BOSTON 6 MAINE
SHOULD SELL
COULD REALIZE ON ITS MAR
KET1sLE SECURITIES
Could Also Take Back Some Diverted
Traffic.

Boston.-Opposition to the Boston
& Names request for permission to
increase its freight rates is express
sed in a 45-page brief filed by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce and
seven AFFILIATED commercial organI-
cations with the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington. The brief
was prepared by David o. Ives of the
Chamber of Commerce, who suggests
as remedies that the Boston & Maine
securities and take back traffic it has
diverted to the New Haven, thereby
overcoming a large part of its ac-
Iknowledged deficiency.
The brief charges substantial infia-
ton of capitalization by buying more
stock than was necessary to control
the Maine Central. The officials OF
the protesting organizations express
sympathy with the management of
the railroad Gin its endeavor to place
that property upon basis which
will restore it to the confidence of
the community" but maintain that
the "grievous financial burden which
has been imposed upon them through
past mismanagement cannot in JUS
tice be transferred to the public" 1t
is stated in the brief that prosperity
does not necessarily follow an in
crease in freight rates. The proposed
rates, it is declared, without a single
exception favor New York, are unrea-
sonable and result in unjust discrimi-
nation.

SEES YELLOW PERIL"
IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
GOV. PoTHIER ATTACKS THE RE.
DucTIoN IN TARIFF.
Means Lower Wages, He Declares,
and Competition with Asiatics.

Providence-The recent tarif legis-
lation has opened the way for a COM
mercial yellow peril" in the opinion
Of Gov. Pothier, expressed in an ad-
dress before the Southern New Eng
land Textile Club. Gov. Pothier de
clared that the tariff will result in the
lowering of wages of labor and will
deprive the American manufacturers
of their home market.
II dare say there is not a manu-
facturer in New England, with what
ever political party he may be attiliat-
ed, who will not say that the radical
reduction in the tariff on textiles Will
eventually result in a reduction OF
the wages schedules" said the Gov
ernor. And all of them will agree
also, ! think, that the new rates OF
duty will close our own markets for
the finer grades of wooden and worst
ed goods to American manufacturers.
Why should our manufacturers be de.
prived of the advantages of our own
markets?
81 believe in maintaining the wages
of industrial operatives at as high a
standard as possible, because high
wages mean greater prosperity for the
and merchant and be-
cause they raise the standard of liv-
ing and of civilization generally.
There may not be a yellow peril
confronting us in the generally &C.
cepted sense of the term, but that
there may be yellow peril CONNER
cially no thoughtful man will deny.
The races of the Orient are progress
ing steadily and it is only question
of time when they will enter the
markets of the world with products
which will come into competition
with those of advanced nations. Their
resources are immense and they are
rapidly being educated in manutactur-
ing lines by Europeans.
IF | am correctly informed, manu-
featuring interests of Europe are
building textile mills in China. We
shall certainly have to protect our
labor and the products of our labor
against the extremely low wages OF
the Orient if those Nations enter the
industrial field.
"If it is considered proper to open
our American markets to the Euro
peaons by means of low tariff con-
tanning no reciDroca1 clauSe how can
we close them to the Asiatic?"

was not upon the franchises of ma

was generally recoverable against de-

tax was not ESSENTIALLY inimical to ma
tional banks and was not "injuriously
discriminatory"
