Washington, July 17.-President Taft

wearing off, his eoneiliatorp policy is
being gradually pushed aside, and there
are distinct signs that the Big Stick
is being furnished up, Yesterday a pow.
erful delegation of House members from
the states Of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mich.
igan, California, Kentucky, North Caro-.
lima, Virginia, West Virginia, Idaho, and
Tennessee, in all about twenty-five men,
bers, descended on the White House be-
fore the cabinet meeting TO protest
against the stand the President is TAX
ing for free raw materials They went
at Mr. Taft vigorously. The President
came back just as hard, and the result
was that the advocates Of duties on raw
materials were compelled to 60 away
without getting satisfaction.
The result Of the conference at the
White House yesterday and OF the in
sistence Of the President that mum

that there should BE- revision down

threatened. II the President forces his

On all hands il il admitted that the
tariff situation has got into a serious
and critical condition.
It cannot be said there is a present
likelihood that the President win veto
the bill, but there is not question that
he is becoming more and more disposed
to fight the farther he gets into the tar
III controversy. He is fully convinced
that he win get the corporation tax,
and he is telling his callers that he wants
reasonable revision downward.
At the White House meeting yester-
day Nh. Taft spoke his mind plainly.

together on The ground that Il would
