DEBATE PlECEMEAL REVISION
Associated PressJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The senate
today listened to the first tariff debate
of the session, and while the discussion
was largely academic, it served to de-
velop the important fact that Messrs
Lodge and Aldrich are willing to join in
the piecemeal revision of the tariff.
The subject came up on a motion to
refer to the committee on rules the
Cummins joint resolution providing for
the limitation of the power to amend
bills looking TO the modification of par
agraphs and schedules of the Payne
Aldrich bill.
Mr. Cummins occupied the floor in
support OF the provision, but he was
interrupted so frequently that the dis
cussion partook largely of the nature of
n running debate. 1t was in this dis
cussion that Messrs. Lodge and Aid
rich found occasion to announce their
respective positions
Mr.. Lodge favored amendment, but
he said he would prefer taking up the
question by subjects rather than by
schedules. He was emphatic in his
opposition to the Iowa senators 5 method
of proceeding, which contemplates al
teration of the rules of both house and
senate by joint resolution. Senator
Hale did not participate in the debate.
1t is expected he will oppose the Cum
minis program.
SENATE RIGHTS DEBATED
Much attention was given today to
the right of the senate to interfere in
any way in the formation OF house
rules, and of the senate to amend reVe-
nue. bills, which, under the constitu-
tion, must originate in the house. Mr..
Aldrich fatty announced his opposition
to any course that would circumscribe
the house, and Mr.. Cummins interpret~
ed this remark as a declaration in sup
port of the right of the Democratic.
house Of the next congress to outline
its own policy without interference.
The Iowa senator said he desired to
keep politics out of the question.
Mr.. Cummins severely censured the
senate practice of building up bills to
its own liking on measures supplied by
the house. Mr. Aldrich did not follow
him in this contention.
you are sailing into a very broad
sea-" he remarked.
well, if L find myself in a port
where my vessel is infected with some

senator from Rhode Island, the senat-
or is liable 10 remain in the open for

AS the Iowa senator proceeded to de-
velop his opposition to senatorial
amendments TO tariff bills, he was an
tagonized by Mr. Aldrich, who went so
far as to declare the doctrine revolu-
tionary.

right of equal representation" he de-
Clared.
Mr.. Cummins contended that unless
the rules of the two houses were
amended there would be no possibility
of amending the tariff, with the conse

Kirby, Jr., Discuss open Shop
at Portland Banquet
BIG ORGANIZATION is URGED
AngeIeno AvoWS Conditions Re-
quire 100 Per Cent of Labor
365 Days in the Year
ASSOCIATED Press>

PORTLAND. Ore, Dec. 13.-The open
shop problem as it confronts the en-
ployers of the Pacific coast was the
means last night of bringing 500 mem
bers Of the Employers association Of
oregon together at a dinner in the
rooms of the Commercial club.
Addresses on labor topics were deliv-
cred by John Kirby, ir., president of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers; Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, pro-
prietor of the Los Angeles Times, and
others.
Mr.. Kirby spoke at considerable
length on the open shop, and talked
of the tactics of the unions throughout
the country. AS a means of curbing
the alleged aggressions of unions ON the
Pacific coast, Mr.. Kirby advocated the
organization of employers associations
in every city on the coast, with a cen
tral association, and a fixed line of
action.
General Otis, in a measure. took issue
with Mr.. Kirby in the matter of the
open shop, and declared there was peril
in such a method of overcoming the
growth and activities of the unions,
because, he said, where both union
and non-union men are employed dan
ger lies in the secret work of the union
employees on the nOn-unlOn men, ana
some day the employer will be con-
fronted with a demand for the union
shop"
OTIS TALKS ON LABOR
General Otis declared he had never
opposed the organization of unions, but
questioned the wisdom of such organ
ization as not in the end being for the
best interests of the union members.
He declared true economical conditions
required the employment "of 100 per
cent of labor $50 days in the year."
condition which he said was impossible
in the present day of union activities.
General Otis declared the non-union
man entitled to the protection of the
government, if he is doing the honest
and lawful thing, even to the extent of
using the forces of the army and navy"
"Unorganized labor" he said, 'is en-
titled to all the rights demanded by or
ganized labor"
Max Schmidt, proprietor of one of
the large lithographing and printing
establishments of San Francisco, told
of the operation of the open shop prin-
ciple in his establishment, and in clos
ing urged the cooperation of Pacific
coast cities to obtain for San Francisco
the Panama exposition in 1915. He said
the time to discuss the matter of the
open shop in relation to the exposition
was after the exposition was of n GER
tainty to be held in San Francisco.

Dairy Maids and Farmer
Boys Made Into Fine Actors

LONDON. April 21.-The most
interesting theatrical experiment
for years has occurred at the small
village of Aldbourne, Wiltshire, in
the heart of the country districts
OF England. There a bold man by
the name of Chas. McEvoy, Is en-
deavoring to set up repertory
theater and has already produc-
ed with great success a play called
The Village Wedding"
McEvoy himself wrote the play
but every character in 1t was por-
trayed by the village tillers of the
soil and dairy maids. For months
past country yokels, instead Of
spending their evenings in the viii
lage inn, have given up all their
time to rehearsals. The country
maidens of the district have fore
gone night strolls with their sweet
hearts for the same purpose.
Thefirst performance was an
enormous success. All the dramat-
ic celebrities of London were there
to witness it, and they left
charmed. Bernard Shaw, England's
up-to-date dramatist, praised both
the piece and the acting up to the
skies. Granville Barker, the au-
thor-actor. who is producing the
plays of Chas. Frohman's reperotry
theater in London, went further.
He said that London theaters had
tried all sorts of experiments both
in the way of plays and play
wrights. Neither had ct succeed
ed in making the drama in Eng
land a living force; he looked to
enterprises like that at Aldbourne
to make the play the real influence
it should be in the national life of
England.
So great has been the success of
this troupe of rural talent that it
is proposed to bring them to Lon
don. UP to now they have played
in a theater constructed from a
,disused mailing house. s
