LABOREn WITH WILSON.
The Emery correspondence suggest
ed bitter feud between the Manu-
facturers' association and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in an at
tempt to control the legislative agen-
cies of the government. Discussing
the sundry civil bill, with its provision
prohibiting expenditure of certain
funds for prosecution of farmers So
cieties and labor unions under the
Sherman law, Mr.. Emery wrote TO
President John Kirby, Jr. of the asso-
citation March Z, 1913, after Mr.. Taft
had vetoed the bill:
81 want TO emphasize as hard as
can the importance of lining up for a
tremendous demonstration when this
bill reaches President Wilson, as it
undoubtedly will, with the same pro-
vision in it,
You will then have an early op-
por.unity to decide whether the git
tering democratic motto equal rights
for all and special privileges for none
means anything or whether the admin
istration has surrendered completely
or will merely turn over the depart
ment Of labor
PROTEST "WASTE OF BREATH"
Il note, by the way, your reference
to a letter from c. w. POST on the
question of a protest over the appoint,
ment of Wilson Csecretary of labor.
A protest on this subject is a mere
/ waste Of breath, and on the whole l an
! inclined TO think that the whole pur.
, pose of this department viii be srowu
up quicker with the unions in SontroI
fs6F ftSfhan IN any other way.
"GOmpers will run it characteristic
ally with a high hand. and if the whole
/ thing does not smell to Heaven within
year l shall be very much aston
/ ished
by that time democratic simplicity
will probably mean a union label OF
the White house stationery and the
/ president comforting with the walters
union over the appointment, of hi
steward.
AT present We have nothing NOR,
startling in Jeffersonian simp.icit,
than the news that Mrs. Bryan is max
ing a new suit for the secretary o
state and that cakes and ginger al
will be served at the dinner for tn
British ambassador. Toothpicks will @
course be an after-dinner course at al
cabinet receptions and the demand 70
dress suits will be confined to waiter
in the hotels"
SAYS MANY GOT "PIEA-
In the same letter Emery advise,
Kirby: IF you have any idea thA
Taft would have vetoed this bill G
his own motion, get over It. A list {
, public men who had pie in this $113
100000 appropriation bill include
} many prominent men in both houses.

George W. Guthrie, former mayor OF

With the appointment of a new am

the question of recognizing the Huer,a

Dictated that pending a more definite

Mexico, recognition would be withheld
The United States is awaiting the
outcome of the contemplated elections

ported that the president is not turn

AMENDMENTS TO
SUGAR SCHEDULE
ARE DEFEATED
BY DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS
Opponents of Free Sugar
Lose Fight

Washington, D. c., April 14.-By an
overwhelming majority the house dem
ocratic caucus voted down amendments
to the sugar tariff schedule proposed
by Representative Broussard of Louis
lana and supported by members from
the sugar states, to eliminate the pro-
vision for free sugar in three eyars
and provide an immediate ten per cent
reduction for six years The vote
against it was Sc to 10.
Congressman from Louisiana, led by
Representative Broussard, and aided
by the members from Michigan and
other beet sugar states, assailed thu
duties approved by the ways and
means committee and President VIII
son, as ruinous to the sugar industry
in their states.
Chairman Underwood began the ar.
gument in defense of the schedule, de-
failing the long, careful study the
committee had given to the sugar
question
Amendments proposed by Represen-
tative Broussard were opposed by the
fat free sugar champions, led by Rep
rcsentative Hardwick, of Georgia, who
offered an amendment that raw sugar
be placed on the free list at once with
out any gradual reduction. Mr.. Hard
wick's argument against a gradual re-
duction was that it was discrimination
in favor of segregated industries in
Louisiana and the beet sugar states.

COTTON INJURED
BUT FRUIT CROP
IS STILL SAFE
OPINION CT GROWERS EERE
Severe COldsiS Doing Injury
to the Crop

That the cotton crop of this section
has already sustained considerable IT.
jury from the cold weather prevailing
since Sunday was the opinion of sew
eral planters interviewed yesterday
The young plant is not dead as yet,
but being very tender, and sensiti re
to cold, the plant will be injured, and
leplanting may be necessary.
But for the winds prevailing Sunday
night and early yesterday morning
there would, in all probability, have
been heavy frost, in which event
young cotton, vegetables and the
peach crop as well would have suffer
ed very severely.
Mr. Thomas B. Hooks, one of Sum
ter's most extensive planters, stated
that half of his cotton crop was AZ
already, but he did not believe the
cold had killed it, or even damaged
il beyond recovery Mr.. L. G. Coun-
Gil, Mr.. Arthur Rylander and other
planters expressed the fear that the
c, op had or would, suffer severely.
Ahnp+ e
of Sumter county has been planted, AMI
if this is damaged to the extent of re-
planting it will cost the farmers very
considerably. Good seed are none too
abundant, to say nothing of the ev.
pense entailed.
In many fields yesterday the young
cotton plants appeared limp and life
less, while the sweeping winds only
served to increase the damage done
already Should warmer weather come
today followed by showers, the condi-
ton of the crop might be very ma
terially improved, an end greatly de-
sired by the farmers here.
The cold has not affected the peach
crop seriously, in the opinion of To-
cal orchardmen. The absence of
frost yesterday saved the crop, no
doubt Young peaches are now as
large as partridge eggs in several
orchards about Americas, and the
promise of half crop is still good, in
the opinion of the growers.
Vegetable gardens in the city sus-
tanned no serious damage from the
cold yesterday, and while presenting a
somewhat bed"aggled appearance, tue
plants will recover after rain.
