WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 2l.-
The work of preparation for tariff re.
vision during the extraordinary ses
sion of Congress. which is scheduled
TO begin in April. is already well un-
der full steam. Clerks of the Ways
and Means Committee were figurine
out rates, classifieations and net re
suits before President-elect Wilson ar
rived in Bermuda TO begin his period
Ct gloomy meditation. Chairman Tn.
derwocd. OF the committee, arrived
here November 30 and at once jumped
into the task CT readjusting old bills
for new Introduction.
Coincifent with the beginning of
work looking to tariff revision Sena.
tor Simmons, supposedly the next
Chairman Of the Finance Committee,
issued statement declaring there
would be ne friction either among
Democratic leaders in Congress or be.
tween them and President Wilson. He
said Mr. Underwood and himself
would cooperate like a pair OF busy
beavers working on a new dam.
Form OF Bills Uncertain.
- II has not yet been determined
Nhethcr the bill viii be introduced,
embracing the wool. cotton, iron, AND
steel reyisions which the Democratic
Iloase has previously passed, on
whether each of these tariff sched.
ules will again be. presented In the
form of a separate bill.
Little time will be necessary. 1t is
believed. to perfect wool, cotton,
metal, and chemical revision bills, be-
cause of the work done by the Demo
cratic. ways and means committee in
preparing similar bills passed in the
last two sessions, which have been
vetoed by President Taft.
Sugar Tariff Puzzle.
The Democratic leaders are not
agreed, however, over the sugar tar
iff. and this situation is puzzling the
managers Of the party in both houses.

In fact the Secretary's aversion to

ETTOR AND GIOVANETTI.
Two labor leaders, Ettor and
Giovaneffi, have been in Jail at
Lawrence, Mass, for several
months, without bail, charged
with being accessories before the
fact to the murder of one of the
girl strikers during that strike of
textile workers.
Neither Ettor nor Giovanetti
killed the girl. 1t is we'll known
who did kill her. But the argu-
ment is something like this: Fl
tor and Giovanetti were strike
1eaders-trouble grew out of the
strike they led-a girl was killed
-Ettor and Giovanetti are guilty
because they led the strike, the
strike led to trouble, trouble led
to murder, ETC., ETC., etc.
It is we'll known that neither of
the strike leaders ineited the
strikers to violence. On the con-
trary, they publicly urged the
strikers not to resort to violence,
even telling them not to argue
with policemen or soldiers who
insulted them, but to walk away
from their irlsulters.
b Still they were, aErested. chate

ed with murder, and, locked up
without bail.
Let's see how the same argu-
ment would work in Chicago.
Certain newspaper publishers
hired ex-convicts and gunner
and had them deputized as police
men and sheriffs-this gave them
the right to carry reviewers
some of them killed street car
conductor and some of them
killed an innocent teamster.
Are the publishers who hired
the gunner who committed the
murder any less guilty of being
accessories before the fact than
Ettor and Giovahetti.
Of course nobody expects the
law to take any such view of it.
Perhaps we ought to be thankful
that all the striking newsboys
were not arrested in Chicago as
Ettor and Giovanetti were in
Lawrence.
Yes, it does make a difference
sometimes whose OK is gored.
