Will United With AIillers in Objecting
 to London Clause.
 New York, Dee 233-According to the Journal of Commerce the lumber deal CTS have joined issue with the millers of the northwest in objecting to the London clause" which the London steamship lines insist shall be inserted in all bills of 1ading. Elliott Lang, secretary of the National Lumber Deal CTS association, has forwarded to Sen ator Frye a statement showing the in terest of the lumber people in the mai ter. Mir Lang in part said
 The lines engaged in the London trade have inserted in their bills of lading q clause known as the London clause. and it is against this clause that this particular objection is raised. The principal ground of complaint against this clause is that it. is not en- forced against any cargo except that originated in American ports. l am in receipt of authentic information from London importers to this effect, and 1t is cited, as a particular instance, to mahogany moving from Mexico. My correspondent states that his mahOg- any -consignments moving from Mexico to the port of London direct are land ed on the quay free of charge; but where such cargo moves by way of New York. for instance, and is trans ported at that port by way of the Lon don line, even under q through bill of lading. the New York to London liner assesses this charge against the cargo, and we are informed that i'll some in stances where the English consignee refuses to pay the charge because it is not provided for in the bill of Iading, the New York to London line re charges this expense against its Mexi- co connection

 Force

Force.
 This is the banner shopping day of the Christmas time in Waterbury thus far If tomorrow is fine over head it is probable that bigger crowds will be out. Santa Claus took a ride about town in a little wagon drawn by I goat and was an object of much attention, especially on the part of the small boys who followed him from one place to another and persisted in worrying the goat until finally the anil mal kicked and refused to move a peg until the youngsters got out of it's way. Old Santa Claus may be all right holding the ribbons over rein deer in mad race over snow-capped countains on his trip to this part of the world. but judging by the manner i'll which he handled the goat he is not expert i'll dealing With that kind of beasts, for the goat didn't appear to understand what he was saying and insisted i'll going in every direction ex- cept the way indicated by the bearded driver. T don't see any of the boys that wears his years as we'll as Santa Claus" said Officer Tehan to Ser genat B1akeley, as he watched the old joker brimming over with mirth in the cart He looks just as young now as he did the first time l saw him. Ser geant Blakeley nudged q bystandef and replied: Oh, I guess he takes good care of himself, and, besides, I don't suppose he does anything only around Christmas. He's not like some of the rest. of us, out in all kinds of weather and rarely ever have | day to rest"
