PRESIDENT TAFT FOR
REVISION DOWNWARD

time his authority as titulaI head OF
his party. AS such he announces his
conviction that the party platform
meant revision downward, and that
no other Interpretation can be placed
upon it.
The president, according to the Off
cial statement, declares that in so
far as his influence went when called
upon to act in connection with legis-
lation, it would be thrown in the dj-
rection of performing the promises
of the party as he understood them;
and that if iron, ore, oil, coal and
hides did not need protection, and
conditions were such as to enable
ore producers, oil producers coal
producers and producers of hides to
compete successfully, without reduc-
ton of wages, with producers from
abroad, then they did not need the
duty and those articles should go on
the free list 1t was question OF
mind with respect to, On such evil
dence as was available to him, in or
der to carry out what he understood
to be the promises of the party to the
whole people. He said that he fell
his position as titular head of the
republican party and as president,
with the whole people as his constitu-
ency, gave him broader point OF
view than that of single member of
congress in respect to articles pro-
duced in his district. He felt strong
~ the call of the country for down
ward revision within the limitations
of he protective principle and he
hoped to be able to respond to that
call as he heard it, as we'll in the in.
terests of party as of country
In addition 10 the suggestion of a
veto, which many political observers
read into the presidents statement it
is taken also to mean that if con-
gress does not agree to what he re-
CARDS as proper revision downward
there will be a split between the
president and the legislative branch
as wide as those which marked the
experiences of Roosevelt and of
Cleveland.
Opinions differed last night as to
the effect of the statement upon the
possible date of adjournment. There
has been much talk of an agreement
by July "a This possibility seems
to have been eliminated last night
and August 1 to are the dates now
looked to. If the conferees carry
out their determination to place the
responsibility for some of the sched-
ules direct upon the president their
action may mean a prolonged debate
when the conference report comes Ut
for consideration.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 17.-The strike
situation at the Pressed Steel Car com
pany's plant in McKee's Rocks was
quiet bat ominous at midnight.
Throughout the early part of the
evening every house occupied by the
strikers and their families was
searched for firearms but the hunt
was fruitless.
With an outlook for a riotous Sun
day, following the official statement of
President Hoffstot last night that he
would neither treat with nor rein
state the striking men, the authori-
ties have laid their plans % cope with

Washington, July 17.-Any doubt as
to where President Taft stands with
regard to downward revision of the
tariff was swept away yesterday when
a statement was given out at the
white house setting forth in detail
what the president had to say to %
republican members OF congress who
called to protest against putting raw
materials on the free list.
The president in this statement de
clared that the republican party is
committed to downward revision
that he has never had any other idea
of the Chicago platform and that he
personally has promised downward
revision to the people.
This statement is interpreted in
some quarters here as direct Motif
cation to the tariff conferees that if
the measure finally agreed upon does
not const: tute material reduction in
specific duties the president will veto
it. Dictated in the third person, the
statement concludes with this final
word of the presidents attitude as
outlined to his callers:
He felt strongly the call of the
country for a downward revision with
n the limits of the protective princi-
pie, and he hoped to be able to re-
spond to that call as he heard it, as
we'll in the interests of the party as
of the country"
The presidents statement created a
decided sensation among the senators
and representatives who became ac-
quainted with its contents last night.
Mr.. Aldrich made no direct comment
upon it, but said the conferees had
decided to let Mr.. Taft deal with
schedules upon which they could not
agree, it being up to the president to
secure the votes necessary to pass
the measure in the form in which it
would be reported out of the confer
ence as a result of his mediation.
Speaker Cannon declared that the
statement contained nothing to which
any good republican could object.
Other republicans took the same
view. while Senator Bristow of Kan
sas, one of the senate progressives,
declared that it strengthens the
hands of the progressive.
The president has been careful
heretofore to let no impression gain
ground that he was debating to con-
gress. He always declared he hoped
a satisfactory bill would be framed in
accordance with the party pledges.
His reticence in the past has lent
more weight than would ordinarily be
attached to such statement as was
given out yesterday afternoon
The president asserts for the first

Washington, July 17.-Twenty-four
hours would see the end of the work
of the conferees on the tariff bill and
substantial agreement upon the
questions at issue, but for five propo-
sitions-iron ore, coal, hides, oil, lum-
ber-upon which the president stands
firm for a radical reduction or even
abolition of tariff.
Great progress was made by the
conferees yesterday. A preponderance
of the differences in nearly all the
schedules has been adjusted. In each
schedule, however, there are some few
items that have necessitated an in
vestigation in order to enable the con-
ferees to get together. A number Of
these inquiries have not been com
pleted. This is true of the lead prod
on gloves, and the wood pulp and print
paper contest.
The rates on silks and wooden goods
were determined yesterday, the sem
ate winning on both. Silks will be
advanced, while woolens remain prac-
