Especial Correspondence TO The Journal)
New York, July 4.-Urging
haste in settling tariff and taxa
ton legislation on every member
of both houses of congress, the
merchants, bankers, business men
and manufacturers of this whole
metropolis are today taking UP a
persistent drive to procure action
at Washington, before which they
believe there can be no ending of
the existing serious stagnation of
business throughout the country.
If both these basic problems are
acted upon by the end of this
summer and some sort of foreign
policy is put forth, these men de-
clare that a beginning of business
activity may be made before snow
falls. Unless the special session of
congress succeeds in determining
the future rates of tax on imports
as well as on domestic business, it
is admitted that little can be hoped
for by way Of revival of present
paralyzed activities.
Creeping Campaign.
Though only four months re
main before the people of this city
go to tho polls to choose their mu-
nieipal government for the next
four years, few signs OF campaign
activity have yet shown through
out the whole town. Never in the
history of this metropolis has less
interest been called forth by an
while the campaign creeps along
with hardly any action, the rival
leaders are wondering IL the peo-
pie can ever be reused to the pitch
of excitement that they usually
reach long before this time. Thus
far, everyone seems to believe that
Tammany can recapture the town,
and it is up to the opposition to
show that they have any fight to
put up against the continuation of
the existing rule for four years
more.
Curie Cause.
That Madame Curie Is heartily
in sympathy with the chemical sci
entists and Industrial workers who |
are presenting to the people of this
country the need for future chem
ical independence to promote our |
industrial progress. national de- |
tense and medical development, |
was asserted here today by scien-
lists who saw this distinguished |
woman discoverer of radium be-
fore she sailed away for France.
AS a chemist, as we'll as a citizen
of France Madame Curie is thor
oughly alive to the dangers of a
recapture of Americas chemical
science and industry by the pow
erful German cartel, these men
and women were told. In all that
the leaders of science In this coun-
try are doing to insure against for
eign invasion in the chemical field,
It Is assured that they have the
most deep, personal support or the
great French woman Of science.
European Exodus.
With every outgoing steamship
loaded with thousands Of men,
women and children bound for
European travel, the greatest ex-
odus across the ocean since war
days is now taking place from this
port. Since there Is little business
to be done here, hundreds OF lead
ing bankers and business men are
taking this opportunity to escape
the heat and tour cooler climes
abroad. While some of this out
bound traffic isf concerned in for
eign business, the bulk of 1t is
purely pleasure excursion, the
men report.
Fight Fans.
So stirred have all the inhabf-
tants Of this town become over the
and outcome of the
great ring battle over in Jersey,
that the whole summer long prom Il
ises to echo the talk of the fight
fans. Gymnasiums and boxing
training schools are already be- Il
sieged by twice their usual crowd
OF patrons, while every hangout of f
fight promoters and hangers-on is
packed with enthusiasts. 1t will be
many months, apparently. before
Greater New York hears the last
Of this international battle. f
