HAS ISSUED NO ORDER
AGAINST LABOR STAMP
Postmaster Generals State
ment Regarding Mcnamara
Defense Fund Plan.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has not
issued an order specially directed against
the stamps issued under the auspices of
the American Federation in behalf OF
the Mcnamara legal defense fund.
The Postmaster General said today the
order referred to in public print recently
was doubtless the one issued by him July
/ last. which directed that mo adhesive
stamps, or limitations of stamps, of any
form or design whatever, other than law
full postage stamps, shall be affixed to the
address side of domestic mail matter,
but such adhesive stamps. provided they
do not in form and design resemble law
full postage stamps and do not bear nu-
merals. may be affixed to the reverse
side of domestic mail matter"
Other Provisions Included.
The order further provides that "all
domestic mail matter bearing on the
address side adhesive stamps or lmlta-
tions of stamps other than lawful post
age stamps will be returned to the
sender. il known; otherwise they Will
be forwarded to the division OF dead
letters" ~,;a

PROMPTED by the trouble which the oe-
pa rtment had experienced with man pear
ing the Red. Cross stamps during the
Christmas holidays. Many letters were
deposited in the mails, said MI Hitch

and 1t lis surprising, he said, now many
of them actually reached their destlnatlon

thus deprived Of it's lawful revenue. In

turned to the sender it had TO go through
the expensive process OF handling in the
dead letter office.
Many Objectionable Issues.
Not only the Red Cross stamps caused
this trouble, but there were many similar
issues of one kind or another printed
and used by other institutions and even
by firms and corporations in the business
world for advertising purposes In every
instance their use was confusing to post
office clerks and employees, and there was
always the chance that the mail to which
they were attached would get through the
mails without prepayment of the lawful
postage.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Britt" said the Postmaster General,
"told me he had not received any COM
munication from the officials of the
American Federation of Labor with re-
gard to the use OF the Mcnamara defense
fund stamp" If that stamp falls within
the terms of the order 1t cannot be used
even on the reverse side of the envelope
Of letters.
IL 1t does not it will not be affected by
the order, said the Postmaster General.
Not Oficially Submitted.
Mr.. Hitchcock said the Mcnamara
stamp had not been officially submitted
to him, but he understood that 1t was

GUN SOLVES DEFENSE
AGAINST AIR ATTACKS
New Naval Weapon Is Believed
to Have Promising
Possibilities.

The encouraging initial performance OF
the new naval aeroplane gun has Gre
ated much gossip among officers Of the
navy as to the promising possibilities OF
the new weapon. The consensus of opin-
ion of the naval ordnance experts is that
the problem of finding a means to repel
an attack by squadron Of aeroplanes or
to destroy scouting airship is close to
solution.
While the new gun can be fired from
any angle in a half circle, it is the gen.
eral belief that it will never be aimed at
90 degrees, or in a perpendicular posi-
ton, for the reason that the shell might
return to the deck of the naval vessel.
probably unexploded, wreaking the de-
struction intended for the enemy. The
angles of firing, 1t Is said, will likely
range from 80 to S5 degrees.
Use Confined to Scouting.
+ The strenuous efforts which are being
made to perfect an instrument Of wal
capable of demolishing an airship, it was
pointed out today. demonstrate the seri-
BUSINESS with which the possibilities OF
the aeroplane in any future conflict are
regarded by naval experts.
Many naval officers still cling to the be-
lief that it's mission in warfare will be
confined largely TO scouting purposes
But even this. they admit. is of tremen-
dous importance. The scout cruisers. the
eyes of the navy" by the utilization OF
aeroplanes which could. he sent aloft from
their decks at any moment, would in
crease their radii of effectiveness by hun
dreds of miles. Few believe that the air
ship ever will be resolved. into an attack
ing force.
With the carriage OF the new gun per-
fected, the ordnance officers are now en-
gagged in designing an adequate sighting
apparatus. They look upon the problem
optimistically, and believe that this fea-
ture will soon be solved.

Board of Tariff Non-Experts.

The President endeavors to convey the
impression that Mr.. Underwood and ]
advocated his tariff commission We did
no such thing. What Underwood and ]
did advocate and vote for was a board
or tariff experts to be governed by and
made responsible to the House in general
ana to the committee on ways and means
IN particular, because the House is
charged by the Constitution with the
outy OF originating revenue bills
We were never in favor of a tariff
board or commission under the control
or the President alone and responsible
to him only. The Congressional Record
will fully and clearly prove my conten-
ton herein stated.

HUNTING PEST FOES
Little Bugs Wanted to Eat Up
the Bigger Bugs.
BUSY TRADE IN INSECTS

Fighting big bugs with small bugs Is
system that has been adopted by the
Department of Agriculture as the most
effective way of dealing with insect pests.
The man who recently has been collecting
the enemies of the pests abroad left to-
day for Massachusetts, where he will
study the way that the imported para
sites are taking hold in their war on their
host insects. He is w. F. Fiske. who has
been all the summer in Italy collecting
the parasites of the gypsy moth. the
brown-tailed moth. the alfalfa leaf weevil
and the cotton boil weevil.
1t has been found by the bureau of en-
tomology that in the countries where
such pests as the gypsy moth and the al
falfa weevil originate they are held in
check by their natural enemies, some
times birds and sometimes parasite in
sects and sometimes both.
Spread Away From Home.
These natural enemies keep them
down to reasonable numbers and prevent
their doing serious damage. When they
are exported to a country where their
natural enemies do not exist, they spread
and multiply and do immense damage.
This has been the case with the gypsy
and the broan-tailed moths in New Eng
land and more recently with the aifalfa
leaf weevil in Utah.
The bureau OF entomology has been
studying the life history of the para
sites that hold these injurious insects
in check abroad. and has been import
ing the parasites in quantities and turn
ing them loose to work on their natural
hosts here The bureau during the
past summer imported roughly about
lCGG, Goo Of these parasites and liberated
them under the most favorable natural
conditions Mr.. Fiske was at work on
this collection all summer in Italy and
southern France. The presence OF chol-
era interfered somewhat with the ship
ments of parasites. but he managed 10
send the most that were collected.
New Collection Method.
One method of collecting the parasites
heretofore has been to catch the cater
pillar hosts and send them. Now that
more is known of the life history Of the
parasite insects it has been possible to
collect the cocoons. and this has proved
more satisfactory. 1t has not been the
practice to turn colony Of the parasites
loose till they number at least 1000.
Mr.. Fiske started today for New Eng
land to see how the parasites are taking
hold of the moths there, and later next
month will meet DR.. L. o. Howard. the
chief of the bureau of entomology. in
Utah to look after the war on the alfalfa

Warns Tariff Commission.

TT will be noted that while the Pres
idents conscience would not permit
him to sign a bill revising even one
scheiule-the wool schedule-the rates
of which he declared to be too high
and in need of reduction. without rec
ommendation from his board of nom
experts. he promptly signed the out
rageous Payne-Aldrich-Sm tariff bill
without the counsel, advice or tuition
OF any tariff board whatsoever.
That bill was so bad that in a House
with republican majority we lacked
only five votes OF killing it by recon-
mitting IL. That day twenty-four patri-
them Mr.. j. r. Mann. the present re-
publican minority leader. / was privi-
legged, as democratic minority leader. to
lead in that great and righteous fight.
which will be consolation to me so
long as life lasts.
1T might as well be understood now
as later that If the sariff board is to
be used as pretext for delaying tariff
revision downward as the President is
now nsing II. instead of expediting
genuine and salutary tariff revision, its
days will be few for we will cut off its
supplies. This board has already cost
three or four hundred thousand dollars
and has not given to Congress any in
formation to aid in revising the tariff.
MIR. Underwood and / did say that
we would gladly receive information
on the tariff from anybody possessing
it: but we never did say and never viii
saw. that we. together with other mem
bers well infor2led on the subject,
must wait until the Presxdent's board.

He will not deny that statement
III we had done less than we did do
we would not have been worthy of so
great portion OF public confidence as
we now enjoy. We made the best record
OF constructive craftsmanship made by
any Congress in the same length of time
in generation. and that fact is precisely
what caused the President to assail the
democrats in Congress.
He had said the rates of the wool
schedule in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
were too high and ought to be reduced.
We reduced them. In the teeth of his
Winora speech and his other declarations
to the effect that said rates We're too high
and ought 10 be reduced, he vetoed our
wool bill. which largely reduced the rates.
and would have greatly relieved the peo-
pie by giving them much cheaper clothing
and blankets. He vetoed it, thereby go
ing over boots and breeches to the stand
patters
I'VE cheerfully meet him on that issue.
We stand for the best interests of the
masses: he stands for handful of pro-
tected tariff barons, ard by his veto ena-
bies them to continue to levy unjust and
exorbitant tribute upon the consumers of
the lard. He appears to hope that the
consumers will kiss his hand, which is
the hand that smote them sorely
