Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford on his way to his home city from Washington for a few days stop ped over in this city today for a few hours to visit his brother Edward Lonergan of the firm of Lonergan & Downey.

 Congressman Lonergan was asked as from the committee considering the banking and currency bill.
 He said he had talked with House Chairman Glass who is in charge of the bill in the House, Thursday, and he was told at that time the bill would be ready for presentation by the first of August.
 ''In your opinion, Congressman, will the bill first be presented to the Dem ocratfc House caucus.

CUMMINS IN ROLE OF
 PROPHET OF DISASTER
Half Hearted Progressive Predicts Overthrow Of Democracy In I9I6--Does Not Like
 The Democratic Tariff Bill

Washington, July 19-Senator Cum mins, opened the tariff debate to-day for the Progressive Republicans, de clared that the Republican party lost the confidence of the people and twas driven from power largely because 1t insisted upon the maintenance of i'm port duties, many of which were Un- necessarily and progressively high
 -'The Democratic party" he assert ed, will soon be oyertaken with a hict upon the country a tariff law invites the peri1s of free trade, and imposes duties that are dangerously and destructively low, and which, from end to end, gr1evously discrfm- mates against the west in favor of the east, that is to say in favor of the manufacturer against the farmer.
 t'The Republican craft went down in the whirlpool of Scyl1a in 1912 and its Democratic successor is steering straight for the rocks of Charybdis, where it will go to pieces in the stress of 1916.
 There is passageway to safety and prosperity. The Progressive Re pub1icans charted in 1909 and they will chart it again in 1913. Some time the American people will make the trip under these pilots, but in the meantime we must suffer another bearing it's hardships, as I hope we will, with patriotism and for titude."

that he considered destructive and en- ator Cummins criticized the President sbers of Congress concerning the tariff bill, an influence, he said, ''so persist ent and determined that it becomes coercive.''
 s.I do not charge, nor do I believe '' said Senator Cummins, that the Pres ident, in terms, barters this power for legislative subornation, but I do say that without barter, the knowledge of the consequences that may follow leg islative independence will bring about all the evils of actual wrong, unless the most scrupulous care is exercised in communications between the Pres tdent and members of Congress. It lies with the President himself to mark out the path of propriety and to pursue such course as will en- able every member of the legislative branch of our. public affairs to feel free and unrestrained in every vote that he casts
 ''I am not one of those who believe that general disaster will necessarily follow the enactment of the bill now before us UnQueStionably it will in crease the importation and diminish the home production of a great many things, but I earnestly hope that it's effect in that respect will not reach the proportions of an industrial rev oIution- It is easy to sees however, that the depression which must inevi- tab1y follow might be aggravated by other causes into general disaster

 When, in your judgment, will Com gress adjourn?
 ftIt depends on the attitude of the Senate with respect to the banking and currency bills. We may look for a comparatively early adjournment providing the Senate does not take up the currency and banking bill. How ever, should the Senate elect to take further action on the bill after the House considers it, it is extremely inn probable that there will be adjourn neent before December Continuing, he said: ''The Democratic House eau GUS is limited to consideration of mat teTs before it to the tariff. banking and currency, the contested election case in Michigan and emergency meas- ures, so called.

 The commission also held that the present joint through rate-and-lake rates from the east to Duluth depriv- ed Duluth '.of the advantage of it's To- cation at the head of the lakes,'' and resulted ''in discrimination against Duluth, which will be relieved in some n1easure by the reduction here requ1r- ed-''

DulutT's contention that rates on Lake and rail traffic from the East ought to break at its wharves, however, was not sustain ed.
 In brief the commission held that the present raiI-and-1ake class rates to Duluth from points east of the In dfana-Illinois stage line were unrea- sonable; and that the existing scale of through rates and lake class rate to Duluth was discriminatory as com pared with rates to Chicago.

RAILROADS AND UNION PLAYING
 WAITING CAME
Post Found Ineligible for Membership in
 Mediation Board
Dispute Still Serious As to Consideration of Roads
 Grievances

New York, July 19-Both railroads and unions are prepared ar play a waiting game to-day in the matter of the scope of the arbitration proceed ings looking to a settlement of the wage dispute involving 45 lines and nearly 100, GOO men.
 The general committee of 100 of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors met to consider last nights letter from their canagers in which they offered to leave to the newly appointment of Mediation and Consolidation the ques- tion as to whether the roads. griev- ances shall be arbitrated along with the mems demands for higher pay.
 While the unions have insisted that this proposal is mot even debatable'' and have instructed all members to strike, it is~understood that they will await the decision of the mediators. Neither side has agreed to abide by their findings Hope was expressed by both sides that the Senate would con- firm today the board as selected by President Wilson and that the mem bers would hurry to New York.
 Washington, July 19--when the new federal board of arbitration met today to organize and begin adjustment of the wage dispute between the eastern Id14rOAuS ana Ine1f Tra1nTnen, 1t was confror ted by the discovery that one of its members, Assistant Secretary Post of the Department of Labor was legally barred from serving.
 The Newlands law, under which the board was created, provides that, in addition to the federal commission, the member shall be officials of the gov ernment who have been appointed to their original offices with the confrma- tian Of the Senate. The Assistant Secreary Of Labor does not come un- der that classification.
 President wilson's attention was called to the oversight today and word came from the White House that while some one would be appointed in MT Posts stead, the situation did rot enbarrass the board, as the law provided that the President shall ap- point, in addition to the commission and an assistant, mot more than two'' such officers. Under that construc- ton the appointment of another mem ber seems to be optional with the Pres ident.
 Comm .ssIoner William Lea Cham bers, Assistant Commissioner Hanger and Judge Martin A. Knapp, the other of the board received ur- gent requests today x from the rail- roads and the trainrnen to begin work. It is believed that this will be done without waiting for the aps pointnent Of the board in Mr. Posts place.

MAKES BOOZE HARD TO GET.

The intrastate liquor shipment bill
passed at the regular session of the
Thirty.third legislature, with refer.
ence to the shipment of liquor into
dry territory, did not leave the dry
territory fellows entirely without
hope. Particularly was this true in
regard to border and near-border
counties, as there was no law against
liquor shipments into dry territory
from another state. The Allison bill.
however as passed at the recent spe-
cial session, puts a quietus on out-of-
state shipments, and is explained by
an exchange as follows:
The passage Of the new Allison
bill, forbidding the interstate ship
ment of intoxicants from one state
into dry precincts Of another state, is
going to make it still harder for the
boys in the dry counties to get
drink in any other way than by going
after it. The bill passed at the reg
ular session stopped the intrastate
shipments of booze from a wet to a
dry, county, and its chief result was
that the state liquor houses promptly
established agencies in nearby wet
states, whence they continued the
same old business at the usual rate.
The only difference was that one had
to give notice of an expected thirst
sooner and that 1t gave the railroads
and express companies a considerably
longer haul. The new law eliminates
this and about the only way to get
it now is to go after it, being partic-
ular. under heavy penalty of peni-
Tertiary sentence. to be sure that you
