was made the first permanent

charter given by King James l
to what was known as the Lon

Virginia settlements were found

should extend 200 miles north
and 200 miles south of Old
Point Comfort and stretch west

of Charles II 1t was considered
such an important colony that 1t
was called the fourth dominion
of his empire, that is, England,
Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The

Cotton Men Ask
Higher Tariff
Manufacturers Say Rates in
Fcrdney Bill Far Below
Those in Other Measures.

Washington, Dec. Cotton
manufacturers Of New England and
the south joined forces in behalf of
higher rates of duty than provided
in the Fordney tariff bill yesterday
before the senate finance committee.
II was declared that although all re-
publican tariff measures in the past
have provided the equivalent of al
least 40 per cent ad valorem protec-
ton on cotton cloth, the rates of the
Fordney bill passed by the house do
not average more than p per cent.
Besides asking that the rates OF
duty be increased, the cotton manu-
facturers proposed various changes in
phraseology and methods OF deter
mining duties.
The American valuation plan was
favored, the manufacturers pointing
out that even higher rates than pro-
posed will be necessary if this plan
is abandoned.
The principal spokesman for the
cotton manufacturers was Arthur Fl.
Lowe of Fitchburg, Mass, chairman
of the consolidated tariff committee,
representing the National Council OF
Cotton Manufacturers.

Dublin, Dec. 9.-(By A. P)-The

moved at the Dali Eireann meeting
next Wednesday by Arthur Griffith
as chairman OF the plenipotentlaries,
it was announced today by Presi-
dent De Valera in statement is

ment.
1T would not be moved as cab

differed from those of certain MEM
bers OF the cabinet.
Cabinet Announced.
London, Dec. 9.-(By A. P)-1he
final result OF the deliberations in
Dublin yesterday. which developed a
split in the Dali Eireann cabinet over
the Irish peace treaty, has been to
throw the treaty into all early meet
ing of the southern Ireland parlia-
ment. In his statement last night de-
claring himself against the terms,
Eamon De Valera, republican leader,
announced that the Dali had been
summoned in public session for next
Wednesday morning. He also dis
closed that his attitude was sup
ported by two members of his cab
met, Austin Stack and Charles Bur-
CESS. The other cabinet members
are said to have remained in favor OF
the treaty. This split, with the odds
favoring ratification, is pointed to
here as significant of the possible
lineup in the Dali Eireann itself when
the time for action arrives.
Good Will Toward England.
Newspaper correspondents who
asserted that the Dali Eireann would
iatiiy the treaty, declared that popu-
lar opinion in the south of Ireland
had acclaimed the agreement with
joy, and would insist on its ratifica-
ton.
The release yesterday of large
number Of republicans interned for
political offenses produced strong
feeling of good will toward England.

clans for truce into the yards today.
Better Than Troops.
This move is better than troops"
Chairman Withall said.
There was virtually no disorder i'll
any of the packing centers during the
day. In Chicago, where there was
bloodshed yesterday and the day be-
fore, there were only minor disturb
ances.
AT Kansas City about 5000 strikers
paraded today, while at Omaha
packing company in letter to its
employees urged them to organize
with their employers "on a $3.50

/ The ranks of the strikers were in

The situation assumed brighter
aspect, with optimistic statements
from the packers and no reports of
violence from the police. According
to the packing house officials, some
strikers are returning to work, and
these, with the new men employed,
have placed the plants on a nearly
normal working basis.
Deny Packers Statement.
Dennis Lane, secretary of the
butcher workmen's union, declared,
however, that $4,000 men are out in
the various packing centers and that

improving daily. So far as Armour
