Washington, Jan. disappointment
of a special committee of seven mem
bers to inquire into conditions sur
rounding the garment-making trade
and the recent strike in New York
is proposed in a resolution by REPRE-
sentative Berger, socialist, of Wiscon-
sin. Berger sets forth that the New
York clothing industry supplies trade
in a large section of the country
through interstate trade; that wages
in the industry are so low that
healthy surroundings and a decent
standard of living have become al,
most impossible; that vice and crime
are bred of needless misery coinci-
dent to the manufacture of the ma
tion's clothing, and that manufacture
is carried on in filthy, unsanitary
places saturated by germs of con-
sumption, smallpox, scarlet fever and
other contagious diseases"

DEMAGOCUES ARE
STUNG BY HOOPER

Nashville, Jan. 27.-Ben W. Hooper,
the second republican who has held
the governors office in Tennessee
since reconstruction days, was inaug-
urated for his second term today. In
an address he said:
Every progressive movement ever
undertaken in behalf OF the masses
has suffered from interference of self
seeking demagogues when its strength
became great or success apparent.
Such has been the case With the pres
ent progressive movement in this
country. 1t has generated radicalism.
Men who were not heard from
when Robert La Toilette was making
Wisconsin a model Of American state,
hood, seized his ideas OF restoring the
government to the people and went
forth in their advocacy, while the
trusts footed the bills ofthe campaign"

But when the democrats came in with

belief is less than % per cent Of the
prostitutes of this country would have
fallen II they had an equally good
chance to lead a pure life. That they
have been dragged into the mire in
such large numbers is due TO q variety
of circumstances, among which are
poverty, low wages, improper home
conditions, lack of training, desire to

Washington, Jan. 27.-Witnesses
representing national associations Of
wool manufacturers, growers, import
ers, clothiers and Independent manu-
facturers were before the ways and
means committee today when the
wool schedule, one Of the most COM
plicated features to come before the

General expectation among house
democrats is the committee will re-
port at the outset of the extra session
virtually the same wooden schedule,
as was Incorporated in the wool bill
vetoed by President Taft. The aver
age advalorem duty in the sched-
per cent. The democratic bill that
serves as tentative basis for present
consideration provides very much low
er duties.
EDITOR WANTS WILSON LAW.
Frank p. Bennett OF Boston, editor
of the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter, argued for the reenactment
or the wilson law or 1894. This was
plea for the entire removal of the
duty on wool and reduction Of tariff
on wooden goods to so per cent. He
said that would be in the interest of
both the manufacturers and Of sheep
husbandry by encouraging growers to
keep Improbable animals. The pres
ent duty OF 33 cents a pound on
secured wool had imposed a tax of
nearly a hundred million Upon the
American people. besides hampering
manufacturers, he said.
Joseph Holmes OF New York, a wool-
en- expert, contended clothing would
be no cheaper IL the duty on cloth was
removed. He said a suit or overeoat
containing SO worth OF cloth wholesal-
ed from SO to 80, and retailed at from
S12 TO $15.
