SULLY COTTON CORNER
OBJECT OF PROBERS
Resolution by Senator Smith that
Would Authorize Secretary Red
field to Investigate.

A resolution empowering the Secretary
of Commerce To discover the names Of
those who sold the cotton purchased in
1910 by d. J. Sully and others who at
tempted to corner the market was intro
duced in the Senate yesterday by Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina The reso-
luton went over for one day.
Objection was made by Senator Clark
of Wyoming to the form of the resolu-
ton. He said the Department OF Justice
should make the inquiry. Senator Smith
said that former Attorney General Wick
ersham had written an opinion indicat-
ing that the department had no author
ity to initiate an investigation which
might result in an indictment. He said
Attorney General McReynolds held the
same view.
rs II necessary that the Secretary of
Commerce have this resolution passed
before he can make the investigation?
asked Senator Borah.
II believe So" said Senator Smith.
That will relieve the manufacturers
who are to be investigated" said Sena-
tor Borah.
Senator Smith asserted II was not
right that only those should be indicted
who purchased cotton in 1910. He alleged
that unlimited cotton had been sold
which was not in the possession of the
sellers nor in the visible supply of cot
ton. He thought their attempts to de-
press the price was as culpable as the
attempt of Sully to corner II.

found a hardship. 1t heightened the
recesses between working periods, but
added nothing to the hours of actual
labor. Possibly the employees would
regard overtime pay as an adequate
compensation for being occasionally

The nature of the service makes abso-

impossible without mourning great
waste

which will permit little more elias
ITCHY in the time of regulation and the

That "Eight-hour-in-ten" Clause.

By rushing through an emergency
appropriation of $4,000, Congress has
indicated its appreciation of the seri-
business of the DISCRIMINATION of the
postal service resulting from the eight
hour law. Clerks and carriers OF the
FIRST and second class postofices long
have been working under an eight-hour
schedule, but the new requirement is
that the eight hours of work must fall
within ten consecutive hours.
The exigencies of the service make
this impracticable because incoming
mails at no Office arrive within the
period stated. If an arrival is delayed,
even FIVE minutes, or if a mail hap
pens to be extra heavy, there is no
discretion. The employees must rush
the sorting and delivery, lest the time
limit be exceeded, and the delayed mail
must lie over until the following day.
Deferred deliveries have been the con-
sequence everywhere; particularly de-
iiyeries of second-class matter.
There are two alternatives, either an
increase of the service force or a
modification Of the law. The force
cannot be employed overtime and be
given overtime pay, for the require
ment of the "eight-houts-in-ten" pro-
vision permits no deviation. But an
increase of the force would mean a
greatly enlarged pay roll. The emer-
gency appropriation of $4,000 admit
teddy is but one-sixth the estimated an
nual cost of the innovation. The pur-
pose OF the recently amplihed pro-
vision was to meet a small number of
difficult cases, which just as well Gould
have been provided for in another way.
As rule, the old order had not been

Fixed Prices.

Fixed prices went by the board yes
terday when the Supreme Court gave
the retailer "of a patented, restricted
article the right to sell without regard
10 restriction, as the right of the manu-
facturer expired when he sold to the
jobber"
Some OF our retailers have been
hailed into court because they have cut
long-standing fixed prices, and the
people have had the benefit.
The very spirit of the fixed price is
against the public veal, and, if car
ried TO many articles, would be bur-
den, 1t giving the manufacturer GER
tain fixed price and profit regardless
OF value, and seeking thereafter to con-
troll the retailing as well.

let the Representative go first, appa-

Schedule K-The Wool Tariff.

Harry George is reported to have
said that there was no more sense III
talking about tariff reform than about
cholera reform: that both should be
exterminated. The other extreme may
be illustrated by the statement OF
William NJ Wood, the president of the
American Wooden Company, who IS
now facing the charge of conspiracy
IN the courts of Massachusetts,.
Schedule K" he says, much
u1aEened, much misunderstood, if prop
erly understood would be the most ap-
preciated OF any schedule in the tariff,
and if all schedules in the tariff were
as scientifically based and as well
poised and balanced as Schedule K, II
would be the most remarkable docu-
ment. next to the Constitution of the
United States, that the human mind
has ever produced"
Such statements as these will enter
tain but not convince the man who IS
looking for the truth. The demand
for free trade and for the burning OF
the custom houses is seldom heard
and never urged seriously by men with
authority 10 put their ideas into law.
Nor are ultraconservatives, like Will
lam Wood, able longer to dictate legis-
lation as they were in the days of Al
drich. The group of worshipers who
revered the sacred structure of SEIZED
ule K are rapidly decreasing. That
citadel of protection, that collection OF
medieval compromises, is giving place
10 more reasonable and equitable legis-
lation.
Only an expert can understand
Schedule K of the present law. II is
complicated, not only by the fact that
it contains specific and ad valorem and
compound duties. but also by the fact
that it fixes the duty on raw wool and
then endeavors both to compensate the
manufacturer for the rise in the cost
of raw wool due to the duty and to
give him protection. The schedule is
ingenious, but ingenuity that is incon-
sistent with justice gave it birth.
The Underwood bill has cut the
rates in Schedule K numerically. Pos
sibly the rates in this schedule should
ultimately be fixed at the level proposed
by this bill But note of warning is
not impairment. Too much zeal may
defeat the very object of the Demo
Gratis. Conservative wool manufac-
turers now think that their hope is, not
in the Republicans, but in the radical
Democrats; not in standpatism, but in
too much downward revision. They
say that they are ready for the lean
years that follow Democratic tariff
folly, because they believe that the re-
action from too much revision will
carry them back TO fat years and a
prohibitive tariff. They regard, the
moderate revisionist as their worst
enemy. 1t therefore behooves the
Democrats to move with elaboration
and to enact into law such rates as
will endure.

The recent decision of the Superior
Court of Massachusetts, TO don flow
ing robes of black" for the purpose of
boosting the dignity of the court re-
calls the case of former Delegate
Rodey. of New Mexico.
Shortly after Rodey left Congress he
was appointed Federal judge of Porto
Rico by President Roosevelt just before
he left Washington to enter on his new
job. Rodey consulted friend here in the
Department OF Justice about what he
ought to wear on the bench. He thought
that perhaps he ought to go to the same
woman who makes robes for the justices
of the United states Supreme Court and
have her take his measure.
81 don't believe I would go In for too
much dignity down there advised
Rodey's friend. TT seems to me that
you ought to set them a good example
in democracy. Go on the bench In nice
business suit of clean linen, such as they
wear down in those tropical countries,
and IL you can't command the respect
of the bar and the people In that simple
garb, quit the job and come on home
Four years later. when Rodeys term
expired. he was again in Washington,
ana his friend asked him what he ever
did about the little matter OF judicial
garb.
when I went there" said Rodey.
they showed me a gorgeous black robe
with lace on the collars and Guns ana
cords to tie it with. and they told me
to wear it. But I didn't"
"And what became Of the robe?" the
friend asked.
"oh.' replied Rodey. the janitor died
one day and I got them to use 1t for a
shroud to bury him in"
So that is what became OF the gor-
seous gown of the Federal Court OF
Porto Rico.
