 Mobilization of representatives ffQm watch and clock making com naunities Is now under way and an effort will be made to convince 1ile state department that reduc- ton in tariff rates under the 1HinB-American reciprocal trade treaty would be ruinous to the American industry, it was learned here Thursday at the office of Representative Joseph Smith.
 MP Smith, it was said, contacted Representative John T. Buckbee of Illinois Wednesday and discussed the problem with him. Mir Buck bee win join the fight, it was stated, in behalf of the Western Clock Company of LaSalle. III.
 From another front was learned that Representative ; Chauncey Reed, also of Illinois. is girding his war t0gs tot take up the fight for the Elgin National Watch Co.
 Mfr Reed said he is now collect. ing data ''of an impressive nature" to present to the tariff commis- sion in the nature of a protest against such move. MT Reed stated that it was imperative that mo reduction be made if the man. sufacture of watches shall continue.
 The reduction, he said, would virtually mean the end of manufac. ttire of watches in his district and that only the assembling of watch es would be carried on.
 He cited the fact that the differ ence in wage rates makes it almost impossible for he American manu- facturers to compete with the Swiss makers and that there was danger Of serious competition from Ger many and Japan also. Thousands of workers in this country will be affected by any reduction he said.
