Washington. July agreement to
stand by the action of the tariff bill
providing for the establishment Of
a customs court, as originally report
ed, was reached today by the senate
committee on finance. The provision
has been singled out for attack in
the senate.
1t has been charged by opponents
of the new court that its personnel
has been agreed upon already. This
was denied by Senator Aldrich, chair
man of the committee. who added that
he knew President Taft would select
the best men who can be found to
fill these places. President Taft is in
sympathy with the effort to establish
new court competent to deal with
all phases Of customs litigation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Aldrich The latter
said also that the chief objection to
the establishment of the court comes
from attorneys who receive about ST.
100000 year in New York city alone,
because of court rulings inconsistent
with the ihtent Of the tariff law.
