The long-expected battle over
the wool SCHEDULE of the pending
tariff bill opened in the Senate
yesterday afternoon with Sena-
tor Walsh (Dem.) of Massachu-
sets delivering a smashing at
tack on the proposed duty of 33
cents a pound on wool or clean
content as one that would impose
additional taxation on the con-
sumner aggregating nearly $780,

With Senators McCumber OF North
Dakota. Smoot OF Utah. Goodins OF
Idaho and Bursum Of New Mexico
defending the wool schedule as es'
sential to protect the wool growers
OF the West from the "ruinoIslS
cheap" peodtIct of the. Australian and
South American sheepmen. Senator
Walsh denounced the S3-cent rate as
the highest ever levied by any tariff
law"
Walsh claimed the rate was 30 per
cent higher than the average one i'm
posed by the historic schedule X of
the 'Payne-Aldrich bill which pro
voked a fight in Congress to which
the subsequent defeat of the Re
publicans at the oll' was attributed.
Walsh predicted the present rate
would be even more disastrous, po'
litically. to the Republicans than was
schedule K"
Smoot contended the rate was not
based on mere guesswork," but on
actual conditions supported by the
finding Of the Federal Tariff Com
mission which confronted Weste m
wool growers. He challenged the as
sertion of Senator Jones Deml OF
New Mexico that the woolmen would
derive higher rates from the schedule
than appeared on the surface.
THE manufacturer does not get
one penny more from the schedule
than is specified" said Smoot. "and
he cannot take anything out of the
wool grower as he has done in the
past. Every mill man will have tc
meet the conditions as imposed"
Higher Than House Figures.
Walsh contended the 33-cent rate
was at least 33 per cent higher
in some cases even higher-thar
those fixed in the House bill; tbs
sliding scale OF duties by which the
33.cent rate is arrived at was "ob
jectionable because deceptive" anc

ROANOKE, Va, July 22.-
t"one more week will completely
demoralize the freight traffic of
the Norfolk and Western railway
and the movement Of coal will
virtually come to a standstill."
Such was the declaration to-
night of Fred D. Laudermann,
chairman of the machinists and
general chairman in charge of
the strike on the Norfolk and
Western.
Scores OF Mines Closed.
The railroad in question ,is essen
TALLY a coal-carrying road. and uI
to July I. last, was supplying coal
from the nonunion fields to many
important points in addition to turn
ishing bunker coal at Norfolk.
Scores OF snonunion mines have
been forced TO close down due to
the inability Of the Norfolk and
Western to furnish coal cars.
Reports from Eckman, w. Va,
last night showed that fourteen
more mines in that vicinity had
been forced to close down because
OF lack of cars.
Prohibition officers raided the
Norfolk and Western shops and Of
fices at Eckman Sunday night, rut
failed to find the hiding place OF
the liquor which II is claimed a
negro cook has been furnishing the
strikebreakers.
1t was reported to the dry agents
that the cook was procuring the
moonshine from a neighboring still.
The motive power of the Norfolk
and Western continues to be re
duced to a minimum. In an eff
ciaI statement, the company stated
that they had 172 engines stored
ready for use in case OF emsrg
ency.
The union officials declare thai
these engines have been carefully
checked over and their report 1:
that the only engines stored are
isolated types that are too small foi
real service and have not been usec
for years"
Deny Destruction.
The railroad officials deny thai
their engineers have burned any en-
gines" adds the report of the unior
headquarters. but no such charge:
were ever made as the scabs were
responsible for the accidents"
Much feeling exists here and al
other points on the system because
the company has called into service
a number Of aged men who have beer
on the pension rolls for some time.
A signed statement was filed a
union headquarters yesterday by one
of the pensioners, showing that tn,
company had forced him to return
! to work and serve as a strikebreaker
1t is charged by the union leader,
that the company has threatened Il
drop men from the pension rolls WHIT
refuse to return to work. The com
pany, however, denies that such 1,
true.
In some cases, the company points
out, certain Of their men grown ole
in the service and put on the pension
rolls, voluntarily offer to work dur
ing the strike. In some cases. th'
company claims, such men have be sr
permitted to return to their old jobs.

Louisiana Opens Fight
To Suppress the klan
Covernon Says Masked knights
Bring Courts Into Contempt;
Seeks State Law

BATON ROUGE, La, March %
Governor Parker issued to-day an ap-
peal to the law officers Of Louisiana to
suppress with an iron hand the evil of
ku-kluXism wherever it raises its
head" lie said this action had been
taken in view of the repeated com
plants which have come to him from
various sections of the state.
The Governor said that at the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature he
would appeal to that body to enact a
law making II felony for any man to
hide behind a mask to drag the good
name of this state in the mire and
bring contempt for law and civiliza-
ton"
Governor Parkcr's statement added:
THE idea that any set of men may,
with impunity, disregard the authority
of the courts and set law at defiance in
order to correct some evil or punish
some evil doers secretly, and generally
under cover of darkness, is absolutely
foreign TO proper conceptions OF demo
cratic government, which seeks to
establish unity for the common good
There is no such thing as popular
justice. 1t is popular injustice, be-
cause it brings law into contempt, leads
