CLUB WOMEN II MEMPHIS Conditions have not change J in the window glass industry and in consequence conservative manufacturers are evidencing considerable alarm, they realizing that matters cannot go along as at present for any considerable time and another slump in prices be avoided, and for this reason a meeting is being held in Cleveland, the object being to take steps looking to a curtailment of output. It is no secret that prices have reached a stage which does not cove rthe cost of production at the best located and managed hand plants, and it is not to be wondered at that conservative manufacturers who are so unfortunate as to have their money Invested in this industry are exerting every effort to turn the tide and save themselves from ruin. It is conservatively estimated that there is at the present time about 2,000,000 boxes of glass in the hands of manufacturers, hand and machine combined, and of the production that is at present  made it is figured that about 50 per cent o( the hand output is going into stock and that machine factories are finding market for ouly a small percentage of the glass that is being turned out, this being due to the lower quotations than are being made by hand operators. Many of Unhand manufacturers favor a withdrawal of the wage scale and the closing of the plant not later than June l-i A change for either bette" or worse, is likely to come within the netx two or three weeks, and in the meantime it behooves the distributing trade to keep their eyes open and their ears close to the ground.

Senator Cullom (Hep., 111.), chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, was called to the White House tor a conference,with President Taft. Washington, April IV An informal notice that the I'nited States will shortly receive a note from Mexico with the assurance of "definite restrictive policy on the border was received at the White House. A resolution practically instructing President Taft to declare war on Mexico at the next recurrence of filing across the American border should be reported to the senate by tne foreign relations commit to. .1 - cording to a statement today by Senator Stone, a member of the committee. "Ordinarily 1 am opposed to war, but in this case the situation is such that something must be done Our American soldiers should make the Mexicans respect our warnings, land words having failed, they should use bullets," said Ston» It is apparent today that neither the president nor his cabinet advisers have any desire to take action that will send our troops across the border so long as congress ;s in session and the final decision to intervene in the affairs of Mexica may be mad by the only branch of the government that possesses the constitutional power to determine a step of such grave imj portance. One of the important things of the day was the dispatch from the s retary of state to Ambassador WiNon urging him to seet if the Mexican answer to this American request that Federal troops avoid directing their tire toward Douglass cannot be expedited. No answer was received during the day from Mexico i>» that effect.Phis is the most serious phase of the Mexican situation. President Taft is described as fearing that the hour is near for intervention on the fronties, but he will go exceedingly slow in bringing such a matter to a focus and may submit the matter to congress oa his initiative. Congress, however, being in session is apt to heed appeals from the frontier for protection against Mexican bullets, and may force tin* president's hand Secretary of War Dickinson tod r. repeated the assurance that no American force will cross the Mexican frontier, no matter how badly an American town is riddled by bullets, unit s congress gives the order, and he added, significantly, that inasmuch as congress was in session the problem nf protecting Americans from the fire of contending Mexican forces is up to congress for solution. cans.
