PRISON LABOR BILL
PASSES IN SENATE
Measure Will Go to Conference fol
Adjustment of Minor
Amendments.

The bill authorizing States to bar
from sale within their boundaries goods
manufactured by other States, prison
labor, yesterday passed the Senate by a
vote Of 65 to II. The bill, sponsored by
Senator Hawes, already has passed the
House and now goes to conference for
the adjustment of minor amendments
before it is submitted to the President.
The Senate changed the bill to make
the interim before its provisions could
become effective five years rather than
three as proposed by the House.
The main attack upon the measure,
which was supported by the American
Federation of Labor, was from Sena. tors
who believed it unconstitutional.
Among these was Senator Goff, Repub-
lican, West Virginia, who made an un-
successful effort to have the measure
sent to the judiciary committee for
hearings on its constitutionality.
The measure was assailed by Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, as proposal
which would enable each State to say
what interstate commerce should be
permitted within that State. This, he
said, was in conflict with the Constitu-
ton which only gave the Federal Gov
eminent the right to regulate interstate
trade.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
on the other hand, contended that the
bill was not in conflict with the ConSti-
tuition. He declared that it was entirely
proper for a State to come to Congress
for relief when that State by its own
constitutional rights cannot pass the
legislation to keep certain goods out its
boundaries.

TARIFF BOARD CLOSES
LINSEED OIL HEARING
Briefs on Production Costs Ordered
Filed by January 20
by Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Tariff Commission yesterday
closed its hearing on production costs
of linseed oil, after r. S. Crawford
of Boxville, N. Y, representing the
Congoleum Nairn Co. indicated that
an increase in the import duty on lin
seed oil would be met by plea from
domestic manufacturers for protection
against imported linoleum.
Crawford, who said he voiced the
sentiment of linoleum manufacturers
consuming 20 per cent OF all linseed
oil produced in the United States, urged
the necessity of adequate domestic pro-
duction of oil.
1--WE feel that if there is an increase
in the linSeed oil duty we should have
to seek protection against imported
linoleum," he said. adding that, in his
opinion, an increase in the linseed oil
duty would be justified if the import
duty on faXseed were raised
Samuel Matlack of Philadelphia, rep
resenting the American Paint & VAR
niSh Manufacturers Association, also
testified that he believed an increase
in the flaxseed duty would justify a
demand on the part of domestic flax
seed crusherS for compensatory in
crease in the linseed oil duty.
The commission set January 26 as
the time limit for filing of briefs in
the case.

The latter resolution specified, how
ever, that the total appropriation for

A CHANCE For CHINA

The Chinese Nationalist government has notified
the various foreign governments holding territory in
China that it intends to take steps have the for
eigners surrender all consular jurisdiction and terri
torial rights which they now hold.
AT present dozen more foreign powers have
their courts in China and also supervise the col
lection of customs. Their nationals in China re-
sponsbe to these foreign courts and not to the Chinese
courts.
The United States founded the principle of
liberty and sefgovernment should do all in its power
to aid China in its undertaking. We would certainly
resent it were any foreign power to demand from
the right to hold their courts here.
With the weak government existing in China under
the old monarchy it not difficult for foreign pow
ers to drive sharp bargains for their gain and for
Chinas loss 1t must also be admitted there
plenty of for them to seek territorial rights
the Chinese government being too weak to grant for
eign commerce and industry proper protection.
However there has been deal in China. The

at the county clerks office yester-
day afternoon by Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson. The case had been heard

a butcher knife cut up his clothing,
later stabbing him in the back as
he sought to get away from her.
The woman was arrested by city
police at the time and entered plea
of guilty to charge of simple as.

tiff in the case.
