AUSTRALIAN MEAT ADMITTED
San Francisco to Encourage Ship
ments to Lower Prices.

San Francisco-Following confer
ence between San Francisco meat
dealers and Mayor James Rolph, Jr.. it
was announced Saturday that ship
ments of meat from Australia will be
admitted at this port, and this, it is
said, means there will be a cut in
prices to consumers of from l to
cents pound. Dealers interested in
the shipments from the Antipodes say
they have formulated plans to resist
any fight in the shape of meat war
that may be thrust upon them.
1t is said that 800 tons of beef and
mutton will be brought here from Aus
trala in May, and the final purpose is
to increase the extent Of the ship
ments until 1000 tons month are
being received. The initial shipment
that reached this port several weeks
ago was held up temporarily by Fed
eral health authorities, due to ques-
ton of tagging carcasses which arose.
Dealers say that this meat, when it
was distributed to retailers, was pro-
nounced satisfactory.
The health authorities of Oakland
also have moved to accept the Aus
tralian meat.

TO APPEAsE WOOL GROWERS


Washington, D. C.-Fearful that
they cannot restore raw wool to the
dutiable list, Democratic senators
from the wool-growing states are
hopeful of appeasing the wrath Of the
wool men by making fight to force
wool fabrics and other wooden manu-
features on the free list. They realize
that this will not aid the wool grow
ers, but there long has been feeling
among wool growers that the wool
manufacturers we're getting an ad-
vantage over them in tariff and If
these senators can make wool fabrics
free, in the event raw wool remains
on the free list, they feel that they at
least will have placed both industries
on an equal footing, SO that one enjoys
no advantages Of which the other is
deprived.
For great many years the wool
manufacturers of the East have pro-
fessed to work with the wool growers
of the West in keeping a substantial
duty on all forms of wool, both raw
and manufactured. Yet the wool
growers have known that the advant-
age has been on the side Of the manu-
facturers and that the growers, es-
pecially under the Payne-Aldrich law,
got only fraction of the protection
they were supposed to receive, owing
to tricks of the manufacturers in
grading foreign woods.

Big French Dreadnaught Laid In
1912 Is Launched.

Torrent, France-The super-dread-
naught Provence was successfully
launched here Saturday. The rapid
construction of the ship constitutes
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments in the French government dock
yards. The order for the laying down
Of this ship was given in May, 1912,
and the minister of marine has marked
his appreciation by acceding one day Is
pay and half day vacation to all
the men employed on its construction.
The design of the Provence, the
Bretagne and the Lorraine, the three
super-dreadnaughts laid down in the
spring of 1912, shows radical change
in the armament. A single turret is
placed amidships, with an arc of fire
of 102 degrees on each side, instead of
two turrets abreast with an arc of 1870
degrees. The altered positions of the
masts and tunnels have led to some
changes in the location of the second
airy battery, consisting of % 5.5-inch
guns, of which Is will be mounted on
the upper deck behind seven-inch
armor, ID being forward of the amid
ships turret, while four are mounted
on the main deck beneath the after
turrets. The displacement is increased
to %, 637 tons.
