THE WOODEN MANUFACTURERS.
Guild Is Criticised for Asking President
For Tariff Revision.

Boston, Feb. Gone hundred mem
bers Of the National Association of
Wooden Manufacturers. employing
nearly 100000 persons and representing
invested capital of nearly 500, 100000,
applauded the annual address of Pres
ident William Whitman of this city,
When as usual he sounded the policy
Of the association for the coming year,
and at the same time criticized Gov.
Guild severely for his action in petit
tioning the President and Congress to
rasten revision of the tariff. President
Whitman said that what the aSsocia-
ton desired was not agitation but
reace. He also said that a careful study
of the adjustment of labor was neces-
sary and that manufacturers must See
that labor receives fair share of the
general wage, as in other industries.
The other speakers were Congress
man w. S Bennett of New York, who
spoke on Selected immigration as
Opposed to Restricted Immigration
advocated by Congressman Gardner OF
this state, and Professor Paul II. Ham
US of Harvard University, who de-
scribcd the work of the new industrial
tra ming in the schools.
President Whitman, in his remarks
regarding Gov. Guild spoke deliberate
ly but with much feeling. He said that
recently the governor of Massachusetts
without consulting the managers Of the
great industries of the state. excepting
that seeking special benefits. has I'M
dertaken to hasten tariff action and to
create a conviction that this is the wish
Of the business men and the voice of
Massachusetts.
Eve who are responsible for the en-
pIoyment of thousands of people and
for the continued prosperity of many
communities, should rise up in our
wrath and openly repudiate the COVER
nor's assumed authority and oppose his
tariff policy What we desire is not
agitation. but peace. 1t is the greatest
need of business generally. The bust
nase interests of today ought not to be
lmperilled for conjectural and Elusive
political advantages. We ought not TO
allow our industrial system to be made
political plavthing.
President Whitman said that the
wear had been the most prosperous in
the industrial history of the country
and the coming years are full of praise.
The association chose the following
officers: President, William Whitman OF
Boston; vice presidents, Charles ii.

Wood. Boston; Frederick s. Clark,
