FJTTERS MEET
IN THEIR ANNUAL SESSION AT
WASHINGTON
president Wells. Of East Liverpool,
Addresses the Convention-con-
.. gresham Kennedy Aess N
as POSTMASTER. IHd


Washington, Dec 12.-Members OF
the United States Potters' association,
who met here today in their 26th an
nual session heard very hatterlng re-
ports of the growth of the pottery bus
iness in the United States. The homo
product it Is announced, is successful
ly competing with the foreign article.
After TWO lengthy sessions pleasing
ly divided by cali upon the secre-
tary of the treasury, the members to-
night are gathered about the BANQUET
ting board. They are listening to
speeches from Speaker Cannon, Con-
gressman Dalzell OF Pennsylvania and
others.
Representative Kennedy of Ohio act
ed as tOastmaster.
w. u. Wells of East Liverpool o.,
called the convention to order this
morning. East Liverpool sent the
largest delegation, Trenton, N. j.,
close second. Questions of customs
duties and discrimination In railroad
rates in favor of foreign shippers.
came before the body today and will
again be discussed tomorrow.
The association is prepared to fight
the railroads, which 1t is claimed, are
discriminating against American pot
terles. President Wells says that ow-
ing to the high freight rate al al ged
by the railroads, it is cheaper for tho
foreigner to send his pottery into this
country through Southern ports and
deliver IL over southern roads than for
the American manufacturer to deliver
his goods TO the same points over the
roads running between the eastern and
western sections of the country
The EschTownsend rate bill will be
favored by the association.
AS an example of the conditions un-
der which the American potters are
working President Wells said that the
rate from an European port, through
TO Omaha, Neb., Is 20 cents per hund-
red weight, while the rate from East
Liverpool Ohio, the leading pottery
center of the country is 65 cents per
hundred weight, to the same point.
This condition of affairs, he holds, de-
eats the purpose of the sO-called pro-
tective tariff, for American pottery.

met Ranger Tom Ross, who arriv-
ed-in the city yesterday evening.
From him it is learned he would
leave tomorrow for Austin where
his company will have headquar-
tiers. Mr.. Ross thinks there will
be some advantages from the
change of base, but does not know
whether or not the BOYS will be as
well satisfied in the city as in the
country, where they are free to
mount their horses and enjoy a
gallop in the pure country air
Capt. Hughes company, of which
Ranger Ross is a member, will be
dismounted, and when the boys are
called for duty they will ride the
trains whenever possible The
ranger boys are we'll known in this
section and their smiling faces will
be missed on the Lower Rio Gran
de. The evil doer, however, need
not congratulate himself upon their
removal, as the rangers will always
be close by when their services are
needed.
