INDUSTRY W National Assn. oifianulacturers’ Head Urges Tariii ‘Washington, Jan. 30. — Enactment at the earliest practicable moment of tariff legislation to afford American manufacturers that protection out which they ‘‘cannot weather the storm of foreign competition” and to provide an American valuation hasis for import duties was urged hy John E. Edgerton, president of the nation- al assoclation of manufacturers in an address here today at the opening of the assoclation's tariff convention. The meeting, Mr. Edgerton said, twas called for the purpose ‘giving the most effective expression to the vdeclared will of the association’s I membership” in favor of that pro- {gram, as shown in a recent referen- | dum vote. Arguing in favor of the American valuation plan, he declared the gov- ernment had the same right to fix the basis of its tariff assessments as it did the assessment rates themseclves. Asserting that the “lament” that the adoption of the plan would mean gov- ernment profit fixing, which he said, came largely from the importing in- terests, had “no foundation in reason’ the speaker continued: “In my own opinidn the genesis of the opposition to this American val- uation principal of valuation iies in the fear of the discovery by the pub- lic of the favorite abiding place of abnormal profits. Let him who shouts the doctrine that the American consumer is entitled to as low prices as those in other countries point out any instances wherein the American public has shared the advantages of cheaply imported commodities. Ar- ticles of merchandise may be pur- chased abroad at low prices and im- ported on a European valuation, but they are sold to consumers in this country on an Americah valuation and that valuation is determined by the cost of manufacturing and mar- keting the same commodities by Am- erican manufacturers. The ryoral is, that occupants of glass houses should not too often indulge their impulses to throw stones.” CHORIS ‘R BECOMES INSANE. Creates Scene During Pontifical Mass | For Pope Benedict.

The state sought in its own courts to prosecute Thomas McAuliffe, a federal enforcement officer, on the charge of having accepted bribes to influence his official conduct in cases arising under prohibition laws. The United States district court for Con- necticut caused the case to be trans- ferred to it and subsequently quashed the proceedings. A number of ma- terial witnesscs whose testimony s desired by the state are being detained in the Hartford county jail and for that reason among others, the state urged a prompt disposal of the case, Large share of the labor on Serbian farms is performed by the women.

Each day sees a large batch of troops leave Dublin and other ports Departure of the Dublin garrison is due to begin this week and the news- papers are speculating as to how the vacated barracks will be used. It is suggested they may be employed to relieve the housing shortage. WMive large barracks will be available in Dublin and it is argued that at a com- paratively small expenditure they may be converted into workmen's dwellings. Throughout Ireland, similar huild- ings are falling under control of the new Irish government and some may be needed for the new Irish army, al- though nothing has yet been decided in regard to the size of that hody. It is taken for granted that it will he established promptly and green uni- forms are being manufactured in Dublin on a large scale. People Unmoved It is noteworthy that the evacuation of the British has occurred every- where without manifestation what- ever from the people; there has been no sign either of popular rejoicing or regret. The task is now entirely com- mitted to the provisional government and the republican army has acled energetically in parts of Tipperary where the lawless element seemed about to get out of hand. Martial law was proclaimed and serious penaltics threatened for the unauthorized car. rying of arms. The army authori even imposed a rigid curtew law com - pelling everybody to remain indoors after 8 o'clock in the evening. People who bitterly resented the Britlsh cur- few law as a mark of subjugation, have welcomed the republican curfew as one imposed by their own repre- ant~tives for the protection of the public. Aithough the evacuation of British troops is to be complete it is only from southern Ireland. For the pur- poses of the treaty in this respeect, northern Ireland counts as though it were England and accordingly large bodies of troops are fulfilling the promise to evacuate simply by march- ing across the border into Ulster. The announcement by Premier Sir James Craig in Belfast that the Brit- ish government had promised him it would leave 12 battalions in northern Ireland is regarded suspiciously in Sinn Fein quarters. During the Dail Eireann's discussion of the treaty this dlsposition of troops was one of the most frequent points made by Eamon De Valeras' supporters against the signers of the pact. Michael Collins, head of the pro- visional government has given out nothing in explanation of his recent agreement with Sir James, which is welcomed on general grounds, pro- vided it does not mean more than ap- pears on surface, but the Ulster pre- mier's account of the agreement is certain to be used by the Sinn Fein party opposed to Collins in an at tempt to prove that he has assented to a wider form of partition than southern Ireland is prepared to admit. It was inevitable that Sir James should make the most of the terms in seeking to secure assent to them from the extremists in his own parlia- ment but when the executive comnnt- ruary 7 to decide between De Valera and Collins some of the Ulster pre- mier's claims are sure to be chal- lenged. No Concessions In Ulster It was all aiong ‘stated to be the root and principle of the London treaty that if Ulster stayed out she should receive none of the conces- sions won by the south. Sir James' recent speech is taken by some Sinn Feiners greatly to modify this notion and to indicate the possibility in his mind of what would really amount to two separate and equal dominions in Ireland, a result which would be dis- approved by Irish nationalist opinion generally, Some difficulty arises from the of meeting the criticisms of the extremists on each stde. The rea- sponsible ministers both in Dublin and Belfast are mainly concerned with the task of maintaining public ovder and encouraging the flow of trade. The agreement helps them in both respects and is welcomed by the majority of people as a step on the road to eventual unity of the north and south of terms acceptable and ad- vantageous to both. : WO00D ALCOHOL DEATH First to Die of That Drink Is Reported in the City of Bridgeport—Victim Found at Railroad Station.
