Five Close Matches.

In the competition for the club cup there
were five close matches, two of which were
won by one up and the three others were
all even at the home green and were settled
In each Instance by the playing of an ad-
ditional hole
The match between DR.. Lee Harlan of
the Columbia Club and J. De Moss of the
Tuscombia Golf Club was interesting In
his start from the first tee Dr. Harlan did
we'll, but lost the seventh and eighth in 5
and 6, and by halving the ninth In 3, was
down the course toward the home green in
2 down. He lost the eleventh and twelfth
holes, and, starting from the fifteenth tee
was down and to go. At the home green
De Moss won by up. DR.. Harbar by los
ing this contest was placed in thu consola-
ton class, 1t being the first time in Il local
tournament that he has failed to play in
the first sixteen. In the close of the contest
Harlan won the sixteenth and seventeenth
holes in seven strokes, the same being one
under par golf. AT the last green he was
on for the last hole In 2. but, on his third
try, about four feet from the hole, he
missed. This would have made the match
all even for the eighteen holes. But DR..
Harlan required 4, the same De Moss.
which caused the hole to be halved, De
Moss winning 1 up. The cards were as fol-

WILL Be CHANGED
TO MEET VIEWS
Of PRESIDENT

Washington, June 1s-The house com
mittee on agriculture today authorized
Chairman Wadsworth and Representative
Brooks OF Colorado 10 amend the meat
inspection provision in the agricultural
bill TO meet the views OF President Roose-
welt. after which the measure will be
submitted to the president by Speaker
Cannon.
IL Is stated that not all of the presiden-
tial suggestions will be accepted, II the
wishes OF the committee are complied
with.
The discussion today made II plain that
there was no objection 20 eliminating The
court review provision as suggested by
the president also that his wishes that
the civil service commission furnish the
inspectors will be complied with. There is
opposition TO placing the date Of manu-
facture on the liable and TO inserting the
words: I'm the judgment OF the secretary
OF agriculture" thus making the secre-
tary the final authority regarding the
measure.
There was some criticism by members
or the committee as TO the method TO
be employed I'm handling the measure, as
no Republican members who presented
minority views nor any Democratic mem
bers of the committee. are to have any
thing TO do with redrafting the substi-
tute.

move from here TO other localities where
higher wages. IL is reported. are being
paid
The manufacturers letter follows:
Thomas Taylor. Secretary Textile Coun-
ell:
Dear Sir:-Your letter OF the sth inst,
requesting a restoration OF the wages
paid prior TO July S 1904. has been re-
ceived. The manufacturers have always
contended that the standard OF wages
must be based on the margin between
cotton and cloth, and in the settlement
OF the strike of 1901 the governor of Mas
Sachnsetts, having been mutually agreed
upon as an arbitrator by the Textile Coun-
cu and the manufactures, stated that
after an examination OF the mills ac-
counts that a margin OF 743s cents was
necessary for the successful operation OF
tho mills before the manufacturers could
pay an advance OF per cent. in wages
then in force.
"In October. 1905. after a request from
the Textile Council for an advance and
IN order 70 introduce the sliding scale.
the manufacturers accepted the propos-
tion OF the Textile Council TO make the
margin 721s cents (based on IS cents for
weaving a cut Of print cloth) as a basis
from which TO compute the dividend on
wages earned. If a margin OF 72x cents
Is necessary to run the mills, then IL
must be clear 70 everybody that there can
be no fairer basis than the method now in
force for the payment Of wages?
1T was supposed that the sliding scale
agreed upon Oct. 30. 1905, would be given
fair trial and would continue In force
for full year at least The manufac-
turers, however, realize the disappoint-
ment TO the operatives In the cessation OF
his dividends. owing. as they believe,
largely TO the speculative manipulation OF
the price OF cotton.
I'm order. therefore, 10 remove as
far as practicable, this sense of dis
appointment until more stable condi-
tions exist. by reason OF the coming
OF the new cotton, they will, beginning
June IS until October /. 1906. guar
antee a weekly dividend OF not less
than 5 per cent. and the present wage
with further guarantee that II the
margin in any one week exceeds this
per cent increase, they will pay an
additional dividend upon the same
terms as in the agreement OF October
30. 1905
I'm the meantime If the operatives
still believe that the basis of 72A cents
is not just and all the manufactures
can afford to pay we are willing again,
that a far-minded and unprejudiced
tribunal be mutually agreed upon who
will make thorough investigation OF
facts and report what. in their judg-
ment is just and equitable basis
OF margin.
Yours respectfully.
