EXPECT TO NAME BISSELL
Buffalo Man Will Probably Head
Democratic State Committee.

II is probable that Herbert ?. Bissell Of
Buffalo viii be the next chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee and that he
will be elected before the first Of the year
Norman +. Mack. chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Committee. who was made
chairman Of the state committee some
weeks before election simply to prevent a
fight over the successorship to Winfield A.
Huppuch, has told Democratic leaders that
he can no lopser attend to the state duties
They had hoped he would hang on until
the committee was reorganized under the
new direct primaries bill at the spring
convention, I'm April.
Il am now preparing for a meeting of
the national committee on January s." said
Mr. Mack Yesterday, and after that my
time will be taken up with my work as
national chairman. | have advised the
leaders 10 select another man for state
chairman before the Legislature convenes,
and think they will take my advice"
Mr.. Mack mad conference yesterday
with Charles f. Murphy the Tammany and
state boss and with Governor Dix. who
was in the city.
Il think Mr.. Murphy will he perfectly
satisfied 10 have any man for chairman
who may be acceptable to the people up
state" Mr. Mack said.
Mr. Mack favors the election Of Mr. Bis
sell. who was permanent chairman Of the
last state convention at Rochester. George
N. palmer, at one time minority leader Of
the Assembly, VINO halls from Schoharie
County. is also a candidate for the place,
as he was Ut the time Mr. Mack was elect
I'd. The leaders feel. however, that they will
make more OF an impression on the pubic
by placing at the head Of the committee
man who can be pointed TO as an indie
pendent.
Mr. Blssell has been member Of the
Democratic League, which made g |at
show Of reforming the Democratic party,

PENSION BILL TO BE CUT
Senate Against Dollar-a-Day Measure
as It Passed the House.

Washington, Dec. 9--Forces are at work
in the Senate to bring about radical amend
ments in the Sherwood dollar-a-day PEN
sion bill which passed the House. Senators
of both parties to-day expressed disap-
prevail of the dollar-a-day idea. The Sem
ate Pensions Committee Is compiling sta
tistics to show just what the yearly outlay
would be If the Sherwood bill were adopted.
First estimates placed 1t at from $4,000 coo
to $75,C00,OO0 year over present eXpend-
lures.
The committee will report 20 the Senate
a bill carrying much less expenditure Of
money, which It believes, in addition to
being generally satisfactory to Civil War
veterans, would be one which President
TAFT would be willing TO sign.

UNION MUST PAY DAMAGES
Workman Establishes in Court
How He Was Hounded.

One Of the most fragrant cases of per
secution on the part of a trade union II
one Of its members came before Justice
Guy, in the Supreme Court yesterday
and the court decided that the union
must pay nearly 500 for its acts.
The case was that of Samuel Sabo
against Minnie Freedman, treasurer Of
tho United Necktie Makers Union.
which is affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor. Through threats
ard coercion and calling of strikes saba
was compelled TO make about half a
dozen changes Of employment. usually
being discharged through pressure
brought on his employers by the union.
Sabo was a member in good standing
in the union in August, 1910. His wages
were SO a week. His brother Joseph
wanted to enter the union and he was
informed that the entrance fee was SO
Joseph delayed and in the mean time got
a job in an open shop. Shortly after
that the employees there were taken into
the union at S. each, Joseph Sabo be-

board of the union wanted that $50
which It had told the brother OF the new
member it would cost to enter. so the
board fined Sabo 500, which with the s.
paid by his brother. would make UP the
$50. He refused to pay The union SIS
PENDED him, went to his employers and
threatened that unless he was els
charged strike would be declared. To
protect their own interests the employers
discharged Sabo.
After being idle for several months
and working for SIS a week In open
shops instead of $50, which he had been
receiving. Sabo brought an action for
reinstatement Justice Guy ordered
yesterday that Sabo be reinstated in The
union and ordered the defendant to pay
the plaintiff $j64 damages for wages
lost, besides S129 costs.

ADOPTS LODGE RESOLUTION
Macon, Of Arkansas, Only Repre-.
sentative to Vote Against It.
tFrom Ne Tribune Bnreau.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The House ADOPTED
unanimously to-day, in lieu of the Sulzer
resolution, the Senate substitute ratifying
the action OF the President in informing
Russia that this government desired to ter
inmate the treaty Of 1882 Representative
/ Sulzer moved the adoption of the more
| automatically worded substitute declaring
that II was not the time to play partisan
politics If results were TO be obtained
promptly. The resolution was adopted on
viva voce vote, the only Representative
| opposing II being Mr. Macon. Of Arkansas.
Representative Malby. Of New York. the
only member 10 oppose the Sulzer resolu-
ton when it passed the House, opposed the
Senate substitute in a speech to-day, but
did not vote against IL. MI Malby took
the ground that the abrogation Of the
treaty would not accomplish the unrc-
stricted admission OF American Jews into
Russia.
I'VE know" said Mr.. Sulzer, that after
many Secretaries OF State and many Presi-
dents had failed 10 terminate the Russian
treaty President Taft did effectually move
in the matter two days after the House

had passed its resolution demanding the
abrogation of the treaty"
He said President Taft had ignored the
Senate by acting on the House resolution
and sending notice to Russia had ignored
the House in sending a message to the
Senate, and that the Senate had then
ignored the President by sending back to
the House an amendment to the latter's
resolution so IT now appears that all
branches OF the government had affirmed
the action started by the House. This
House in.ended no offence to Russia, and
Russia took 10 offence at anything this
House did"
Mr.. Suzer said the United States should
seek closer relations with Russia.
do you believe the abrogation will give
recognition to American Jews in Russia?
asked Representative Berger, Of Wisconsin,
the Socialist member.
Il believe il will bring about a change
in conditions" said Mr.. Sulzer
IF Russia made no protest against the
House resolution. where did the report
come from that the House resolution
would be offensive?" asked Representative
Harrison, OF New York
1T did not Gene from the State Depart
ment," said Mr.. Sulzer.
Representative Mccall, Of Massachusetts,
and others took part In the debate
Mr. Berger introduced Joint resolution
to terminate the extradlton treaty of 1851
between the United States and Russia. He
said that injuries suffered by citizens of
the United States ia Russia could not be
'reIressed or avoided merely by abrogatlon
Of the treaty Of 1882.
although the treaty Of 1887 specially
exc-pts from extradition persons charged
with political offences" Mr.. Berger con-
tinucd, the Russian government has re-
peatedly violated the terms Of this treaty
by charging grave civil crimes against
refugees whose actual offence has been the
advocacy OF free institutions in Russia,
and by striving in all possible ways for the
cxtradition Of such refugees. The Russian
government he's for years maintained in
this country secret agents and spies to
ferret out SUCH refugees, and has further
more constantly sought 10 exercise undue
influence upon municipal, state and federal
officers and officials of the United States
government for the apprehension and sur
render Of such refugees"
No action was taken on the Berger reso-
luton.

RUSSIA PRAISES Mr.. TAFT
Continued from first page.

i've minutes. Speaker Clark signed 1t
at 2:56 p. m, and Vice-President Sher-
man signed it at 1852 o'clock, after the
Senate had remained in session pur-
! posely to permit him, under the rules, 10
af1ix his signature while it was in ses-
sion. Tomorrow Congress will take a
recess for the holidays, which was an
I important factor in expediting the ratiii-
cation.
The Russian reply to the notice from
Ambassador Guild that America wished
to terminate the treaty has been re-
ceived at the State Department : The
officials decline to make the text of the
note public. but say that its contents
have been well outlined in dispatches
from St Petersburg. Hence II is in
ferred that the Russian Foreign Office
made no response to Secretary Knox'e
invitation 10 begin negotiations for 4
new treaty. 1t may be said on good au-
thority that the Russian government.
does not intend TO be hurried, but It does
expect 10 conclude n new convention be-
fore the existing treaty expires, on De-
ccmber 81, 1912. Unquestionably the
modification of the terms Of the origi-
nal resolution of abrogation has been a
strong feature in influencing the Rus
sian government to consider favCrably
the framing of new treaty, which pos
sibly il could not have entertained under
the sense of irritation that would have
been caused by the adoption Of the Sui
ger resolution in all its severity of ex-
preston
Notwithstanding some expressions to
the contrary by individual Senator'S, the
weight Of official opinion is decidedly In
favor OF the contention that with the
withdrawal Of the favored nation"
treatment guaranteed to American i'm
ports into Russia by the treaty about 70
be terminated the full maximum Rus
sian tariff rates viii automatically be-
come effective on American goods. Bear
ing on this proposition is the following
extract from the Russian customs tariff
OF 1906
All products Of the countries which en-
JOY In Russia lnost-favored- nation rights
are SuDJcCl 10 tne terms OF the COQNen-
tional tariff in its entirety and 10 the
terms of the general tariff i'm so far as this
latter is not modified by the conventional
tariff.
The implication is declared TO be ire
sistible that only the countries in this
section-that is, those having most-fa-
vored-nation rights-can enjoy the lower
rates of the conventional tariff. At
present Russia extends those rates to
products of the United States, and 1t
has been suggested that Russia will
continue to do so on the ground that
the Presidents proclamation, issued
under the terms of the Payne-Aldricn
tariff act, allowing minimum tariff rates
on Russian goods is equivalent to most
favored nation treatment.

ment TO the jury, was mado to-day by
Levy Mayer at the opening Of the afternoon
session OF the trial.
At the same time Mr. Mayer, attorney

pany was a sham and its stockholders ana
directors are Just as guilty under the law
as If the fixing OF business and the control
of the meat industry had been accomplished

He argued that the intent of the packers
to fix prices was shown by the history OF
the packing industry, and said there had
been a packers pool for thirty years. The
object of the National Packing Company,
