The wooden industry is quiet just
now. 1t is marking time while the
tariff bill is pending. AS soon asthe
Underwood bill becomes law the
wooden industry will jump back into
its stride. Those are the conclusions
of writer in ''News Letter" pub
lished by well-known financial
house. In support of his conclusions
the writer refers to the situation of a
year ago when a wooden tariff bill
was under consideration. Then, as
now, the wooden business was dull,
but as soon as the tariff question was
settled the mills resumed full opera
ton and a record season followed.
Il Is doubtless fair to presume that
the attitude of business generally
toward the Underwood bill is like that
q the wooden industry. There is no
fear of the new tariff law. It is the
delay in enacting the bill into law
which makes it impossible for BUSH
ness to know positively the conditions
TO which it must adjust itself that re-
tards enterprise. And for that delay

DEMOCRATS PROPOSE
CONN MlTTEE REFORMS

Washington, March 15.-Senator
Kern, majority leader of the senate,
and the democratic caucus commit
tee, today were presented with re-
form proposals of the democratic
steering" committees. Among the
reforms are: That the democratic
members of all conference committees
and subcommittee hereafter be cho-
sen from the democratic members of
the respective committees affected;
that the democratic caucus, instead of
a caucus chairman, hereafter choose
a steering committee; that a major
ity of each committee elect its own
chairman and that vacancies of all
committees be filled by the steering
committee with the approval of the
caucus.
1--WE PROPOSE" said Kern, that the
senate be democratic In reality. l hope
these resolutions will be adopted so
the country may know that the senate
is under democratic control and is an
active, efficient, and sympathetic
branch of a popular government which
will respond quickly to the will of the
people"

LA Toilette CALLS
AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, March Ex-senator La
Toilette made his first call last night
at the White House in more than
three years. He was the invited guest
of President Wilson and spent almost
an hour with the president. He
would make no statement as to the
purpose of his visit, but it has been
an open secret for days that he was
expected to discuss mattesr of legis-
lation with the president.
1t was generally understood that
President Wilson wished especially to
get the views of Senator LaFollette as
true progressive upon tariff revi-
sion, currency legisls ton Alaska, and
the effect of physical valuation of
railroads as provided for by congress
in the closing days of the last session.
The conference was merely prelimi-
nary to others to be held later. other
progressive senators will be asked to
the White House from time to time
and the president hopes that many
of them will find it consistent to line
up with the democrats in passing
what he believes is progressive legis-
lation.
Senator La Toilette was apparently
in high good humor when he depart
ed, for, although he would not talk
about his visit he joked with the
newspapermen who We're waiting to
see him.
This is my first visit in three
years to the White House." he said
in answer to an inquiry. "I came once
after the special tariff session, called
by President Taft, but 1 was not re-
ceived."
We'll, how do you feel now?" he
avs asked.
Fine" said the senator as he
stepped into his autombile.

POWERS TAKE UP
PEACE QUESTION
WITH BALKANS

London, March 15.-Ambassadors
representing the several powers met
today informally to consider the reply
of the Balkan allies in regard to terms
on which they would negotiate with
Turkey for peace. 1t was admitted
by several ambassadors that the pow
ers cannot accede to the allies de-
mands. The indemnity is regarded as
exorbitant.
The powers probably will refuse to
agree to an extension of the Bulgarian
frontier to Rodosto, or give Greece the
Aegean islands. 1t is reported the
Balkan states purposely made the de-
mands exorbitant to prevent a peace
conference until Scutari and Adrian
ope are captured. 1t is believed ca
pitulation of the two fortresses is a
matter of few days.
