DYE HOUSE HELP ON STRIKE
Continued from Page 1.o

According to the men, idle upon the streets, who apparently are without adequate leadership, conditions in the dye-house have long been unsatisfac- tory. Two shifts are employed one going upon duty at a. n. and quit ting at p. n. and the night shift be- ginning at 5:15 p. m. and continuing until the morning hour. The average pay is 20 cents per hour with no time for lunch.
 The first serious trouble is said to have begun when additional night fore men were placed in the room. It is alleged that these straw bosses" are unacquainted with the work and made the toll unnecessarily laborious. The discharge of several o1d-tirne employees precipitated the strike. A demand is now made for more money and the busting of the undesirable foremen. A deputation of about 50 attempted to seek the management this morning but were not permitted to enter the fac tory. They were told that they would not be treated with until they return ed to their work. This the men re- fused to do.
 An attempt of a Farmer reporter to secure a statement from the fac tory management likewise met with re- buff The accredited manager of the plant professed to be unfamiliar with the facts. He referred the reporter to an assistant manager, who in turn referred him to the secretary, MT. Stead. MT. Stead was out.

This years horse show will be one of the best in the eastern states and many famous horses will be on show.

 The poultry show will be crowded with the best birds, over twenty-two hundred having been entered. This feature of the great fair is rapidly de- yeIoping into one of the largest poul- try shows in the country, vieing with the Madison Square and other nation al shows in the quality of birds exhib- ited.
 The automobile show will bring to- gether the new 1914 models of the lead ing makes Enough space has been engaged to fill an acre of ground space, overf1owing the big auto build ing and necessitating the use of tents
 Pure food shows, railway land shows, the Canadian government grain show, live stock shows, and Ia wonderful dis play of agricultural machinery under belt It is the largest collection that is brought together on competitive basis anywhere in New England.
 The free attractions, commonly call ed grand stand features, include Prof. Mack, the worlds champion aeronaut, who uses four parachutes in his ex- hibitfon The professor invites a young lady to accompany him on one of his daily visits to the clouds. He is fla nous the world over for his daring, and yet he has never had an accident, apparently bearing charmed life Auto polo, the Bounding Hay Wa gon," the Flying Dordens," educated animals. and a dozen or so other acts, all by famous entertainers, will fill to overf1owing every moment of the wis itors' time.

SI8,OOO, IN SURPLUS FROM
 TARIFF BILL

Washington, Sept. 3O-The rates of the tariff bill, as it comes back to the House for approval, proposes a. lower taxation than any tariff bill in the last three quarters of century, said Representative Oscar Underwood, Dem ocratic leader of the House, in the opening speech, today, in support of the conference report on the tariff bill.
 '"The bill as it is now before sthe House is lower in it's rates than eith- CT the bill that passed the House or the bill that passed the Senate for the House conferees accepted all but three or four of the reductions made by the Senate while the Senate receded from over one-half of it's increases.
 This tariff bill, with it's 26 per cent. average, is almost low as the fa- nous Walker tariff, which had low duties on liquor and tobacco. Be- sides it's great reductions on articles of general use, this bill places many of the necessities of life on the free list or gives them very low rates of tariff
 Representative Underwood's state ment was greeted with applause from the crowded Democratic side of the House. In contrast with the average tariff of 26 per cent. ad va1orem in the Underwood-Simm bill, he said the existing Payne law has an average of over 40 per cent. and the Wilson bill passed by the last Democratic admin istration had. an average of over 39 per cent.
 The revenues under the new law. MT. Underwood said, would yield a surplus of SIS, 100000 over estimated government expenditures in 1915. He gave the House the treasury experts figures made public, yesterday, show ing that the total government revenue in 1915 would be 8, ,O26, 900 900, expendi- lures $1,oos, 100000 surplus SIS, ,OOO GOO.
