THE BOYS' SHOP OF THE P-B STORE MINORITY REPORT SAYS TARIFF [STRIKERS BACK AT WORK. = No Concessions Granted to Press : BILL WILL BENEFIT “FAVORITES" “Like Every Conspiracy, It ‘Has Been Hatched in Secrecy.” Democratic Committeemen Find. Democratic members of the ways and means committeg in a minority report flled today in the House of Representatives denounce the admin- istration tariff bill as a “conspiracy to benefit a few favorites at the expense of all humanity.” ‘ “Like every conspiracy, jt has been hatch In secrécy,” the report says, adding: ‘“We record our solemn judgment ‘that this measure is a plan to plun- der the people of our own country and to oppress the people of every country for the benefit of a few men who have succeeded in usurping for all practical purposes the taxing power of this government, using it primarily to enrich themselves, and secondarily to finance the political party which tolerates, encourages and facilitates the usurpation.” Not the Time to Write Law. The report declares the tariff was not an issue in the last campaign, and that this is not the time to write a tariff law. They assert that the problems which “confront our people, cripple our industry, stifle our com- merce and perplex an amiable admin- istration have nothing to do with the tarif.” * Emphasie is laid upon two things— the probable effect of the bill on American commerce and the world in- dustrial situation generally, and upon the substitution of the system of American valuation as a basis for levying tariff dutles. Foreign Trade Decreases. Polnting to the rapidly decreasing American foreign trade, the report says, “We need no tariff to cut off the imports and the exports of the United Statds. “In the face of the uncertainty which this bill necessarlly compels as to duties, it will be impossible for any importer to continue in business, and the result of this provision wili be the destruction of the import trade of the United States.” Another effect of the American valuation system, the report con- tends, is that the same duty will be imposed upon “the intelligent high cost production of Canada that we are to impose upon the coolie labor of India, China and Japan.” Asserting that it is proposed by this bill “to declare a savage com- mercial war upon the whole human family,” the democratic minority says it is doubtful “in the history of po- litical affairs a measure so irredeem- ably and universaly vicious has ever been submitted to the law-making power of a civilized society.” Charging that the bili was pre- Z These and every cool Summertime meals offer you wide choosing enhanced deliveries! pieces, hand-ma the roughest so Daily 8 solid brass. fittings. ) THE AVENUE AT NINTH pared outside of the ways and means committee, the minority report says the manner of its making up “can- not be defended.” Changes Whispered ‘to Few. “Its last minute changes whispered to a favored few,” fhe report con- tinues, “are in kecping with the fn- trigue, secrecy and jobbery which in- spired’ its covert subtleties, its con- cealed indirection; framed its newly invented schedules, cast its complex and compounded rates, and fixed its unascertainable and incalculable du- ties. with the trickery which has transformed schedules, hidden jokers, transplanted ftems, changed its_no- menclature and made it impossibfe to compare it with any of its predeces- sors. “Cunning has made difficult, if not impossible. a comparison by printing it in deadly parallel with previous law. This_conspiracy has required since last December—or six months— to hatch its monstrosity.” Democrats Sought in Vain. The democrats say in their report that they vainly sought to have the committee refer the bill to the Treas- ury Department with a view to ob- taining information as to the proba- ble amount of revenue to be derived, as well as the economic effect upon the country. They also say that they sought to obtain action through the |committee from which the rates and classificaions in the bill might be compared with the Underwood and Payne-Aldrich laws. “It seems,” the renort says, the majority prefer not to give in- fcrmation to the House touching the provisions of this bill, and this is a very natural position for them to take, since if the membership of the House, or the country, really knew the meaning and effect of its classi- “that fications, rates and general provi- sions, they would repudiate it in the most pronounced fashion.” —_— men in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 7.—Vir- tually all the pressmen who went on strike at job printing plants in this city on May 1 returned to work this eek, it was announced yesterday by the fladelphia Typothetae. Official notice of the discontinuance of the|g strike, it was stated, was recelved | from the Philadelphia Printing Pres: men's Union, No. 4, which, howeve does not include the feeders in | membership. No concessions were granted, according to the employers. About 1,700 pressmen and feede: were out. They demanded a forty-: . four-hour week instead of foriy-eight | (s hours. At the h national Prihting Pressmen’'s Unfon here it was sald that only members of the local union, which recently se- ceded from the international organi- zatlon, had returned to work. 50 per cent of the strikers are affi- lated with the international, it was | atated, “and they will remain out for | & five years if necessary to gain the forty-four-hour week.” FIRES ALARM QUEBEC. Only Heavy Rains Will Save Vast Forest Areas. ~ QUEBEC, July 7.—Reports from the area in this province being swept | & by forest fires continue to be any- thing but reassuring, Premier Tasch- ereau and Honore Mercler, minister of crown lands, said todayv, after a | conference last night with forest | [2 rangers throughout the province. Local showers have in some in-|E stances helped where fires were just starting, but where the blaze had | gained a headway, it was declared, a long and heavy downpour would be neceunrr to relieve the situation. The sit villages in that vicinity were almost hemmed in by the flames and their destrluction seemed imminent. Mr. Mercler sald he had given in- | & structions that no expense b in fighting the fires. = * opazed WILL CUT TOBACCO CROP. Lynchburg Sectlon Expects Reduc- tion, Says Farm Agent.
