The Montgomery tribune., 1907-09-06

Speaker Cannon in the same in
terview in which he admitted his
candidacy, also declared that sit
would be crime if Congress
should do anything at this time to
upset business, and the Politi-
clans are asking if that means
that theilSpeaker will oppose the
PRESIDENTS program of perfecting
the railway legislation in the next
session. The President believes
that Congress should at least pass
a law giving the Interstate Com.
merce Commission supervision
over all further issues of railway
stocks and bonds. 1t is regarded
as probable, too, that the Speaker,
who should be calldd "The Great
Stsnd-Patter" had the tariff in
mind when he referred to upset.

then he was speaking of the next
session, and not even the Presi.

LACK OF POWDER.
IN COUNTRY
r. S. Waddell Declares the
United States Should
Manufacture Explosives
PETTTIONED

Robert s. Waddell. a powder manu-
facturer of Peoria, ILL.,. has petitioned
the President and Congress to appro-
pirate ss.oOO,0O0 for the establishment
of three powder mills, one on the At
lantic seaboard under the control of
the Navy Department, another on the
Pacific slope under the same branch
OF the service and a third in the Mis-
sissippi Valley or Middle West under
authority OF the War Department. In
a brochure, entitled THE Powder Con-
splracy, issued by Waddell and cir
culated throughout the country, he
charges that the United States would
be In grave peril of a shortage Of am
munition should war break out sud
denly. condition which. he declares, is
due TO the Vaccinations of the powder
trust, described by him as IAN abso-
lutte and exclusive monopoly, superior
TO the Government. intrenched at the
Capitol. with its representatives in the
House, Senate and departments"
In his communication waddell
sketches the history of the invention
OF smokeless powder, which was per-
fected at the naval torpedo station at
Newport, r. l., by Lieutenant John B.
Bernadou, U. g. N. and Commander
George a Converse, u S. NJ, and is
known as the Bernadou- Converse pro-
cess. 1t is charged that those officers
sold their patented formula to Charles
A Rutter. who subsequently trans
ferred his rights to the process to the
International Smokeless Powder and
Dynamite Company of New Jersey, of
which United States Senator Dupont is
president 1t is charged that this COR
poration has sold the powder to for
eign nations and on that count Wad-
dell strove to have the United States
Supreme Court declare the patent to be
null and void
Now he insists that the powder trust
is selling to the Army and Navy de-
partments powder which costs SO cents
a pound for 941z cents and further
more that owing TO the process Of
manufacturing the combustile, by which
1t requires six months of seasoning be-
fore the article is ready for use. it is
stated that the nation would be in
adequately supplied with powder
should war break out
Waddell claims that the Dupont-In-
ternational Company is a conspiracy
acting in restraint of trade; that com
petition with II in the manufacture of
powder is impossible owing to the
patents it holds. and that it has been
disloyal in selling powder to foreign
nations. Government powder mills are
declared to be necessities.

JAPANESE CORNER
SUPPLY Of SILK

This is story that will send a shiver
through the ranks of the well-dressed
women of California and all other
places where silk skirts rustic pleas
antly and silken ribbons serve to adorn
beauty appropriately The price of
silks Is climbing and the dealers say
that they have no knowledge what the
higher cost viii be later. Manufac-
turers In the East have sent circulars
10 this city and elsewhere declining
TO make any terms for the spring trade
In the past three or four months the
price OF raw silk has risen from 81 to
$6.lO pound and the end is not vet.
Dealers say that corner has been
formed by japanese exporters in both
Chinese and japanese raw silk. which
furnishes the supplies for the United
States manufacturers.
But this is not the entire situation
Silk from all parts OF the world where
ii is produced in merchantable ouanti-
ties is making a record for cost that
has never been approached before
There Is no certainty that the silk
worms will have TO work overtime,
nevertheless. Local dealers said yes
terday that while there are new uses
for silk that require large quantities.
there is no indication that the supply
Is not adequate TO meet the demand
The willy Japanese are a great factor
Orient Records show that during the
hrst ten months of the year 1906 the
foreign middlemen were able to handle
only 6S.5 per cent of the Japanese silk
exports and the Japanese exported di-
rectly Ais per cent. -Four years ago
the foreigners had 76.S per cent and
the japanese 23.2 per cent Of this silk
exporting business OF Japan.
What adds insult TO injury now is
the fact that the japanese silk. ex-
porters are led by two firms with the
almost unpronounceable names OF Kilto
Gomez Kaisha and Mitsu Bussan Kai-
sha, so that it viii be difficult for the
ladies Of California to fittingly describe
the men by name who are making the
fabrics dear to women.
Dry goods houses OF San Francisco
have kept on selling silks at the old
rates. Notwithstanding the Increase by
Eastern manufacturers, which has al
ready amounted to 10 per cent But
that silk dresses and all other siIken
articles viii be more expensive is said
by those who know best. Springtime
will develop the present measure of
added cost. The silken-clad ladies are
not the only ones to suffer. Electricians
use silk for insulation. Silk is COM
bined largely in fabrics that are part
cotton. Ribbons. 1t is said in passing
now use up more raw silk than the
dress goods that are known as broad
silks"
Every week new circulars are sent
through the mails from the seat Of war.
The eyes OF the manufacturing East
are turned on far-away Japan and
China and their yellow inhabitants who
have the silkworms in leash. Fashion
may change to the extent that silks
would go out of vogue. but that seems
TO be so improbable that the general
expectation is that the earners of
wages will have TO dig up" more
largely from their means, with the
amount still indefinite.
