DISCUSS TARIFF RATES
AMBASSADOR JUSSERAND AND
PRESIDENT TAFT CONFER.
Adoption of Reciprocal Rule With
France Considered, But Matter
Not Decided.

President Taft had a. conference last
ing for several hours yesterday afternoon
with Ambassador Jusserand, Secretary
Knox, Henry NJ. Hoyt, counselor for the
State Department. members Of the tarin
board. in regard to allowing France the
benefits of the minimum tariff of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Nothing definite was decided upon, al
though it is understood that much prog
ress was made toward an adjustment
that will suit both parties. The matter
probably will remain in allegiance until
the return of the President to Washing
ton.
Tariff negotiations with France are
proceeding almost continuously. The fact
that some progress is being made leads
the State Department officials to believe
that a settlement will ultimately be
reached. The last session of the tariff
experts lasted about twelve hours with
out intermission.
Schedules Carefully Considered.
The French ambassador and the tariff
officers of the United States are taking
up, one by one, the schedules of the
tariffs of the two countries, and
each is making concessions OF
more or less importance. At this time
there does not seem to be any insur-
mountabie obstacles in the way Of an
and the opinion was expressed today that
possibly by the end of the present week
the President might be in a position to
issue his proclamation granting France
the minimum rates of the Payne-Aldrich
act.
The status of the negotiations regard
ing the tariff with Canada remains un-
changed. Up to this time the Dominion
officials have declined to make special
concessions in favor of the United States
Reason Assigned.
In justification Of that position, it is
pointed out that the American tariff is
very much higher than that of Canada
and that for the United States to insist
that it is entitled to ,ae same rates as have
been given France and oher countries
would be an unwarranted challenge OF
their treaty-making rights
No one in authority here is willing to
hazard an opinion as to what the ulti-
mate outcome OF the controversy with
Canada will be, but it is known that the
Presiden: has indicated his purpose to
allow the maximum rates to go into
operation on the 31st of the present
month in case Canada persists in her
present course

press Views Plainly.
AGREEMENT HARD TO REACH
Lewis Acknowledges Gravity OF
Situation-Scale Committee Said
to Be About to Dissolve.

CINCINNATI, March 16-Only by ad-
vancing wages can the coal mine opera
tors OF the country avert a strike OF
union miners April 1. according to de-
velopments before the special convention
OF the United Mine Workers of North
America today. The session lasted only
forty-flve minutes, but in that time the
leaders Of the men intimated plainly that
workmen involved or no new wage agree
ment would be signed.
The miners are understood to be will
ing to give up their demands for Satur-
day half holidays, ''run-of-mine'' pay
ments and the lesser points raised in the
joint conference of last week.
On the advance in wages, however,
they are firm, and for a continuation OF
the present rate Of 50 cents a ton OF
screened coal the operators are equally
firm.
Agreement Seems Hopeless.
Reports were plentiful today that the
joint scale committee would give up its
apparently hopeless task of framing an
agreement between the men and opera
tors after today's session. Except for
President Lewis statement to the unions
convention today that up to the present
l1iiic Tic JOiIlt committee mas not agreed
upon any of the propositions submitted
by the miners representatives. no Off.
cial announcement has come from the
meeting rooms.
For the first time today the miners
president openly acknowledged the gray
ity Of the situation.
From a prepared statement he told thu
delegates:
while I am hopeful that we may b.
able to negotiate reasonably satisfac
tory agreement. we must be prepared fol
any emergency
we believe that our demands are suf
fciently supported by facts to warrant u:
