 Cluded, Wool and Silk Next

Washington. D. C., July 13-Witf
 opposition to the Fordney- McCumhel
 tariff bill growing and the open revol
 among republican senators gaining
 ground rapidly. the senate finance
 committee made another effort tc
 save the situation yesterday by an
 nouncing a complete revision down ward of the textile chedules-cotton
 wool and silk
 Senator Shoot, (republoan. Utah) second in control in the committee brought in a complete new set of rates on cotton cloth, cotton hosiery and other cotton goods. As rule, the rates in the committee draft are cut about one sixth. Where a duty was to have been 30 percent ad va lorem. it is now 25 percent
 Senator Shoot, replying to ques- tions by Senator Simmons (democrat, N. CD. in charge of the opposition to the bill. said that the committee would report changes in the wool and silk schedules which also have been severely criticised. The new rates on wool and silk goods will be an- nounced, he said, as soon as the cot ton schedule is completed by the senate as a committee of the whole, matter of only a few days.
 Pressure Brought Cuts.
 The action of the committee in vir- tually rewriting these three impor- was freely admitted in the senate, of the determined opposition to the high and unscientifc rates. The commit tee was forced into making the changes, the enemies of the bill de clared, by fear that the revolt among republican senators was actually en- dangering the bill.
 Senator Jones (republican, Wash ington) in an interview yesterday took much the same position as Sen ator Edge (republican, N. J) Tuesday in condemning the measure as far too high and declaring that he would vote against it unless there was assurance that the rates could be revised down. ward without congressional action within a short time. Seven senators on the republican side oppose the bill
 
 have let it be known that their oppo- sition may be expected.
 The reduction of the rates on tex tiles was attended by a series of con ferences among the senate rpublicans, in which Senators Lodge Republican, Mass), the senate leader, and Senator Watson (republican, Ind) of the fin ance committee urged the wavering republicans to stay in line behind the pill They promised such reductions IS possible, and indicated that the bii could be justified with the promise hat within a year, perhaps, as soon | IS additional data could be collected. here would be new revision of the ariff even if the president did not eceive the necessary authority to re- idjust the rates himself.

G. A. R.HAs BEEN GREAT ORGANIZATION

Time is fast thinning the ranks of the Grand Army

organizations numbering it's members by the hundreds

smaller very rapidly. But such is the law of life

therefore, unless be occasional drummer boy, the

ton was 1911.
The Grand Army of the Republic has played an
half century-particulary in the Northern and Border
States. the generally recognized organization
of those who served in Union Army It's counter
part in the South has been the Confederate Veterans
While many of the Union soldiers at first refused
join the Grand Army, before it had been in exist
many years nearly all of the survivors found
a home within the organization Probably no similar
organization in any country contained nearly 100
per cent of the who served in army during
a single this organization accumulated of
the Union The organization was COM
petenty vigorously honestly conducted from the
beginning, and its basis patriotism.
The progress that it has been making would seem
to warrant belief that the American Legion will
equal the record of the Grand Army of the Republic
While some of the World War Veterans still hold
aloof uniting with any organization it is
able believe that in the end the with
the Grand Army of the Republic, nearly all of them
will finally become members of the vre and vigorous
