There is now prospect of pottery
trust.
Representatives of the principal pot
teries of the country met in Chicago
yesterday to discuss the formation of
an association to control the output
and prices of all the establishments in
their line in the country.
This, we are to understand, means
that they are beginning to compete
with one another and to cut under the
prices to which they are legally enti-
tied under the Dingley tariff.
A good many years ago when there
was talk OF reducing the tariff the pot
tiers met and Indignantly protested
against any reduction on articles COM
peting with their products and pro-
claimed to all the land that they were
entitled to the home market.
BY that they meant that the Ameri
can people had no right to buy crock
cry where they could get it at prices
fixed by worldwide competition, but
that they, the American potters, had
a right to extort some so per cent
more than competitive prices from
their countrymen.
A Republican Congress agreed with
them. They seem to have got along
until now without competing among
themselves and to have taken their
full pound of flesh under the Shylock
tariff, but now they must get together
in a trust or the long-suffering public
will at last get the benefit of little
competition among the potters who
have a right to skin them under the
shelter of laws,

Rights of Union Men

Recently the New York court OF ap-
peals adIAitted the right of a labor
union to call its members out on
strike from a non-union shop. The
decision was based largely on the
ground that employers would not be
legally responsible if a union man
were injured through the carelessness
of a non-union employee. The right of
the union men to protect themselves
was acknowledged. Shortly before
this decision was made public a bill
was introduced in the Maryland leg
islature providing for compulsory in
dustrial insurance, after the European
fashion, which should cover all such

Mr.. Schwab's declaration of the
mammoth proportions of the steel

were supposed to be, will at least
serve the purpose of Strengthening the

great trust, shall not command higher
prices for it's products than it is en-.
titled to and collect them through the
assistance of a protective tariff.

Not Their Own Masters.

The Republicans purposely made the
Dingley tariff higher than they would
have otherwise made it in order that
they might reduce it by reciprocity,
but they have been unable to reduce it
in the least, by reciprocity or other
wise. Is it at all doubtful whether the
Republicans are their own masters or
are controlled outright by the tariff
subsidized interests?

The Somerset Manufacturing company
OF IL Beverly street is illustrating a new
system OF spinning and twisting cotton.
one which is claimed will revolutionize
the art OF spinning.
Among the many advantages which the
company claims for the new system is a
greatly Increased production and more
even yarn. a.
In the old system the production Is
controlled by the speed OF the travellers.
and the outside limit of speed that has
been found to work satisfactory Is 10000
revolutions per minute, while with this
ring the guides that take the place OF the
travellers. are fixtures on top OF the ring.
and the ring will run equally as well at
5000 revolutions per minute as 10000 revo-
lutlons. II Is claimed. and that II Is only
a matter OF what the rest OF the frame
will stand. as TO what extent the produc-
tion can be increased, and the Is per cent
claimed Is no harder for the frame to
stand than the present speed
Another advantage promised Is that the
guides used to take the place of the trav-
eiers will spin any number of yarn. while
travellers have TO. be changed every time
mill wants to make a different number
of yarn, and at the best will not wear
over two weeks while the guides OF the
new system will wear as long as the
machine itself. II Is said, and a low esti-
mate of the expense OF travellers to a mill
OF $4,000 spindles is about $500 per year
and figured on this basis the system would
save on the present cotton spindles now
In use In the United States, over $50, 900
per year In travellers alone.
Mono of the patent spindles or threat
guides now In use are used In the new
system. The company asserts that no
matter how slow the speed the new sys-
tenn will spin equally well, where In the
present system they cannot start the
spinning frames until the driving shafting
is running full speed, and the spinning
frames must be stopped before the shaft
ing stops. and take this loss OF time
morning. noon and night. means a con-
siderable loss of production, while this
system will spin every minute the shaft
ing Is running.
Another advantage claimed for the new
system Is that II makes more even yarn.
from the fact that the distance from
the drawing rolls to where the yarn In

thereby giving a perfect twist; while In
the old system the distance Is always
changing from rolls to wind OF yarn. on
account of ring moving up and down while
winding the yarn on the bobbin, and
this varying distance gives an imperfect
twist which makes uneven yarn. Ends
can be picked up quicker and easier than
with travellers and the frame Is compare
lively free from cotton fiyings.
With this new system all the principal
objections of the spinning frame has been
overcome and the same excellent quality

system. II is just as valuable In twist
ing as In spinning yarns. and the produc-
ton In twisting can be Increased 30 per
