Progressive Republican Conference
Goes on Record for an Imme-
diate National Convention.

CHICAGO, May 12.-That n unit
ing of the progressive party with
the republican party is not only de-
sin ed but actually Is sought, was the
gist of sentiment expressed at the
close today of two-days' conference
at which republican leaders outlined
plans for reorganlzing the party.
Herbert s. Hadley, formerly COVER
nor of Missouri. who with Senators
Cummns, Borah and Sherman, led
the discussion at the conference, said
afterward that the desire to have
those back in the party who left 1t
to Join the progressive party was
manifest" The coalition, he added,
was not to be effected by any scheme
such as the passing of resolutions by
leaders, but rather a remedying of
tie causes in the republican party
which resulted In the separation"
The conference, attended by six
Tilted States senators, numerous
members of the house Of represent
atives and leaders from states as
distant as Massachusetts and Califor-
mia, resulted in the issuance of
statement. 1t expressed the belief
that the republican national commit
tee should call republican national
convention at an early date as pos
sible to effect radical changes in
party affairs and especially in ref
erence to conduct of national con-

Pushed Foreign Trade.

I'VE have made the strongest effort
possible to increase our foreign trade
as compared with our domestic
trade" Mr.. Farrell declared. Our
competitors have only been concern-
ed with foreign business when do
mostic trade has been insufficient to
keep their capacity employed. We
have kept after the foreign trade
continuously If we had not, 1t would
have been impossible to develop it,"
Contradicting the testimony of
William T. Corey, his predecessor az
president Of the corporation. that
there had been understanding"
between the corporation and foreign
manufacturers as to prices and divis-
ion of territory, Mr. Farrell said:
I'VE have never operated under
any pools or agreements with foreign
manufacturers, either as to price or
location. We have never entered in
to any contracts or agreements with
foreign manufacturers to stay out OF
their market provided they would
stay out of ours"
He denied also that the corpora
ton made practice" of selling its
products lower abroad than in this
country.
