fore the military service institute at
Governors Island OH How Far Does
Democracy Affect the Organization and
Discipline OF Our Armies, and How Can
It's Influences be Most Enectually Uu-

Col. Petit dealt al length with the sub
lect the general trend OF his argument
being that the influence OF politics upon
the military OF this country was baneful.
The speaker said I'm part:

lion al This SESSION

Washington, Dec. I4-There will be no
ship subsidy legislation at this session
OF congress II the will OF Speaker Can
non and other leaders OF the hoise pre-
walls. 1t is stated on excellent authority
that ten of the is members OF the house
committee on merchant marine, which
has jurisdiction over the subject, are
either opposed TO a Subsidy bill under any
circumstances or antagonistic 10 action
at this time.
The statement is also made In this con-
nection that the speaker has expressed
the belief that n the Subsidy bill were
reported to the house II might possibly
precipitate a discussion OF the tariff, and
he Ia most forceful or all the Repub-
lican leaders I'm opposing revision.
While the Merchant Marine commission
was looking into the subject OF shipping
during the past recess considerable evil
dence was offered to the effect that the
Steel Trust put structural steel down on
the Clyde at rates from % TO 40 per cent
less than they demand I'm this country
This was purely incidental to the question
that the commission had under considera-
ton. but It is known by the speaker that
this matter would be brought upon the
floor I'm the event that the subsidy was
reported.
The speaker Is fearful OF taking any
chances on the tariff and he will do
everything possible to shut off talk on
the subject.

AMOUNTS

After notices OF increase OF wages have

ule.

er This includes the Coronet Worsted

raise. The matter OF advancing the wages
Of the operatives OF the Farwel mills Of

James H. Singleton, treasurer of the
