REVISING The TARIFF.

Hearing by House Committee So Far
Have Caused no Change in Prcviou,

Washington, Jan. - 2-Democratic
members of the house committee on
ways and means are planning to 90
closely into the affairs OF the Alumi-
mum company Of America and the
Waltham Watch company when their
representatives. testify at an adjourn
ed hearing on the metal tariff sched-
ule next Tuesday. Both companies
nave been charged with being trusts.
Both companies were represented
here Friday and Saturday but were
not reached before the adjournment
at midnight last night.
Tomorrow will be devoted by the
committee on tariff schedules I'D" COW

"L' silks and silk goods Neither Of
these schedules was affected by any
Democratic revision last session.
John P. Bartlett Of New York. re-
presenting clients interest in the
aluminium duty has filed with the com
mittee a brief alleging that the all
uminum industry practically is in the
hands of one concern, the Aluminium
company Of America, controlling SUBJ
stantially all the sources of aluminium
in the country. The brief also sets
forth that the company was sued in
federal antitrust proceedings and
that, while it suffered a decree to run
against it, conditions are in criminal
practice about the same.
Aurthur L. Davis Of Pittsburgh, re-
presenting the aluminium company, has
been urged by the committee to ap-
pear Tuesday.

and that the American watch indus
try is depressed"
SO far the hearings Of chemicals
and iron and steel has not led to any
indication Of any material change in
the Democratic tariff position as franz
ed at the last session of congress.
There will be some minor changes
in the classification with some items
taken out of the groups and put into
socalled basket clauses" that take
care Of otherwise unprovided for items

There has been some suggestion Of
a dumping clause" to prevent the
sale of any goods imported into this
country at price much lower than
the selling price at home. Canada,
some such arrangements: but the
committee has not formally consider
ed it.
Testimony in behalf of the machine
tool manufacturing industry has been
to the effect that the manufacturers
have feared the effect of a dumping
clause would be some foreign retalia-
ton in the way of added tariffs and
bad feeling and a possible lacking up
Of the whole German tariff system
against American goods"
This was in response to the COM
mittee's questioning as to the effect
of coupling a 10 per cent. reduction
on machine tools with the insertion Of
a dumping clause in the metal sched-
ule to prevent the American market
being flooded when the foreign mar
ket suffered from reproduction.

THE RED FLAG OR
THE j. s. FLAG?
To the Daily Sentinel:


An answer to the open letter adj
dressed by Mr.. Benjamin F. Jay to
the socialist candidates for the school
board.
The red flag is not n substitute nor
in any way substitute for the Stars
and Stripes. Ii is used as a symbol
of International socialism and univer-
sal brotherhood No ism" has a
monopoly on the red flag. For ages
1t has been the banner of labor, the
insignia of the working class, both on
the battlefield and in the peaceful
pursuits of industry
Socialists use the red flag, not be-
cause of any proprietary interest held
by them in this emblem, but because
socialism is working class move
ment and naturally marches under
the color of the class of which it is
the political representative.
Old Glory is a national banner. We
know of no reason why socialist
should not appreciate those who
fought the battles of his own genera
ton, the battles which had to be
fought in the course OF the evolution
OF the race toward socialism. For
out part we do appreciate them and
ner under which they fought.
Capitalism is trailing the flag in the
dust Socialism will rescue it. Cap
italism makes the Stars and Stripes
stand for everything brutal, infamous
and unjust. Socialism will make the
stars and Stripes stand for everything
that is Just, noble, and uplifting" So
since the red flag and Old Glory are
not In any manner a substitute for
each other there can be no preference
between the two. You might with
equal pertinence ask the Christian
Mhlch he prefers-the United States
nag or the Cross, or ask a member of
the w. c. T. U. whether she prefers
the United States flag or the bow of
white ribbon pinned on her breast.
In the second question, we do not
understand just what is meant by
this line of patriotism for the
United States flag" If you mean to
ask if We would vote to teach true pa
triotism in the public schools We by
all means would. We would have the
children taught that broader patri-
otism of love for Just principles of
government and of the brotherhood
of all mankind. If you mean that
false pretended patriotism that
Samuel Johnson said was the "last
resort of scoundrel," if you mean to
teach the youth of our land to cher
ish feeling of hostility toward 9TH
er countries, if you mean jingoism-
then we emphatically say No"
The organized socialist movement
of the world is relentlessly opposed
to war between nations, not only be-
cause wars are among the grossest
relics of barbarism and entail a
criminal economic waste through
standing armies and formidable ma
vies, but more particularly because
the sufferings and miseries of war
fall almost exclusively upon the
working class and militarism with its
inseparable companion, false patriot
ism, demoraliZe and debauch the pub
lie mind and are an obstacle to true
social progress.
The socialists hold that war be-
tween nations will disappear com
pletely only with the disappearance
of the system which inevitably breeds
them; that is, of the capitalist sys-
tenn of privately owned competitive
industry.
You ask if in a case similar to the
one related. We would vote to expell

Report Of the Ways and Means
Committee on Bill Brings
Out Salient Points.
(By Clyde II. Tavenner, Member of
Congress.

I by tlyue Ii. laNenner, Member oil
Congress-
Washington, April 29.-The report
on the Ways and Means Committee
on the Underwood tariff bill has
been published. For the benefit of
those who talk tariff with their
neighbors, / will give briefly some of
the salient facts brought out in the
report
Since 1897 the wholesale prices OF
all commodities used by the Ameri-
can people have advanced an average
OF A per cent. But some of the
prime necessities of life have adyanc-
ed much beyond that average. For
instance, farm products have increas-
ed SO per cent in price. Other food
products have increased AZ per cent
The increased cost OF clothing is SO
per cent and house furnishings "a
per cent.
At the same time there have been
growing up under the fostering care
of successive protective tariff laws
gigantic trusts dealing in the necess-
tiles of life. The Underwood report
names 224 of these industrial combi-
nations with a total capitaliza ton of
nearly nine billion dollars.
Another effect of prohibitive tar
ifs is the resultant waste of the
natural resources of the United States
resources which. when once ex-
hausted, can never be restored. With
foreign timber, ores and minerals
barred from importation by prohibit
tive duties, We have been exhausting
our own at ruinous rate.
While industries within the coun-
try are rapidly becoming monopoliZ-
ed and competition is being smother
ed, there has been no spur of foreign
competition to make our trusts adopt
the most efficient manufacturing
methods. Obsolete plants, old ma
chinery and out-of-date methods.
which practically have been elimi-
mated in foreign countries, exist in
this country. This is waste, and the
public pays for every dollar of it.
In the new bin the rates on per-
fumes, fine chinaware, automobiles,
lewelry. tobacco, oriental rugs. Paris
hats and other luXuries have been in
creased or maintained: the present
rates on such necessities as lumber,
soap, cutlery, sugar, meat, flours.
cotton and wool, clothing, paper and
shoes have been greatly reduced or
done away with altogether. Necessi-
ties placed on a free list will make
consumer of close to 500. 00O, 900:
while there will be other vast savings
in duties which have been reduced.
The republican theory of placing
duties which shall equalize the diff
ference in cost of production at home
and abroad, has been rejected, for the
reason that. to quote the report, "a
duty which equalizes this average
difference protects no one. since it
is more than is needed by the most
efficient producer, and less than is
needed by the least efficient produc-
err"
AS matter of fact. because of
American machinery and efficient
American workmanship, cost of pro-
duction here is no greater than it is
abroad.
The committee, however. recogniz-
es that even in inefficient factories
there are worllmen who must be pro-
tected from the hardships of a bust
ness panic. So the revision has been
made gradual, so that these factories
may gradually become efficient.

HOURS OF LABOR.

The action of congress in establish
ing the eight-hour day for contract

government is likely TO be far-reach-
ing in its effects. Five states also
have passed laws limiting the work
ing hours of men in private employ
ments. Arizona has established the
eight-hour day for mines and smell
ters. New Jersey the 10-hour day in

to the girls dressing room in the gym.
These are partly meeting seriously
felt need.
The grade report cards will be out
by Monday of next week. ,..
A teacher has been added to the
Van Buren, corps. Miss Georgia
Foote, who has taught for the last few
years in Moscow, will have charge of
the third grade in that building. Miss
Mcfarland, who has formerly had
charge of the second and third grades,
had enrolled 81 pupils previous to this
change Also, there were crowded
conditions in the third grade Wash
ington. The addition of the extra
third grade teacher has enabled us to
make some transfers which were i'm
perative in connection with the third
grade Washington. Transfers from
the same ward have made transfers
from the Lincoln building necessary.
In connection with transferring, we
de sire to say the following to the pub
lie generally, as we'll as to those per-
sons whose children have been trans
ferred:
No transfer from ward to ward is
ever made without some slight loss to
the pupil transferred. On the other
hand, this loss is comparatively small
in connection with a system of schools
where the various grades are doing
systematic and organized work. When
the matter of transferring becomes
imperative the only rational proce-
dure is to transfer the child who logi-
cally must 60 to the other ward. The
interests of no single child can over
balance the interests Of the whole
group of children. If we could con-
sistently deal with single parent in
this matter, without any regard tor
the other patrons of the school, we
would gladly place the child in what
ever ward the parent desired; but it is
the interests of the whole, rather than
OF any individual pupil that must be
taken into consideration. This policy
we have and shall endeavor honestly
| and earnestly to carry out.
Miss Charlotte Steelman, who has
taught the past three years in Rich
land, Wash, succeeded Miss Lena
Buckley of the Washington ward.
The policy of sending out quarterly
reports to the parent has been chang,
| ed to one of six weeks. 1t is hoped
thereby to bring the parent and schoo
| in connection more frequently. These
reports shall cover both attendance
and scholarship. 1t is hoped that each
parent will carefully examine the cards
that come into his home. The teacher:
want the parents to know what their
respective children are doing and also
what they can do.
If the pupils work is unsatisfactory
to the parent it is, of course, unsatis.
fectory to the teacher, provided botl
i,ave the same standards of judgment
Conference between teachers and par
ents may be helpful in the various
cases, to unity these standards and
to this end, they are highly desirable
