FUTURE AGREEMENTS
WILL BE KEPT SECRET

When they adjourned they had gone
over the bill for the second time as far
as the third schedule, that covering
metal and metal products. There was
a long debate over the wheat and flour
provisions of the bill, house members
objecting to the senate amendment i'm
posing a duty of 10 cents a bushel OF
wheat coming from a country that lev
les duty against wheat from the Unit
ed States. This question was not SCI
tied.
The conferees agreed to leave pig
iron on the free list where the senate
put it, but did not determine whether
ferro manganese ore should also be
free. A compromise was effected on the
automobile schedule by which the low
rates fixed by the senate were IL
creased slightly, and an agreement was
reached on the glove schedule, reduc-
ing somewhat the increases in rates
made by the senate.

their party, for they said that even
partial free trade with the Philip
pines meant the wiping out Of the
beet sugar industry in Colorado.
One of these senators went to the
Islands to investigate for himself.
and when he returned he announced
that the Philippines could produce
all the sugar consumed in this coun-
try at one-half the cost Of produe-
tion in Colorado. Then the Denver
Chamber Of Commerce met and
gravely adopted some more resolu-
tlons deploring the Outrage" involv-
ed in admitting even three hundred
Thousand tons of sugar from the Is
lands.
Now we have it on the word Of the
Filipino Commissioner that the elo-
quent Senator's persuasive speeches
and the torrid resolutions of the
Chamber of Commerce were merely
fairy tales, and that the Filipino su-
gar planters will be ruined If the
United States gives it's citizens free
sugar.
Evidently the Representatives Of
the Sugar Trust have lost their
sense Of humor or they would not
have put the Filipino witness on the
stand.
