Porto Ricans Ask That a Duty Be Put
on That Article.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Mr. Freder-
lick Degatau. resident commissioner
from Porto Rico, has had a conference
with Secretary Gage on the subject Of
the free importation Of coffee into
that country. Mr.. Degatau represent
ed that the coffee industry of Porto
Rico was threatened by these importa-
tons and he desired to present argu-
ment to show that under the terms of
the Foraker act the island government
was authorized to impose a duty Of
five cents a pound on all coffee
brought into it's market. One of the
sections of the Foraker act authorizes
the collection of this duty On coffee.
Mr.. Degatau insisted that the follow
ing sections, which direct the present
uncertain specified conditions to pro-
claim free trade between the two
countries, did not repeal the former
section as to the duty on coffee. MI.
Degatau did not make any extended
argument, but at the suggestion of the
secretary. he will prepare a brief on
the subject and submit it to the de-
partment. 1t is probable that the law
may be referred to the attorney gener-
al for construction on this point. The
department officials are inclined to the
opinion that Mr.. D~egatau's position ON
the subject is not we'll taken.

the print cloth mills of Fall River is
impending. Already the unions have
voiced their intention to resist the cut
down. proposed by the manufacturers,
the male spinners unanimously de-
claring that they will starve before
they accept the new schedule. The
mule spinners' committee asked that
the unions in various cities be urged
to give financial assistance. The Ma
tional Mule Spinners' association will
be asked to pledge its assistance.

unanimous to resist, although it is
pointed out that the actual feeling OF
organized labor in this city will be
shown at the meeting of the textile
council Thursday evening.

The farmers are doing some late fall
blowing. Deep blowing is advised, as
next summer may be another drouthy
season and deep blowing will hold the
moisture much longer and better than
shallow blowing, the roots of the crops
will penetrate deeper and easier down
to the moisture and will stand much
longer drouth.
