WASHINGTON, d. c., May .23.-
Announcement that the finance COM

from all parts of the country appeals
for an extension of time. They will
be disregarded, however and all
manufacturers who have inquired
have been notified that they may file

State Senator James Ross, OF
Massachusetts,. representing the Uni
ted Textile Workers Of America. ap-
pealed to Senator Johnson's sub-com-
mittee today for no less reduction on
cotton manufacturers than is pro-
posed,
Senator Hughes asked if he thought
the proposed cut would reduce
wages.
No, it won't reduce wages" said
Ross, fbecause we won't stand for 1t,
and the time is passed in this eoun-
try for any reduction in wages. We
have nothing to do with the manufac-
turer's end of 1t. but We feel that the
great reduction in cotton duties will
hrow men out of work.
If the duties on the finer grades
are cut it will put heavy drain on
the capitalization of the mills. 7 do
not think the cotton mills are over
capitalized. but the workers do fear
that men will be thrown out of work
because local manufacturers cannot
meet foreign competition if the du-
ties are too low"
Democratic leaders determined to-
day upon a plan to hurry. considera-
ton of the bill in the Senate Sem
ators Simmons and Hoke Smith de-
clared that when the debate begins
the Senate will meet daily at 10 a.

MINE STRIKERS DEFIANT;
THREATEN IRON COMPANY


WHARTON, N. j., May 23.-Well-
armed and defiant, the striking min
ers, as well as the citizens of Whar-
ton itself, are awaiting the next move
on the part of the Empire Iron and
Steel Company and the authorities.
The reopening of the Mt. Hope
Mineral railroad. over which all the
ore from the Mt. Hope mine is car
ried, will be attempted, it is said, on
Monday.
The miners say the reopening will
be fizzle. They base their assertions
on the fact that most of them have
obtained rifles during the cessation of
dsstilities. as well as supply of dy-
tiamite.
1t is not thought probable, however,
that the company will venture to try
to send a train over the line unless

S|SSON WARNS
u. S. ON TREATIES
Senator Avoiding" WarIike
Talk EmuIates Antony and
Patrick Henry.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Repre-
sentative Sisson, of Mississippi, made
his announced Japanese speech today
in the House. President Wilson. aft
er Mr.. Sisson recently made a war
speech" called the representative to
the White House and asked him not
to make another speech that might
complicate the diplomatic negotia-
tions with Japan or infiame the public
mind. Mr.. Sisson today disclaimed
any intention of making a war
speech" but attacked the position
that the treaty-making power super
seeded the law-making powers of the
sovereign States.
Mr.. Sisson declared he took his
position not because the Japanese
were involved; that he would take it
toward England, France, Germany or
any other nation, and that 1t only re-
quired patience and cool heads for
both countries to arrive at an AMIGA
BILE, fair and just settlement of all
differences.
"If any nation he said, should
decide that they will dictate to us our
land laws. then we would be un-
worthy of national existence il We
submitted to such dictation. Does
anyone claim that this is declara-
tion of war because l announce this
truth?
'If it is no declara tion of war for
the United States government to de-
cline to override the rights of SOW
ereign State at the dictation of a
foreign power. If the United states
government should deliver State
over to the mercies of a flood of aliens
from any nation. then maintain that
the Federal government would have
prostituted its authority Is the
mere announcement of this principle
a declaration of war?
IF the President and Senate can
make such a treaty let us tear down
every door of secrecy. Let us re-
ouire the President to publish every
letter and telegram bearing upon a
contemplated treaty on the very mo-
ment of Its dispatch. Let the cloture
of the Senate be removed. Throw

porations owning great tracts of land

posed to all restrictions upon labor

Il do not want this government to

HIGH CAR STEPS
AGAIN DEBATED
Photographs Used as Evidence
Before the Public UtiI-
ity Commission.

Further debate on the question of
the height of steps on the cars of
the Public Service Railway Company
was heard before the Public Utilities
Commission at the Court House to-
day, when the railway company in
troduced in evidence a large number
of photographs Of cars showing the
height of the steps.
The hearing is on the petition of
W. c. Davidson, of Jersey City. who
protests against the height of the
steps. At previous hearings held in
Jersey City, women have been pres
ent and demonstrated how hobble
and sheath skirts hamper them in
making the step TO get into the cars.
Today's testimony was purely tech
nical and was given by David H
Roezel, division engineer Of the
Hudson division of the Public Serv-
ice. under whose supervision the pho
tographs submitted were taken. The
object of the testimony was to dem
onstrate to the commission that the
high steps were a necessity to enable
the cars to clear the viaduct guard
rails in Jersey City and Hoboken.
Further testimony will be heard by
the Utility Commission.
The board today also listened to
testimony of members of the Little
Falls Taxpayers and Business Mems
Association relative to the moving of
the Erie railroad station at that town
from its present location to one more
conveniently reached by the citizens.
Action on the petition will be taken
later by the commission.

of Street and Water Commissioners
of Newark on the question of fares
charged by the Hudson and Manhat-
tan Railroad Company between this
city and points in Jersey City was
postponed until June s. The railroad
company now charges the same fare
