CLYDE Webster introduced Congress
man DENLY as the presiding genius OF
the speeches and speakers TO follow.
Brief talks were given by all OF the
above named gentlemen and then
came Congressman James II. Gaines,
AZ West Virginia. who was present
as the personal representative OF
President Taft. In addressing the
crowd. Congressman Gaines said In
part:
"All over the country the slogan OF
the Republican party is this sentence.
Taft is making good The Repub-
lican party promised to carry cut the
policies OF Theodore Roosevelt and to
revise the tariff That promise has
been kept. No president of the United
states ever eQualed in the short
length OF time the variety or achieve
ments which Taft has accomplished
I'm the lC months of his administra-
ton. The policies of Theodore Roose-
Welt written into the Republican plat
form. recommended in the messages
OF President Taft, have now by Re-
publican congress been enacted Into
law.
Two charges have been made
against the tariff bill. First, that 1t
was not such a downward revision as
the platform contemplated. and, sec
pnd. that Il has caused high prices to
ultimate consumers of the country.
II is we'll TO recall the Republican
platform and conditions which con-
fronted us. The platform required
that we should readjust the tariff up
on the basis of difference IN the cost
of production here and abroad. Moth
ing was said In direct terms of a
downward revision, but Il was re-
quired of US to so nicely adjust the
schedules as to give protection to
those articles which We are adapted
10 produce in this country In suftlci-
ent quantities to supply our own de-
.mands, and so nicely to adjust the
schedules, however, that there should
be no excess above what was needed
for protection, calculated upon that
basis. The most important condition
that confronted us was that We were
required at the same time TO raise
more revenues for the growing needs
OF the greatest country on earth.
I'VE reduced the tariff on the neces-
stiles OF life; we increased the tariff
on articles of voluntary use and lux
ury. We cut the tariff in two on steel
rails: we decreased pig iron from 81
to $3.50; scrap iron, so important an

| DEAD, 3 FATALLY
INJURED IN RIOT
Strikers and Sympathizers Precipi-
tate Fight With Strikebreakcrs
and Police at Sugar Refinery.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-One uniden-
tilted man was instantly killed. three
fatally shot, one seriously shot, and
more than score beaten In q riot
on the pier of the American Sngar
Refining Co., Brooklyn, today.
More than 10000 persons gathered
in the vicinity and police reserves
from all sections of the city were
rushed to the spot TO prevent further
outbreaks.
All the injured men are strikers,
and II Is said that-the fatal shots
were fired by hfty armed special
policemen who were detailed to guard
sixty strike-breaking drivers sent to
the stocks today.
More than a score of shots were
fired during the rioting, which We
participated In by 500 strikers arr.
their sympathizers, and the fifty spe-
cial officers and sixty strike breakers.
The dead man was later Identified
as Wallal Novolosky.
H. A. Morgan, cashier OF the Ameri-
can Sugar Refinerys plant, was ar
rested In connection with the killing
Of Novofosky. The complainants were
Louis Ludosky, and Adam Bodeseky,
strikers, and both were placed under
arrest az material witnesses. They
told the police they saw Morgan fire
from q platform Of the loading trucks
directly ssf0Ss the street and saw
Novolosky drop.
Morgan. against whom no formal
charge was placed, denied that he
killed Novolosky. He admitted that
he had fired his revolver, but said
1t was a single shot, and that from
where he was standing 1t would have
been impossible for him to have hit
Novolosky.
