Rainey, Of Illinois, to Ask Light on
Bethlehem Iron Trouble.
Washington, March 11.-An investi-
cation by congress of the strike at the
Bethlehem Iron Works is to be pro-
posed in resolution which Represen-
tative Rainey, of Illinois. is preparing
to introduce Mr.. Rainey asserts that
the strike has been in progress since
Feb. 4; that 5000 men have been en-
ployed at the works upon government
armor contracts; that the construction
of warships is being retarded and that
the failure to deliver material is piling
up claims against the government with
the sfipbuilders at a rapid rate. Only
recently the Cramps were allowed s42,
900 against the government because
material had not been promptly de-
livered for use upon warships.
Mr.. Rainey claims that the labor
at the plant is paid less than one-half
the wages paid skilled artisans at 9TH
er plants in this country and Canada,
and he asserts he is preparedNo show
that by the time the present govern
ment contracts with the concern are
filled the cost the plant will have been

TARIFF WAR POSSIBLE.
France Must Make Haste to Get U. s.
Minimum Rates.


Minimum Rates.
Washington, Ma<ch lit is frank
ly admitted by treasury officials that
the tariff situation between the United
States and France is rapidly assuming
serious aspects.
At the present time practically every
article exported by the United States
to France is subjected by that country
to its maximum tariff. In several cases,
as in the instance of cottonseed oil, this
tariff is directed particularly. almost
exclusively, against the United States.
There is need for haste in pushing the
negotiations if tariff war is to be
avoided in this quarter, because the
French parliament, which alone can
make concessions, will adjourn its
present sessions March %.
If nothing is done at that time to
enable President Taft to issue proc
lamation, extending to France the ben
eft of the American minimum tariff, all
importations into this country from
France will, after March 81, be as
sessed at the maximum tariff, which is
25 per cent above the lower rate. If
this should happen it undoubtedly will
be a serious matter for France, whose
trade with the United States is ex-
tensive.

Hamilton County AsricuIturaIists Talk
Of Forming Association.
Webster City, March 11.-A move
ment toward forming farmers club
is being agitated among the agricultur-
alists Of Hamilton county. The mission
of the organization will be for mutual
protection from the harvester and
binder-twine trust. The farmers of the
territory contiguous to Webster City,
who have been talking the matter
over and circulating it around
among the different townships. look
upon the club idea with favor and It
is probable that the proposition will
take some tangible form before sum-
mer arrives. The high price of bin
der twine in the past and the intima-
tion by the dealers that the cost would
be much greater the coming fall. is
said to be responsible for turning the
thoughts of the farmers toward the
forming of some sort Of an association
or club for mutual protection and ben
eft, not alone as concerns the matter
ef twine. but in all lines of farm work.

the taking over Of the Western Union
by the telephone company were de-

The Telegram Merger
The important activities include the
purchase of substantial interest in
the Western Union Telegraph Com

million dollars of bonds into stock. the
increase in the number of sharehold-
ers by over nine thousand during the
year, and the rearrangement of terri
tories of some Of the associated COM
panies in accordance with state or
geographical boundaries.
The report shows further that the
shares of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company are not largely
concentrated in the hands of few in
dividuals; and that improvements in
plant and operating methods are more
responsible for reduction in rates than
competition: and that there is within
reach of almost if not every one de-
