MANY BILLS
ON SUBJECT
OF TARIFF
Several Are Introduced
First Day in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Several bills
relating to the tariff were introduced in
the House of Representatives to-day
The bill of Representative Spalding OF
North Dakota provides for a tariff COM
mission. The preamble of the bill re-
cites that no ordinary session of Con-
gress can fully investigate the subject
and determine what changes will best
promote the general welfare. Nine COM
missioners are TO investigate and report
to Congress recommendations as to
necessary changes in the tariff.
Representative Fordney of Michigan
also offered a tariff commission bill.
Representative Lowering of Massa-
chusetts proposed three bills. The first
provides for the allowance Of draw
back and the remission of internal rev.
enue taxes on articles consumed on
vessels clearing for foreign countries
from United States ports. The second
provides for a drawback on imported
articles on which duties have been paid
which are used in the production Of or
are joined to or form an inseparable
part of articles produced in the United
States. The third provides that where
imported materials on which duties
have been paid are used as coverings or
Wrappings of articles produced in the
United States there shall be allowed on
the expectation of such articles q draw
back equal in amount to the duties
paid on the materials used as such COW
erings.
Representative Baker of New York
introduced a resolution reciting that
the tariff is a fraud on the American
people wherever it is levied on any ar
ticle whose labor cost is less in the
United States than anywhere else. The
resolution especially mentions steel, and
resolves that this despicable fraud on
the American people be stopped by di-
recting the Secretary of the Treasury
to suspend the collection of the tariff
tax of 81 81 a ton on steel rails until
such time as the United States Steel
Corporation and others furnish conclu-
sive evidence that the amount paid by
them to their employees for producing a
ton of steel rails is greater than that
paid by English steel rail manufacture
ers."
Baker also introduced a resolution
calling on the Attorney General tc
communicate to the House his opinion
as 10 the extent to which the alleged
combination of steel manufacturing
companies to restrict the output and fix
the price of steel constitutes a viola
ton of law.
