AT HIS OLD TRICKS

Ihat was a pleasant call that Con-
gressman Metz and a delegation inter-
ested IN the importation of dycstuffs
from Germany made on the Depart
ment OF Commerce the other day, and

didn't get from the ebullient Sacre;a.

them would soon be out Of work. and
from $50 other mills, which would
bring the total number OF those likely

OF course the Secretary had a rem
edy. His Ready Relief nostrums have
become famous. Mr.. Metz and his
associates must have been taken of
their feet by the aptness of the head
OF the Department Of Commerce to
meet emergencies. who advised them
that one way out OF the difficulty
would be to begin IN manufacture the
dyestuffs In the United States. What
a sapient individual Secretary Red

afterwards described as ridiculous the
statements made Ivy Secretary OF Com

be manufactured in the United states.
Mr.. Metz declared that thus far only
the fundaments from which dyes are
made have been discovered. and that

be made TO supply the demand.
