Manufacturing

Manufacturing
 "The cost of manufacturing wooden and worsted yarns and cloth in the United States is much higher than in Europe.
 "The material is increased in price by the duty on raw wool. The manu- facturer who imports his wool must pay the full amount of the duty. Wools grown in the United States are in creased in value by the duty but not by the full extent of the duty Wages are much higher in the United States but wages are in themselves no nec- essary indication of relative cost of production. Frequently it is found that high wages and low labor costs go together.
 "It appears that this particular in dusty is one in which the high ele- ments of costs in this country are not in general offset by any particular ad- vantage or by any marked superiority in the efficiency of labor. To a certain extent European countries have the ad- vantage of us in this latter regard.
 It may be said then that, taking the industry as a whole, the American manufacturer practically has no ad- vantage in efficiency of labor and equipment over his foreign competitor. On certain specialties the largest and most efficient American mills are able by skillful organization materially to reduce the difference in cost" A large proportion Of machinery used is made abroad. Of the 35,000 employees in the wool industry in this country Ca per cent were born in foreign countries and more than S3 per cent had no previous experience in mechanical in- dustry.
 The tariff boards report of it's investi- gation of the wool industry struck rough
 water as soon as it reached the demo- cratic House. An attempt was made to have the re- port referred to the ways and means com mittee of the House without printing
 Republican leaders demanded that the | whole report be printed at once. In the absence of Democratic Leader Underwood, Representative Randall ol
 Texas said the ways and means commit tee wanted to pass on the documents l first and determine what should be print | ed. He pointed to seven huge packages | Republican Leader Mann asked if ii 1 was the intention of the democrats to delay the publication of the tariff board report
 Both the message and the report finally
 were left on the speakers table until to- morrow. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee is expected | to be in the city tomorrow and members | of the committee will go over the report | and determine what parts the democrats will consent to have printed | Representative Randell said there was | no purpose to prevent publicity of the | boards findings. but that many parts oi | the report would not be worth printing for general distribution.

view of administration and revenue in the case of a crude, bulky commodity like wool, produced in many remote re- gions and finding its way into the mar kets through so many various chan nels of trade.
 That furthermore, an ad valorem rate would give high duty per pound when prices are high; that is, when the consumer most needs relief and the producer is most able to bear com petition. With low price of wool the duty per pound would be low; thar is, at the time when the consumer has little need of competing wools and the producer is least able to bear compe- tition.

 Major Sexton had just turned into Magnolia avenue and was running at third speed. Dr. Fox was running also at low rate of speed in the op- posite direction They met fin front of the Five Points garage Major Sexton attempted to turn to the right, but his steering gear refused to work. Then he tried his brake, which also was out of commission. By this time the two machines were so close upon each other that nothing could be done to avoid the collision.
 Gradually the heavy car of Major Sexton pushed the smaller motor to the curb opposite the garage, knocking off two wheels and otherwise5 dama ging 1t.
 The only damage done Major Sexton's car was to the buffer, in front, which was torn off He continued his trip few minutes after the accident. Neither occupant was hurt. Both were alone in their cars.

SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

University. September 2o.-eSpeciap'- Alabama's football prospects have bright ened no little during the last few days It was rumored for a while that Moody who has generated the team for the last two years, was not going to get into the game this year on account of parental oo- jections. but happily these have been re- moved by persistent efforts and unless something unusual happens the plucky little quarterback will be at hls post when the whistle blows. Moody, although he tips the scales at only 1s5 pounds playee star ball during the last two years anc being a pupil of both Pollard and Low man, he is well versed in the game.
 Another man who 1t was feared would not appear this year is Baumgardner' better known as Bum He like Moody has played on the Crimson team for two wears and being one of the fastest men that ever played on a southern grldiron' fe will be a valuable addition to the team. He played right half last year bur will probably be shifted to his old posi- tion of end this season
