Senator AldriCh Comes
Ont For Reciprocity

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Aldrich, chairman OF the finance COM
mittee of the senate, has written to
President Taft that he favors the con-
firmation of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. Whether the letter makes
promise of assistance in getting &C
ton in the senate at the present ses-
sion has not been disclosed, but SEN
ators who have seen the letter init
mate that the Rhode Island senator
will do all he can to aid the president
in carrying his program to success.
The announcement that Mr. Aid
rich, whose name Is attached TO the
existing tariff act, had subscribed TO
the terms of the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada, was received with
great surprise in the senate, especial
ly by the stand pat senators who
have come out against the agreement
on the ground that 1t is not in COM
pliance with the tenets of the Repub-
lican party on the subject Of protec-
ton.
No announcement was made at the
white house In respect to the letter
and there was considerable specula-
ton at the capitol as to whether the
message would be made public.
Early in the present session Mr., Aid
rich was compelled to leave Wash
ington on account OF his health. He
is spending the winter at Jekyl island,
Georgia, and although much better
than when he left here, it Is not like
ly he will be able to take any further
part In tariff legislation, for his SER
vice in the senate will end March 4.
His letter, therefore, even II made
public can have no effect other than
to ease the minds of some stand-pat
senators who are inclined to vote for
the agreement against their convic-
tons.
Soon after the Canadian agreement
was sent to congress and IL was re-
ported there was little choice for ac-
ton in the senate at the present ses-
sion, Mr. Taft wrote to Mr. Aldrich
II Is understood that the executive
urged the veteran tariff bill mixer to
come back and take charge OF the
fight for the measure In the senate.
At one time IL was rumored that
Mr.. Aldrich might be back, but this
report was denied.

ment issued by Rep. Mccall, follow

BRICK BIDS
As Result of Big Four Co.'s Charge
Of Unfairness Commissioner Will
Be Required To Apply Rather
and Absorption" Tests.
Mayor Won't Veto Contracts Be-
cause Protesting Firm Declines
To Meet Terms.

While Mayor Thompson has decided
bot TO exercise the veto power with
respect TO the brick contracts award
bd by Public Works Commissioner
iaarer and confirmed by the council
asst Tuesday night, the protest of the
Big Four Brick Co., through the De-
roit Brick Sales Co., that II did not
Feceive fair play. is nevertheless bear.
ng fruit.
The mayor sent for Commissioners
iaarer, Tuesday morning, and they
went over the brick situation at
ength. AS a result OF the confer
bnce. Haarer has agreed to purchase
RATHER for testing all bricks pur'
chased by the city and will also sub
nit them to the absorption test. The
rattler test as well as the other will
pc made after the bricks have been
delivered on the streets by the con
tractors, the bricks being picked from
he piles at random.
A rattler Is a machine consisting OF
, hollow cube, In which the bricks
are placed and ratified around when
he cube reyolves at a rapid rate. The
est allows for breakage Of 20 per
cent. IL any of the bricks show n
greater abrasion than this, the partic.
liar lots represented Will be rejected.
Commissioner Haarer was author.
zed by the council more than year
hgo to purchase a RATHER and the
money, $3.50, was transferred from the
House OF Correction fund for that pur-
pose, but the rattler was never pur-
chased. He Is still holding the money
for that purpose.
In the absorption OF water test, the
absorption must not exceed per
cent
Mayor Thompson will not be con.
tent with these tests, however. He
plans to check up the local testers
occasionally by sending samples OF
brick to Cleveland, Cincinnati, and
'Dther cities to- be tested by their ma
chimes.
Every large city is doing that
now" said the mayor, land | can see
no reason why Detroit should not get

The mayor stood ready to veto the
contracts provided the Detroit Brick
Sales Co. put its charges in the form
|of afiidavits and put up bond OF
$4,000 to reimburse the city in case
the bids should be higher when IL
came to readvertising. The com
|pany, however, was unwilling to meet
these conditions.
The mayor sent the following COM

ness put its finger In the reciprocity
pie today and announced that it must
be baked and delivered before
March 4.
I'VE don't want an extra session;
let's have rest from legislation de-
clared. the financial agents. "An ex-
ira session now will keep business in
turmoil all summer because the
Democrats are apt to start most any
thing when they get hold Of the house.
We want this tariff thing to rest until
next December, anyway"
The business representatives are

II they fail there, all the big guns of

PUSH FIGHT ON
RECIPROCITY PACT
Farmers Representatives Tell SEN
ate Finance Committee They
Will Fight to Finish.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Repre-
sentative farmers, led by N, j..
Bachelor, master OF the Nauonai
Grange and former governor OF New
Hampshire, served notice on the SEN
ate finance committee today that the
reciprocity agreement with Canada
was unfair and that they will fight 1t
to a finish.
1T is jug handled" said Bachelor.
Canada has the jug and we have the
handle. Free trade in farm products
and continued protection on manuiac-
tured articles is a condition the farm
ers will not endure without protest.
The main idea OF the bill TO carry out
the reciprocity agreement has reduc-
ed the price of wheat six or seven
cents.
"Our protective system cannot long
endure with free farm products and
manufactured goods taxed 40 TO 90
per cent"
c. NJ. Gardner, master OF the grange
In Massachusetts, said the agreement
would be a heavy blow to New Eng
land farmers.
1.-The American farmer is surely go
ing to kick on this agreement" said
T. C. Laylin, master of the grange
in Ohio. Nothing protected Is left
to us but wool and that will soon be
gone"
ut has gone," said Senators Smoot
and McCumber in chorus. They cx-
planned to Laylin that sheep could be
driven into this country, SHARED and
then driven back to Canada, If the
reciprocity bill passed
A protest against the agreement
was also made by T. c. Atkeson,
master Of the West Virginia grange.

10,000W0MEN TO-
FLOCK TO ALBANY


ALBANY, N. Y. Feb. 2i---From
every section Of the state women are
coming to the capitol today. II -
estimated that there will be fully
10000 of them here tomorrow TO de-
mand the right OF suffrage. There
will also be on hand a devoted little
band OF anti-suffragists and oratoricai
pyrotechnics are scheduled before the
joint legislative committees tomorrow
which will be record-breaking In char
acter.
For the past decade the annual In
vasion OF the women has been one OF
the features Of the legislative session.
More interest attaches to this years
hearing, however, because for the <irBt
time there is possibility that the
suffrage bills may be reported to be
killed In the open. Heretofore they
have been stified In committee.
The suffragettes will be entertained
tonight at mammoth reception AZ
the Ten Eyck. While this Is going on
the ants will try TO create sentiment
against the bills by personal appeals
TO legislators.
