TAFT MAY TAKE HAND
IN THE TARIFF FIGHT
MANY Politicians Believe President Will Take Vigorous
Steps to Force Certain Changes In Bill In
Direction of Lower Duties.

tated to let it be known 10 some OF the
members of Congress that TINS IS the
way he feels about It.
But II is well, understood about the
Capitol, also, that the bill is not going
to be framed in this fashion unless
President Taft gets down the big SUCK
and insists that something of this sort
must be done. 1t is insisted IN some
quarters that the President, as the lead
er of his party, in view of the COM
plants heard in Republican quarters
about the biz anG openly expressed on
the Senate floor by Republican Sena-
tors. could properly do so. In fact, talk
can be heard to the effect this is what
the President should do in the interest
of Strengthening the party's position
before the people. Mr.. Taft has given
no sign that he win take such a course.
But through members OF Congress and
otherwise he is being told that the bill
is exciting dissatisfaction in good
many Republican quarters.
Senators Outbreak.
The outbreak the other day of Sena-
tors Dolliver and Nelson, and the at
tacks by Senators ElIxins and other Re-
publican Senators, have led to some con-
lecture whether the President was not
quietly giving countenance TO opposition
20 the bill. Thus far. however. II does
not appear the President has taken any
hand in the situation further than to
express his opinion about features Of the
measure. The insurgents. however, do
not expect Mr.. Taft to oppose them.
They think that he sympathizes with
downward re yisior. even if he may not
see mt to got into the struggle in an
Netive way.
Senator Aldrici and the leaders
around him are giving calm assurances
that the bill will be put through speed
lily. They take the view 1t viii be wound
up in about a month longer. This view
is not shared by many OF the Senators.
They look 5or the debate to be dragged
out longer than Senator Aldrich is pre-
dieting.
That the leaders are growing more
confident of their ability TO beat the
income tax proposition is becoming
clear. They thfak they will be able to
meet this situation. The plan to have a
commission investigate and report at
the next regular session is having Its
effect 1t Is seemingly drawing support
from the income tax side sufficiently
TO turn the scale in favor of those who
are against an income tax. or. at least.
against II at tnis time. If the income
tax question Cen he sidetracked, this
will hasten the disposal OF the tariff
bill.

VIII President Taft get into the
tariff controversy? This is the Ques-
ton that is exciting no end Of dis
cussion about the Capitol just at pres
ent. Opinions differ as to whether
he will feel called upon to take a
vigorous hand in the struggle and
compel the framing Of a bill CT the
sort he is pretty well understood to
Sant, or whether, after exerting such
quiet pressure as he can in certain di-
rections, he will content himself with
the bill which may be evolved
Lately. the opinion is being freely
expressed in weli-infOrmed quarters
that President Taft will take more
vigorous hand in the struggle than he
had contemplated doing, This is based
on the fact that Mr.. Taft is known
TO be dissatisfied with the present bill
and that the insurgency against the
bill is becoming serious. Not few
Republican politicians are apprehen-
sive over the signs of revolt against
the bill which they discern, here and
In various parts OF the country. Much
of the cause for this apprehension is
found In Republican newspapers II
Is found that a large number of Re
publican newspapers with little regard
to section are attacking the bill Wig
o-ously. Some Of them are denounc-
ing it in bitter terms.
THIS has caused the politicians, or
many of them, to prick up their ears.
They are asking whether il is not
necessary TO do something to prevent
such sentiment as many of the Republi-
can newspapers are expressing, from
spreading among the voters end turn
ing the House over to the Democrats at
the elections next year. This question
is further asked whether It XII not be
necessary for the President himself to
take a hand and insist Ola certain
changes In the bill IN the direction of
loweC duties which will appeal to pub
lie sentiment
Presidents Ideas.
The RESIDENTS ideas as TO what
should be done about the bill are quite
clearly known. He is not DESTROYS of
revision upward. 1t is wel understood
about the Capitol that he would like
to see the reductions at the fEcuse end
and the Senate end preserved, as made
in committee. and that he would have
any increases cut to the Dinghy level
or lower. The President has not hesi-

Wages Not to Be Cut, as
Company Can Pay Divi-
dendS, Report Shows.

NEW YORK. April 2S--Business and
speculative circles are a unit today n
believing that there viii be no reduc-
ton in wages by the United States
Steel Corporation. and Wall Street gen
orally attributes 20 the giant combine
distinct victory over the opposition
inasmueh as most OF the Independents
have reduced wages, while the big COM
pany has not
pOratiOn haS disarmed criticism by many
Of those politicians who have opposed
the merger OF the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company. and placed itself in posi-
ton where il is stronger than ever with
the speculative public and Americans
generally.
On Dividend Basis.
The quarterly report as il is issued
tells its own story and indicates that
the United States Steel Corporation
common and preferred stocks probably
viii continue paying dividends Despite
the cry Of the officials Of the company
that times were bad and the sharp cut
in prices to meet the action of the in
DEPENDENTS undertaking US, as Judge
Gary put il, the earnings for the first
quarter of this year were emlnently
satisfactory to the directors
And on the very eve Of the meeting
one Dig steel company controlled BY the
trust, the Carnegie Company, calmly
puts up its prices and explains that this
action is due entirely 10 the enormous
humber of orders on our books" This
action, according to report, forecasts a
return 10 the old prices FOR steel on
many products.
Steel Rails Never Cut.
Steel rails were never cut, even nom
inally, for market purposes and the
products that we're cut were articles
that the Independents had monopolized
on the market for some time. If the
Wall Street experts are to be believed.
the United States Steel COrporatin has
cOTTalled most Of the open orders for
steel and steel products that have been
on the market Tor the last ninety DAYS
and nave enough future contracts
booked TO mean an increased business
in all mills until late in the coming fall
Most OF these orders are booked
at prices thar mean substantial profits
for the trust, according TO the belief
here.
one reason assigned for the general
optimism Of the steel manufacturehs
here Is that they have received assuT-
ances from Washington that the Senate
schedules viii be the ones finally adopt
ed IN the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
