed
upon it by certain European powers.

Constantine relative to the barbarity
of the Bulgarians were the following:

WASHINGTON, July 17.—With half
a carload of account books and files
of the National Association of Man
ufacturers, and 20,000 letters and tel
egrams made public by M. M. Mulhall,
the Overman Lobby Inquiry Commit
tee to-day found itself for the first
time in a position to ascertain the
whole truth concerning the methods
of manufacturers in controlling elec
tions and legislation.
The new mass of testimony is ex
pected to furnish proof or refutation
of Mulhall’s personal accusations and
insinuations.
A letter from Judge William R.
Speer, of the Hudson County, N. J..
District Court, to former Governor J.
Franklin Fort of New Jersey, intro
ducing Colonel Mulhall, w'as exhibit
ed by the committee. Speer is a
nephew of John Kirby, former presi
dent of the Manufacturers’ Associa
tion.
On April 28, 1908, the late Vice
President Sherman wrote to Mulhall
that it was impossible to get the Lit
tlefield compulsory pilotage bill
through the House. Sherman was
provoked at the tariff agitation of the
National Association, and said it
might lead to the election of a Dem
ocratic President. Sherman also was
angry at the newspaper fight against
Speaker Cannon’s candidacy for the
presidential nomination.
At that time Representative James
Watson, of Indiana, according to a
letter written by Mulhall, "had a great
notion to take the floor before Con
gress adjourned and expose the whole
1 dirty piece of trickery from start to
finish,” referring to a statement that
the White House, meaning President
Roosevelt, was responsible for the
newspaper campaign against Cannon.
“Watson states that the President is
moving heaven and earth to nominate
Taft,” wrote Mulhall: "that he is will
ing to sacrifice the Sherman law and
every other law to please the trusts
and to please Wall Street, so that he
can get their support for his candi
date at Chicago.”
Colonel Mulhall testified that he
had paid money to Henry Neal,
Speaker Clark’s negro messenger, for
"small favors, such as getting people
in and out of the Speaker’s office.”
"I learned,” wrote Mulhall, "while
at Senator Foraker’s home, that the
opposition to the President (Roose
velt) intends to let no legislation
through which he wishes at this ses
sion of Congress, and intends to fight
the Taft forces to a finish.
“I met Mr, Beveridge and called his
attention to promises he made to Mr.
Parry and others in India in regard
to the class legislation. Mr. Beveridge
told me that he stood strongly in fa
vor of the injunction bill the Presi
dent wanted.”
