Representative Francis Burton Har rison, of-New York, and the memljers who, a year ago, dra fted and put'throug the llousethe Fret' Sugnrbilr", are behind tht movement and i hey declare that they will haye enough support io the sommittco d on the lloor ol the House to put their plan ;lirough. Thio is easily the most radical step yet taken to reform the tariff and relieve the average housekeeper of the present burden of excessive food prices. Op position will develop of co'irsc, but it i$ admii ted that the sntimeut of the coun try will support s-uch a bill. To this extent the revisionists believe the move will be good politics. They recall the effective campaign cry of the Republicanswhen, some vears ago, they use a f i ee( breakfast table as a cant baiern slosa'n. They went far enough aft nut time to put coflee on the fre list as well a 8 a few other. minoi articles bT food.

' He Announces He Will Go Before Leg - islative Committee In Behalf of Strikers . MAKES PERSONAL INQUIRY Appeared Deeply Moved at What He Saw and Spoke With Girls vr Sympathetically. New York,' Jan. 24 Col. Theodore Roosevelt took a hand in the strike in the white goods and the wrapper and kUnona industries which has involved thousands of girls mostly living on the .gjst side. After a personal investiga tion of the conditions under which they work he announced he would urge the appointment of a legislative commission to investigate with a view to preventing further strikes as well as to ameliorate their lot. For nearly three hours the Colonel talked with and questioned many girls of different nationalities, trying to learn from each all the details of her life her work,' her home and what wages sh earned. He appeared deeply moved at what he heard and spoke with the girls so sympathetically that they told him their troubles wilholt hesitation. Col. Roosevelt's visit to the east side was brought about by the Child Wei fare Committee of the Progressive Ser vice, of which Prof. George W. Kirchway of Columbia is President, and Miss Madeline Doty, Secretary. After con sulting with Miss Gertrude Barnum, organizer of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, they decided to seek Col. Roosevelt's co-operaHon. Miss Doty went to Oyster Bay and ex plained the situation to Col. Roosevelt. He immediately determined to invest igat for himself and came to New York at once with Miss Doty. Accompanied by Miss Barnum and Miss Doty, he visited different meeting places of the girls on the east side for nearly three hours, devoting tnost of his time to stays at the German Odd Fel lows' Hall at No. 57 St. Mark's place arid at the Henry House, No. 49 Henry street. Here he met girls of German, Greek, Italian, Austrian, Russian and American birth. He won the confidence of many of them at once by speaking in their own tongues, but all were willing to tell their stories under his questioning. A large number of the girls were under fifteen, and in their tales of the small wages they earn, often with others de pending on them for support, the Colonel seemed especially interested. r liC.

Merchants Prepare to Pay; Fare of Customers Under Certain Conditions. CLEANING UP THE ROPER MILL, Following Recent ' Fire, Company Expected to Resume Opera, j ations Soon. r (Spetial to the Journal) ', Oriental, Jan. 241 t a meeting of -the Oriental Merchants Association held a few night ago, the organization decided to introduce an innovation in this section. Recent changes made in the schedule of the Norfolk Southern train from New 'Bern make it possible forjthose livjng on the route tocometo Oriental on the morning train and have considerable time in which to do their trading before the train leaves in the afternoon. With this condition exist ing the Association decided to adopt a plan by which the railroad fares of the traders would be puid, one way for purchases amounting to a certain sum and the full trip lor those amounting to another sum. This action will be extensively y adverti'-d all over the county and the plan put in action at once. A force of men are now engageJ in cleaning up the John L. Roper Lumber Company's plant at this place. Several months ajjo this plant was visited by a destructive fire and a short time later it was closed . It is understood here thit the company contemplate resum ing operations at an early da.e. The Pickles box and barrel factory which has been operated at Bayboro has been purchased by S. W. Ferebee of Stonewall and will be moved to thisv place. There is njuch available timber around Oriental and the plant will be ideally lpcared. It will begin operation at an early date. A. W. Hnskins, one of the leading merchants here and who for several years has been located on the South side of the town, has moved into the building formerly occupied by the Roper Lum ber Company's store. Recently considerable work has been done on the streets of the towrf and a present they are in a very good codi- tion. It is the intention ol the Commis sioners to make other improvements in the near future.
