G. 0. P. TARIFF LAW ASSAILED BY WALSH Massachusetts Senator Says Ford- ney-McCumber Act Benefits Only Big Business. SEES WORKERS DISSATISFIED Cost of Living Rising Steadily Under Schedules, He Finds. Assailing the Fordney-McCumber tarift law, Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts, declared yesterday in the Senate that a high protective tariff “is a system that exists and thinks only through intriguing, wire-pulling, s¢lf-seeking combinations of ‘politi- cians making and unmaking public officlalg,” “Your tariff bill s clearly of questionable virtue,” the senator fald, turniug to the republican side, “and the experlence of its first year of operation has certainly not dem- onstrated that It is an instrument calculated to promote the economic freedom, welfare and happiness of the American people. “The reactlon against unmitigated tariff protection springs from dissat- isfaction and distrust on the part of | g the people concerning the ~actual LOCAL RECRUIT WINS HONOR PLACE IN NAVY Bernard Yates Distinguished in Training at Hampton Roads Station.

H The Massachusetts senator cited official government reports to support his argument that since the Fordney- McCumber measure became a law the cost of living has steadily In- creased without an offsetting increase ©f wages to workers generally. He also asserted that under the opera- tion of the law the big industrial, steam’ and electric railway corpora- tions have been steadily increasing their dividends. “That our republican friends mean fo argue when they speak of the Dbenefits of the Fordney-McCumber tariff =~ law,” the senator said, “is really this:' That it is beneficial to the country because it is profi- table to big business, as the dividend tatistics show. If a republican can be expected to be frank on the tariff issue, he must admit that the figures show this law has not worked to the benefit of the farmers, wage earners, the salaried class, the small business group, or the great consum- ing public.” DRAW HEAVY PENALTIES.
