Proposals for Peace Made by
Operators at Interview
With Minister

PARIS, March 21.-The great strike
partment, which practically has isolat-
ed Paris and cut off France from com
munication with the outside world for
the last week, collapsed today. The
strike committee decided to call off the
employees and made the first move to
peace. The government will meet the
committee half way.
This afternoon representative of the
lineman called on Barthou, minister of
public works, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of protesting against the charges
that they had cut the wires, but they
communicated TO the minister the terms
on which the allied associations would
resume work.
CANCELLATION BY MINISTER
These terms were, first, the resigna-
tion of Simyan, under secretary of
posts and telegraph; second, that no
employees should be dismissed on ac-
count of. the strike
They also desired the assurance that
the delegates of the association here
after should be permitted to lay their
OF public works.
Barthou received the deputation in
conciliatory spirit. He said that the
government could not discuss the resig-
nation of an official except with parlia-
ment, but practically gave the delega-
tion the satisfaction they demanded on
other points.
STRIKERS RESUME WORK
Premier CIemenceau later met the
deputation and confirmed Barthou's
statement with regard TO the attitude
of the government
At the conclusion OF these private
interviews with the ministers the strike
committe met and decided upon the re-
sumption OF work tomorrow This de-
cision was announced at a mass meet
ing at which 5000 strikers were
present. Already the strikers are re-
turning TO work.
An official statement which was
issued this evening reports that more
than a third of the strikers resumed
work in Paris today.
All branches of the service, with the
aid of the military. are beginning to as
sumo something like normal condi-
tions.

Protest From PhiIippines

MANILA, March 22-Oficials of the
insular government, members of the
Philippine assembly and others in close
touch with the affairs OF the Philip
pine government are seriously con-
cerned over the loss in revenues which
will result from the establishing of
reciprocal free trade between the
islands and the United States under
the provisions of the Payne tariff bill
1t Is feared that the deficit for the
first year, due TO the decrease in Gus
tuns revenues. will approximate
100000 pesos (s2.5o0, ,000). and that ii
will increase from year to year with
the growth of American imports. II
these closer trade relations with the
United States restore the islands to
prosperity 1t will become possible later
to impose direct taxation to cover the
deficiencies. In the meantime. how :
ever, il is feared that the Philippines
will suffer seriously during the read
justment period, and that the govern
ment will be forced in all probability
to abandon many of the most impor-
tant public works Ii has recently un-
dertaken.
Governor General Smith has com
municated with Secretary of War
Dickinson declaring it his opinion that
the insular government would be seri-
ously crippled financially by the Payne
bill.
The consideration of the tariff ques-
tion is having marked effect on local
business conditions already.

PAYNE TARIFF BILL
DEFENSE PREPARED
On Some Schedules 1t Is Evil
dent That Party Lines

Democrats Will Fight Protec=
ton Unless Revenue is
Produced

WASHINGTON. March 21.-That
there will be lively contest over the
tariff bill is evidenced by the prepara-
tions that are being made by the
sponsors for the bill and by those who
oppose it.
Chairman Payne. supported by his
chief lieutenant, Representative John
Dalzell, Pennsylvania. and the other
republican members of the house ways
and means committee. together with
Representative Broussard. Louisiana,
the newly appointed democrat, will be
armed with thousands of documents
and communications for the defense of
the provisions of the Payne bill.

day field headquarters" were estab-
lished there by Payne.
Directly beneath the headquarters of
the Payne forces are the Headquarters

pied with the preparation OF the re-
port of the minority
FOR REVENUE ONLY
They will make a strong fight
against every protective duty in the
Payne bill unless it is a revenue pro-
ducer.
While the Payne and Clark forces
Will be lined up against each other on
many questions. there probably Will
be several duties on which they will
join in fighting other opposition. This
is due to the fact that Mr.. Payne is not
a high tariff man. When an amend
ment is offered to increase the duty
of 81 thousand feet provided for
lumber by the Payne bill, Mr.. Payne
and Mr. Clark will stand together in
opposition to the increased duty, and
each will find that some Of his trusted
aides have deserted him.
Little controversy is expected as to
the revision of the present tariff law
with regard to ambiguous phraseology.
ALCOHOL AND OLIVE OIL
paragraphs imposing duties on articles
which contain alcohol have been in
corporated in the bill and are expected
to increase the revenue considerably.
Much complaint was made that olive
oil, imported free of duty for manu-
featuring purposes, has been used by
foreigners of the poorer classes for
food This has resulted in a provision
that olive oil. to be admitted free OF
duty, must be rendered unfit for use as
food
Litigation involving thousands or
dollars still Is pending in courts by
the difficulty In determining under
what paragraph of the Dingley law
duty on sake, Japanese rice wine,
should be imposed. To prevent any
similar difficulties in the future rice
wine or sake is specifically included In
the paragraph of the Payne bill, i'm
posing a duty of 40 cents per gallon
on still wines. Numerous other changes
