DENOERATS TO USE TARFF A WEAPON Will Stir Up Issue in Next Congress to Bring It Into 1826 Campaign. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Democr: rategy during the com- ing on Congress calls for a great anlt upon the tariff, But the ategy does not call for any action up or down. The Democrats want the issue to go over into the campaign of 1926, and thus once more the idea be taken out of ic sest ve a fine talking point in the next session of Congress which is a_long one. The President has taken hi nd squarely on the National Chairman Butler of O. P., has taken his stand, anc even though all the rocks in the world should fly from their firm base these two stalwarts will remain stead st and true to every principle of tection. he tariff issue in a wav has been vitated by the Republicans, or at 2 coterie of them. The cotton acturers of New England feel t their rates of protection on finer grades of goods are too low. T'hey say they must be protected from he low cost goods of Europe, or must ywer the wages of the industry in heir section of the country. Several er industries are sakl to feel that Fordney-McCumber rates are too und they cite the fact that the sident, under the flexible provision ot, has felt himself called upon » proclaim higher rates in a dozen istances. There have been sugges ns therefore that in the coming Con- s, which is presumed to be safely yublican, certain schedules should. be reopened and adjusted upward Democrats Are Satisfied. The Democrats have met these sug: gestions with undisguised glee. In ct they virtually have dared the sublicans to spring a move along t line.

By the Associated Press, SCHENECTADY, N. Y., April 18— The founding of the Greek letter fra- ternity system at Union College 100 years ago will be celebrated with fit- ting ceremonies here this Fall.

IN BELGIUM LIKELY Socialist-Catholic Combination Now Expected to Succeed Theunis Ministry. By the Associated Press. BRUSSELS, April 18.—Emile Van- dervelde, Socialist leader and former minister. of justice, who has been attempting since Tuesday to form a new .eabiriet to succeed that of Pre- mier Theunis, which resigned April 5, virtually abandoned his effort to- day because he was unable to obtain the support of the Flemish Catholics. Indications are that a Socialist- Catholic coalition, headed by a Catho- lic statesman, will be formed. Lib- erale e decided to form the nucleus of an opposition, regardless of which side of the house provides the cabinet. ¥ The Theunis ministry resigned, as it had previously announced it would do, regardless of the election result, on the day parllamentary elections were held throughout Belgium. The Soclalists gained 10 parliamentary seats and polled about 138,000 votes more than in the preceding election. M. Vandervelde, in response to King Albert's summons, undertook to form a Soclalist ministry. 1925—PART, 1 Murphysboro, Ill., Business Prop- erty Damage Announced.

IN SELECTING “DEVILS” Boys Will Be Put Through Strict Tests Before Admission to Apprenticeship. 3 the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, April 18.—Hap- hazard selection of printers’ devils, youths who are to become apprentice printers, is to be superseded by a scientific method of determining who shall take up the trade, according to James M. Lynch, president of the International Typographical Union. Intelligence and psychiatric tests will be empioyed to determine candi- dates’ fitness to take up the business, Mr. Lynch said. Educational require- ments will not be severe, but the tests have been designed to determine the applicant’s capacity for learning and his steadfastness of purpose. William Turnbull, a journeyman printer of Toronto and chairman of the apprenticeship committee of the union, has worked out a method of examination for apprentices in col- laboration with professors at the University of Toronto, President Lynch said.
