TYPOTHETAEF FAVORS
TAKING UNIONISTS
New York Branch Favors
More Liberal View of
Open Shop" Ideas.

NEW YORK, aug. 22.-PTesidcut Rob-
ert SchsIkenback and Secretary Charles
w. Smith, Of the New York Typothetae,
issued a circular yesterday in reference
10 the proposed policy Of the United
Typothetae NJ America, which was
agreed en- az the monthly meeting OF the
New York Typothetae. and will be sub
mitted az the national convention of the
typothetae when il meets in September.
This plan embodies a more liberal con-
struction OF the open-shop ideas. This
matter is regarded as the most impor-
tant subject in its bearing on the future
policy OF the Organization which VIII
come before the convention.
The circular SAYS:
I'VE believe that the United Typo
thetae of America should remain an as
sociation broad enough IN It's policy 10
include all printers. Whatever their opin-
ions concerning the eXpediency or mex
pediency OF employing union labor OF
making union contracts.
The United Typothetae OF America
must always ophgate Itself ana It's
money 20 the support and defense or Its
members who believe in and operate
open shops That attitude must never
be laid aside. Yet, without torsakin6
this purpose. IL IS possible for US 10
operate our association on a basis broad
enough 70 include all master printers
who are awake TO the value and impor-
tance of thorough organization.
The Chicago plan interprets the open
shop IN its most liberal sense. and pro-
vides that the members who have strict
open shops. and do not recognize the
union, shall be the only active members,
Those who recognize and make agree
ments with the union. according 10 this
plan, are to be known as sustaining
members" and will have no -Ste In

penitentiary at Trenton, where he serv-
ed a commuted four-year term for de-

The former friend who saw him de-
ciared that Cordova is penniIess and

giving way.
1t was also learned today that imme-
diately after COrdOva reached Philadel-
phia from Trenton, he wrote to Miss
Bovine, who is living with her father
at North Asbury Park, rearing the
three-year-old boy, OF whom CordOva is
the father. In his letter he said he was
coming for her, but he received a reply
from her father, threatening to kin him
if he appeared at North Asbury Park.
The man who saw Cordoya IN PhfIa-
delphia wrote to some of the members
OF his old flock at South River, declar-
ing that the ex-minister ought to be
examined to determine his mental con-

est alarm in the following clause in our
platform:
'' Gradual reduction should be made
in such other schedules as may be
necessary to restore the tariff to a rev
enue basis
He regards this threatened departure
from the protective system as fatal We
are brought face to face with the theo-
retlcal difference between the positions
OF the two parties on the subject OF
tariff. The Democratic party regards
q tariff law as a revenue law. the pro
lection IL gives being incidental the
Republican party regards a tarih law
as framed primarily for protection, the
revenue being incidental. As the eTLeCt
OF q given rate on a particular article
is the same, whether levied for the
purpose of revenue or for the purpose
of protection. II may be well 10 denne
the difference between q revenue tarlh
and a protective tarin-
"a revenue tariff Is so framed as 70
collect a revenue and you stop when
YOU get enough; protective taFlIL may
be 50 framed as 20 collect buI ALJle
revenue. and yet lay a heavy burden
upon the people-and you never know
when TO stop. To illustrate: A tarin
may be made so righ as TO absolutely
prohibit importation II, in such a case
the manufacturers yield to the Tempta-
ton mentioned by Mr.. Taft and com
bine 20 take advantage Of the duty, the
consumers will be heavily taxed, ana
yet none Of the money Will reach the
Treasury.
Points Out Case.
Let US suppose another case: If we
import one-tenth Of a certain kind OF
merchandise and produce at home nine
tenths and the imported and domestic
articles sell at the same price, then the
Treasury receives duty on the foreign
article and th' manufacturers collect
nine times as I,iuch on the domestic ar
tlcIe as the Treasury collects on the
one-tenth imported. II becomes a mat
ter of great importance, therefore, to
the people at large, whether the tariff
IS intended 10 raise a revenue or Is
framed in the interest OF the manufac-
| turers and for the purpose Of prOtec-
ton. No one would think Of employing
/ IN a city, a county, or State, tax
system under which the bulk OF the tax
4 would go 10 the collectors, and yet the
Republican leaders demand the coutinu-
/ anee OF a system under which the pro-
| tected interests receive far more than
half the money collected from the peO'
! pie through the operation of q high
