FOR PROTECTION
TARIFF WANTED ON EGGS FROM
CHINA-HARTSVfILE MAN is
ONE OF TRIO OPPOSING DUTY
AS URGED BY OPPOSITION.
VEGETABLE OIL FIGHT.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Protection
for the poultry industry was urged
before the senate finance committee
today by B. F. kaupp of the North
Carolina department of agriculture
who protested especially against free
frozen eggs from China He said he
wanted tariff that would "bridge
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton here and in China"
Rates suggested by the witness
were eight cents dozen on shell
eggs, eight cents a pound on frozen
eggs, "a cents pound on dried eggs,
-four cents a pound on live poultry
and FIVE cents a pound on dressed
poultry.
An import tax Of four cents a
pound on peanuts, both shelled and
in the shell, was requested by John
B. Pinner, of Suffolk, Va, who said
there were large importations from
China and that there should be an
equalizing of production costs in the
United States and China
" American production alone this
year, the witness said, has been suf-
ficient to supply all the demand in
this country. Prices now are so low,
Mr.. Pinner added, that the raisers
are in a bad way financially.
A duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem
on naval stores and turpen-
tine-and synthetic camphor was
urged by Robert Ash of this city, Of
counsel for the Turpentine and Ros-
in Producers association in brief
filed with the committee.
Mr.. Ash said that whereas the Unit
ed States produced approximately 81
per cent. of worlds production Of
turpentine and rosin before the war;
it now produced only 81 per cent.
The remaining 3s per cent, he added
is Supplied by the rapidly increasing
production of France, Mexico, India,
Spain, Italy and other countries"

SOVIET RUSSIA
ACCEPTS REQUEST
AGREES TO SEND REPRESENT
rArvE TO ECONOMIC CON
FERENCE IN GENoA-BE-
GIN DISCUSSION, TO-DAY OF
PREPARATIONS QUESTION

Cannes, Jan. 10.-Soviet Russia
has accepted the invitation to at
tend the coming economic confer
ence at Genoa. A telegram from For
eign Minister Chitcherin announc-
ing the soviet acceptance was re-
ceiyed here this evening. ..
Tha subcommittee which will
met tomorrow to frame the text of
the invitation for the meeting at
Genoa was confronted tonight by
the nice diplomatic question Of
whether it should send out an invi-
tation to q country which already
has aigniied it's intention to be
. present. .
simultaneously with the making
public Of Russia's intention to have
representation at Genoa, it became
known that the German delegation
headed by DR.. Walter Rathenau,
will arrive in Cannes Wednesday
to discuss the question of repara-
tion with the supreme council.
The reparation experts and com
mittee dealing with the proposed in
ternat;onal financial corporation to-
day outlined their program, which
comprises vast effort for Euro
pean reconstruction. The repara-
ton experts decided that Germany
should be asked to pay 100000, 900
gold marks in 1922 and at least an
equal sum annually afterwards.
Such payments it is considered will
be sufficient to meet the interest on
a series of German bonds of 20,-
00O, 100000 gold marks, which thus
will become negotiable.
I The economic commission decided
upon an international corporation
with a capital of 100000 pounds
with it's seat in London and with a
board of directors nominated by af-
fliated companies in each interest
ed country. These countries, in
Guiding the United States, will or
ganize corporations for promotion
only, with. a combined capital
equivalent to 2O,Ooo,0Oo pounds.
These corporations will serve as
mediums for credit transactions and
facilitating the activities. of private
enterprises in all countries where
the business field now is obstructed
by lack of credit and disorganized
finances. This plan presupposes the
organization of affiliated companies
in Germany as we'll as in the Uni
ted States.

Davis Is Hopeful
OF Settling Labor
Problems of Railroads

Seattle, Oct. 30.-Hope of an early
solution of the problem of railroad
labor conditions was expressed by
James j. Davis, secretary of labor, in
a statement made public here Sunday.
Mr.. Davis is visiting the northwest on
an inspection trip.
In the past three weeks / have
travelled more than 5000 miles on six
Of our great railway systems" Mr..
Davis said.
"On this trip / have been able to
get in touch with the human factor in
our transporting problem, having talked
with the men who do the work on these
roads.
Il have been impressed with the
strong sense of responsibility among
the railroad workers and with their
recognition of the duty that they and
their employers own to the whole peo-
pie. To my mind, we are getting close
to a solution of the problem Of insur-
ing industrial peace on our railroads.
The men who do the work are almost
universally convinced that means can
be found to adjust the relations of the
railroads and their employees in such
a way as to eliminate all possibility
of great railroad strikes.
"There seems to be a feeling among
the workers that governme nt meddling
without real power behind it tends to
stir up dissatisfaction and irritation
and that the decentralization of the
treatment of railroad labor c]ontrover-
sizes is vitality needed.
81 am hopeful that by the time /
have returned to Washington it will
be possible to formulate a definite pro-
gram that will deal sensibly and practi-
cally on a human basis with the prob
lem of railroad labor conditions"

lnaccuracy Charged
Statements contained in that section
of the law summary citing alleged evils
of marketing are attacked by the ex-
change as inaccurate. =.
Statements before committees did
not show that the transactions and
prices of grain in future trading are
susceptible TO speculation. manipulation
or control to the detriment of pro-
Queer and consumers, the complaint
SAYS. The statements did show it con
tinues. that such fluctuations as do
occur are not and never have been an
obstruction to, or burden upon inter
stnte commerce in grain
The suit, which resulted in the
former law being declared ~unconstitu-
tional was brought by individual mem
bers of the exchange. but Chief Justice
Taft declared in the decision that the
board itself should have contested the
law. Such a policy is being followed
by the board in the present fight, with
the approval of the other grain ex-
changes"
