controversy stands exactly where ii
did in New York when the operators
first proposed blanket arbitration by
a Presidential commission. Like

posed in New York. These condi-
tions have neither been accepted nor
rejected by the operators. who have
contended all along that their
merits should be arbitrated together
with the issues Of the anthracite
controversy.
In brief. the miners conditions
are:
THAT the present wage scale be
accepted as a minimum.

president. in which to save the Re-
publican party from defeat in the
Congressional election of 1922 and
from destruction in the Presidential
election of 1924. and that is to re-
turn this bill to the committee and
rewrite all the schedules of II so
that they conform to the old Re-
publican principle of protection by
merely equalizing the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad. and If
they are unable to do so, then to
abandon general tariff legislation at
this time"
In reply to the contention that
higher duties are justified by
changed conditions in the indus
tries. the Senator said the change
has been in the direction of equal
izing American and British produc-
ton costs. He quoted a tariff COM
mission expert who reported:
IF the entire American industry.
South as well as North, was consid-
cred as a unit, 1t would be found
that American weaving rates are
less than double those of July 1,
1914, whereas English weaving
rates are two and one-third times
those of July l. 1914"
The profits of the Amoskeag Com
pany rose from s76o,967 in 1910 to

the Beacon Manufacturing Com
rany earned IAN amount equal to
100 per cent of its outstanding pre-
ferred stock" The Dartmouth Mill
paid dividend of 80 per cent on the
common stock in 1921 and had
surplus of s2,649,9S6. In 1920 the
Holmes mill paid dividends of SO per
cent. In the last five years the divi-
dends of the Neild Mills have ranged
from Is to 80 per cent. those of the
Pierce Mills from "a to so per cent.
The Lincoln Mid earned 33 per
cent in 1920, the Tecumseh mills 100
per cent with 100 per cent surplus.
the King Philip mills 73 per cent.

the profits or the business methods

Washington a stronger interest and
a deeper sentiment than that in

From North and South, East or

more enduring than the Constitu-
