INDEPENDENT STEAMSHIP LINES

Fighting the trusts is a task which is not confined to ithe land alone for there has developed the fact that there is as great combination in control of shipping as thepe has ever been in regard to businees. Two steamship lines operatifss from southern cities recently have been. obliged to quit bus mess, even though at a time when the prospects for even greater trade could be anticipated and particularly so in- asmuch as one of them operated be- tween this country and South America. in which direction expansion is looked for. It was not the lack of cargo from this direction but the inability to meet the rebates offered by the trust ships for return cargo which crippled the business.
 It is a sensible view which the Charleston News and Courier takes when it says: ~@The place to fight for stea mship lines night now is before the house committee on the merchant marine. The fight against railway re- bates must be duplicated in a fight against steamship rebates. The use of the canal must be denied not only to ships owned by competing railways, but to ships which give rebates or are engaged in a conspiracy to drive independent ships out of business. The present law must be enforced or new law enacted to prevent foreign carriers driving by unfair and arbitrary measures our carriers from the seas. We hare just begun to see how abso- lutely bottled up the nation is by conspiracy between German and Eng lish steamship lines, and by trust agreements at home.''
 This country has gradually decreased in it's merchant vessels, condition to be regretted and one which every effort. should be made to overcome for the benefit of an important branch of industry which should be revived and made to take it's proper place with other nations in shipping.

MANUFACTURERS BIG YEAR.

Steady progress sn the manufactur
 ing line is being mi ade in this country, a fact which is of, great importance to the industrial ctivity which is looked to as the H aroneter. of pros perity In the past year the nlarufac- turers seem to have made their high est record as measui red by the amount of raw material uSed in the leading industries In many of these industries a large proportion of the raw material is brought from abroad and by the methods of nlea surfing these imports and also the mea h1s of knowing the movements of certain domestic ma terials the government statistfcians show that 1912 established a new mark In practice lily all articles i'm ported for use in manufacturing tha quantities enteringt the country were larger than ever before, the move ments of iron ore on the great lakes exceeded previous marks and domestic goods likewise showed an extraor dinary activity. The importations amounted to 625 million while the highest previous mark was 542 mill lion two years ago, while manufactures for further use in manufacturing to- tailed over 300 mil lion or twelve mill lion more than last year.
 All such has it's effects upon the manufacturers and workTnen of this country It is the factory running full time and paying the higher wage which prevails here in contrast with foreign countries which gives prosper ity The conslmTsHo n of raw material shows that it was well started last years, a condition which for the best interests of the cos lntry should be maintained and eve ry influence used to accomplish it.

WILSON OPPOSED
TO ANY RECESS
President Insists on the Disposal of
the Currency Bill at This
Session of Congress-

Washington, Aug. 14.-President
Wilson today informed Democratic
senator's that he is unalterably on
poseo to any recess of the senate be-
tween the time the tariff bill is pass
ed and currency is taken I'D.
1T was made plain to the senator's
that the President believes it the
duty of the Democratic party not to
hesitate in its program of legislative
reform, but to dispose of the tariff
and currency during the present
session of Congress so that the De
cember session may promptly take
up antitrust and other important
legislation carrying out the platform
pledges.
The President communicated his
views through Secretary Tumulty,
who last night and early today got
in touch with most of the Democratic
senator's and came to the conclusion
that a substantial majority was in
favor of immediate legislation and
no recess.
The President took a strong posi-
tion on the question of legislative
agreements between Democrats and
republicans in Congress. He believes
that the Democrats as the dominant
party should proceed with determi-
nation and not trade with the
minority.
The fact that Republican senators
had informally agreed to speed I'D
consideration of the tariff bill if a
recess were assured after its passage,
prompted the President to urge that
business throughout the country de-
manded early action on the tariff
regardless of whether any vacation
or recess was promised in return.

BRITO RELEASED
ON $4,000 BOND
says President Huerta Had Him Ar
rested to Prevent His Join
ing Carranza.

New Orleans, Aug. 13.-What was
considered delicate situation be-
tween the United States and Mexico
was somewhat cleared here TODAY
when Emmanuel c. Brito, former
governor of the Mexican state of
Campeche, arrested on charges of
murder and robbery in Mexico was
released on bond of $4,000. 1t was
stipulated that Brito was to report
every day to the United States mar
shall here for forty days. the time
given in a treaty with Mexico for
that government to produce proof of
his guilt.
Brito does not deny that he killed
one or Huerta's men when he came
to arrest him, but argues that il was
done in time Of war, Is n political of
fence and not eXtraditable. He was
arrested on instructions of Attorney
General McReynolds several davs
ago. The federal district attorney
here today received message from
Mr.. McReynolds advising that Brito
be allowed bond.
United States Commissioner Ar
thur Browne was not inclined at first
TO allow bail, saying he would be
governed entirely by his interpreta-
tion of the law. After the attorneys
for Brito had argued that the Mexi-
can was arrested on instructions
from the attorney general when the
Huerta government was not formal
ly recognized by the United States
and that Mr.. McReynolds had in
turn advised allowing bond. the
commissioner agreed to accept the
bond.
Brito's release came soon after he
mad learned that Mexican federals
had ratded his ranch in Campeche
and destroyed all buildings and
drove off his live stock. He also
learned that the federals had taken
his daughter by his first wife pris-
oner. His second wife is with him

WILL REMAIN IN SESSION
Democrats in Congress Will
Stay Until Snow Flies"
IN SPITE OF THE REPUBLICANS
democratic Caucus Meets and Deter.
mines to Dispose of Tariff and
Currency Legislation.

washington, Aug. 14.-Congress
VIII remain in session until snow
mes and If necessary prolong the ex-
IRA session until the regular term
begins in December to DISPOSE OF
tarlf and currency legislation.
Ihis was the decision of the DEM
ocratlc caucus of the senate tonight
which adopted a resolution declaring
that Congress should proceed to con.
slder and determine legislation con-
cernlng currency and banking imme-
diately following the passage of the
pending tariff bill.
The decision to keep at work until
the legislative program outlined by
president Wilson has been disposed
OF come after a motion offered by
senator Lewis following the passage
OF the tariff bill, had been withdrawn
Tor lack of support Though there
were some Democratic senator's who
favored a recess the events of the
day in the senate, which showed the
purpose of the Republicans to debate
the tariff at length, had served to
convince the majority that any recess
was out Of the question.
Determination to take up currency
legislation did not carry with it ap-
proval OF any policy or commit the
party to any particular currency bin.
Senator Owen, chairman of the
banking and currency committee, Of
tered the original resolution. This
directed that the senate take up for
consideration the Glass-Owen bill
now in caucus to the house Consid-
cradle discussion followed the in
PRODUCTION of this and several amend
ments were offered, the resolution
finally adopted being a composite
effort, which would not commit the
senate Democrats to any set cur
rency.

the tariff, because the minority may
Know Just what our purpose is.
This Will serve notice on the Re-
publicans that we can stay here Just
as long as they can and that we will
prolong this into the regular session
If necessary"
Senator Kern, chairman of the
caucus, said that the action was pre-
ceded by harmonious deliberation.
The motion for a recess until No
vember l or 15 after the passage of
the tariff bill, he asserted, received
so little support that IL was with
drawn before being put TO vote
Most of the discussion related to
the currency resolution. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. a member Of
the banking and currency commit
tee, who was opposed to the enact
ment of such legislation at this time
and not in harmony with the pending
currency bill, vigorously objected to
any action that would commit the
Democrats to a definite policy.

MAY PASS TARIFF
BILL AND RECESS
vember 4, After Passage of I'm
derwood-SimmOns Measure.

Washington, August 13.-Discus-
sion of the agricultural schedule and
the proposed free listing of wheat
in particular, enlivened the tariff
discussion to-day in the Senate,
Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
proposing in lieu of free wheat a
duty of six cents a bushel.
Action on the amendment was de-
ferred owing to the prolonged de-
bate, a fact which again aroused
Democratic leaders to a realization of
the necessity for some action to speed
up consideration of the measure If
possible. To this end a Democratic
caucus will be discussed and a pro-
posal will be made ror an agreement
that a recess OF Congress be taken
until November 1 after the passage
of the tariff bill in the senate and
the currency bill in the house. This,
some senators assert, would induce
Republicans to cut short discussion
of the tariff, and would also over
come all Democratic opposition to
currency legislation at the special
session.
