TO PROVIDE FOR RECIPROCITY
IN THE NEW LAWS.
Meet Foreign Countries Halt Way
In Maximum and Minimum
Rates.

Washington, Mar. 1O.-Maximum
and minimum rates Of duty are provid-
ed in the tariff bill which is to be In
troduced In the house by Chairman
Payne Of the ways and means commit.
tee, when the special session convenes'
A paragraph will be included In each
separate schedule providing for the
minimum duties on articles under that
schedule. Twenty per cent is under
stood to be the average reduction
made for the minimum duties. Some
articles will be excepted from the
provision for minimum duty and
greater or less rates Of reduction will
be placed on others.
The United States was the first
country to adopt maximum and mini
mum rates Of duty when II pro
vided for reciprocity In Its tariff law
for q few articles, such as sugar.
Germany and France, however, have
extended the reciprocity to cover
their entire tariff law and 1t is to make
the American tariff more pliable in ac-
cordance with the tariffs of foreign
countries that the maximum and
minimum provisions are incorporated.

OUR SPECIAL MARKET LETTER


Notes on this ". eks Kansas thy stock
market written for the REFLkcToR oyJ, 4
Van Worst Of the M. X. & r. ,omtnis-
sion Col
Kansas City, March t0.-We have
had light receipts OF both cattle and
hogs on the yards the past two days
and market on both has been very
active.
The demand for the good, heavy
fat cattle and all kinds of butcher
stuff is very strong and prices ruled
10 to Csc higher for the two days.
Top prce of $40 for export steers
was established today, this also be-
ing the high priced this year, while
the bulk Of them are selling above
1925. We are firm believers that
they will go still higher in the near
future, as the present receipts show
there is a great scarcity of them In
the country.
The choice, fat heifers sold today
up to $500, with the good, heavy
cows reaching $5.25, this is the best
market we have had SO far this sea-
son, but we are firm believers that
this kind has not reached the elf
max yet.

The strike in Sweden is still on.

The strike in Sweden is still on. =
This statement is made because the
workers of America, if they relied on
the daily papers, might readily be-
lieve the strike had ended weeks ago.
You don't read much about strikes
in the average daily paper-unless
they are lost to the wage earners, or
a few unfortunate strikers are shot
down by COssacks, European or Am
erican. Or a few ore boats manned
by seasick college scabe leave the
harbor. Then it's double-leaded ten
point.
And the Swedish strike is not lost,
in any particular. Instead the strik-,
ers are gaining ground daily and there
is now strong talk of all branches
of the governments employees Joining
them. .;
Army and Navy in Sympathy. :
For some time it has been an open
secret that the non-commissioned
soldiers and sailors of the country
were in sympathy with the strikers.
1t is even asserted that arms and
ammunition are already hidden away
in various depots ready, should the
army and navy revolt, to- be turned
on the aristocrats and their fellow
taskmasters, the employing capitalists.
Over 100000 men are actively strik-
ing and thousands more are idle In
sympathy If not actively on strike. :"

Swedish workers to this country has
iisau.d g. statement to- the WORKING
men in America, IN / Which che-s, Z saones
other things, he says: & 81. z ~ $S5 =
AT present the strike in Sweden
is reduced to a final life and death
struggle between the Swedish En-
ployers' association and the organized
workers-the troops trained in the i1f-
ecssant battles Of the last few years
Life or Death is Issue. ~,
."The question at issue is not wages.
not hours. 3
1T is question whether the or
or not.
"If the Swedish government en-
| ployes, the railway, telegraph, tele-
phone and postal workers had
thought it wise to go out on strike
they would have done so. AS it was

"It must be understood that the
