COMMITTEE: At
WORkON NEW
TARIFF LAW
WILL HOLD SESSIONS
DAILY UNTIL MARCH


Washington, Dec. 2S.-The work OF
preparing the revised tariff bin was
resumed today by the subcommittee of
the house ways and means commit
tee, Two meetings We're held today
and there is every likelihood that the
tariff framing committee, which con-
sists of the republican members of the
full committee, viii continue to hold
daily meetings until the time comes to
report the bill to congress at the spe-
cial session in March.
Judge Il. II Gary has returned the
printed copy of his testimony with
the corrections he desires to make in
the final report of the hearings. He
does not change the substance of his
testimony, but has made several COR
rections in the figures which he gave
while on the stand before the COM
mittee
The tariff trainers are giving con
sideration to the maximum and mini
mum duty problem in connection with
the new tariff Although the United
states was the first to apply this
method Of securing favorable trade
relations with other countries, it has
never applied the principle to more
than a few articles. while several for
eign countries have adopted the sys-
tenn to cover everything.
If a maximum and minimum tariff
bill becomes a law. it will be possible
for the president 10 extend the bene
fits OF the minimum tariff to those
countries which give to this country
the benefit of their differential rates
OF duty. Great Britain would secure
the benefits of our minimum rates
because it levies no duties on impor
tatiOns. Germany anu France, each
OF which has maximum and mini /
mum tariff tt6, RstlI probably pre-
fer to grant TO this country their |
of duties if the same privi- |
lege is extended To their exporters.
The United States has trade treaties
with France, Germany Italy Portu- /
gal, Spain and Switzerland. granting |
a reduction in the duties on certain /
articles only.

There IS no doubt that large por-

add to the disaster thieves were soon
setting fire at various points and
stealing everything they could lay
their hands on, even robbing the dead
and the injured. The stores were
broken into and terrorism prevailed
for a time The authorities, however.
took the most stringent
measures to maintain ORDER. and these
who were caught in acts of inceudlar-
ism and robbery were severely dealt
with.
