and one Farmer-Labor member. The
other two Republicans in the Senate
were paired for the amendment, as
were two Democrats and the other
Farmer-Labor member.
The Democrats who opposed the
Administration on this issue were led
by Senator Pittman, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, who
never before has differed with Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hull on any major
issue affecting the nations external
affairs. He was followed by an i'm
portant group of Western Democratic
Senators, most of whom have been
fairly consistent Administration sup
porters.
This group, apparently rejecting
the apprehensions of cattle men,
miners and farmers, included Senators
Connally of Texas, Adams and John
son of Colorado, Ashurst of Arizona
Bone of Washington, Bulow Of South
Dakota, Chavez of New Mexico, Clark
of Idaho, Downey of California, King
of Utah, McCarran of Nevada, Muir
ray and Wheeler of Montana, ant
O'Mahoney Of Wyoming.
Except for Senator Glass, the
Southern Senators voted with the Ad
ministration, apparently feeling tina
they were on traditional Democratic
low-tariff ground.
Interest in the vote was so grea
that every one of the Senates ninety
six members were on record excep
Senator Andrews of Florida.
Of the twenty-five Democratic Sen
ators whose terms expire with tn
present Congress, eleven voted for ant
eleven against the Administration to
day.
1t has been apparent during tn
committee hearings and floor debate
in both the House and the Senate tha
the Republicans intended to build VI
record of opposition to the trad
agreements program as a campaig
, issue. The three Presidential candi
dates in the Senate, Mr.. Vandenbere
Mr.. Taft and Mr. Bridges, have spoke
against the program and voted for tn
Pittman amendment today.
After pro forma motion to recon

ing to note.
"The United States Housing Act re-
quires that at least 1870 Of the orig
inal capital development cost of every
low-rent housing project must be met
by the localities. Every locality has
met that standard, frequently in part
by outright donations but more gen
orally through agreement to sell local
housing authority bonds to local in
vestors.
"In addition, to the local participa-
ton in the original capital develop
ment cost, the law sets up as a mini
mum condition that the localities must
contribute at least 20% of the Fed
eral annual contributions provided to
achieve low rentals. In the interest OF
achieving very low rentals for very
low income groups, every one of the
localities will supply, over the whole
life of the project, local annual con-
tributions in the form of tax ex-
emption far in excess of this 20H
minimum. These local annual contri-
buttons mean low rentals and new
concept of the relative responsibilities
of the Federal and local Governments
in the development of public pro.
grams.
"The localities without exceptions
have looked upon this form of pro-
ductive financial assistance to slun
clearance and low-rent housing as
much less of a burden on the taxpayer
than the heavy costs of sickness
crime, delinquency and fire, imposed
by slum conditions.

A. F. L. Members In N. Y.
Top CIO Total In u. S.

New York, N. Y.-The dues-paying
membership Of American Federation
of Labor unions in New York State
increased from 100000 to 1,150,OO0
during 1889, according to statistics
made public by Thomas j. Lyons,
president of the State Federation of
Labor.
Mr.. Lyons declared that the A. F.
of L. membership in New York State
alone was greater than the paid-up
membership of the CIO in the entire
nation. The State Federation head
said his statement was intended "to
enable the public to realize that the
CIO is not nearly so potent as it pre-
tends to be and that actually the CIO,
compared with the A. F. Of L., is like
little Chihuahua compared with the
great big st. Bernard"

Behind 1899
Package Mail, How
ever, Ranks Well Up
With Other Years; Fl
nal Two Days Before
Christmas May Bring
Total Up Sharply.

While volume has been very heavy
during the past week. indications TO-
cay were that the Henderson posi-
Office was running slightly behind
last years volume in aggregate busi-
ness. according to Postmaster J. H..
league.
Package mail, however, consisting
largely Of parcel post matter, ranked
we'll along with other years, and
some veteran postal men thought ii
might set a new high record. THAI
appeared particularly true Of lncOm-
ing shipments.
AT the first of the month, the post
office stocked 100000 of the l 10
cent postage stamp denomination,
This being chiefly used on greeting
ards, and on Monday morning only
$4,000 Of this type Of stamp was left.
While some of these stamps may
AVE been doubled to do the duty
OF ordinary first class mail, the vast
majority of stamps of this kind Went
IN unsealed greeting cards. Cancel
Ia tions run through the electric CAN
ceiling machine were almost abreast
Monday of the corresponding day d
ear ago, Mr. league said
Numerous extra employees have
been hired to handle the Christmas
lush, and nearly every day saw all
incoming and outgoing letters, cards
and parcels cleared during the day.
Speedy service has been maintained
N distributions and deliveries in the
,ity, and outgoing mail has been
promptly cleared.
Indications today were that the
question of equalling or exceeding
the $500 December business last
year depended largely on meter set
tings before the end OF the month,
and arrival and delivery OF printed
stamped envelopes that have already
been ordered, and on which imme-
date delivery can be made when
they arrive.
