REVISION
President Taft'S Keynote for
the Campaign
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
In the Present Law, He Believes-wants
Individual Schedules Taken Up
Again, But No Wholesale
Revision.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 24.--President
Taft's keynote for the coming campaign
became known here last night. lie win
favor further revision Of the tariff.
While he Is still convinced that the
Payne-Aldrich law is the best the coun.
try ever had, be has az last concluded
that there is room for improvement.
Mr.. Taft does not propose that bust
ness shall be upset by another whole
sale revision, but he will recommend
70 Congress that individual schedules be
taken up separately and disposed Of on
a scientific basis, the new revision 70
be based upon the findings Of the tariff
commission as to the cost Of production
at home and abroad, only fair profit
TO be allowed the American producer.
"Extortionate and unreasonable prof.
its, the president declares, are to be toll
Grated no longer
Political observers say this offers an
excellent opportunity for the insurgents
and regulars to get together.
The principal fight Of the insurgents
was upon certain schedules of the tariff
President Taft is meeting them MALI
way in attempting individual schedules
that need further revision.
At the same time, he is backing mp
the regulars in that he believes they
did the best they could with the un.
reliable information that was in taeir
hands.
The objection has been raised that
the opening Of an individual schedule
would mean the possible throwing out
of the entire tariff act, with another
long debate and 8 stirring up Of condi
tions generally. Mr.. Taft proposes to
meet this with the Recommendation to
Congress That before any schedule is
taken up for further consideration a rule
shall be passed both by the House and
by the Senate, providing that amend
ments to certain schedule OF the tariff
shall be in order, and that any amend
ments not germane to that particular
schedule shall be declared out Of order.
II is believed that there viii be little
difficulty in putting through such a
rule.

first outbreak Of the week among the
striking building laborers took place
early Monday evening, when roadmas-
ter for the Union street railway went
to the passenger station to get dozen
men who mad come from Boston to work
on track crew of the street rail
way.
pickets of the strikers saw the men
before roadmaster Shaunessey reached
the station, and the pickets were trying
to persuade the Boston men not to 60
to work for the pay they were to re-
ceive when the roadmaster arrived.
shaunessey asked the newcomers to get
their bundles ready and he would take
them to their clearinghouse.
He was rather brusque and business
like, and the strikers didn't like it. One
of the number became angry and, jump
ing out from the rest Of the crowd,
struck shaunessey and knocked him
down.
The rest Of The crowd then jumped
on the fallen roadmaster and he was
roughly handled Officer Allen arrested
the man who committed the assault,
and while he was being taken to the
police station the crowd hurled missiles
at the police and Shaunessey.
