VAN CLEAvE SEES MENACE
Tolls Manufacturers country's Pros
perity Is Endangered by Possibility
of Glass Legislation in Favor Of La
Dor Unions.

New York, May iS--Discussion Of
the labor problsm was the feature OF
todaXs session of the convention of the
National Association of Manufacturers
President Van Cleave spoke in protest
against the possibility of special legis-
lation in favor of organized labor,
pleading for consideration of the sub
ject on the ground that such legIsla-
ton would constitute q menace to the
country's welfare.
Reviewing the fight of the assocIa-
tion against class legislation" Van
Cleave urged the necessity or further
precautions. Financial confidence Is
reviving and there is Improvement in
the most important lines of trade" he
said. "Unwise labor legislation, how
ever could quickly check this trade
uplift. Here Is direct peril from the
program which the American Fedora
ton of Labor leaders promise to re-
sumo before congress in the coming
winter"
Van Cleave said the prospects for the
establishment of a tariff commission
by the present congress were good, in
his belief. If the manufacturers of the
nation did their part in urging the plan
upon the law makers at Washington.
The committee on interstate COM
merce presented n report emphasizing
the folly of recent anti-rairoad legis-
lation In many of our states. especi-
ally the arbitrary 2-cent-amile ass.
Speaking of tariff revision. the com
mittee deplores national extravaganza
to be the cause for the 800. 900, 600 de-
ticit, and the consequent necessity Of
increased taxation. 1t suggests that
duties on crude materials and steel
might safely have been further re-
duced to the advantage of the general
manufacturing interest. Revenue
needed to restore the estimated $780,
GGG. 600 deficit could have been in n
considerable measure made up from
moderate duties on tea and coffee. of
which the consumer need be hardly
conscious. and by an inheritance tax,
as recommended by the president" the
report suggests.

finance to conduct an investigation in
to the wholesale and retail prices of
senate today at some length. Gore said
he wished to have the statements con-
corning the extortionate prices of retail
dealers fully probed so the country
might know just where responsibility
for high prices rests.
Aldrich said it was evident such in
vestigation as that contemplated by the
resolution could not be conducted be-
fore the pending tariff bill was dis
posed Of, but he had no objection to
such investigation being undertaken.
Carter pointed out the fact that in do
ing this work the finance committee
would necessarily cover the same
ground which the proposed tariff COM
mission would cover.

After considering for nearly two
weeks the controversy between the
zinc producers and smelters, the SEN

and pig zinc. Amendments were COM
pleted which will be introduced in the

RAILROAD TIED UP
Tunnell at Tennessee Pass, Colorado,
Caves In for 500 Feet, Blocking
Traffic on the Denver & Rio Grande
Indefinitely.

Denver, May 1S.-Nearly 500 feet of
the famous tunnel over Tennessee
Pass, on the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, located about five miles west
Of Leadville, caved in last night. There
were no casualties, but the tracks will
be blocked several days.
The cave-in occurred about 1000
feet from the portal of the tunnel and
undoubtedly was caused by the melting
Of the extremely heavy SHOWS. Altho
heavily timbered thruout, the tunnel
always was carefully watched, and
precautions had been doubled during
the last few weeks. At the offices of
the chief engineer Of the Denver &
Rio Grande railway it was confidently
expected that traffic thru the tunnel
would be restored within forty-eight
hours.

Washington, May 1S.-The bureau of

which fastens the blame for the recent
outbreak of the foot and mouth dis
ease in Michigan, New York, Penn
sylvania, and Maryland on contain
mated strain Of vaccine, which orig
inlly came from foreign country.
The disease was traced by inspectors
of the bureau TO calves that had been
used for vaccine by a Detroit firm of
manufacturing chemists.
The report sets forth the belief that
the epidemic of foot and mouth dis
ease, which it cost the federal gov

started by these calves at Detroit
while they were undergoing treatment
with vaccine imported from abroad
