about 500 In all parts of the United
States and representatives in our new
ly acquired dependencies. The aims of
the federation are warmly Endorsed by
many eminent economists and students
of social science and the conditions of
American life. Among those who have
commended it are the late Charles
Dudley Warner, president Of the Amer
lean Social Science association, and J.
w. jerks, the political economist Of
Cornell university. Professor jerks
has expressed the opinion that the car
rying out of the AIMS of this associa-
ton would be of untold benefit to the
voters throughout the country.
At the coming meeting of the fedora
ton many questions of grave import
connected with the internal and for
eign policy of the United States and
others concerning subjects of social
and economic Importance will be dis
cussed. Many of the most prominent
of American students and investigators
of these subjects will be heard, and it
will be strange if satisfactory solutions
of some at least of the problems con-
fronting our people are not reached in
this and succeeding conferences. One
of the questions uppermost in the
minds Of Chicago people and Of grave
import. to the other sections of the
country is the successful arbitration of
strikes. Chicago has suffered much
through the great strike in the building
trades. Many of the best known labor
leaders of the United States viii be
here during the meeting Among those
who have accepted invitations to par
ticipate are Carroll ID. Wright. the
United States commissioner Of labor;
John Mitchell, who conducted the re-
cent strike of the coal miners and who
will doubtless relate his experiences
during that struggle, and Samuel Com
pers, the well known labor leader. In its
call for the coming meeting the fedora
ton says that strikes and lockouts are.
perhaps a greater waste of human en-
ergy and responsible for a greater loss
of wealth to society as a whole than
any other obstructive factor connected.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Last fall at the
trust conference held under the aus.
pices of the Civic Federation of Chi
cago the question of forming a national
civic federation along the same lines as
the eminently successful chicago or
ganiZation was discussed. In June of
this year the discussion bore fruit. and
the National Civic Federation was or
gained In few days the federation
will meet here, and the open discussion
of some Of the problems that are veX-
ing the United States may point the
way to their solution.
The federation is bipartisan and
very wide in it's scope. 1t is intended
by its founders that nothing that has
bearing, direct or indirect, on the wel-
fare of our country shall be neglected.
The prospectus of the organization, is
sued last June. states its objects to be
o ito provide for study and discussion of
questions of national import affecting
either the foreign or domestic policy Of
che United States, to aid in the crystal
liZation of the most enlightened public
sentiment of the country in respect
thereto and when desirable to promote
necessary legislation in accordance
Herewith"
1t will readily be seen that the inten-
lions of the federation if carried into
effect can but make for the betterment
of the country. Its parent organiza-
ton, the Civic Federation of Chicago,
which has been in existence about six
years, has done much for local i'm
provement, since it is composed of the
best citizens of the city. 1t is proposed
to make of its prototype, the national
organization, the same power for good
in national affairs that the local feder-
alton has been In Chicago affairs.
The need of such an organization is
set forth by Franklin II. Head, the
chairman of the committee on Organi-
cation, who cites the fact that the man.
ufacturers, the agriculturists, the great
labor bodies, the financiers, the ecOnO-
mists and other classes have their an
nual meetings devoted to their special
questions. The object of the National
Civic Federation in addition to creating
departments to study national prob
lens is to provide a national forum by
means of which representatives Of all
these great divisions of society may
come together and discuss the prob
lens In which all have an interest.

Federation now has a membership Of

obtainable In quantities sufficient to
guarantee the future success Of the
whole region is rubber. Most of the
1900 inhabitants of Acre are connected
In some way with the traffic In the use
ful apd valuable gum. The rubber has
to be taken to the coast for shipment
through Brazil In doing this the Am
AEON river, that great artery circulat-
ing and pulsating through the heart OF
the vast tropical wilderness. serves as
an outlet The boats In leaving Acre
follow the Aquiry river to its junction
with the Purus and thence eastward to
the point of the iatter's confluence with
the main current of the Amazon. The
total distance is about 1000 miles.
Brazil requires the payment Of duty
on all the rubber that Is taken through
its territory. The impost is levied and
collected at Para. Last year the ship
ments ran from 1900 to 1000 tons. The
rubber. being worth from 80 cents to 81
a pound, would run it's value up to
about $1,000 a ton. Four thousand
tons at $1,000 each would equal $780,
600 as the value of the annual product
of the Acre country. On this Brazil
has been collecting an export duty at
Para of from Fl to % per cent, thereby
deriving a revenue Appropriated at
81. 100000 annually. Brazilian capital
lists are the principal investors in Acre,
and it is likely that that country will
always WELD considerable influence In
it's development
Rubber hunting is a varied and inter-
esting pursuit, but it is also accompa-
MED with more or less of risk. The
best localities for the finding of the ST.
phonia elasticia. or Brazilian rubber
tree. are isolated and thronged with all
sorts of reptiles and wild animals.
Hereabouts the rubber hunters are
called "stringuerios," which name cor
responds to the Central American term
'pularoes." They usually go out in
small parties, each having chosen one
of their number for captain. AS soon
as the rubber swamps are reached they
select a suitable spot for a base Of OPP
erations and proceed to construct a
rude camp. which serves as a general
rendezvous. Then they wander off
singly and in couples looking for the
rubber trees until nightfall, when they
return to headquarters.
The hunter as he goes his daily
rounds makes a number of fresh cuts
around the trunk of each tree which lie
has previously marked as his own spe-
cial property pro TEN. and sets little
clay cups to catch the valuable sap that
flows from the incisiOns. The sap. at
this stage resembles rich Jersey cream
more than anything else that can
compare it with.
The milky Juice, or caoutchOuc, as
the natives call it, was first made use
Of by the Indians of Costa Rica and by
them made known to their cOnquerors.
The Spaniards in Mexico had leaned
as early as 1913 to make it hhtO'shoes
and also to use it for waxing their
cloaks in order to. render them water
proof. -. HAYS DUBOIS.

PITTSBURG, Pa. April 19.-The
steel markets in Pittsburg continued
firm to-day and no breaks in prices
were reported. 1t was learned to-day
that an effort is being made by the
largest producers Of tank plates which
have dropped in price. to form a pool,
of '.g~entlemen's agreement" similar to
the rail and billet agreements between
producers now in force. Something
will be done in this matter soon and 1t
is probable that the scheme will go
through. If it does the Carnegie Com
pany@ Jones 6 Laughlins. Park Steel
Company and others will become par
ties to a price agreement. The latter
will probably advance quotations to
two cents a pound on large orders and
81 cents on smaller Totes. The price
now is 1.9 cents.

change to-day lapsed into a condition
of dullness and abandonment to the

tinues to be heard on all sides con-
corning the bear raid on the iron and

market but in the iron trade as well
accusations of bad faith and double
dealing are banded about. All other
authorities in the trade disagree with
the views of Chairman Gates, of the

the subject, mo sharp tumble in val

ment in the wire trade should pro-
duce such an effect" 1t is the reserva-
ton thus expressed that has SO effec-
,tually upset the speculative world.
Dealers in securities kept one eye on
the iron and steel stocks all day and
the erratic and irregular movements
in that group kept the whole market
in a feverish and uncertain state. When
pressure there was relaxed there was
a disposition manifest to mark up
prices elsewhere, but the burden of
selling met on the advance gave an
appearance of a desire to realize on an
extensive scale and took the snap out
of the market. On THE other hand.
the majority Of stocks offered decreas-
ed materially on a considerable de-
cline, giving an undertone of irmness
to prices. Notable strength was shown
at one time by the Baltimore & Ohio
stocks and on the other hand Southern
Pacific suffered from decided weak
ness. The one movement had about
as much effect on the general list as
