Ayres Expects to Pass Bill
to Protect Standard
Article Makers.
PLAN STEADILY
GAINING FAVOR
Measure Will Prohibit Retailers
from Selling Goods Under
Fixed Figures.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Evidences Of Il
powerful public sentiment in favor OF
prohibiting price cutting on standard
articles by retail dealers are pouring
in on members Of Congress 70 such an
extent that Representative William A.
Ayres. of Kansas, predicted to-day that
the bill legalizing this would become
a law before the adjournment OF the
present session Of Congress.
Mr.. Ayres has introduced bill
virtually the same as that offered at
the last session by Representative r.
B. Stevens, Of New Hampshire, who
ran for Senator against Senator Gal
lpger at the last election and was de-
feated. The Stevens bill was buried
in the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, never being re-
ported. A majority of the committee
including Chairman Adamson, Of
Georgia. were opposed TO the measure.
Several changes have been made IN
the committee this year, and Mr. Ayres
said he believed 1t would be possible
10 obtain a favorable report on his
bill. and. once on the calendar, that 1t
could be passed.
Bill Grows in Favor.
There has been a distinct change in
attitude toward the bill by many mem
beers of the House, which Will AFFECT
the committees action. This has been
brought about partly by the growth OF
public sentiment in favor Of the bill.
So great has been the demand FOR cop
los of the measure from organizations
or various sorts throughout TIE coun-
.rv that Mr.. Ayrcs has had 1000 extra
comics printed for distribution.
broadly, the idea OF the bill Is TO

Berlin, Dec. % (by wireless to Say

government of American mail from two
steamships on their way to Holland IS
reported in a Rotterdam dispatch given
out to-day by the Overseas News
Agency.

patch the vessels from which mail was

Amsterdam and South American ports,
all the Southern American mail for
Holland she had on board.
The foregoing does not make it clear
whether the mail seized included any
first class matter or, as is more Droba-

ASK FOR ALL-SOUTH
RALLY Of c. {. WORKERS
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, ILL.,, July S.-President W.
A. Harper of Elon college, North Caro-
lima, spoke of an all-southern rally of
Christian Endeavor workers, here to-
day, in connection with the world s
convention of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, in favor of estab-
fishing Christian Endeavor work in
the colleges of the country. He quot
ed a number of educational authori-
ties to the effect that the higher insti-
tutions of learning suffered from a
lack of religious atmosphere, so much
so that young man might become a
bachelor or master in almost any
line of study and be as ignorant of the
Bible and of religious inspiration as
if educated in non-C Christian country.
1--WE have" he said, made the futile
attempt, in our efforts to escape sec
tarianism, to develop an educational
system of a non-religious type. 1t is
impossible to teach without blasting
those taught either for or against re-
ligion."
