A HARD FIGHT
TO SECURE MODERATION OF TAR

SEES GREAT DISASTER
Says Present Law Will precipitate

Washington, Nov 27.--Congressman
Mann, who was chairman of the spec

prepared the tariff provisions on these
items, as first reported to the house
but whose recommendations were
overruled on the final passage of the
tariff law, believes the country may
we'll be alarmed al the danger OF a
tariff war with Canada, growing out
Of the tariff on wood pulp and print
paper under the Payne act.
Mann at the beginning of the forth
coming session of congress will intro
duce several bills and resolutions re-
lating to this subject One of his
measures is. a joint resolution to post
pone the application of the maximum
tariff from April !, next, to the fol-
lowing Jancary. Another provides
that the maximum tariff will be held
not to apply to wood pulp and prin,-
ing paper imported from Canada,
Mann will Introduce a bill providing
for the free admission of wood pulp
printing paper from Canada, being q
Canada product, on condition that
Canada, or the province whereing the
wood pulp or paper is manufactured,
shall not forbid, restrict or impose
any export duty or license upon print
ing paper, mechanically ground wood
pulp or wood used in the manufacture
of wood pulp.
Mann may fight to have his meas.
ures referred to the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, where.
OF he is chairman, instead of the ways
and means COMMITTEES l~
Mann says that under the rules, If
the ways and means committee de-
clines to report upon the propositions
he can move TO refer them to his com
mittee In the last congress when the
ways and means committee in en-
to smother Mann's bill pre-
venting the importation of smokeing
opium. he sent notice to every rep
resentative that he would move to
take the bill from the ways and means
committee and refer it to a friendly
committee. The result was a dispute
in the house betwees Mann and
Chairman Payne of the committee, but
Payne was compelled to report the
opium bin favorably and it was en-
acted
Mann says unless some legislation
such as he proposed is adopted or a
reciprocal treaty with Canada agreed
to, Canada, smarting under the injus-
tice OF the Payne law, will likely for
bid the expectation Of pulp wood from
Canada to the United States, and
thereby close a number of American
newspaper mills and increase the cost
Of print paper to a point resulting in
tremendous injury to newspapers, and
book publishers, including especially
school books.
