day by the refusal of members of Frank
lin Union No. 4, press feeders to go to
work in houses controlled by the Chicago

TO REDUCE DUrY ON COTTON.
Announcement From Russia of Departure from
Protective System.
(By the Associated Press.)

St. Petersburg Oct. Sit is intimated
in the official messages that a reduction
in the duty on raw cotton may be ex-
pected in the autumn of 1904 This is the
first prospective departure from the pre-
vailing protective system. The purchasing
power of the Russian masses is so low
that the textile interests are threatened
with ruin, notably those in the st.
Petersburg district The duties on fin
ished goods are sufficiently high to ex
clude foreign competition, but the high
prices cannot be maintained. owing to the
inability of the masses to pay them. The
spinners have long been asking for re-
duction in the duty on raw cotton, which
now stands at fifty to eighty per cent.
according to the price of cotton abroad.

violated.

Cutting of the third instant shows most
remarkable change and inconsistency in
views
