ROOT AMENDMENT
Senate Likely to Defeat
It Today.
LONG SESSION IS CERTAIN
Reciprocity Struggle in Congress
Will Develop Into a Gen.
eral Debate on the
Tariff.

Washington, June 26. - The Root
amendment to the wood pulp and pa
per scheduls Of the Canadian reciproc-
lily bill. which the administration has
boon fighting as fatal to the agree
ment, undoubtedly will be defeated
before the senate adjourns today, the
Democrats and many Of the Republ-
cans who favor reciprocity having
openly opposed the amendment.
With this amendment. on which the
reciprocity struggle for some time has
centered, out OF the way, the tariff
debate will assume wider scope. The
wool tariff and the free list bills, as
the Democratic house passed them,
do not In their exact terms meet the
approval Of the Democratic forces In
the senate nor that OF the Republican
insurgents. but they form the basis
for the fight that Is 10 bring Canadian
reciprocity and tho whole tariff ques-
ton into the open for a protracted
debate.
The extent TO which the insurgent
Republican senators will be inclined
to go Is expected to be made clear
during the tariff discussion this week.
So far only Indefinitely outlining their
course. they have indicated that they
favor all the valuable tariff reductions
that they can squeeze out OF the Sit

their readiness to add to the reciproc-
ity bill any amendments they think
susceptible OF successfully threading
the legislative and executive channels,
even In the face OF the presidents veto
threat
There Is a decided lack Of Demo
cratic support. however. for the pro-
posals that the insurgents have hint
ed at. Senator Bailey will fight for
an amending OF the Canadian agree
ment 10 exempt from free trade the
products OF the farm. but while he
will have some Democratic and much
insurgent support for this plan. 1t Is
not expected TO prevail.
Senator IaFOllette Is working on
general amendments that he will offer
10 the reciprocity measure and TO the
wool and free list bills He Is deter
mined to lead a hard fight for a gen
eral plan Of revision Of the more ild-
portant schedules OF the tarin law
His action and his amendments and
arguments aye being awaited by many
OF the insurgents. who do not care TO
open up a fight until they have had
the opportunity Of seeing what he pro
poses and the effect his arguments
have. Meantime they are preparing
for the fight. which promises TO be
confined principally to insurgents and
a few Democrats.
The direct election Of senators will
come up again early in the week. The
house has voted down the Brlstow
attached to the bill in the
senate. and has asked for a conference
on the measure. The conference COM
mittee OF ten two houses IS expected
TO be named within a day or two.

JUG TRADE MENACE TO SOUTH
Commerce Commission Passes on Nor
al Aspect of the Question.

Approximately 2O,OOO,OOO gallons
of liquors annually are shipped
by express principally from mall or
der houses direct to consumers In
prohibition States.
This startling fact was developed
in an inquiry conducted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission into
proposed changes In express classifi-
cations. which resulted In an ad-
vance of rates on packages con-
tanning liquors. The commission
held that the express requirement
that liquor containers should be
packed in corrugated paper cartons
was reasonable: but that the charge
for transportation based upon arbi-
trary weights-ei eighteen pounds for
a gallon of whiskey packed was
unreasonable, and that the dlscrim-
ination against stone jugs also was
unreasonable
Commissioner McChord. who con-
Quoted the inquiry and prepared
the opinion of the commission points
out that the industry directly con
cerned Is that Of the mail order
liquor houses
1T was the spread Of the prohi-
bition movement" the opinion says,
that gave vitality to this character
of traffic In liquor. With State
wide prohibition came the in
terstate traffic in liquor. The de
cision OF the Supreme Court that
this traffic was Interstate. and.
therefore, superior to interference
by the state governments. gave the
industry a tremendous impetus. and
established the express companies
as the carriers OF practically the
whole OF this traffr.

"'rhe movement is much moro ac-
live in the South than In other sec
tons of the country. partly because
of the extent OF the prohibition ter
ritory in that section. partly because
of the large quantities Of very cheap
whiskey manufactured and shipped
there for the consumption of the
negro population.
The opinion concludes with the
statement that. although IL is not

iwell on the moral aspect Of the
question. it is considered that the
traffic has an evil effect on and Is
one Of the important factors in the
race problem Of the south.

sage of the free list and wool bills
lead them from the path which leads
to Canadian reciprocity. The coun-
