Lthography differs from engraving and

based primarily on the lack of affinity

Then when the stone is prepared by a
chemical bath it is rolled with ink and
passed through a press which literally
scrapes off the impression on the overlaid

the printing, but on the whole the meth

tellers Of the balloting in the election OF

the vote by local unions. because of the
protests of his opponents that many
unions had cast more votes than their
membership authorized.
John H. Walker. president-elect of the
Illinois district. declared that the conven-
ton had had no opportunity to act on the
report of the tellers. and that the admin
istration despite all precedent had in
terpreted the constitution TO CONFER SUI

President Lewis replied that the con-

Marks Dividing Line.

sWashington is located on the dividing
line between the north and the south, and
i would suggest that in shaping the In
dustrial and commercial future Of the
city particular attentiOnsshouldb be given
to those conditions and tendencies which
/ believe make the south one of the most
important fields. If not the most impor-
tant, for the development of markets for
Hhe manufacturers and merchants of
Washington.
The south Is region wonderfully
rich In natural resources. Its climatic
and soil conditions are such that it can
grow profitably all of the products Of the
temperate zone and some that cannot
he produced in the colder parts OF the
country. 1t has almost a monopoly in
the production of the cotton supply of the
world, and the seed of the cotton plant,
formerly a waste product has become a
valuable commercial commodity. 1t pro-
duces fruits and vegetables far in ex-
cess Of its own needs and is shipping
them in annually increasing quantities
to northern markets. Its forests furnish
the raw material for furniture manu-
featuring and woodworking in all lines
and supply bark. and extracts for grow
ing tanning industry. 1t has an album
dance of iron ore and coal sufficient to
last for centuries and its waterpower re-
sources are such as to make possible a
very large development of cheap hydro
electric power.

Future Posi- bilities.

'I do not mean to be understood as ad-
vising that Washington should look to
the south exclusively for markets, but
know the present situation and the fu-
ture possibilities Of that section.
Without attempting to cover the en-
tire field, We may gather suggestions as
10 some lines OF manufacturing for south
ern markets that might successfully he
established in Washington by considering
the character of articles now being
shipped TO that section from points not
anore advantageously situated than this
city. The list includes a large variety
of the products of what may be termed
tho small crafts. such clothing for
men, women and children. hats caps, mil
linery, canned goods, hardware. soap and
a. large variety of what are known as
specialties, fertilizers. wagons and re-
frigerators. The opportunity for the es-
Establishment of soap industry would
seem 10 be particularly favorable as a
large cottonseed oil plant has recently
been established on the opposite side of
the Potomac river, which would supply
raw material for soap factory.

Wholesale Trade.

Closely related with the business Of
manufacturing and direct distribution
from factories Is distribution through
wholesale houses. Whether or not enough
enterprise has been put into 1t am not
prepared to say, but l am disposed to be-
lieve that there are opportunities for a
larger development of the distributing
business at Washington, particularly in
the Shenandoah valley and in other parts
of Virginia. In this business, of course,
when II is carried to any considerable
distance south of Washington your mer-
chants meet sharp competition. not only

but from those at local interior distribute

Mr. Finley discussed the TRANSFORMATION
facilities of Washington. and declared
that Washington merchants should get
together with the officials of the carriers
and tllresh out their difficulties. In this
manner, he said they would act in the
interests of each other. He said that they
must not lose sight of the fact that rail
snd water transportation cannot be dis

Foreign Capitals as Examples.

Mr.. Finley secuted the idea that the
industrial development of the city would
injure 1t as beautiful residential city.
lie pointed to the beauties of foreign cap
itals-I1ondon and Paris-which have great
commercial development at the same time.
and said the people of Washington had
almost entirely neglected the suburban
life which has grown up around the COM
mercial and industrial cities of the coun-
Try and whose development is dependent
upon the existence of a considerable pop
ulation with local business interests, re-
ouiring permanent residence.
In further discussion of his theme Mr..
Finley said:
Il believe that one of the principal rea-
sons why the people OF Washington
should favor industrial and commercial
development is that it would open wide
field Of opportunity for the young men of
the community. In many Washington
families the question of what shall he
done with the boys is very serious. The
field OF employment outside of the govern
ment service is very limited.

Voicing the need Of greater industrial
and broader commercial development for
Washington, President William W. Fin
ley Of the Southern railway addressed a
distinguished audience at a dinner given
by the Commercial Club of Washington
last night. Mr.. Finley urged the bust
ness men of the city to stand shoulder to
shoulder in the fight for greater industrial
development and pledged the assistance
of the railways in the movement.
The industrial development of Washing
ton, said Mr.. Finley, had been handi-
capped from the start, when Washington
was founded with the single end in view
of providing a seat of government. He
said that the founding of the city, pri-
marly. as a seat Of government and its
location in a district exclusively under
federal control. have tended to disasso-
ciate it from the commercial and indus
trial life of the country. The National
Capital has, therefore, grown along gov
crnmental and residential lines olIt of all
proportion to its industrial growth. With
the wealth and opportunity here it is high
time, said Mr.. Finley, that the CONNER
cial side of the city should expand.
