1t was decided. at the conference,
TO settle the case for $1,000. al
though it was announced at the
time that the figure was $500, no
public mention being made Of the
fact that Corporation Counsel Kirk

common CO, neil would be called
upon to pas ON only $500. order

ComplicatiC,s developed, how
ever, because Mrs. Berti's husband
has been in Z state institution, and
Attorney Casaie was notified by
Corporation Counsel Kirkham that
it would probably be impossible to
obtain the expected $500 through
the public welfare department. 1t ia
possible that the common council
may be asked to approve a $1,000
settlement. and in anticipation of
the possibility of refusal on the
part OF the council. the case has
been assigned for trial in superior
court February 81. the day after the
monthly meeting of the council.

Senator Ransdeli argued that mill

from India. and produced with
cheap labor. were displacing domes-
tic low grade cotton in the manu-
facture Of cotton baggins. He de-
clared that unless jute we're made
dutiable, the cotton producer would
be placed in a more depressed con-
dition.
Jute to the amount of e07. 900. 0o0
pounds came into the United States

that this was equivalent to 416.N0O
bales OF cotton worth $4,000. 900.
A total Of 5sS.0O0.O00 pounds of

contended there was scarcely a use
