ITALIANS AND POLES IN FIGHT.
One Man Shot and Another Cut in the
Encc.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May GA fight be-
tween Italian and Polish laborers occurred
on the Central docks today during which
Louis Semlok, Pole, was shot in the back
and Castigalia Calejero was cut in the
face. Frank Sorie has been arrested and
will be charged with the shooting. Gala
1ero' Frank Sherri and Frank Pedro are
also under arrest. A witness claims to have
seen Sherri fire several shots. The trouble
was precipitated by the Poles calling the
Italians 'scabs."
After order had been restored 100 Poles
marched from the docks, declining to work
with the non union Italians. The latter
were discharged and the Poles returned to
work. Contractor Corners said later that
he would disc barge every non-union man
today. Semlok's injuries are not serious

CONSIDERING RETALIATION
Canada Prohibits Export of Logs From
Ontario.
Treasury Officials Think of Forbid
the Dominion Into United States.

The Department Of State has referred to
the Treasury Department rhe arrangement
of plan to protect the interests of the
United States against the new Canadian
measure prohibiting the expectation of logs
from the province of Ontario. Secretary
Gage now has the subject under considera
ton, and a decision at his hands is ex-
rected very soon
This action is one of the results of the
failure of the joint Canadian commission to
reach an agreement upon the whole range
of subjects submitted to it. The commits
sion had little difficulty in finding a mu-
tually satisfactory plan fer the adjustment
of this particular lumber and log issue
but, unfortunately. the arrang .ment failed
OF consummation, owing to the irsistence
OF the Canadians upon the proposition that
there must be agreement upon all Of the
topics or uDOn none.
The Treasury Department has now two
courses open, both being, after all, purely
retaliatory. The first is the preparation of
an amendment to the Tariff act largely in
cTedSing the duties on lumber and forest
products imported into the United States
from Canada. This will require congress
s,Onal action, for, while the Dingley act
authorized the remission of duties on lum-
Der as an equivalent for reductions of du-
ties on United States products it cid not
provide any means for directly increasing
duties at the Will of the Treasury or State
Department.
There is possibly another course, and this
possibility il being thoroughly exploited by
Secretary Gage. A section of the DingIey
act authorizes the United States govern
ment. i'll cases where countries impose an
export duty, to add the equivalent OF such
export duty TO the import such goods
coming TO the United States. Now. while
the Canadian government is not imposing,
In so many words. an export duty ON logs
1t has prohibited their expUrtation tae
purpose being to drive the American saw
mills across the line into Canada
Prohibiting Importation.
The question before Secretary Gage is
whether this prohibition may not be regard
ed as in principle the same thing as an ex-
cessive. and, therefore, prohibitive export
tax. If this view is sound then the treas
ury has already at hand the measure of
retaliation it seeks in the shape of an order
prohib. ling the importation of Canadian
logs into the United States. which would
bear very heavily upon other provinces in
Canada outside of Ontario
although not officially admitted here
there is little doubt that our government is
being inclined to these retaliatory c0nsid-
erations by the discouraging results of the
negotiations in London looking To the clear
ing of the field for the reassembing of the
Joint Canadian commission. 1t is gathered
that the British foreign office, which had
seemed inclined to meet Mr.. Choa te'S adj
TanceS in the spirit of compromise that
promised well. has been again influenced by
Canadian opposition to anything less than
concession of all their demands which
has stopped all progress.
