President Coolidge, it appears, will have to take up with the Tariff Com- mission, as did President Harding, the administration of the flexible pro- visions of' the Fordney-McCumber tariff law. From the beginning two factions in the commission have been at odds over the administration of this act, one contending for greater activity and the fnitiation of investigations by the commission, while the other de- clared that investigations should be made only after formal complaints had been made. The President has an engagement to meet with the Tariff Commission to- morrow. Whether the question of pol. fey is to be taken up at the conference fs not known, but it is expected that there will be some discussion of the matter. The President, it was sald recently at the White House, expects the commission to initlate investigations into schedules under the flexible pro- visions of the tariff law after proper consultation with the Chief Executive, and also to act upon formal com. plaints or petitions for investigations, Cabinet Discusses Wheat Situation—Borah in Capital | o s Ascciated pres s t pita BIRMINGHAM, Ala., September 18. g —The whipping strap, abolished two to Meet Coolidge. vears ago by Gov.
