In Other Districts.
The Newark News last evening said:
Assurances of financial assistance,
as well as victory In the near future
were made to the striking batters of
the Orange district at a large ly at
tended mass meeting held today In
the Orange armory. National Presi-
dent John A. Mollitt, of the United

3 here were John W. culley, score
fury of the list Trimme s' Association
of the South Nor-walk district, and for-
mer Senator William P. Bailey, of
Bethel. ‘
In his address President Moifitt re.
viewed the financial situation of the
strike. He assured the men that the
benefits to be paid next Saturday would
be larger than the amount paid outlast
Saturday. He announced that after
next Saturday the treasurers of the
various locals throughout the district
would be In a position to pay the usual
weekly benefits of $7 for married men
and $5 for single men, from the funds
to be derived from the weekly asst-us-
ments of ten cents to be levied by the
American Federation of Labor to
every union man in the country-
Mr. Sculloy was accorded an outbu-
elastic reception, when. President Mof
tilt, in introducing him, declared that
he had resigned a lucrative poaitiou
as deputy sheriff at the beginning of
the strike. Both Mr. Scullcy and Mr.
Bailey reviewed the batting situation
In the New England districts, and
pointed out that much of the success
of the present strike depended on the
journeyman of Orange, as the bosses
of this district were making the most
determined effort to operate their
plants with non-union men,
The meeting was the first since the
beginning of the present strike from
which newspaper men were excluded.
No reason was given for the. executive
session other than that the officers
were enforcing the bylaws.
The New Yo‘rk Trade lit-cord today
says:
With the employment of over sev-
enty new bands in the factory of to
V. Counett & Co., In Orange, on Sun-
day, and the securing of forty yester-
day, the factory is now said to be
nearly up to its regular complement.
0f the 110 new men only six are said
to be unskilled in the, batting trade.
Other factories are reported to have
secured a corresponding increase. It Is
said that a number of the new frauds
have come from Philadelphia, and it Is
reported that even a. larger force is
expected in the near future.
According to report. Memphis labor
unions have promised financial support
to the striking batters, and have air
pointed a committee to waltton the
buyers and heads of various Memphis
mercantile houses, to urge that they
buy only hats with the union label.

as far as practicable the benefit- of the
Philippine market for American manu-
facturers and products. The bill makes
some additions to the free list. There
will be an increase In internal revenue
duties by which it Is hoped to make
up the loss which the Philippine Is-
lands will. sustain by the trade provis-
tons in the pending Payne tariff hill.
The Internal revenue laws for the
Philippines are enacted by the Philip
pine Assembly. The president‘s flies-
sage follows:
18 the Senate and House of repre-
scutntives:
“I transmit. herewith a communica-
tion from the Secretary of War, on.
closing one from the chief of the flu.
man of Insular Affairs. in which is
transmitted a proposed tariff revision
law for the I’hlllpplu‘c Islands.
't’l‘hla pleasure revises the present
Phlilppinv tariff. simplifies It and
makes it conform as nearly as possibil-
to the regulations of the customs laws
of the United States. especially ltvitlr
respect to packing and packages. The
present Philippine regulations have
been cumbersome and dilllcult for Ann
ericun merchants anti exptirters to
comply with. Its purpose to to rural
:he new conditions that will arise un-
icr the sectiou'of the pending United
States tariff bill which provides, with
.tert In limitations. for free trade hc
twe ii the United States and the is
lands. It Is drawn with a view to pro-
crvlug to the islands as much customs
'ercuuc as possible and to pron-ct in
I reasonable measure those Industries
which now exist III the islands.
“The bill now transmitted has been
iruwu by a board of thrift exports. of
which the tubular collector of customs,
.‘ol. George R. Coltou. was the presi-
icnt. The board held a great many
men meetings in Manila and conferred
fully with representatives of all busi~
tress Interests in the Philippine Is
lauds. It is of great importance to
,the welfare of the Islands that the
‘Jlll should be passed at the same time
with the pending Payne bill, with spec
3! reference to the provisions of which
it was prepared.
“I respectfully recommend that this
trill be enacted at the present session
if Congress as one incidental to and
required to the passage of the Payne
illl.

“The White House, April 14, 1909."
Secretary of War Dickinson In for-
warding the papers to the president
says: “I have not had time to exam-
me the bill in detail, ‘and have not
infhcieuttacquaintance with the sub-
iect to say whether or not it is what
It should be, but General Edwards
who is familiar with the matter, recom-
mends It, and I havo no doubt that
with your own familiarity with the sub-
lect. you will be able to dispose of it."
The letter of General Edwards, dat-
ed April 1, and addressed to Secre-
tary Dickinson. after describing the
measures and its purposes in much
the Bsame language as the president’ 3,
an“It will be understood that the result
of the free admission of American
goods into the Philippine Islands must
revolutionize business In the Philip
pines, and unless the adoption of that
policy is accompanied by a revision of
the present Philippine tariff, it will
be disastrous to some important in-
.iustries in the Islands, and also result.
In such serious loss to the customs
revenue as to embarrass the Philip-
pine government.’
“It has bad publicity in the United
States and it is believed that contend-
Ing interests have been reconciled and
as far as schedules are concerned it
should meet with no opposition. For
stance, the schedules relating to the
introduction of tobacco, Sumatra leaf
and sugar, are made identical with
the.pending Payne bill, and therefore
have removed .the apprehension that
those goods cah be imported Into the
Philippine Islands at a less tariff rate
and thence into the United States free
as the growth and product of the Phil
ippine Islands.
“The roposed revision has the ap-
proval o the goVernor-general and the
government he represents in the Phil
ippino Islands.
“it is therefore respectfully suggest.
ed that this bill be presented as soon
as practicable, and the importance of
its passage at this session of Congress,
for the reasons stated. be impressed
