EUROPE TO ATTACK
u. S. EXPORT TRADE
Business Men Warn Congress of
Battle TO Come.

Washington, July 2O.-A general Eu-
ropean attack upon Americas unprccc-
dented gold reserve and foreign trade
at the close Of the war is predicted in
a statement submitted to the House
Judiciary Committee to-day by the
National Foreign Trade Council urging
the passage Of the Webb bill TO per-
NIT American combinations in export
trade.
Pointing out that the present enor-
nous export business is due largely
TO an abnormal war demand. the coun-
Gil says the liberty to cooperate which
rivals and customers Of American
firms have enjoyed has produced high
ly organized selling agencies and that
the United States cannot hold its posi-
ton in the world of business If Eu-
ropean industrial and governmental CO
operation versus interchangeable
competition is TO continue.
The statement is signed by a COM
mlttee of exporters. including John
d. Ryan, president of the Anaconda
Mining Company. and James A. Farrell,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation.
The Judiciary Committee concluded
hearings to-day on the Webb bill. II.
{. Lewis, of New York. spoke for il.
He said he had proof that a-Sestic
prices were higher than export prices
IN both Germany and England.

W. WOOD FOUND
DEAD HIS WIFE
Lawyer Had Just Arranged
to Go on Stump for
President Wilson.

William H. Wood, a well-known at
torney and Democratic politician. was
found dead yesterday afternoon by his
wife in the bathroom of his apartment
at $50 West Seventy-frst Street
Since 1880 Mr.. Wood had spoken in
behalf Of the candidacy of every DEM
ocratic Presidential nominee. and only
four hours before his death he was
in conference with Vance Mccormick
and Richard Harris, completing ar
rangements 10 stump the state this
fall for President Wilson. Mrs. Har-
riette VI. Johnson Wood. his wife and
law partner at Rector Street, is an
enthusiastic suffragist, and was TO
have stumped New York for Mr..
Hughes, il is understood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wood left their apart
ment together yesterday morning, Mr..
Wood agreeing TO meet his wife at
their Offices after his conference.
When he did not appear, Mrs.
Wood left her desk earlier than usual
10 hasten home.
She found the lawyer stretched upon
the bathroom floor. A small gas stove
was open, and the gas was escaping.
Near Mr.. Woods hand lay the chsrred
end OF a match. Both the window and
the bathroom door were open. Coroner
Feinberg, who conducted an investlga-
ton 10 learn whether the attorney had
committed suicide, declared positively
last night that death had been due TO
natural causes.
An elevator boy at the apartment
house asserted that Mr.. Wood had re-
turned to his apartment at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon, complaining of the
intense heat.
For the last thirty-fve years Mr..
Wood had been prominent in Demo-
cratic politics of this city and state.
He was Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue in 1886. six years later be-
coming chairman of the State Board
of Assessors. He held this post until
1896. Later he was Deputy Attorney
General of New York State.
lie was fifty years old. No arrange
ments for the funeral have been made,
Mrs. Wood said last night.

DECLARE RAILROADS
SEEK TO GAIN TINE
Brotherhoods Say Commerce
Board Cannot Settle Wages.

Cleveland. July 20.--A statement
issued to-day by the transportation
brotherhoods declares that the propo-
sition of the railroads to refer the de-
mands Of the railway brothcrhoods for
an eight-hour day to the Interstate
Commerce Commission is nothing but
proposition TO gain time for the rail-
roads and 10 waste time for the men.
It is declared that the Interstate
Commerce Commission cannot under
take this task until the law is radically
amended by Congress. Such an amend
ment would require at least a month
for passage, and several months would
be required before the commission
could begin the work.
"Whatever msy be the desirability Of
empowering the Interstate Commerce
Commission 10 handle wage disputes
says the statement, this Is not the
time TO do il. The commission is over
burdened with duties. A bill has been
pending before Congress, urgently ad-
vocated by the railroads themselves,
calling for an increase in the member
