WAsrrISGroS, D. c., May ia
Wheeling delegation, including Editor
Taney Of the Register, Randolph Stall
maker and ]. Il. McCortney, had a
Ianvtby conference with Congressman
Wilson to-day, in the Ways and Means
committee room on the proposition to
give the pottery industry better show
in the Mills bill. Wilson and Bynum,
Of Indiana, are a subcommittee who
have charge Of the pottery branch of the
bill; but Bynum, though presentpart OF
the time, took no hand in the confer
ence. Bynum said tonight to the IN
TELLlGESCIR correspondent that one
concession had been made TO the pottery
interests early in the session, when
decorated earthenwarc was classed with
decorated instead Of plain china, and no
further concession need be expected.
The delegation gave their representa-
tions political as well as business
color but Bynum says this has been 80
Oyerdone By kicking Democratic manu-
facturers that it has no pull on the Dem
0cratic members of the committee. He
saws an industry that cannot live under
forty.fye per cent protection ought 10
die. and that il the Democratic party in
West Virginia or anywhere else cannot
succeed on the issue OF tariff reduction
Il deserves defeat. He has no bowels
for Democratic manufacturers and poll
ticians who are predicting defeat from
reduction of high tariff, and he speaks
for the committee as well as for himself.
learn tonight from good authority,
that this visit Of the Wheeling delega-
ton was in the main, a part of move
originated by Editor fancy and some
ex.glass manufacturer. Mr.. Taney is
said to have been particularly taken
with the scheme, especially since his Sc
lection as a dclegate.at-large TO the st.
Louis convention, his idea being that it
would afford him an opportunity to
pose here before Kenna and the other
Administration high priests MS one to
whom had been committed the hand
ling Of the interests OF the pottery and
kindred industries in the Wheeling
section, and at the same time impress
the people ut home that, notwithstand-
ing recent editorial utterances, he was
making herculean efforts for the benefit
OF classes that must have adequate pro-
lection in order to live.
Mr., TANIY WANTED TO DO 1T ALL.
learn further that Mr.. Taney would
have much preferred to have been al
lowed to interview the subcommittee
personally or in private, but his asso-
Ciates, notably Major Stalnaker, who is
considered here to be as well up in poll
tics as the famous cx.editor and manager
Of the Rtgiaer-Lewis Baker-whom Mr..
Tancy weakly endeavors to initiate, were
too smart to let him have his private in
tGrView. Another reported disappoint-
ment that the would-be ring.master Of
the Register is said to have suffered is,
that he did not get other prominent Ad-
ministntiOn Democrats from Wheeling
to accompany him here. Itwould have
been much more desirable for him to
have had Postmaster Simpson and Sher-
III Handlan along, and let Major Stall
maker remain at home to help Colonels
Hearn and O'Brien get up patterns for
their new pottery. The trip has been
Disappointing to Mr.. Taney all around,
especially us he was anxious that the
tnp should be kept a profound secret
unless he succeeded in his plans.
INDEPENDENT MOVE HINTED AT.
A well known West Virginian, who
was posted as to the visit of this delega-
ton, said in n significant manner to-
night in speaking about the matter:
THE sooner the classes in the Wheeling
district who believe that industrial in.
stitutions and labOring people should
receive protection, realize that that can.
not come from party that puts forward
representatives from such States as Ar.
kansas, Texas, Tennessee and Ken
tucky, and representative from the
home Of Jim Mason to revise and adjust
measure that has iostered and pro-
tected the great industries Of the country
and thereby contributed largely to make
the country what it is-so soon as they
realize all this and organize Immediately
in some independent manner for theil
protection against such legislation a
We are now getting, the better"
soon after the conference Mr.. Wilson
LETT Tor a round Of electioneering in hi
district, beginning witha speech at Mar
lnsburg tomorrow. He pocketed thu
proposition Of the Wheeling gentlemen
and that will probably be the last Of it
Inc delegation went home tonight.
