A Different Brand Needed.

Another charge brought against
the Democratic Cfflce-holders by our
wise (and Otherwise) Governor is
that they have heavily increased
the states expenses. Does the Gov
ernOr think the state is standing
still? If not, what better proof
would he want that we are advanc-
ing than increased expenses for
maintenance? AS long as the state
is progressing we can look with sat
iSfaction on an increasing expense
account. Our beautiful Governor
will have to put forth a different
brand of wisdom if he hopes to
continue in the limelight. - GLASGOW

FIRM FIGHTS EXPULSION
Seeks Injunction to Restrain
Cotton Exchange.

The argument by counsel for Edward
Moyse & Co. and the New York Cotton
Exchange on the motion OF the former for
taking steps to expei the firm from the
exchange was continued yesterday before
Justice Page. Decision was reserved.
The principal complaint of Moyse was
that the firm was not permitted to have
counsel present at the hearings of the
charges against it before the advisory COM
mittee of the lotion Exchange. Moyse de-
clared also that the committee was not CIV
ing fair chance of defence.
To this the counsel for the Cotton Ex-
change replied that the hint of prejudice
was not originally in the moving papers
and that it was an afterthought of the
petitioners counsel As for the exchange.
its bylaws provided against publicity in
proceedings of the kind now pending
against Moyse. Counsel for the exchange
added that he had advised against the ad-
mission of counsel in the case. which was
one based on a purely business PROPOSE
ton.
He said that the exchange meant to do
full Justice and if there was any evidence
of a pool to be introduced it would be ad-
nitted. He said the board of managers
of the Cotton Exchange consisted of eigh-
teen men. who had neither knowledge Of
the details of the charges nor prejudices.
AS it was the lawyer said, the exchange
officials had no knowledge of the pool.

CHRISTMAS ENDS A STRIKE
All Happy Except Non-Union Men,
Who Lose Their Jobs.

The far reaching effects of the merry
yuletide spirit were responsible for the set
tlement of a strike, and also for the with
drawal of case in the Supreme Court yes
terday which grew out of the strike.
The strike was declared several weeks
ago at the factory of Norris Green. manu-
facturer of leather goods, at No. 1856 Woos-
ter street. Green had employed non-union
men to take the places of the strikers.
When a committee representing the strikers
waited on Green last Saturday Green
agreed to take them back at their own
terms and discharge the non-union men.
This is the happy Christmas time" said
Green, "and we should all be on good
terms with each other"
Then the strikers, just to show their
good will made up a fund and bought
Green a fine Christmas present.
The final step in the happy proceedings
was taken yesterday in the Supreme Court,
when counsel for Green withdrew motion
for an order to compel the strikers TO
withdraw their pickets from in front of the
Green factory. So all the persons con-
cerned are merry, except the non-union
men, who are out Of their Jobs.

SHIP MAY BE LOST IN NORTH
Dispatch from Brigus, N. F., Expresses
Fear for the Jeanie's Safety.

In a dispatch to Herbert L. Bridgrnan
from Brigus. y. F., it is said that the
schooner Jeanie has not been heard from
for some time. and that she must be either
lost or frozen up in some port in Labrador
or in Hudson Bay. Last summer the
Jeanie was in the service or the Canadian
government for the supply of the Hudson
Bay police stations
The Jeanie was sent north In the sum-
mer of 1909 by friends of Harry Whitney
when he returned from a winter of arctic
hunting She now is owned by Mr. Bridg-
man and Captain Samuel W. Bartlett for
many years in the service of the Peary
Arctic Club She is in command of Harold
Bartlett a younger son of the captain.
The young man acted as engineer on her
cruise of a year ago.
His friends and those OF the crew are
hoping that mail from Port Churchill on
the western side of Hudson Bay. may bring
news of her and of her safety In winter
quarters. The Jeanie was uninsured.

TUG SINKS AT MOORINGS
Grew Vainly Try to Save Her, Pump
ing in Water Waist Deep.

The tug Leonard Richards, of the CahiIl
Towing Company, sank early yesterday
morning, without warning, while moored
to her pier in the Atlantic Basin South
Brooklyn, Peter Otter, the cook; John Mel
son, the fireman. and Oscar Peterson, a
deckhand, were on board asleep when the
tug began to fill, and barely escaped with
their lives.
The cook awoke to find two feet Of water
in his cabin. The pressure Of water against
the door made it impossible or him to open
it, so he crawfed through a window and
reused the others. The fires were ex.in-
guished. but the three men rugged a pump
and tried to save the boat. They worked
until up TO their waists in water, and then
swung themselves to the pier a moment
before the tug careened and sank.
Only two hours before sinking the Rich
ards had returned from a trip up the
Sound and when the men aboard her
turned in for the night she was believed
TO be perfectly seaWorthy. No one can tell
why she went down. The work of raising
her was begun yesterday afternoon by the
Merritt Chapman Wrecking Company.

LIMITING POTASH OUTPUT
Conservation a Mark for German
Discrimination, Says Writer.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II is true. as pointed out in The
Tribune's editorial and in its Washington
correspondence. that the potash difficulty
is complicated matter To this fact and
the activity of the German Kali syndicate
at Washington is no doubt due the mis-
takes in press discussion of the merits OF
the dispute
One of these mistakes is that the Ger
man tax law is a conservatism measure.
That is merely an afterthought to Justify
a discriminatory law As a matter of fact.
there is enough potash in sight to last
several thousand years. More than fifty
potash mines have started DEVELOPMENT in
the last seven months The syndicate s
effort has always been to limit production
not to conserve the potash deposits, but to
keep prices at an artificially high level
That the tax law was aimed directly at
the low price, non-syndicate producers and
their American buyers cannot be seriously
questioned The law was threatened as
soon as prices were cut to American buy
ers by mines that had broken away from
tfe syndicate These buyers could not be-
lieve, especially in view of the assurances
given by German officials that a law i'm
pairing pre-existing contracts would be
faocc&- nut after SSlIlnS the advantage
of our minimum schedules the influence
of the potash syndicate Gin which eight
German states are represented as mine
owners was sufficient to secure the pas
sage Of the tax law
The law does not bear hardest upon
Americans because they are the largest
consumers, but because Americans had the
low price contracts which it was the aim
of the law destroy
II seems plain that if Germany can 'un-
duly discriminate without suffering the
consequences, other nations will adopt the
same policy. Involved in the potash ques-
ton, therefore, is a broader issue and one
in which all foreign trade interests are
vitally concerned-were the maximum and
minimum provisions OF the law meant TO
be enforced, or may they be ignored with
impunity? It may also be pointed out that
undue discrimination will probably al
ways affect only an amount Of trade small
in comparison to the whole commerce with
any nation. D t PIERCE

cultural Corporation.
