WILSON DECIDES ON
AN EXTRA SESSION
Tariff Will Be Taken Up; Con-
uress to Meet Not Later
Than April IS.

New York.-Governor Wilson an
nounced that Immediately after MIS-
Inauguration as president OF the IN
tied States he would call an extraor-
binary session of congress to convene
not later than April Is for the purpose
of revising the tariff.
The president-el has gone to Ber-
muda for a vacation and will return
December 16. To set at rest specula-
ton as to what he would do with re-
gard to tariff revision, he issued the
following statement:
81 shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later tnan
April Is. | shall do this not only De-
cause think that the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as prompt
ly as possible, but also because !
know it to be in the interest of bust
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items of tariff revision
are to be should be removed as soon
as possible"
Since his election, the governor has
been sounding public opinion on the
ACCESSIBILITY of calling a special ses'
sion and has found the demand fol
one practically unanimous.
Washington.-Clerks of the house
ways and means committee have be-
gun work upon tariff revision bills
for the special session of congress
which President elect Wilson has stat
ed he will summon to meet next April.
Democratic leaders have been conf
dent for some time that the incoming
administration would force the tarlf1
issue to an immediate trial, and much
of the detail work of preparing the
bills is under way.
Suggestions have been made by in,
fluential members of the senate, with
in the last week, that joint commit
tee, representing house and senate
democrats, be informally selected be-
fore the special session begins, to go
over the tariff situation and harmon.

NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
TO START NEW FURNACES.
Virginia Iron. Coal and Coke Company
to Increase Production.

According to large interest in the
Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany, the report for 1912 will re-
semble to a marked degree, the one
issued for 1911. A slightly greater
deficit will be shown owing to depreS-
sion in the iron business, and the
fact that the company refused to sell
at prevailing prices, stocking its out
put. At the present time 1t has IN Its
possession some 100000 tons of Vir-
ginia foundry iron, which is now quo
ted at S14.50 per ton, or about s. per
ton higher than the market price IN
March of the present year.
According to the above interest, the
report of this year will show that the
assets have been reduced from S14,-
O56,44S to So 100000. During the last
ten years over $7,000,0O0, realized
from the sale of real estate, coal lands
and railroads, has been put back into
the property, and the outstanding
bonds have been reduced from $9,OOO,-
600 to S5,000,000.
Owing to the betterment of price
conditions, the company is now IN
more favorable position to progress.
The Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Co.,
owns nine blast furnaces at present.
Two are in operation producing about
10000 tons of iron per month. The
increasing demand for iron has made
il practicable for more furnaces to be
put in operation and two additional
furnaces will, no doubt, be blown IN
shortly.

ing of the "tax-dodgers" of that
county, who are alleged to have been
guilty of wholesale violation of the
State law, which requires tax on in
comes in excess of $4,000 year.
The reason given is that the auditor
wants more time to look up relevant
matters. Many believe the auditor Is
gathering evidence. Others think the
matter has been called on account
of the sentiment that has been created
all over the State.
