JEWELL SUMS UP
BEFORE RAIL BOARD
Says Order for Wage Reduc-
ton Now Would RedoubIe
Bitterness.
By the Associated Press

ny the Associated Press
! CHICAGO. May : Arguments
against the wage reduction proposals
submitted to the Railroad Labor
board by railway executives were
summed up today by T. NJ. Jewell
president of the railway employees
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He declared that for
| the board to order wage reduction
now would only bring the dispute
over new national working agree
ments back before the board for de-
; termination ''in controversy of re-
doubled bitt terness-and we would
have condition of utter chaos in

| Negotiations now in progress on

! the board could never result in an
agreement before the day of judg-
ment," Mr.. Jewell declared, eff new
wage schedules arc established now
and attempts are made to negotiate

| a reduced wage.
1--WE submit" Mr. Jewell said. that
| the board cannot make an Intelligent
| and fair decision as to wage rates
, rates. until the new agreements have
| been fixed and promulgated.
THE reason for this is obvious.
/ Neither carriers nor employees can
know what wage schedules mean or
amount to until they know tn" rules

applied.
"If the railroad managemcnts are
not utterly blind to their own self

, ership we were determined to have

ton of agreements and the carries

Much Suffering Caused by y
Waste Products IN the Blood
What Science Known About the Matter md How Il h
Best Treated

The blood IL more important
than any Of the organs. It Is thru
the blood that the whole human
body il directly or indirectly
nourished. The blood gets its
nourishment from the intestines.
The intestines also contain waste
products-undigested foods, acids,
gases and refuse, which some
times get in the blood.
When waste products get In the
blood, nature will strive to cast
them out. II your resistance 10
strong enough, nature will prob
ably succeed. But if you are "be-
low par" weak, rundown, and
nervous, nature will begin to show
signs Of distress.
Al q result, you will have that
feeling Of fatigue. You will lack
the energy you need for the days
duties and pleasure. Minor all
ments will begin to affect you
pimples, blackheads, and boils.
If the waste products are not
gotten out Of the blood at this
point, It il possible q more serious
skin eruption or disease will begin
to show itself. It Is not infrequent

of granting the request of the
Campbell soup people that a
duty of one cent be placed on
Patna rice, under the provisions
|of the House Amendments, any
rice may be admitted free of
duty, if it is to be used in the
manufacture of canned foods.
We must protest most earn
ly against making any excep-
tons as to the application Of
duty on rice. This is compli-
eating the administration of the
law and merely to please one
manufacturer. Thousands of
canned food manufacturers will
justly claim the privilege of this
exemption. 1t will also open
the door to fraud in the impor-
tation of rice.
All Rice Food.
1t is conceded the rice indus
tr ymust be protected against
cheap foreign labor, or perish.
Why permit an exemption to
rice to be used in the manufac-
ture of canned foods? Is not
all rice food? Why draw a dis
tinction?

/ Mr.. Foster. None whatever.
Asa matter of fact it would
open the door to all sorts of
competition. As a matter of
fact, they can take any grade
of rice and cook it that way.
Mr.. Hawley. Is that cooked
in water or steamed?
Mr.. Foster. 1t is cooked in
water. don't know what the
gentleman had to argue from,
but l happened to know that
Patna rice contains less mois-
ture, perhaps, than our Ameri-
can rice.
Mr.. Hawley. He said it was
a harder grain.
Mr.. Foster. 1t contains less
moisture. If he had used a lit
tie less water in cooking our
American rice he would get the
same results that he would
from the Patna."
Refused To Grant Request.
Considering the facts SUBJ
mitted, the issue is reduced to
this. The Campbell soup peo-
pie are the only ones concerned.
From facts which their Mr.. Hall
submitted, they manufacture
GOO, 600, 900 cans or more of
soup per year. On the basis OF
six hundred million cans the
increased cost due to tariff is
only one seventy-fifth of ono
cent, or three quarters of a mill,
per can; or less than one-half
cent per case of three dozen
cans. Is that sufficient cause to
complicate duties of n great
American industry?
The Ways and Means Com
mittee thought the contention
too trivial and refused to grant
the request of a one cent duty
on Patna rice. II reported the
bill without any exceptions, or
reduction of rates, as to any
rice. But Mr.. Bacharach Of
fered, on the floor of the House,
the following amendment to
Paragrhp 728; ''all the forego-
ing not specially provided for +"
He then offered Paragraph
1913: "Rice cleaned for use in
the manufacture of canned
foods" thereby putting in the
free list all rice to be used in the
manufacture of canned foods.
Both amendments were adOp-
ted by the House without due
discussion and by members
who had never given the matter
any thought, and had no infor-
nation on the subject. Instead

error of the Emergency Tariff

Committee may see the danger
and injustice of not imposing
uniform rates on rice.

visions proposed by the Ways

junction with Senator Short

unfairness of the amendment
and urging that il be expunged.
Follws Up Brief.
This Ii a follow-up of the brief
filed with the Finance Commit
tee by E. A. Eignus, represent
ing the American Rice Grow
ers' Association. Mr.. Brous-
sard comes from the rice belt
of Louisiana and is conversant
with the problems of the indus
try. He realizes the magnitude
Of the lurking danger to the
rice industry in the amendment
adopted by the House and be-
lieves that too much pressure
cannot be brought to bear in
having the wrong righted.

submitted, we will quote from
the Joseph Campbell Soup Co..
and the Italian Chamber of
Commerce of New York. The
former was the only interest OBJ

vance in duty. Mr.. H. F. Hall

fed az follows: Page 1714

The remainder of the testi-
mony Of Mr.. Hall is all to the
same effect No request was
made for free rice, but that
there should be q one cent duty

tinued az il i"
This body was merely trying
to hold the duty on all rice to
