RUBBER MANUFACTURERS.
They Decide to Throw 5000 People Out of
Employment.

New York, Feb. "a private meeting of
rubber manufacturers was held at the Astor
House yesterday, at which were present
fifteen representatives of leading rubber COM
panies of the United States The convention
discussed the question of the ACCESSIBILITY of
forming consolidated rubber manufacturing
companies, to include all of the best COM
panies in the country, and after discussing
the subject in all its points, decided to leave
the matter to C. committee of six manufac-
turers, who will make report at the next
meeting. In accordance with agreement
made last month a number of companies
close their factories tomorrow and throw at
least S, 900 persons out o. work. The reason
for this action is the high price of crude rub
Der, which the manufacturers claim is due
to the operations of cliques working toward
speculative ends. Manufacture would be
willing to pay an advanced price for crude
rubber if they could get correspondingly ad-
vanced figures for their goods.

Mr. Ingalls, moved to amend the amendment so
as to fix tine limit of the burden at 800 tons
Agreed to.
The fee for every entrance and clearance of
vessels under 800 tons was fixed at 81. 80.
After some general discussion, Mr., Ed
munds moved to strike out everything
contained In the bill after the tariff
provisions, except the two paragraphs
repeating sections 2,907 and 2,908 of the Re
vIsed Statutes, which impose duties on charges
and commissions. The motion was agreed to
without division. The portions of the bill struck
out are those which would make changes in the
machinery For the collections of customs duties
Although Mr.. Edmunds made the motion to
strike ont, 1t was first suggested by Mr.. Ingalls,
The reason he assigned that although he
believed the machinery for collecting duties re-
CURED simplificatiOn, the work could not be
properly performed at this session for want OF
time.
Mr.. Sherman offered additional section, OF
which he gave notice yesterday, relating to the
effect of repeating modifying portions of this
act upon rights accruing or accrued, and rights
or liabilities arising under existing laws. Inc
section adopted.
The internal revenue portion OF the bill was
then taken up.
Mr.. Beck moved to make the tax on snuff and
manufactured tobacco cents per pound instead
of IL cents, in the bill. He insisted upon the
vote on his motion, which resulted-yeas 3, nays
II.
Those who voted yea were: Barrow, Davis OF
West Virginia; German, Morgan and Sawyer.
NO quorum was present. and the Senate au-
j0urned.

him and sank in moment. The deckhands
lost were George Gowan and E. Rayback,
