NOT READY YET.
Strike Commission Slow
to Act.
PREPARING ITS TESTIMONY
And Ready to Hear Remedial
Suggestions.
THE REPORT WILL BE LONG,
And Will Be Prepared Jointly After
All the Suggestions Have
Been Heard.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Commissioner
of Labor Wright, chairman of the United
States commission appointed 10 investigate
the Chicago strike. arrived in this city this
morning. The commission, which ad-
journed August 80, is TO reassemble at the
Office of the Department of Labor to-mor-
row to decide whether any further testi-
mOny is needed and to hear or to receive
any further suggestions with reference to
the remedies that may be volunte ered.
Commissioner Wright says that he has
done no work upon the subject since the
adjournment of the commission, although
he has given it much thought during the
recess.
While the testimony was being prepared
Commissioner Herman of New York has
been charged with the duty OF making
synopsis of the remedies from suggestions
that have been received. They have come
from multi tude of sources and have GOV.
cred very extensive range.
Judge Worthing:on of Illinois, the other
member of the commission, has been
charged with tie duty OF digesting and an
alyzing the testimony which is being pre-
pared under his direction at his home in
Peoria. Ill 1t is expected that the tesii-
mony will make about $500 printed pages.
Commissioner Wright. when seen by an
Associated Press reporter. had not yet
looked over his mail. and was unable TO
say whether any further volunteer testi-
mony would be offered or not. "At our
meeting Tomorrow" he said, Tin case
there are no applications to be heard, we
will decide from Judge Wortbington's
work whether the testimony we have
taken is to be supplemented by additional
evidence on disputed points. We will then
discuss our report, which, despite all
statements to the contrary, has as yet re-
ceived no consideration by the comm tee.
st is probable that we will then separ-
ate after an agreement concerning its
terms is reached, provided that we are of
one mind, and the work of writing the re-
aort will be divided. The report should
be in the banda of the President By the
middle of November, in order that be can
incorporate any suggestion he desires to
make concerning it in his annual message
to Congress the first Monday in December"
do you anticipate any practical benefit
from the work of the comm ssiou?"
THE commission was in no sense one of
arbitration. replied Commissioner Wright,
''sS so many people suppose. The law
only contemplated an official investigation
Of the strike-the determination of its
causes and suggestions tending to a remedy
to be used as basis of action should any
legislation looking to the correction oil any
existing evil be deemed necessary.
''The commission is in no sense a ju-
dicial body and has no over to condemn
any Of the parties. 1t will simply lay be-
fore the President an official Investigation
of the greatest strike in the history of the
American republic"

THE CHIEF LOSEI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Brazilian
Government has given notice that the
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Brazil will be abrOgated by
Brazil on January 1. This treaty was he
principal one negotiated by the late Secre-
tary Blaine.
Senior Mendonca said to-day: "Brazil's
action is a necessary sequence to the en-
actment of the new tariff law by the
United States. and there is no significance
in the action of my country beyond its doing
It's part toward the termination of treaty
which the tariff law itself abrogates. The
original agreement gave either country the
privilege OF TeDounciDg the treaty on July
l or January 1 of any given year by Civ
ing three months notice. The tariff law
served to sbrogate the treaty without any
notice to Brazil, but our Government saw
fit to give the full notice, ard the reci-
procity rates for American goods will re-
main only until January in Brazil"
Mr.. Mendonca was asked as 10 the effect
of the change of the treaty.
"The reciprocity treaty." he said. twas
chiefly bene fetal to Braz In sugar. Prior
to it our sugar had only the domestic mar
ket. but the reciprocity treaty gave US he
United States market, and as a result our
sugar trade TO this country has trebled In
the last three years. Our coffee trade.
which was another main item, will not be
affected by the change.
'On the part of the United States the
treaty gave advantages to this country on
manufactured iron goods, railroad sup
plies, lard and agricultural products. The
rates Will not be materially raised against
this country, and l am expecting this
country to make large increases in sending
manufactured woolens to Brazil as a re.
suit of the new wool manufacturing in
duced by free raw wool in the new tariff
law. Outside of this, few changes will
occur by the termination of reciprocity"
Besides the reciprocity treaty with
Brazil. which Will lapse entirely on Jan
uary 1 next, the United States entered
into nine similar arrangements with other
nations under the authority conferred by
the Mckinley act. The arrangements are
