TARIFF
DESIRES DISCUSSED
BY HERBERT HOOVER

wASHIN GTON, April Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, dis
cussed today with big business rep
resentatives the conflicting tariff de-
sires of American manufacturing and
agricultural interests.
The business men concede that the
farmers will win the fight for a pro-
tective tariff on their products, but
maintained that this will greatly re-
duce American manufacturers for
eign markets.
Mr.. Hoover, in a series Of meet
ings with business and manufacture
ing groups, has heard anti-protection
arguments from men who in past
contrary Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace is listening to clamors for
protection from farmers organ1Za-
tions who at one time led the fight
against taS;ff wall erection.
This reversal of position, brought
about by changed world trade condi-
tions, caused Mr.. Hoover and his
commercial colleagues to consider
these plans for offsetting trade we
will lose by South American and
other retaliation against the protec-
tive emergency tariff bill.
the Far East.
"A system of longtime Euro
pean credits, engineered by various
business groups, in the way the cot
ton interests are attempting.
Directors of the United States
Chamber of Commerce met Mr.. Hoov-
er today to plan details of this gen.
eral campaign, which will be- ham
died by special advisory commit
tee representing all the big business
interests, and acting as the interme-
diary between Mr.. Hoover and eacn
industry.
One of the first features of the
transpacific trade campaigns will be
organization. in each industry. OF a
system of American warehouses and
sales machinery in China, Japan, In
dia and Australasia. 1t was learned
that Hoover had described this as
the weakest link in American foreign
trade.
Railroad equipment and building
material in China and cotton goods
in India will be the two biggest i'm
mediate trade detectives.
About $20,00Q,000 worth Of railroad
material orders in China are in
prospect on one project expected to
go through within few months.
In India the effort will be to take
away from the British the business
of supplying cotton cloth to millions
of people with whom that material
is the only material used. The Brit
ish coal strike possibilities, it was
said, may contribute considerably to
the success of this campaign.

5. Q. How tall is General Pershing
and how much does he weigh?
A. General Pershing is exactly 8
feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.
s. Q. Can airplanes wireless to sub
marines that are under water?
A. The air service says that an
airplane can send a wireless to a
submerged submarine.
7. @. Is there such thing as Arc
tic blindness?
A. Arctic blindness is by no means
a myth. This form of blindness IS
attributed in part to the fact that nat
the glare of the sun on the snow
causes the eyes to smart" Almost
invariably a man will raise his hand
to- his eyes and rub them with his
mittens, which fact Aggregates the
condition and causes irritation.
8. @. Why is the American dollaa
worth more than the Mexican dollar
A. The American silver dollar is
worth more than the Mexican silver
dollar because it is redeemed at It's
face value and is backed by gold in
the United States treasury. me
Mexican dollar is worth only its bull
3. @. Who invented the subma-
rine?
A. 1t is unknown who built the
first submarine boat, but it is said
that Alexander the Great was inter-
ested in submarine navigation. There
is no doubt that these types of yes
sells were studied during the thir-
tenth and fourteenth centuries. Ear
ly in the seventeenth century, sub
marine boats were numerous and in
1924 Cornelius Drebbel exhibited a
submarine of his own design on the
Thames. In 1927, fourteen types had
been patented in England alone. In
1775 David Bushnell built his first
submarine boat with which Sergeant
Lee attacked H. M. S. Eagle in New
York harbor.
10. @. What are the jewels in the
backs of watches, and what are they
for?
A. Jewels are used in watches as
pivot bearings. In some watches
diamonds and rubies are sometimes
employed, but ordinarily the cheaper
stones, such as garnets, are used

RELATIONS Of LABOR
AND CAPITAL IN j. s.
|. BETTER, IS REPORT

WASHINGTON, April 5-With
May day but three weeks away, in
dustrial relations throughout the
United States are more peaceful than
at any time since the armistice, re-
ports of the department of labor
showed here today.
Strikes and lockout now are less
frequent than at any time in months,
despite the efforts of radical agita-
tors to stir up outrages in the big
industrial cities on the first day of
May.
May day, known as the interna-
tional labor day, will be marked in
Europe by general strikes and disor-
ders if Bolshevik agitators are sue
cessful in carrying out operations
they now are starting. These agi-
tators are attempting to extend their
operations to the United States, ac-
cording to officials of the department
of justice. But May day in the Unit
ed States will pass peacefully, gov
eminent officials predicted today, de-
operations of the United Communist
party, branch of the third interna-
tional of soviet Russia.
Radical agitators depend on strikes
and lockouts to foment dis

to the labor department records.
These are involved in five big strikes
of which one affects 1000 workers
at Peabody, Mass. It is admitted by
labor department officials that their
disorders in the country. Building
trades strikes are not on the depart
ment records. but their records do
indicate, officials said, that industrial
relations throughout the entire coun-
try are better than at any time in
months.
Both employers and employees in
all sections are showing an increas-
ing Willingness to adjust their diff
ferences by mediation without resort
ing to a stoppage of work The de-
partment now is mediating in fifty
cases where the workers agreed to
stay at work pending conferences
with their employers.
In addition, the labor department
now is putting into effect permanent
mediation agreements in many sec
lions of the United States under
which employees agree not to strike
pending adjustment, while employers
agree not to lock out the workers.
Such agreements were introduced by
the labor department months ago
in the copper district of Arizona and
in the oil fields of California. In
California the agreements have
worked SO well that both workers
and employers recently united in
asking an extension of the agreement
when it expires in August, officials
said.
OF all groups of workers: those in
the employ Of the railroads now are
the most disconnected, it was point
ed out here today. 1t was empha-
sized. however, that the railroad sit
uation has not yet reached the strike
stage and so far does not look as if
it would go that far.

That Georgia's farmers performed
their full duty last year in the matter
of contributing their share to the
worlds supply of food and raiment is
Interestingly told in a story given out
by John S. Dennee, agricultural stat
istician for the Georgia Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service, a combina-
ton of the forces of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates and
the statistical division of the Geor-
gia Department of Agriculture.
According to the statistician Geor-
gia's cultivated area in 1920 was 12,-
100000 acres-about an eighth of all
land under crops in the eleven south
ern states. She had slightly less than
half the area under cultivation in
Texas and one-fourth more acreage
than her nearest southern competitor.
Alabama. In planted acreage she held
eleventh place in the entire country.
The farm value of her crops is esti-
mated at 1929, 100000. and in crop
value she ranked twelfth amongst the
forty eight states. In the pre-war

|. c. c. Hearing Holds
Against River Rates

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April Shear
ing began here today before e. L.
Gaddess, an examiner for the inter-
state commerce commission, to gather
evidence on which to base a general
readjustment of commodity rates to
and from points along the Missis-
sippi river and intermediate points
in conformity with recent ruling
of the commission which, in effect,
held that the practice of Mississippi
valley carriers in maintaining lower
rates to river points because of alleg-
ed water competitive conditions no
longer were justified.
Approximately 900 tariffs filed to
equalize rates in conformity with
the ruling of the commission, have
been suspended pending a hearing
here. Upwards of 1000 protests
have been filed by shipping interests
against the proposed new rates and
it is expected the hearing will ex-
tend over period of two weeks or
more. Railroad representatives will
be heard during the first week and 1t
is probable at least the same length
of time will be required to hear
shipping interests.

Florida Legislature
Faces Busiest Term
In Number Of Years

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April s.
The Florida legislature convened to-
day for the sixty-day biennial ses-
son with indications that the solons
would face one of the heaviest CAL
endars in many years.
Legislation to carry out provisions
of the federal woman suffrage
amendment was the only subject of
more than statewide interest in
prospect at the outset. Elimination
of the word male in the state cleo
tion la--- wherever it occurs is ex-
|pected to be accomplished with lit
tie difficulty but one clause of the
statute presents a problem whic1-
while not regarded as insurmoun .
able is expected to be discussed at
length. he present law contains a
provision that no person shall pay
the poll tax of another and it has
not been settled just what interpret
tation the lawmakers would place
upon this as relating to a man and
his wife.
Reapportionment of representation
in the legislature is regarded in the
state as one Of the most important
subjects to be disposed of. Moth
ing toward this end has been done
since ratification of an amendment
to the constitution in 1887 providing
that membership should be reappor-
toned every ten years to conform
to changes in population. A later
amendment providing for one rep
resentatiVe for each new county
created has been observed, however.
and the house now contains II mem
bers.
Revision of the tax laws, legis-
lat1on to conserve the states natural
resources. the establishment of fish
hatcheries and game preserves in
order to restock the streams and
forests. the creation of state pub
licity bureau, revision of biahwav
and traffic laws, a law recurring the
fencing of cattle ranges and the
usual attempts to create new conn

subjects in prospect.
