REDUCTION OF TARIFF
ON PULP AND PAPER
SCHEDULES FAVORED
fContinued From Page One)


ne could not buy a ton from the paper
mills at price within reason. He charged
that the paper makers had attacked the
credit of projectors of new enterprises
and had urged banks to refuse them
loans, and that since 1898. when the In
ternational Paper company was formed,
the paper makers in substantially all
groups, had been trying to regulate the
market by commissions and maintain
ing prices.
Mr. Norris further stated that exports
of the paper trade in 1912 exceeded the
1912 imports by more than $2,000000. 1.-THE
paper Makers" he said, fail to tell you
that while three-quarters of the machines
operating in American mills are fit only
for the scrap heap, nearly all the Ca
madam mills are equipped with modern
machines made in America and manned
by American paper Makers
He also said the tariff board had pune
tured the labor protection fallacy; that
the average cost of labor in all Canadian
mills was only cents less a ton than
in the American mills, yet Congress had
retained at 1915 duty on news print mat
ter, ''professedly in the interest of labor"
Mr.. Norris charged the American Paper
and Pulp association with selling abroad
at lower prices than to American con-
sumers
Free Pulp Claimed
Mr.. Hastings. speaking for the American
Paper and Pulp association, said that in
the industry were 500 establishments in
S2 states employing $1,000 persons He
said at least So per cent of products of
the mills is of a quality that could be
imported into this country of value of
not over cents pound at the point
of shipment, thus coming in free under
the Canadian reciprocity law He said
a large proportion of the importations of
paper and pulp are coming in free from
Canada and that pulp comes free from
some other nations.
I'VE as an industry" said Mr.. Hast
ings. ARE entitled to the same treat

Flonzaley Concert Tomorrow

The Flonzaley quartet will be heard in
choice programme at the Jefferson the
atre tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
A year or two ago the Flonzaleys made a
limited southern tour. but they are conf
ing to Birmingham now for the first time.
They are so popular in New York that a
mere announcement of their appearance
causes a box office rush. This season
they have already given several concerts
in New York and one advertised for Feb,
ruary 8 in one of the large music halls
is oversold. that is to say, all the seats
have been subscribed for in advance.
Mr.. Chalifoux. under whose local direc-
ton the Flonzsley quartet is giving the
concert Sunday, reports that there has
been a large advance sale and that every
Indication points tc a crowded house.

DEPORTATION OF

New York. January 1.-THE deporta-
tion of Edward L. Mylius. the Bel
gian journalist who served a 10 months
prison term for libellng King George
V of England, was ordered postponed
today by Judge Holt of the federal dis
trict court.
Judge Holt issued a writ OF habeas

ment as any other legitimate manufact-
uring industry in this country. 1t is i'm
possible to store any quantity of paper
except at a prohibitive cost"
Mr. Hastings declared that while Can
ada is the greatest competitor of the
United States, England, Germany and
Sweden are large producers of the lower
grades of paper and the principal export
trade which is accessible to United States
paper manufacturers is almost entirely
held by those countries. THE paper in
dustry in this country he said. is at
tackled in the home market by nearly
every country in the world. We are the
dumping ground for every paper and pulp
manufacturing country. The increase of
importations by the lowering of the tariff
would amount to very little Any in
crease in duties would result in a large
increase in revenue without serious in
reference with the quantity imported"
Amend Tariff on Books
James l.. Feeney of New York. repre-
senting the international Brotherhood
of Bookbinders at the night hearing OF
the committee asked that the provision
in the present tariff law admitting books
printed more than 20 years free of duty,
be amended to provide that the books
admitted free must also have been bound
20 years ago. Mr.. Feeney said that 10
years ago, 1000 men were employed in
art bnderies'' in the city of New
York and that today but 200 were em-
ployed. He credited this condition to
the practice of sending old books abroad
TO be rebound by chep foreign labor -
and remporting them free.
Ebon l.. Brown. representing the news
print mills of the country. discussed the
news print paper tariff and the wood
pulp tariff. He said paper mills had
increased the wages of their employees
that the price of production had increased
but that by added efficiency the selling
price of news print paper had been kept
level during the last 10 years. The cost
of production, he said, had gone up from
Sc to 50 a ton.
I'VE are not here" he said ito urge
the fixing of tn duty on news print paper
on a protection basis, but we do contend
that as a revenue tariff the duty should
remain at 1915 a ton as it is at present
This would be an ad valorem duty of
about eight per cent, a really low duty"
Mr.. Brown argued that the wood pulp
and paper provision of the Canadian
reciprocity act was Oppressive and de-
structive to the paper industry in the
United States and should be repealed
the retention of the duty on photographic
paper and post cards, declaring that the
duty does not affect the retail price of
the product After hearing Richard T.
Stevens, president of the Japan Paper
company; Peter J. Brady, of the Allied
Printing trade; II. A. Craft, represent
ing the paper box makers and Thomas
o. Marvin, of the Home Market Club
of Boston, the committee adjourned.

ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING
FOR JOHN MITCHELL; SPEAKS
TOLARGE CROWD AT ORPHEUM
FINDS LABOR CONDITIONS IN
ALABAMA VERY SATISFAC.
TORY = RAPS CHILD LABOR
LAWS OF STATE AS WELL AS
LITERARY CONDITIONS

John Mitchell, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, spoke to
large and enthusiastic audience last
night at the orpheum theatre He spoke
for about an hour and a half and was fire.
duently interrupted by bursts of applause.
Mr.. Mitchell found labor conditions in
Alabama quite satisfactory He said that
the miners were not seen on the streets
spent money with the merchants of Bir-
mingham He asked the miners to be
good citizens; to pay their school taxes
that there might be a larger school fund
and also to pay more attention to poll
tics In order that men friendly to labor
might be put in office.
Mr.. Mitchell touched on child labor and
criticised very severely the Alabama law
He said child labor conditions in the
state are to be deplored. ut isn't right
to put babies to work" ne said, when
they should be playing or in school,.
Recent statistics showing Alabama near
the bottom of the list of states as re-
CARDS illiteracy was also criticised by Mr.
Mitchell who declared that all energy
should be devoted to raising Alabama
to higher standard of education.
Mr.. Mitchell resented the method of
high school boys going to. school one day
and into the machine shops the next to
learn trade. I'm the Illinois Central
shops, in which there has been a strike
for the last two years" he said this
has been done. Under such conditions
they will never become skilled mechanics
but will merely be high school 'scabs +"
While Mr.. Mitchell did not refer di-
rectly to the dynamite trial in Indianap-
oils he did say that organized labor
should not be blamed for the crimes of
the few irresponsible men. Mr.. Mitchell
said that organized labor had never and
never would stand for organized vo-
lenee. He denounced the labor movement
as represented by the Industrial Workers

WIDE CAMPAIGN
FOR ERAD|F|CAT|ON
OF THE HOOKWORM
One of the First Uses to
Which the Rockefeller
Endowment Will Be
Applied

Washington, January ia world wide
campaign for the eradication Of the
'hookworm'' will be one of the first uses
to which the 81 100000 endowment of
the proposed Rockefeller foundation will
be applied as soon as 1t receives its
charter from Congress, according to Je
rome d. Greene of New York, trustee
in several of JOHN d. Rockefeller's phil
anthropies. who is here urging the passage
of the enabling act.
The House will vote next Monday on
the proposed measure calling into the
existence the organization. which under
the control of Congress, would be au-
thorized to spend Mr.. Rockefellers mil
lions for the advancement of civilization
by every humanitarian means. Mr..
Greene expressed the belief that the men
who are to form the foundation board
regard the proposed fight against the
hookworm as of pressing Importance.
To Wipe Out HoOkworm
ITO wipe out the hookworm," said Mr.
Greene tonight, 'ft will be necessary not
only to cure the present sufferers. but
also to inculcate and diffuse such knowl-
edge of the laws of hygiene and sanita-
tion as will gradually make reinfection
impossible. But when that is done in
this country the work will be only be
partially accomplished for unless the
hookworm can be eradicated from those
points in foreign lands which now,
through the ordinary channels of COM
merce. are constantly distributing infec-
tion all over the world, the hookworm is
bound to reappear again and again.
HThe campaign for its eradication must
therefore, be made world campaign--
not for altruistic motives, merely but
because no one country can be safe until
all have been cleared of this pest
The campaign against hookworm has
hitherto been carried on in this country
alone by the sanitary committee for the
eradication of the hookworm, operating
on a fund of s1,o0o,000 given by Mr.. Rookie
Teller.
At End of Resources
The commission Mr.. Greene says, is
now approaching the end of its resources
"Manifestly." he declares, these can
not be replenished by the Rockefeller
foundation. unless that foundation is
brought into existence; and as the work
has hitherto been entirely dependent upon
Mr. Rockefeller for financial aid, there
may be danger that its activities will
be greatly curtaied or even stopped al
together unless the pending bill becomes
q law
Mr. Greene says that it is possible that
further funds for the extension of the
agricultural department of the south
which has been carried on by the gen
eral education board. founded by Mr.
Rockefeller in cooperation with the de-
partment of agriculture will be supplied
by the Rockefeller foundation when it is
established
