MANGANESE DUTY
IS DECLARED VITAL
Restoration to 1880 Levels Urged
as Defense Measure by Chief
of Cuban.American Corp.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-Restora-
tion of the manganese tariff to 1880
levels is absolutely essential for ma
tional defense and is justified on
strictly economic grounds, Langbourne
M. Williams, jr., president of the
Cuban-American Manganese Corp. a
subsidiary Of Freeport Sulphur Co.,
asserted in a memorandum to the
State Department opposing the in
clusion of manganese ores in the pro-
posed trade agreement with Great
Britain.
Pointing out that steel cannot be
manufactured without manganese,
and that the War Department, after
exhaustive studies, has listed man.
ganese as strategic mineral No. /" in
its plans for national defense, Mr..
Williams memorandum expressed grave
doubt as to the ability Of this country
to secure adequate supplies in the
event OF war unless domestic produc-
ers are encouraged now to develop
the ore reserves existing in this
country
While recognizing the basic sound
ness of the trade agreement pro-
gram" Mr.. Williams continued. "the
simple fact Is that the manganese
tariff at no time operated to burden
or restrict the foreign trade of the
United States, nor has subsequent re-
duction of the duty in the Brazilian
reciprocal trade agreement of 1885
served to increase foreign purchasing
power for American products"

FARM MACHINERY
PROFITS TO DROP

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Although
the demand for farm machinery has
been maintained at the impressive
1887 level, gradual decrease in ag-
ricultural equipment manufacturers
earnings is outlined for 1888, accord
ing to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys.
Farm income has been showing a
definite slackening tendency since the
spring of 1887. This has been due
primarily to declining farm product
prices, together with smaller Market
ings OF some major commodities.
Meanwhile, prices paid by farmers
1or their own needs have not come
down proportionately. with the result
that the purchasing value of the farm
dollar has been cut to the lowest level
since the 1885 midyear.
although some rise in farm COM
dlty prices may be recorded from cur
rent levels, average prices this year
Will be below those in 1887" states
the survey. True, the farmers in
come will be bolstered by Government
payments, but such subsidies will not
counterbalance the lower revenues
anticipated from marketings. Mean
while, no sharp reductions in produc-
uon expenses are in prospect.

NEW YORK, March 2l--Just who
has air-conditioning equipment, what
kind, how many non-uSerS want it and

are some of the matters covered in a
study of the conditioning industry
just completed by McGraw-Hill Pub
fishing Co. On the theory that air
conditioning is believed by many to be
Americas hope of a new industry
which will create employment and use
. vast amount of raw materials, Nc
GraW-Hill's research staff made Ma
tion-wide personal interview survey,
questioning over $500 executives and
engineers in 1,095 companies to find
out the present status of the air-con-
ditioning industry in both the COM
mercial and industrial fields.
The survey dug into the experience
Of 557 industrial companies and 264
firms representing a cross-section of
the commercial market, then went on
to 166 distributors. dealers and con-
tractors. 40 engineers and architects
and 80 public utilities.
Highlights of the findings show the
following strongly defined angles:
l. Replacement of equipment seems
more needed in industrial than in
commercial establishments, because
industrial air-conditioning plants are
much older. Industrial units more
than five years old account for 48 per
cent of the total; in commercial COM
panies, only 80 per cent are more
than three years old.
2. Sixty-four per cent of the in
dustrial firms bought their equipment
because of processing needs, while only
36 per cent mentioned comfort as a
decisive reason, but commercial buyers
went heavily (78 per cent? for the
comfort argument.
3. A prime appeal in the commercial
field, determining the type of equip
ment to be purchased, was low cost
In the industrial plants, dependability
Of the equipment outweighed all other
considerations
4. Air conditioning is used in sum-
mer only by So per cent of the COM
mercial buyers, and the year round by
~ per cent. The industrial user keeps
his air-conditioning units busy the
year round in 78 per cent of the cases
reported.
S. Among non-users, so per cent of
the industrial firms surveyed and 72
per cent of the commercial establish
ments recognized the need for air con-
ditioning and about a third of each
class are planning to buy; the other
two-thirds quoted cost as the main
reason for not buying air-conditioning
equipment at this time.

swung a large portion of voters
from the Republican party to the
Democratic rolls in 1895. But that,
says Dr.. High, is no sure indication
that the preponderance Of the Negro
vote will again be Democratic in
1898 or 1912. -'-a -'sas- as's'@ =

SECOND ARTICLE ON NEGRO
APPEARS IN SATURDAY EVENING
POST BY DR.. STANLEY HIGH

"The last three elections, and
particularly 1885, he says, ind
Gates that the Negroes are likely to
continue to vote together. In 1886,
they moved, bag and baggage, into
the Democratic camp. But it IS a
long jump from that fact to the
conclusion that they can be counted
upon to park there indefinitely. In
view of what is stirring IN the
Northern Negro community, f is
exceedingly unlikely that the Negro
voter can be counted on to park
anywhere indefinitely"
Behind this, says the author, is
the new force of Negro coalition,
sponsored by such leaders as Walter
White and A. Phillip Randolph. He
proves his point by citing several
instances in Pittsburgh, st. Louis
and elsewhere where Negroes con-
s0lidated to their advantage.
