Action Taken by the Manufacturer
Convention.

Immediately after the National Manu-
facturers' convention had assembled at
Philadelphia for the afternoon session yes
terday the subject of the tariff came before
the members in the shape of the report of
the special committee appointed Tuesday.
was known that the committee had labor
ed for hours in the hope of being able to
agree upon some expression of opinion that
would voice the sentiments of all the man.
ufacturers. A long discussion followed the
presentation of the report, and il was fin
ally adopted by the convention after some
few changes had been made in the YER
biage. The report as presented was as
follows:
Resolved That it is the sense of the
National Association of Manufacturers that
the tariff law should be revised at the ear
lieSt possible moment in order that uncer-
tainty may be removed. confidence restored
and business permitted to revive.
Resolved, That iates Of duty should be
made as low as possible consistent with
adequate protection of our mdnufact turing
and agricultural industries, and the labor
they employ. The tariff should contain
only specific duties or mixed ad valorem
and specific duties.
vited to re-establish and extend the sys-
TEN of reciprocity, which may be employed
to secure for Us tariff favors in Latin
American and other markets In which we
are the largest buyers, while Europe Is the
preferred seller solely because of the lower
wage rates and lower general costs of
production in European countries"
The debate that followed hinged entirely
on the words in the second paragraph of
the resolutions las low as possible" and
| the fight for the dropping out of those
words was preciptated by Mr.. Hamilton
| of California. He felt that with these
words rem aiming the resolution would not
| have the weight with the ways and means
committee of Congress that 1t would other
| wise have. He urged that the convention
adopt Just as strong a resolution az pos
| sible. and added with the words in question
remaining, every manufacturer when he
went before the Congress committee to
| urge high tariff on certain goods
| would be told, '.Why, your association
| wants 1t Just az low possible
| Mr. Clark Of Pennsylvania. chairman of
| the special committee, urged the passage
| of the resolution as 1t stood. He spoke Of
| the hard work the committee had in franz
| ing a report that it thought would be salts
| factory for all.
| Personally" he said, ''you can't make
the tariff too high for me-"
| The question of eliminating the words
| was argued pro and con until matters were
| adjusted by the substitution OF the words
| such as shall be consistent. ETC."
| The vote on this was 20 for and 81
against. The report was further amended
| in the same paragraph by the substitu-
| ton Of the word duties" for rates af

Strongly Recommended.
Gen. Sternberg spoke at some length
upon the various recommendations en-
bodied in the report. He said that In his
opinion the plan vas a perfectly feasible
one, and had met with the approval of
business men to whom 1t had been submit
ted for an opinion. There is no class of
realty that pays better profits to the own
ers. In their investigation of the alley
conditions they had found that few ten
ants are paying less than l. per cent on
the actual value of the houses or parts of
houses they occupy. In many cases as
nigh as 70 per cent is paid. The committee,
has had plans drawn up by a local archi-
tect, which have met with the approval of
the health officer, for four-room brick tene-
n.ents, that will have water and sewer
connections, and yet will rent for less than
Is now paid for shanties that are not fit for
human occupation Such houses, the men,
bers of the committee were satisfied, could
be build for 81 600 either in alleys or in
outlying sections of the city where land Is
not held at -exorbitant prices. They could
be rented for IS or SO a month. Five per
cent Is the limit Of dividends to be paid
upon the stock, and all the profits in excess
of that are to be used in building other
sanitary tenements.
The plan seemed to strike the committee
as good one. In order to strike while the
iron is hot, Gen. Sternberg has already
drawn up call for subscriptions for the
stock. If one-half the capital stock is sub
scribed for the company will be organized
without delay. The opinion was expressed
that it would be better If the stock were
taken up in small amounts. from one to ten
shares. Copies of the subscription paper
are to be distributed among the members
of the central relief committee within a
day or two, with the expectation that they
