The, ways and means committee which will formulate the new tariff bills of congress is divided in it's Dem ocratic majority just about equal in a sectional sense. All parts of the United States are represented on it, and if the tariff is local issue, virtu- ally all the localities. giving each one a wide territorial sweep, will be rep resented Here is the list of the mem. bers of the majority of the ways and means committee and the states from which they come:
 Oscar w Underwood Alabama, chairman; Francis Burton Harrison, New York; Dorsey w. Shackleford, Missouri, Claude Kitchin, North Caro- lima; Henry T. Rainey, Illinois; Lin- coin Dixon, Indiana, Cordell Hull, Tennessee; w s. Hammond, Mime sota; Andrew J Peters, Massachu- sets; A. Mitchell Palmer. Pennsyl- vania; Timothy T Ansberry. Ohio; John S. Garner. Texas (newl; James W. Collier, Mississippi (new); Angus tus O. Stanley. Kentucky (new)
 These are the Democratic members of the new ways and means commit tee. The word new" appearing after the names of three members does not mean that they have just come into congress, but that they are new mem bers of the ways and means commit. tee chosen to fill vacancies.
 It seems probable today that the mi nority of the committee. the Repub- lican members, whoever they are to be, with the possible addition of Progressive or progressive Repub. lican, will not go to the trouble of pre- pairing minority report on the tar in

Harmony In the House.

The first great caucus of the Democrats of the new house and conferences which have followed it prove that thus far there is promise of continued harmony of ac- tion among the 290 members of the dominant party in the lower chamber In caucusing and in conferring things seem to have gone on smoothly. and the Democratic leaders prophecy that the party jn the house will be united on all matters pertaining to legisla- tion.
 Representative Underwood of Ala bama will still maintain his place of leadership in the house and his posi- tion as chairman of the ways and means committee. He has associated with him on the committee Democrats most of whose names are known pretty generally throughout the coun- try The minority members of the committee, the Republicans and, pos sibly, a Progressive member, will not be named until after the extra ses- sion begins
 It has been said time and again that the tariff is a local issue, this remark having been made originally by Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, Dem ocratic candidate for the presidency against James A. Garfield When General Hancock said. 'The tariff is local issue" he was jeered at all over the United States The jeering probably was the result of misunderstanding of just what the old soldier meant. Today Democrats, Re publicans, high tariff men and low tar if men say that events have vindi- cated Hancock and that the tariff is the most specific kind of a local Issue

wages, Siegel, Cooper & Co, quit CIV
ing "prof1t-sharing coupons" save in
a few departments.
The order to do this came from
Siegel, Cooper & Co. headquarters in
New York.
Before the order was put into eff
feet Joe Basch, general manager of
the store, called all the employees to-
gether.
He told them the 'proft-sharing
coupons" would not be given any
longer, and said that the reason was
that the management was afraid the
minimum-wage law would be passed
and that if it we're the store would
have to make it up somehow.
The "proft-sharing coupons no
longer are given, no minimum-wage
law has yet been passed.
Siegel, Cooper & Co. ought to be
right happy. They are taking the
cost of an increase in wages to their
underpaid employees out of the pub
lie and showing the coin into their
own jeans.
Here is an actual instance of how
Siegel, Cooper & Co. is fighting the
organization of it's employees. The
name of the girl in the case is sup
pressed because the publication of it
would do no good. But the name is
in the possession of The Day Book,
and if the 0'Hara commission wants
to verify the facts it is welcome.
This girl, whom we shall call Miss
x, has been with Siegel, Cooper &
Co. for years. She is a good sales
woman. At Siegel, Cooper & Co: her
sales usually were higher than those
