JOBILANT OVER new SCALES
TREASURY OFFICIALS HOPE TO
STOP FALSE WEIGHING.
New Machines for Recording Sugar
Receipts to Be Set Up at
Ports of Entry.

| 1t is going to be a hard matter TO de-
fraud the government out of any money
in the work of Weighing sugar in New
| York or any of the other ports where il
1 is brought into this country in the future,
| according to high officials OF the Treasury
Department. They have now agreed TO
put into operation a new automatic scale
for the weigher to make any false rec
ordS
Twenty of the new scales which have
been received from the Sub-Target Gun
Company OF Boston are to be installed on
the sugar docks of the metropolis within
few days. Others will be placed in Bos-
ton. where much sugar is imported, while
still others will be placed on the docks
in other sugar ports of the country.
They are being placed on the various
docks by the Treasury officials with a
view to trying them out thoroughly in an
effort to find out If by any hook crook
deception can be practiced by the=Yeigh-
ers in charge Of the scales. They weigh
automatically, II is claimed AMI record
the weight Immediately on a tape of paper
which runs from the scale as the weigh
ing progresses. The scale is arranged,
1t is declared. that the weight, if it is de-
sired. could be recorded I'm another place
q long distance away from the scales as
easily as on the tape flowing from the
instruments.
Errors Recorded Promptly.
If the operator at any time undertakes
to fraudulently. or by mistake. adjust
the scales wrongly, the same is recorded
at once. and the whole transaction is set
forth on the tape, which, it is believed,
practically puts an end to the possibility
of any more frauds to be perpetrated
in weighing the sugar at the various
ports of entry.
At the present time II has been found
that the scales will have to be adjusted
about every hour, because of the fact
that the sugar being weighed gets wet
and clings to the platform of the instru-
ments. This process may keep up, il is
said. for not longer than sixty minutes
before it is necessary for the operator
to make the adjustment, which will be
recorded Immediately, and can be sum-
med up on the arrival of the inspector
In charge. and also when the records are
later tabulated in the customs offices.
To say the least, the Treasury officials
are jubilant over the work which ii is
claimed the scales will do. Aften an in
spection the officials are SO sure they
will do the work that they want to get
them installed at the different ports as
soon as possible, and it is said they fully
believe that the chances for fraud in
any way are about eliminated.

TARIFF VOTE IN
HOUSE ON FRIDAY

ALLOW FEW AMENDMENTS

Separate Votes to Be Taken on Hides,
Lumber OIL, Barley, Tea and Coffee
seheduiss-Twenty Republicans and
-Four Democrats Broke Away From
Their Party.

the house for final vote on the
Payne tarin bill. The long expected
resolution from the committee on rules
closing general debate providing for

ported and adopted. with sixteen votes
to spare. Notwithstanding the deser-
ton OF twenty Republicans Four OF
the sixteen votes came from the
Louisiana delegation. who likewise
broke away from their party. Previous
to the adoption OF the resolution there
was some severe criticism OF Il from
the Democratic side. Aside from the
interest which attached TO this pro
ceeding was the speech OF Mr.. Clark.
OF Florida. who denounced Bryan and
Organism. Populists and Populism.
and who declared that he would sup
port the Payne bill IL II contained
what his constituents wanted-a duty
on Sea Island cotton and protection
for citrus fruits. pineapples. etc. His
remarks led him into an exciting col
loquy with Mr. Randell. OF Texas. and
other Democrats. but he declared that.
having been instructed ny the legisla-
ture OF his state and his constituents
as TO the stand he should take on the
articles mentioned. he would not vio-
late his solemn obligation TO them.
His whole attitude was one OF def-
ance TO the Democrats OF the house.
Separate votes are to be allowed on
hides. lumber. oil (countervailing duty
removed and rs per cent ad valorem
substituted). barley, barley malt tea
and coffee.
Before the rule was reported there

QUESTION OF NEW WORK
Committee Will Not Take the Respon-
sibiiity OF Decision n No Conces-
sions Are Granted by the Operators
and All Workers viii Be Given a
Voice.

Wilkes Barre. Pa. April 6. - Non
union as well as union mine workers
may be given a chance to vote on the
question Of renewing for three years
the agreement which expired last
Wednesday. providing the operators
at the conference this week refuse to
make any concessions.
An official of the mine workers un-
ion said that the special committee
would not take the responsibility Of
making a decision in the event of the
operators refusing some minor conces-
sions. which will be asked. He added
that the question of a strike does not
enter into the negotiations at all. the
committee having only to act upon the
question of signing an agreement.
There is much complaint among the
mine workers. he explained. about the
prices paid for new work over which
the Cancellation board has no jurisdic-
ton. the operators fixing the wages
at any rate they like. and he explained
that as the life OF chamber of coal
is only about one year. there neces-
sarily is a great deal OF new work. He
said:
The miners want the Cancellation
board abolished. because IL has no
jurisdiction over complaints arising
from this question. and they desire
the establishment of local committees
at each colliery to adjust prices at
each colliery instead"
He also intimated that II the oper-
ators are willing TO make some fair
arrangement for fixing prices for all
new work. an arrangement that would
be fair and satisfactory TO both sides.
the mine workers committee would
probably sign the agreement for three
years more with an understanding to
this effect added. The committee. he
explained. is willing to do anything
within reason.
IL the special committee decides not
TO take the responsibility of signing
an agreement exactly similar to the
one which just expired the question
Will go before the mine workers for a
referendum vote. and the plan is to
procure the vote of all employees. ire

men or not.

pany, whose employees at the Keystone
colliery have inaugurated the only

ment was reached.

tatives OF the strikers. which. Presi-
