PULP AND PAPER WORKERS.
Mills East Of Niagara and From Cana
da Represented at Portland.

Portland. Me, May 11.-About 100
delegates from mills in the states east
of Niagara Falls and in Canada We're
present at the opening today of the
biennial convention of the Internation-
al Brotherhood OF Pulp, Sulphite and
Paper Mill Workers. They represented
48 local unions.
The following resolution, addressed to
the United States Senate committee on
finance, was unanimously adopted:
THE International Brotherhood of
Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Workers Union
in convention assembled in Portland. Me.
desire to most emphatically protest to
you against the removal of the duty on
paper and pulp. The present duty is the
only protection the paper and pulp max
ing employees in the United States have
against the cheap labor of Canada, Nor
way and Sweden. We believe that to re-
move the duty would greatly injure the
Industry and work irreparable injury to
the American paper and pulp mill work
ers. Considerable progress has been made
in establishing q standard s. and 9-hour
day with living wage and lower duty
would prevent us from spreading or per-
haps maintaining this system Nearly 1OO.-
900 American citizens would be directly
affected and great numbers of them
would be obliged to seek employment
elsewhere or emigrate to Canada. This
we are anxious to avoid and our conven-
ton here assembled rely on you to help
US"
The convention also went on record as
opposing an import tax on pulp wood.

to her first prison breakfast and ate
heartily. She was given permission by
the matrOn. to make cushions and other
fancy work for her cell and materials
were promised her if she cared to do
so. 1t will be determined today, after
a physical examination what character
of work she will be given. Probably
she will be placed either in the kitchen
or in the seating room.
Boyle slept we'll last night also. He
ate heartily at breakfast and submitted
cheerfully to the barber. who cropped
his hair closely Bertillon photographs

From all reports that have been re-

be taken following the statement of
Boyle last night The Mercer county
officials discredit the statement and the
whole matter probably will be allowed
to drop and be forgotten.
