POINTS OUT THE DISEASE,
BUT NOT THE REMEDY

Financial America of July % cites
the testimony Of Herbert II. Dow.
president of an American chemical
company, before the Federal Trade
commission relative to the practice of
foreign monopoly in "dumping' its
products into our markets to kiln off
American competition. The feature of
the instance cited by Mr.. Dow was that
the g dumping" process by foreign in
terests was resorted to, not so much
70 stile competition from American in
terests in American markets but in for
eign markets. The Dow Chemical Co.
was selling a certain bromide abroad.
The threat was made that for every
pound exported foreign interests woul /
put two pounds into the United States.
Regarded first as a "bluff, - the threat
soon was put into effect, with the re-
suit, the company claims, that it's mar
ket here was absolutely eliminated and
its foreign business injured. A%.praetiee
such as this Mr.. Dow claimed TO be
common whenever an article showed
signs Of getting a start abroad. Finan-
eial America reaches the following con
c~iusion:
"After the war practices Of this
kind are to be expected on an ex-
tensive scale unless this country. in
the meantime, shall have taken
steps TO prevent them. In either
ease, the United States, after the
war will find itself engaged in a
struggle which will be longer and
more intense than participation by
1t in the present armed conflict. IF
IT fails to take steps now TO pre-
pare itself against the desperate
attacks of foreign commercial in
t~erests, it will be woefuliy lacking
in its duty
It is too bad that the editor should
stop here. He missed a fine opportuni-
ty to tell just what remedy would ef.
feet a sure cure of the dumping" dis
ease, namely, the re-enaetment Of a
Protective Tariff that would prevent
piice-cutting and undertaking Ameri-
can producers in the American market.

QUIT YOUR KIDDING -
BROTHER BINGHAM

In a recent issue, under the heading
Of "a Moribund Issue, Z the Churchill
County Standard advances the usual
-time-honored Democratic theories on
the tariff question, and winds up the
article with the following remarkable
statement:
Republicans are admitting that
TODAY President Wilson Is 100000
votes stronger than his party and
that were the election TO take place
this fall. it would be Wilson first
and the balance nowhere.
However. il is necessary TO put
up a show OF a fight, and the Dem
ocrats are perfectly willing to 90
into the contest on any issue the
Republicans may choose, realizing
that it is only a question Of form
anyway. Woodrow Wilson will
continue 10 be President of these
United States after March, 1917,
if he lives. and we all know it
While writing the above, the editor
OF the Standard was evidently in a sar-
castle frame of mind. As a matter 9f
fact, il is claimed by all Republicans,
as well as MANY Democrats. that Presi-
lent Wilson is about - per cent
weaker than his party, and that were
the election to be held this fall he
would not carry a single state north Of
Mason & Dixon's line and few south
Of it.
1t would not be surprising If the
Standard next asserts that Wilson has
made the best President since-Grover
Cleveland, for instance.

Supreme Court Holds Officials

Account of Hard Times.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The

not bar immigrants on the ground
that Industrial depressions are liable

New York where immigration off,

be admitted, as trade reports showed
business was bad in that city and. the
aliens would. in all probability, fail
to secure employment, and according
", were *likely to become a public
charge
90. Attorneys for the Russians held
that. that immigration officials were
restricted in their powers and that
they had no authority to debar, or
deport except as specifically indicated
by the law. The court upheld this
position in a decision which will
render. less elastic in the future the
provision Of the law under which
many aliens have been denied ad-
mission. and others excluded on the
ground that they were likely to be-
come a public charge s,t,s'[..... -. =

Employers Association Holds
Strikes For Shorter Workday

lions Of employment" declares the
Employers association Of Worcester
county, which has voted to stand to-s
gether for the so-called open shop: .:
It is stated that ZOE: employers are
members Of the association. and these
gentlemen are quite sure that ''pro-
feseional agitators' are responsible
for workers demanding! an eight hour
day and better working conditions
So the manufacturers announce their
faith in non untonism and to create
the opinion that q; reign Of terror ii
imminent, they pledge protection to
all employees who "desire to continue
as free and Independent workers. =,
The resolutions are. identical with
hundreds of similar declarations; by
men who can't understand why
their workers should; not, be con-
tented but who insist on a. shorter.
work day that can only .be secured
through collective action. " =
Local trade unionists are comparing
the policy Of local :, manufacturers,
which is resulting in numerous strikes,
with the policy of prominent Mass
achusetts manufacturers. who told the
state board Of Cancellation and arbit-
ration, in session in this city last
week, that trade agreements and con-
ferences with union committees were
successful and that they would not
revert to the old plan OF individual
