A plan for the erection by State ap

Dr. Samuel Z. Shope. of the Rotary !

that he is now having a bill prepared
asking the Legislature for an appro- ,
prtation large enough for the erection
of a branch building of the University

ask Senator Beidleman to introduce it
come time during the present session.
The tentative plan is to have a;
building erected somewhere facing the i
Capitol Park extension district, either |
on North or Walnut streets east of I
Fourth street.
Dr. Shope's suggestion was greeted <
by cheers of "Our New Building! Our
New Building!" by the 175 students,
and faculty teachers who crowded the
assembly room of the Engineers' Club,

students pledged Dr. Shope every sup- j

LOW WILSON TARIFF
t
Reading Iron Company Calls Exist
ing Business Conditions
"Hand-to-mouth"
Special to The Telegraph
Reading, Pa.. Jan. 23—The Wilson
low tariff is blamed tor what is termed
a "hand-to-mouth business" by the
Heading Iron Company, operating mills
in this city and Danville, in a statement
yesterday, explaining the reason for ;*
general wag<> reduction, to become ef
f fectlve February 8.
The puddlers have already been noti
fied that a reduction of fifty cents a
ton will start on that ate, arid as soon
as the compilation of the reduction of
other departments is completed notices
will be posted Informing the employes.
It was averred that the company's
business is 50 per cent, less than 1913,
and that it cannot compete with other
mills unless a reduction is made.
The rate to puddlers was $5 a ton,
and the officials assert this figure is
greater than the price paid by other
mills. The cut of the other depart
ments will vary, according to the in
creases received in recent years.
"The future gives no promise." was
tlie answer to an inquiry as to whether
any mills would open or suspend op
erations next week. Business since the
first of the year, it was asserted, has
steadily fallen off.
Blame for the depression resulting
in the cut was attributed to the tariff
bill, and officials find no encouragement
in present prospects.
Several thousand men are employed
in its various mill . and the reduction
will aggregate thousands of dollars
weekly.
No labor trouble is anticipated by
the company. The officials say the men
have knowledge of conditions and ap
preciate the company's position

benefit is being given under the di

The benefit will be one of the social

Wants Import of Goods
From Mexico to Cease
By Associated rress
I Washington. D. C.. Jnn. 23.—State
! Department officials to-day expressed
hope that Congress would promptlv
pass a bill introduced by Representa
tive Kahn. of California, or a similar
measure which "would prohibit the
importation into the United States of
any goods, wares or merchandise the
property of Americans and other for
eigners in Mexico which have been
confiscated by Mexican authorities."
It was pointed out that such a meas
ure would prevent most of the confis
cations from foreigners of cotton, cop
per. gold and silver bullion, cattle,
horses, hides, rubber, and so forth, be
cause it would take away the market
in which the Mexicans have been sell
