TARIFF WAR
 WITH CANADA
 GROWS BITTER
Especial from United Press.) )


 Washington. March 15.-The possi- bility of a bitter tariff war between Canada and the United States grew to alarming proportions at today's regu- lar cabinet meeting.
 President Taft laid before the cab inet the critical situation which con- fronts the two countries in the nego- tiations now on to decide whether the maximum provision of the Payne tar if law shall be applied to Canada af- ter March 31. No conclusion was reached and the matter was left in the hands of President Taft who. with Senator Aldrich and the Tariff board. is conducting the United States end of the negotiations.
 A nun, Der of conferences on the sub- ject have satisfied the President that under present conditions Canada is discrinninating against American ex- porters and that she must grant some concessions if she would avoid the inn rosition of the 25 per cent. ad valorem duty.
 Tine impression is gaining ground that Cana6a is not over anxious to avoid tariff war which would be dis astrous to American exporters to Can ada but which would be of great as sistance to Canadian manufacturers in their home market where they must now cor,onete with American goods.
 The French tariff proposition was also considered at today's reeting. and it is believed that associations will straig gften out the situation there and that a sa tisfactorv- agreement will he reached before the expiration of the time limit.

A builder said: we shall grant it and proba bly, be thankful that the carpenters did not ask for more. We shall now pass it on to the man who wants the work done and he will have to decide whether he can afford to build or not. The carpenters of the city are we'll organized and the builders are not and are in no con- dition to force a strike We shall simply pay the increase if there is any work for us to do."
