TWO-CENT POSTAGE TO AID
SOUTH AMERICA TRADE
Congress Lenders Advocate Reduction
ot Present Rate 6n Malls.
WASHINGTON, Sept, 13.-As a further
stimulus to the -eommerce between the
Uhltcd States and South America, It la
proposed by Congress lenders who spe
cialize in , postal matters that steps be
taken to obtain a 2-ccnt postage rata to.
thoso countries that will consent to
an arrangement 'of this chaiacter. It
requires nt present A S-cent stamp ta
carry n, lottw; to South America, and tho
argument Is being presented that It would
bo a long stride toward n closer commer
cial relationship If that part of the world
could be placed on tluj.pamo basis with
respect to mall charges as In now ehjoved
by Hngland, Germany, Canada, Jlexlco
and Panama,
Heprcsentatlvc 'Janfes T. Lloyd, of Mis
souri, for man- years a member of the
House Postem"- Committee and n. close
student of postal nlTnlrstoday snld that
there was a general sentiment among
members of the House and Senate In fa
xor ot this proposed reduced postage.
The change would Involve a serlos of
postal treaties tot he negotiated between
the 1'nlted States and each of tho coun
tries which are willing to 'enter Into the
new arrangement. These treaties would
be nindo In behalf of the t'nlted States
by the Postmaster General and would be
similar to those now existing between
this country and those with which tho
two-cent rate w' applies.
The postal arrangements with tho South
American nations nre the result of this
eountrj's connection with tho Universal
Postal Union. To countries outside the
Union the first class postago rate Is so
cents an ounce.
A l-ilnt resolution, the Adoption of which
w uld Indicate the sentiment of Congress
on the question of lower rate. Is contem
plated oy some of the leaders.

WAR AND CANAL OPEN!
AUSTRALIA'S TRADE GATES
JForelftn Commerce Expert pees Op
portunity for the United States.,
The coincidence of the war and the
opening of' tho Panama Canal gives the
United Stales a chance to double its
trado with Australia and New Zealand
according to Dr. Albert A. Snowden, for
cign trado commlssloner-for the National
Association of Manufacturers. Hie na
tions pf Germany, France, Austria, Bel
glum, Italy, Holland and Switzerland,
which In 1912 supplied Australia with
goods worth $67,417,600 and New Zealand
with goods worth $3,489,930, nro practi
cally prevented by mobilizations or actual
military operations from producing com
modities for export
Soclor Snowden says that tho United
ten can ill! practically all ot Aus
tralia's standing order at nn acceptable
price. United States exports to Australia
nnd New Zealand In 1012 amounted to
$64,063,090. He docs not think that In tho
expansion movement Great Britain need
ho feared. Tho mother country has al
ways stood first on the colony's books,
but BrltlBh factories In wartime he be
hoves, will have all they can do to keep
that position.

not wishing to go to councils another

4571 Melrose street, was arraigned b.
fore Magistrate Boric today, accused of
picking cool from the tracks of the.
Pennsylvania Railroad nt 'Church and
Tacony streets. Her husband was totf
poor to buy coal, sho said.

between sobs told tho magistrate sho
ha'd been In America only a short
while, nnd becauso other women told her
It wns not wrong to pick oont alio had,
done so. She could not speak English,
so nn Interpreter translated her stnrv.
She was fined $13.50, but later Maglj.

young woman's husband,
"We camo to America only seven,
months ago nnd wero parried," said Mrs.
Urbnliskl. "Mv husband worked In a gtss,
factory. Thero has been no work for
some time, and ho could get tio money, r
worked too, but because I nm to bccom

little stove.
"Women told mo it was not wrong to
pick coal fro mthe railroad tracks. 1 hav
never dono wrong before, nnd I would
sooner freeze than steal."
Tho young wife's story caused many
persons In tho courtroom to cough and
wlpo their eyes. Tho magistrate sent fop
