cultivation the country is now producing
something like 70 per cent of the raw ma
terial 1t uses, and IL properly farmed, the
crop could be enormously increased.
The native cotton is of a short staple.
II is brought here in boats upon the
fangtze Kiang and its tributaries. and also
IN seagoing junks from Ningpo and the
lands farther south. 1t is put up in bags
OF enormous size. but so loosely packed thai
one twice as large as q feather bed weighs
only 200 pounds. 1t is loaded n unloaded
by coolies, who carry it upon their heads
from the ships to the factory.
Other farmers ship their raw cotton in
basket-work bales the size Of a hogshead.
The bales are opened in the cotton yards
and the lint is sometimes rebaled in pack
ages OF 500 pounds for export to the United
states and Europe. The nature of the
native cotton makes 1t especially good for
underwear, and some Of 1t is sent to the
United States for that purpose.

Cotton Yarn for Hand Looms.

This factory works day and night. and
there are quite as many children employed
in the night shift as in the daytime. One
thousand hands are always busy Sunday
and week days, all the year through. It's
chief product is cotton yarn for the do
nestle weavers. This is made up into bun>
dies, which are then packed into bales of
400 pounds each, and shipped all over the
country. The yarn is woven into cloth on
hand looms, and 1t supplies a large part
Of the clothing OF the common people. 1t
comes into competition with the mills of
India and Japan, and also with those which
are now starting up in the other parts of
China. I am told there are something like
10000 spindles now working upon such
yarn at Shanghai, and also a large num-
Der at Ningpo and Soochow, There is one
big mill at Hangchow, one at Canton, and
some at Hongkong, Wuchang and Hankow.

learn to handle the modern machinery.

they are and have been active in the

THE GOVERNORS CONFERENCE
Adjourns, After Having Considered :
Variety of Subjects.

Washington, Jan. 20.-After making
concrete pins for future cOnclaves the
conference of governors adjourned to-
day to meet at one of the capitals on
a date between Thanksgiving day and
Christmas of the current year, the
exact time and place to be determined
by committee which was appointed.
The final sessions of the conference
were marked by divergence of views
among the governors as to the wis
dom of the state executives as body
adopting resolutions for or against any
given proposition. Eventually all reg
olutions calling for a formal expression
of opinion by the governors as a body
were left in Obeyance. A sub-commlt-
tee of the League of Self-supporting
Women of New York submitted
statement to the conference, recon-
mending that the political status of
women in their states be made one of
the topics for full discussion at the
nuXt meeting of governors. The con-
ference unanimously adopted the re-
port of the committee on plans and
scope, which was submitted by Gov
ernor Hughes of New York
Governor ShafrOth of Colorado in
troduced a resolution stating that it
was the sense of the conference that
the control and regulation of water
powers should rest in the state This
was referred to the committee con-
sisting of Cows. ShafrotE. Hughes and
Weeks of Connecticut, which however,
was unable to report and the matter
will probably be taken up at the next
conference.
Governor Brady of Idaho addressed
the conference on irrigation, Gov
Ansel of South Carolina followed with
an address or "Extradition," while
mining" was the topics OF Gov Sloane
of Arizona. Governor Davidson told
the conference of Wisconsin's efforts to
conserve its natural resources.
Governor Draper of Massachusetts,
spoke on developing discussion of
wide range in regard to good roads.
Former Senator Dryden of New Jer-
sey read before the conference a reso-
luton adopted by the Association of
Life Insurance Presidents requesting
he Conference of Governors to devote
its attention to uniformity in state
insurance laws.

Claim Is Made by Secretary Of Tariff
Reform League, Who Cites Continued

Returns Give UnionistS Cain Of II.

The chancellor said it was remarkable
that the most progressive commercial
communities voted for free trade. Birm-
ingham voted neither for free trade nor
protection. but simply stood by her
greatest citizen.
Premier Asquith at Fifeshire declared
that one thing was certain, the great in
dustrial centers would not give to the
new Parliament any mandate or author
ity to interfere with the system of free
trade. Except in few isolated coses.
like Birmingham and Liverpool all had
given an emphatic verdict in favor of
free trade.
The secretary of the Tariff Reform
League issued a proclamation tonight,
saying:
.'Today's Unionist victories conclusively
prove that free trade is losing it's hold
on the country. We attribute our success
in the artisan district not to free trade,
but to the alliance of the Socalistic party
with the Radicals. In straight contest
between tariff reform and the present
system. tariff reform would triumph. The
political fight of the future will be be-
tween tariff reform and Socialism,
Exciting scenes followed the declaration
of the poll at Buckingham, where the
Liberal candidate, F.. w. Nerney. son or
Lord Vcrney, won by a narrow margin.
The enraged Unionists chased several
prominent Liberals. who took refuge IN
the nearby houses. A stone broke the
glass in a motor car in which Lady YER

was rioting at Belfast, where 30 persons
were arrested on the charge of imperson-
