 Castleberry's Crop Bill.
 Of the fourteen bills introduced that of perhaps the greatest general interest to the State was the measure presented by Senator Castleberry of Tailadega, provid- ing for the gathering and publishing by the State of statistics relating to the pro- duction and manufacture of cotton and it's by-products, cotton seed meal and oil. This bill contemplates a complete pre- sentation of the condition of the cotton industry in this State and a record of its growth.

 CULT TO LIVE.

 tee of the House.

Washington, Jan. 1k--An extended hear ing was given today by the House Ways and Means Committee. to representatives "t various manufacturing interests, favor ing the passage of the bill introduced by Representative Lowering of Massachu7 setts. which provided that when imported duty paid materials are used in the man ufaeture or production of articles in the United States. but such imported mate- E1als cannot be specifically identiied by the manufactures or producer as having been used in the manufacture or produc- ton cf any article. as is now required, a drawback may be allowed on the expot- tation of such articles.
 W. H. seaver of the National Wire Company, said that steel billets and raw Dlateriais cost about $10 ton less abroad than at home. and in answer to a dues-' ton added:
 'At tho present time we can buy 1t abroad and pay the duty cheaper than we can buy 1t at hoEne.''
 Conditions. however. he said. are some what abnormal at this time
 "Is there any one company or corpora ton that controls the price of raw ma NSkAaI HI tAllS COQHNIy WA6 A3keQ OY 4 member of the Committee.
 T should say yes,'' replied Mir. seaver, that being the United States Steel Cor poration."
 What has been their action toward raising. or lowering prices?" MT Grosve- nor asked.
 Their policy has been to. retain the prices at such high level that the inde- pendent concerns have found 1t very dif- hcult to llve." replied Mir. Seaver.
 Representative Swanson Wa-) asked Mir. seaYer:
 When you sell your finished product, do you sell 1t abroad at less than you sell 1t at homer
 Yes, sir" was the reply, because we get the benefit of the drawback"
 The manufacturers argued that the pas sage of the bill would greatly increase the export business of this country.
 John Ford. Secretary of the Asiatie As- sociation of New York, said that the amount of cotton booked in this country in December for shipment to China was unprecedented.
 c. H. Cramp of the shspbuilding firm, said steel billets cost sz7 g ton abroad and t45 here. It cost more under ordinary conditions to build ships here than abroad because of the higher price Of labor.

 washington, Jan. 15.-1'he following statement was given out late this after noon by some of the House Judiciary Committee wfihich is charged with the preparation of an antitrust bill:
 we have had . conference with the Attorney General and we have been in- formally considering among other things his Suggestions, as we'll as discussing the general form of the legislation. No definite action has been taken by the subcommittee and we shah not be pre- pared to report to the full committee before the early part of next week"
 The subcommittee had fully expected to complete a bill today and report 1t to the full committee tomorrow, but found after the conference with the Attorney General today that more time will be re- uuired for the preparation of the bill with the changes determined upon than was given today. One of the objects of the talk with the Attorney General was to get the bill in strict legal form so 1t will stand the test of the courts If enacted into law
 The Republican members of the sub committee worked from 3 o'clock this af- ternoon until o'clock in an endeavor to get the bill ready to report tomorrow. but the encouragement decided upon after the conference with Attorney General Knox involved more than could be ac- complished by tomorrow. The positive statement was made that there has been no hitch to occasion the delay.
 Tt is simply a question of perfecting the bill," said one member of the suo- committee.
