If duties prescribed in the bill amount

THE bill provides for a tax on trans
fers OF property. both real and personal,
Nv inheritance or succession and by will.
1t Is believed that this provision when
III full operation will bring In n revenue
of $40 900. although no accurate esti-
icates can be made.
THE tax on cigarettes Is increased,
those Weighing over three pounds per
thousand. from SO to $3.50 and those
Weighing less from 81 to $3.50.
THE committee has examined thor

framed the language OF the various

VIEW BILL WITH ALARM.
WOrhirgmcn of the Country Are Upset
by Payne Tariff Measure.

Washington. March 1.-THE working
men OF the country employed In the iron
and steel trades view with alarm the
Payne tariff bill, according to state
ment issued here tonight by L. Lewis
vice-president and John Williams OF
PittsburF. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron Steel
and Tin Workers OF North America. The
statement Is as follows
1.-The tariff bill presents so many dras-
tic reductions In the iron and steel
schedule as to be viewed with alarm by
the workingmen employed in those in
dustries included in the iron and steel
schedule and other industries dependent
thereon especially at this time following
a long period Of depression. with humid
reds Of thousands Of American workmen
idle and actually asking for bread. The
bill rs presented literally hands them n
stone. Employees Of American tinplate
mills will strenuouslv oppose the recon-
mendation IN the bill on the drawback
feature as applied to the tin plate. as
they believe they should secure the work
now done in Wales and imported under
the provisions Of the drawback feature.
I'VE are satisfied that there will be
universal protest at against the sweep
ing reductions included in this hill hence
we request the consideration of each and
every Item. To the end that the Ameri-
can workingmen shall be protected in
his labor"
