FARMERS SHARE OF LOSS
THROUGH MIDDLEMEN
Computation in Produce Price of the
Cost of Living in
Chicago.

CHICAGO. April 1O.-Frank James. a
farmer from near Des MoineS, Iowa. who
is here attending the First National Con-
ference on Marketing and Farm Credits
had an experience last night bordering
on the ludicrous. in so far as the pur-
poses of the meeting are concerned. He
attended theater, making the trip to
the playhouse in cab. and before start
ing drank bottle of milk and changed
his room at a hotel.
Where He Fails to Get His.
Then he made comparison to
where the farmer falls short in not get
ting his share of the ultimate price paid
by the consumer in the city by the fol-
lowing:
Four blocks trip in cab, equivalent of
four bLShels of rye.
Tip to bellboy, equivalent of two pounds
of butter.
Bottle of milk. three times what he was
paid for it on the farm.
Trip to theater equivalent of price of
one sucking pig.
That just shows US what We get back
when we have to do buying instead of
selling he said, after the experience.

Doubts if Rates Will Stand.

President Erwin declared he did not be-
lieve the bill would become law with
its present cotton rates, and that he
thought President Wilson would not APP
prove the bill in it's present form
He asserted that he disagreed very
much with Secretary of Commerce Red
field. who stated at the meeting yester-
day that tariff did not figure in the bust
ness of today.
A motion was passed making all ex-
presidents of the association members or
the tariff committee. Another resolution
urging the need of esta blishing cordial
relations between the cotton spinners OF
Europe and America instructed the as
scciation's delegates to the ninth Inter
national Cotton Congress at The Hague
June Q. 10 and II next, to convey the
greetings of this association to the for
eign spinners and to invite them to send
delegates to the next annual convention
of the American association. where they
will be allowed to take part in its de-
alterations.

TO PREVENT PASSAGE
European Spinners to Be Invited to
Attend Next Meeting of the
American Association.

Fears for the welfare of the cotton inr
dustry of the United States. should the
Underwood tariff bill become law, were
expressed at the final session of the sew
enteenth annual convention of the Amer
lean Cotton Manufacturers Association.
which adjourned today. The report of
the tariff committee asserted that should
the rates contained in the proposed law
become effective the conditions in the cot.
ton industry of this country would be-
come appalling. and that the committee
saw the publication of the new rates
with greatest regret and CONSERVATION. >
Much discussion was provoked by the
committees report r. M. Miller, jr.,
chairman of the tariff and legislation
committee in presenting the report de-
clared that the ways and means COM
mittee of the House had been told that
the cotton industry was near the dan
ger line and if they were to change
the rates on cotton goods at all they
should move them up a little, rather
than move them down He urged the
members to keep continued lab" on
the senators and representatives from
their states to use their influence in
changing the proposed rates

Victory for Underwood's Committee

The first skirmish of the tariff caucus
yesterday afternoon resulted in victory
for the ways and means committee. The
chemical schedule. with many changes
from existing law, will remain intact,
DESPITE several amendments offered on
specific items
Representative Metz of New York tried
to get the 10 per cent duty in indigo low

lures, whose schedule is affected by
heavy cuts in the textile revision sched-
ule This was beaten, 81 to 1O2 Repre-
sentative Webb of North Carolina advo-
Gated free castor oil as the poor mans

of Illinois wanted linseed Oil free and
Representative Bartlett OF Georgia want

cheap fertilizers.
Representative l. Engle of Florida an

ton that there should be an internal rev.

assessed against factories of all kinds

teen years of age or workmen at low
over by the caucus.
The democratic members of the finance
committee held another meeting today,
to further consider the program for re-
vision in the Senate. Chairman Simmons
had called meeting for last night after
the conference with President Wilson, but
1t was postponed. The desires of the
President for early action on the Under
wood bill and few changes in its rates in
the Senate were discussed by the demo-
cratic committee members today.

Oppose Cuts on Pottery.

House democrats met to resume consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill in caucus when
the House adjourned. The chemical
schedule having been approved exactly
as written by the ways and means COM
mittee, the earthen and glass ware sched-
ule was next Considerable opposition to
some of the cuts on pottery came from
New Jersey and Pennsylvania members
The House democrats have demonstrated
that a good working majority is support
ing Chairman Underwood and the ways
and means corAmittee. and this seems to
indicate that the caucus eventually Will
ratify the schedules as presented. includ-
ing free raw wool and the 25 per cent cut
in sugar with the provision for its going
on the free list in three years.
There are assurances, however. that
such a result will not be accomplished
without fight.

Discussed With the President.

Several sides of the tariff situation We're
discussed with President Wilson today.
Postmaster General Burieson an expert
in tariff questions. talked a long time
with the President. and another caller
was Representative Hardwick of Georgia,
another we'll informed student of the sub
iect and chair man of the special COM
mittee of the House that investigated the
sugar trust
Democrats from wool states, notably
Ohio. have developed feeling in the
democratic caucus tina. as sugar is to
have three years for REIMBURSEMENT be-
fore it goes On the free list. wool should
also be given similar consideration. Other
democrats, representing districts where
there are large manufacturing interests
that will be affected are beginning TO
show signs of dissatisfaction with the
exemption shown to the sugar industry
of Louisiana and western states, and are
intimating that certain lines of business
should be given time for REIMBURSEMENT.
Representative Hardwick intends to
make a fight in the democratic caucus, 1t
became known today, to have the three
wears exemption of sugar run from about
March 81 last and not three years from
the time the bill becomes law, which
proba bly, will be in July or August. HIS
view is that the housewives of the coun-
try should get the benefit of the reduction
OF cent pound before the preserving
season opens in the spring OF 1915
If they do not get the advantage OF the
lowe. prices before the November cleo
ton in 1915 the democrats may suiief at
the polls Three years from july OF
the price Of sugar to consumers before
the November election and there might
ba some sharp and direct questions for
the democrats to answer that year

NO HEARINGS ON TARIFF
BY SENATE COMMITTEE
Members Believe Sufficient
Information Has Been Re-
ceived on All Points.

The Senate finance committee has de-
termined not to have hearings on the
tariff bill. Manufacturers in many lines
OF industry have appealed to Chairman
Simmons and other members of the COM
mittee for an opportunity to present argu
ments against the rates proposed in the
Underwood bill. The Senate committee
members take the position, however. that
the hearings conducted by the House
ways and means committee in January
We're sufficiently thorough to cover prac-
tically all points the Senate needs to
consider in connection with the tariff re-
vision.
1t is believed now that the tariff bill
after 1T finally reaches the Senate will
not remain in the committee more than
ten days. Some expert testimony and
some new information upon certain dis
puted ideas may be secured by the COM
m1ttee. but no open hearings will be held.
The Senate was not in session today
and members continued the study of the
tariff bill in private. Republican forces
are preparing for united attack upon the
democratic revision on the ground that
1T not only destroys all protection to
many American industries. but that in
many features 1t practically is a free
trade bill 1t is expected that a confer
ence of republicans will be held within a
few days to discuss some of the more
drastic features of the proposed demo-
CRATIC revision
