Representative Moore Of Pennsyl-
vania. the author of the bill in ques-
ton, had long talk with Speaker can
non and Representative Payne of New
York. the majority floor leader, and
later Mr.. Moore and Chairman Smith
will have a more extended conference
with Speaker Cannon.
: Il think that my/bill strikes at the root
of this evil, said Mr.. Moore to Star
reporter today.
Il believe that if this investigation is
made thorough with respect to the Dis
trct of Columbia, the whole country
will benefit. We could not live here well
without warehouses, and l do not wish to
be recorded as an enemy to the ware
house system. But warehouses;, like
most everything else, must be regulated.
1t should not be permissible for
group of men to store great quantities
of perishable food products and hold
them. very often destroying any surplus
or overpl oductlon, uI.t4l the price Oh sucn
foodstuff becomes sufficiently high to be
attractive to them and induces them to
put their last quantity, which has re-
manned in storage awaiting this oppor-
tunity, on the market. l hope some
thing will be done in this line in the
near future"

To Consult Speaker.

Some time before the adjournment of
the House today Chairman Smith in
tends to have a talk with Speaker Can
non to talk over proposition Of a strict
ly local inquiry by his committee. He
already has talked on the subject with
members of the House who arc not mem
bers of the District committee, and he
finds them enthusiastic on the subject.
If the mere publication of the fact that
the District committee intended to take
up the Moore bill and invest gate the high
and increasing cost of foOdstuffs in the
District has the effect of reducing the
prices of such foodstutfs,'' said Mr.. Smith
today, 1T is interesting to speculate on
what the effect Of a rigid investigation
into the subject would be.
II do not believe we should delay this
any longer than is absolutely
necessary. The inquiry should be, far
as the District is concerned, compre-
hensivc and thorough If | have my way
the entire District committee and not
the subcommittee will do the work.

Text Of the Statement.

The officers OF the republican con-
gressional committee have stated very
precisely that it is beyond the province
of the committee to take any part in the
contest for nominations. Its only OBJ
ject, purpose and effort is to assist in
the election of republican members Of
Congress. In no instance has there
been, or will there be. any attempt on
the part of the committee to influence
the selection by the electors IN al. .o.-
gressional district Of their candidates
for Congress, with, however, this quail
iication:
1.-The committee believes it to be with
in it's province to distribute literature
upholding principles and policies oi the
republican party. supporting the Presi-
dent and his administration and giving
facts concerning completed and proposed
legislation. The committee believes it
to be within it's province to criticise and
condemn those who oppose the admin
istra ton and the acts Of the party, and
those who aid and give comfort to such
opponents.

And now comes the republican con-
gressional committee to take a fall out
of the republican, insurgents of the
House They have been harried by the
House organization, disowned by the
President, jolted by the patronage dis
pensins branch of the Post Office De-
partment. To all this is added clear
warning from the campaign managers
Of the republican party, on the eve of
the coming campaign for Congress. that
party regularity and solidarity will be
a prerequisite to the favor OF the cam
paign managers.
an official sta tcment issued by the re-
publican congressional committee, which
it is known has the approval of Presi-
dent Taft, states the attitude of the
committee toward insurgency
within the party.
1t follows.

When prominent insurgent senator
says that higher prices are due to the
tariff mentioning coal, food and shoes,
the people should be told that he is gross
~ ignorant or maliciously dishonest, as
the tariff was substantially reduced OH all

when Mr.. Bryan and democratic sem
Itors advised that no democratic nominal
iions be made against certain insurgcnt
members, as such insurgents arc at heart
and by voice and vote good enough dem
ocrats. then IL would Seem that it Is not
only the province OF every republican
committee. but every republican paper to
tell the trith about the situation Insur-
gent senators and representative have
openly boaSted that they would have their
own way even If il put the democratic
party II power. III one state at least the
insurgents are trying to defeat the repub-
Leans III every congressional district. and
will be supported by the democrats in

Party Pledge on Tariff.

"A single illustration will suffice. The
last republican national platform pledged
the party to revision OF the tariff. Such
revision was made at the earliest oppor-
tunity. AS all tariff measures always
have been, and must be, the bill was a
compromise. 4 large majority of re-
publcans in both Senate and House be-
lieved sincerely that 1t might have been
more protective in some respects than 1t
was. and yet in spirit of Cancellation
gave way and adopted many duties very
near the danger line to American labor.
But all such protectionists, at whatever
sacrifice to the interests of their districts,
for the sake of passing bill and reliev-
ing the financial and commercial inter-
ests Of the country from further suspense
and loss. voted for the conference report
and the party measure was signed by the
President.
..The President, Vice President, the
Sneaker and many other republican lead
ers have stated that the present law is
the best tariff we have ever had, and the
results of its operation confirm that
statement

Restoration of Prosperous Year.

Under five months operation of the
new tariff law We have not only recover
ed fully from industrial depression, but
i'm spite Of low returns during the first
seven months the year 1909 in many
features broke all records. Production
and distribution in many lines are now
unprecedented.
There is in all portions Of the country
a full volume OF employment and in many
centers a scarcity of labor. Wages are
at a high level and savings the highest
ever known. Customs receipts have in
creased over S3O,WU,OOO since July 1 and
total revenue by $.J,O0OOoO. There was
an excess of revenue over expenditures
during December
1.-THE wisdom and judgment of a re-
publican Congress and republican
President has been fully vindicated. The
tariff law Is the best we ever had, and
under its operation we are having the
largest measure Of financial and indus
trial success We have ever experienced.
Farm products for 1869, though not
so great in quantity as in some preced-
Il bill ion in excess of any preceding year.
This is due to the operation of the new
tariff in giving an increased purchasing
power 10 the people.
THE republican congressional commit
tee believes ii to be within its province
to call attention 10 these facts and to re-
flute the claims of insurgents who voted
against the bill and who continue to as
sert that the tariff was not revised in ac-
cordancc with republican pledges. and is
not u successful and beneficial law.

TRYING TO END MILK WAR
Governor Draper Arranges Conference
With Boston Contractors

Boston, May 2.-Another attempt
will be made by Governor Draper to-
day to prevent the milk famine with
which Boston is threatened. He has
arranged a conference at the state
house with the five large contractors
of Boston who control, to all practical
purposes, the milk business of New
England. Draper hopes he can per-
suade the contractors to consent to
arbitration of their differences with
the farmers.
Thousands of quarts of milk were
held back from shipment yesterday by
the angry New England farmers, but
the contractors declare that plenty OF
milk will be available from other
sources even if the strike should last
year, or all the New England farm
ers turn their mich cows into beef
and hides.

LABOR STRIFE

TROLLEY STRIKE THREATENED

OVef FOuT InouSanO on Lines OPeT-

Building Trades Crippled by
Strike of Carpenters and Laborers-
Railroads Have Some Troubles
Boston, May MAY day, gener-
ally regarded as the first day in the in
dustrial year, finds in New England
numerous disagreements between en-
ployers and employees. Nearly TO-
900 working people are today at odds
with their employers, largely because
of demanded wage increases.
The 1900 union trolleymen employed
in Springfield, Worcester and in other
places in western Massachusetts, and
in Connecticut on street railway lines
operated by the New England Invest
ment and Security company, a trolley
holding company for the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
await only the sanction of their ma
tional officers before calling a strike
in furtherance of their demands for an
increase in wages.
The situation there is in contrast to
that elsewhere in New England, a
number of street railway lines in the
past few months having voluntarily
granted advances in wages ranging
from to 10 percent.
The building trades in Providence,
Pawtucket, Newport and Auburn, in
Rhode Island, and in Fall River were
crippled this morning by the declared
strike of about $500 carpenters and Ia
borers, seeking principally increases
in wages. In Fitchburg, Gardner and
Leominster, Mass, and in Portland
Me-, the carpenters may strike for
the same reason. About 700 men are
involved in these latter places.
OF strikes which were in progress
prior to today there are several. The
trouble in the mills of the Internation-
al Paper company, now several months
old, still continues, although proper
tionately few men are out. The 20(
operatives at the Saltwater wooler

The same number of women operative
at the Roxbury carpet mills have beer

mands for a 25 percent increase il

In addition to these disagreements
in which an open rupture between EN-
ployer and employe has taken place o
is seemingly imminent, there ar
pending the adjustments of a numbe
of increased wage requests. The of
ficials of the New Haven road hav,

patch to Gen. Harrison Gray Otis of
the Los Angeles Times:
"The board of directors of the Asso-

tends to you an expression of its deep
est sympathy in the dreadful loss of
life incident to the recent attack on
your property. We feel sure that your
splendid energy and executive ability
and loyal and brave American com
munity will enable you to meet and
overcome the difficulties of the situa-
tion and in your work of restoration
you have our best wishes and our cor
dial Godspeed. We join in the univer-
sal popular condemnation of the hor-
rible manner in which you have been
made the victim of methods employed
by the worst enemies Of civilized So
ciety, and we hope the perpetrators
may be apprehended and punished"
The board also adopted resolutions
of coincidence and regret on the death
