Democrats Today Are Work ing on Plan for Cutting Duty on The Cotton Manufactures. BIG ORGANIZATIONS COMBATTING THE CUT Mill Interests Represented Be fore Ways and Means Com mittee Last Year's Bill Model. By AsnodaUi Prest. Washington,, Jan. 22. The demo cratic plan for cutting the tariff on cotton manufactures, which will be recommended to the house early in the extra session of congress, brought representatives of that. Industry to the ways and means committee hear ing today. Democratic leaders hold that cotton bears a relation to the World's economic progress more Im portant than that of wool, silk and flax combined and that the American people pay annually about $200,000, 000 for their cotton goods by reaaon of the present tariff rates. They contend that no actual loss In revenue will result from the proposed legislation, which, is identical with the cotton bills the democrats sought to enact in 1911 and 1912, and that the revision wiuld reduce the annual cost of cotton clothing by more than 80,000,000. The estimated duties un der the proposed revised schedules would aggregate HO, 599, 000 against 13,673,801 in 1910, and (12,369,032 in 1911, the latest available statistics. Democratic members of the com mittee believe that the rates provided In the tentative schedule, the bill of last year and the year before, are more fairly compositive than haw been proposed in ;any other tariff measure and that they would offer a substantial economy In the cost- of living. The republican minority deny these contentions. Cotton affects some of the most powerful industrial Interests concern ed in the tariff and most of the big organizations national associations and some of the smaller bodies were ready to testify. . . John H. Fedden'ol New York, a cot ton glove manufacturer, advocated a greater differential in the duties be tween cotton cloth and the finished gloves product. i Carolina Men Heard. R. M. Miller, Ji., of Charlotte. N. C, for the American Cotton Manufactur ing Association, favored specific du ties and submitted recommendations for rates substantially lower than in the present law. Stuart W. Cramer, of Charlotte, N. C, a yarn manufacturer, agreed that from the standpoint of a tariff for revenue, the rates on cotton yarn were too high. He submitted a schedule of lower duties. Representative Hill brought out that the duties recom mended by Mr. Cramer were higher than the suggestive basis of the tariff board's report. . Mr. Cramer said he spoke for the American Cotton Manu factoring association, with members In both the south and north, and add ed that the cotton - manufacturing business In many cases lately has been on a basis below cost Lewis W. Parker of Greenville, 8. C, a cotton mill owner, suggested as manufacturer, a schedule of rates with a minimum of 10 per cent on the cheaper cotton cloths and running In many cases below last session s Un derwood bill. The schedule suggest ed, he said, was on the basis that so far as the classes of goods appealing to the great masses of the people were concerned, "we must expect to make reductions to a considerable amount' Free meat" proposed by the house democrats at the last session of con gress, but blocked by a presidential veto, was Indicated as part of the extra session of congress tariff revis ion program at the hearing before trn committee yesterday., 'Members of the committee emphasized the major Ity sentiment In favor of free meati and strong trend toward free cattle, In accordance with the general polio) of the democrats last year to transfei the necessities of life to the free list Including free sugar and free lumber.

Former Speaker Justice declared in the house today that, according all .the deference and respect possibly due members of the senate who voted down his resolution to invit Bryan, Wilson and LaFollette to address the legislators on modern methods of political reform, particu larly the Initiative and referendum, these senators have been guilty of de cided discourtesy to those distinguish ed, gentlemen. He Introduced a new house resolution Inviting Bryan, Wil son and LaFollette to address the house. Mr. Justice gave notice that motion would be made later today to suspend the rules and puss the resolution. Important bills in the house Includ- ed: Williams of Buncombe To regulate child labor in factories (the child la bor committee compromise) leaving the age limit as at present and pro viding for inspection of factoric Roberts of Buncombe To protect forestfl and provide fire wardens. Williams of Buncombe To make a misdemeanor to charge an exces sive rate of interest, protect wage- earners from loan sharks.

In the senate a bill was introduced by Loyingood to require railroads to pull mileage on trains. At the conclusion of the morning hour consideration of the Justice reso lution regarding the Bryan, Wilson and LaFollette Invitation was begun. Justice spoke at length for the reso lution. Ray of Macon led the opposi tion and the house finally adjourned without taking action. Raleigh, Jan. 22. The Joint resolu tion from the house by Justice to Invite W. J. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson and R. M. LaFollette to address the legislature on Modern Methods of Political Reform, Particularl ylnitla tlve and Referendum, created a stir in the senate chamber. Senator Jones asked If the names of Taft and Roosevelt were .mentioned. Another senator made the audible side remark that he had heard Bryan so much that the invitation ought to be limit ed to Wilson. Senator Ward sent up an amendment to limit the Invitation to Wilson who could choose his own subject. The resolution had been gotten be fore the senate In the meantime through suspension of rules on mo tion of Senator Hobgood. Senator Hobgood spoke strongly against Ward's substitute and for the original resolution as it has passed the house. He insisted thta it had gone out to the world that the house had passed this resolution and It would be a most inhospitable thing to. kill the resolu tion in the senate. Senator Mason opposed the resolu tion on the ground that with such a precedent there would be nowhere to stop the practice. Taft, . Senator Bailey, of Texas and others would have to be Invited .to speak against Initiative and referendum. Similar resolutions Involving perhaps, woman suffrage would be offered later with demands for invitations to national notables to speak. The general assembly would have a delightful cavalcade with women flocking In to tell how North CarollnR should be governor. Every man with a pet bill would come with a demand that notables he named should be in vlted to harangue the legislature and none of them could be consistently turned down. When consideration of the house resolution of invitation was taken up again Senator Phillips spoke briefly In favor of it, saying he did not feel that the people of the state would ob lect to legislators getting all the In formation they could on an Important subject Senator Nimocks could see no danger In the resolution, either. Senator Jones opposed Senator Ward's substitute because It was a slap In the face of Bryan, who had been the compelling force that bad nominated Wilson. He would vote for the original resolution, but would not pledge to vote for anything In anyway save aa he saw fit Senator Peterson thought all this was consuming lots of time that be' longed to the taxpayers, and money was being wasted fast In the discus ilon. He agreed with Senator Mason, and took the occasion to announce that he was against the Initiative anj referendum and recall and everything pertaining thereto, even state-wVte primaries. Senator Little of Anson favored the resolution and mads a plea for the light to be turned on. Senator Ward withdrew his substitute and stated that ha had voted for Bryan three times and would vote for him three times again.

Improper and illegal use of railroad passes Is being investigated by the interstate commerce commission. The Inquiry has proceeded far enough to show, In the language of the commission, that ''carriers have very generally oqeyed the letter of the law," but It Is indi cated by information that has reached the cbmmlssion that "the Issuance of passep for state travel has operated to defeat the purpose of the act to regu late commerce; that passes for state travel have been issued to certain shippers and denied to others; and that the moving consideration of such passes has been the routing of inter state shipments of property." The first public hearing on the sub ject will take place at Denver tomor row. It Is intended to hold hearings in all parts of the country, but, tho commission nays, "Colorado is selected for the first hearing because It ap pears to have been a field for the is suance of free state transportation for the purpose of influencing the move ment of ltnerstate traffic, this being due, perhaps, to the fact that It has no state law forbidding the Issuance of passes." .
