Into Discussion of Effect OF

Washington, May According TO
figures submitted today by John Nor
ris representing the American News
paper Publishers association. to the
select committee OF the house on wood

gardug the increased labor cost per
ton OF paper produced, the Increase
amounted to about 50 cents a ton. IN
spite of statements Of the paper men
TO tho contrary. he said. his calcuia-
ton was correct and yet he charged
that the paper makers had put on an
increased price Of Sl2 ton, alleging
that the increase was due to the high
or cost Of labor. In the case of the
Hudson River mill. Mr.. Norris present
ed data showing that even though the
mill changed from a two to three
tour basis the cost Of production of
paper actually had been reduced S1.I3

about which he had personal know

Mr. Norris replying to questions by

ers in the state of New York FOR :he
third quarter Of 1906. was $10.M per
week, which he said was very low He
would not enter into a discussion with
Nj. Mann as to the latters suggestion
that 1t appeared To be about time the
wages should be increased.
Answering Messrs Ryan and Ban
non. tho witness said that his wage
calculations had reference to union
ha1f Igl,.
exclusive of women and children. In
the state OF Massachusetts, he said.
the average weekly wage for 1906 was
1920 and that this figure took into ac-
count employees OF all classes and
sects including those under Il years Of
age
Washington May I'm further reftl-
t.ttion of the claim OF the paper manu-
facturers regarding the high cost OF
labor. Mr. Norris read from reports OF
the United States bureau of labor since
il appeared there was a decrease In the
wage of paper workers I'm 1906, as COM
pared with 1905, and that paper wording
was the only industry that was de-
creased.
AS showing the slight increase that
had taken place in the wage Of paper
workers Mr.. Norris offered statistics
for the year 1901, which fixed the paper
production at 2.7S2,2l9 tons at AN aver
age labor cost Of S745 per week. In
1900 he said the 6j.96i paper workers
in the United States received an aver
age wage OF $3.50 per week,
Some people say that protection in
crcases the wages OF working people
of the United States" remarked Mr..
Ryan, one of the Democratic members
of the committee but Mr.. Norris would
not permit himself to be drawn into
discussion of that question.
Further disputing the claims of L =
paper makers as to the wages paid.
MIR. Norris presented In evidence Of
fetal statistics regarding the polntins
and binding group which he said Were
receiving IS per cent more wages than
were being paid TO the paper workers.
At this juncture adjournment was
taken until Monday morning.

TARIFF SCHEDULES FILED.
Fresh Meat Shipments viii First
Be Affected, Increase Be-
ing Very Material.
yIay lie Intended as Feeder of Public
Sentiment With View 10 Making
Raise in Rates on Commodities.

washington, May at appears like
~ that the anticipated increase in rail-
road freight rates is about to be made.
A few days ago a member of the
Interstate commerce commission eX-
pressed the opinion that within three
or four months, unless a decided inn
provement in railroad conditions should
take place, il probably would be neces-
sary for the carriers either to increase
freight rates or to reduce the wages
of their employees
Sooner than was expected. action
looking to an increase in freight rates
has been taken The railways of the
southeastern territory have filed with
the interstate commerce commission
tariffs, effective June l, increasing their
freight rates on fresh meats materially.
The proposed rates will affect all fresh
meats shipped into the southeastern
territory from the north and west. The
new rates Will take effect at Ohio river
and Mississippi river crossings. in
Guiding Memphis, Tenn, and will be
effective into all parts of what is
known as the Carolina territory, that
IS. the section of the country east OF
Ashvillc. n. c., and south of Danville,
Va. The increase viii amount to from
3 cents to 10 cents per 100 pounds on
all fresh meats.
II is the first material raise in the
rates on foodstuffs made by the rail-
roads OF the country for n good many
years. 1t win mean much to the con-
sumers as it will probably result in
an increase of approximately l cent
pound on low grades of meats and per-
haps as much as 2 cents per pound on
the select cuts.
While the increase TO the consumer
in the territory affected by the pro-
posed rates Is noticeable. 1t is likely
that 1t is intended as a feeler of pub
lie sentiment, with view to making
general raise in rates on all COM
modities. 1t Is conceded by tariff ex-
perts of railroads that many OF the
commodity rates of American railroads
now in force are comparatively low
and 1t is regarded by those who have
studied the situation that in view of
the increased cost of railroad equip
ment and of every employee, it may DO
necessary to increase some of the
freight rates. This is a matter, how
ever, which the interstate. commence
commission probably Will inquire into
carefully TO determine whether the
rates proposed arc in any sense extern
sive or unreasonable. The increase of
rates on fresh meat into south
eastern territory is regarded as the en-
toring wedge OF a general increase on
all commodities and tho result OF the
inuqiry into the question raised Will
be awaited with interest

Are the birds actually more nuner-
GUS this spring. Many people say they
are. And Is this result due, in part, to
the teaching about birds, so recently
emphasized In many of the city ana
county schools9 We really believe It
is; and we therefore congratulate these
teachers of the public schools who have
made a start In this direction.
The "unbought grace of life" as

is TO possess some of tho truest in

In addition to this fine and true train

A SAVAGE CONCEPTION.

Prof. Goodwin Smith, Canada's
grand old man, is quoted as follows;
I'm few weeks Democrats and Re-
publicans will be organizing political
war against each other in a spirit hard
~ less belicose than that of actual
warfar with arsenals full of political
project. IS on both sides; while the
community will DO infiained, intrigue,
and perhaps not a little corruption OF
different kinds will he at work, ana
tho press on both sides will be blowing
the trumpets with more regard to effect
than truth"
1t Is to be regretted that, notwith
standing our civilization, we have not
advanced beyond the savage concep-
ton of an election as war" a bat
tle," a Conflict" In which one side
must be conquered" in order that the
other may get away with the spells"
Some day citizens will get together
and agree on public affairs like friends,
like members of the same family dis
GUESSING their common interests. Some
day selfshness In office seeking will be
overcome, and the generations that then
1--we will look back upon our crude mes
thods with about the same sentiment
that We read about the conditions pre-
vailing under feudalism.

FRoHMAN ON WHY PLAYS FAIL
San Francisco Bulletin.

why Plays Fair is the title Of a
recent article by Daniel Frohman; but
while Mr.. Frohman's article is interest
ting 1t fails to tell why plays fail.
Truth is, MIR. Frohman does not know
why plays fail. He knows why some
plays would fail If they were Produced;
but ha does not know why so many
plays fail that seem to an experienced
manager to have the elements of popn-
larity. Public taste Is capricious and
tickle. One success does not insure an,
other. George AIDE wrote two extra
ordinarily successful plays; ttlt his
third play was a dismal FROST" and
now his fourth, Father and the Boys"
has caught the public's fancy. Even
the most successful playwrights mako
frequent failures. Why did the latest
play of Augustus Thomas fall? IL
managers could answer this question
the business of producing plays would
ba indeed business, rather than a
series OF blind speculation.
