FIRST DECISIONS GIVEN
BY CUSTOMS COURT
Government Loses But One
Case Out of Five Involv-
ing Duties on Imports.

The United States Court OF Customs
Appeals. created at this session of Con-
gress, gave its first decisions yesterday.
All the cases were appeals from rulings
of the general board of appraisers or de-
cisions of the United States circuit court
Of the southern district Of New York.
The circuit court was reversed in two
cases and affirmed in three.
The court met with a full bench, Chief
Justice Robert NJ. Montgomery presiding.
James F. Smith. Orion M. Barber and
Marion De Vries. The rule of the new
courts procedure Is much the same a.
that in the Supreme Court.
Several cases disposed Of were appeals
from Chinese merchants In New York.
sun Quong On imported Chinese cabbage
from his native Canton and rolled 1t up
in salt. There is a difference In duty on
vegetables in their natural state and
vegetables preserved. Sun maintained
that he put salt on the cabbage merely to
flavor it, and that he. had no thought OF
preserving it and thereby making 1t liza
lie TO a higher rate Of duty. The circuit
court held that On had preserved his
cabbage, nevertheless. and the Court Of
Customs Appeals affirmed that decision
Not Dressed Poultry.
Kwong Yuen shing imported dried duck
flesh, sailed. preserved In peanut oil and
canned. 1t is Chinese deiicacy. He
commended 1t ought to be assessed a.
dressed poultry. The new court sampled
the canned duck, had experts do 10. and
affirmed the circuit courts decision that
it was far from being in the class OF
dressed poultry.
In another case the court was called
upon to determine the difference between
a yam and a genuine sweet potato. JUS
tic Barber in an opinion reversed the
circuit court Of the southern district OF
New York and held that yams are dutia
BILE. The court also held that when Chi
nese shoes are deliberately embroidered
they are dutiable as embroidery and no.
as common shoes.
The government lost out In one case
Decisions of the appraisers and the cir
cult court on duties upon caviar con

Advanced Faster Than Wages.
Wages have not advanced as rapidly

practically all labor difficulties which
have been the subject of mediation In the
United States during the past two or
three years have had as their basis tho
advanced cost of living
1t ID shown, however, that the advance
in wages has been more rapid In the
United States than In European countries
and that in some of the latter there mas
been no advance during the ten years
The report says:
Wages in the United States advanced
in about the same degree as did prices
until 1907. Owing to the industrial De.
preston of 1908. following the financial
considerably and in 1909 hardly more
than regained the high point reached In
1907. Wages at the present time are not
on as high level as are food prices.
Salaries have advanced put very ht'io
during the past ten years.
Hours of labor in practically all wage
occupations are shown to have been re-
duced. In 1907 wages per hour were zS.I
per cent above 1900. and the hours Oh
labor per week during the same time

Tariff "No Material Factor"
The tariff is discussed at great length
and the conclusion was reached by the
majority of the committee it had been
no material factor In causing the adj
vance In prices during the past decade
This conclusion was based upon the fact
that the greatest advance had been made
in commodities which are usually pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to furnish
large surplus to other countries. mere
are few figures available to Indicate whht
had been the effect of the recent tariH
revision.
On the subject of combinations and
associations the majority report says
there are many industrial combinations
which are not trusts in the sense or DE-
ing organized for the purpose of con-
trolling prices in restraint of trade, but
by reason of manufacturing or controil-
ing a percentage of the output they are
able to exercise some control over prices
The committee report says:
The prices of many of the trust-pro-
duced commodities have not advanced as
RAPIDLY as have other commodities In
some cases where such produced com
modities have advanced greatly the ad-
vance appears to be due largely to other
causes such as short supply. Prices have
advanced in other countries where trusts
could not have exercised the same con-
troll over production and marketing

Following Frances Example.

EO11OW1uk EIoACc GAoAAPAS'
Since the associations law was passed
in France, Spain and Austria have been
the principal strongholds OF the Roman
Catholic Church in Europe. and now the
present Spanish government Is following
the example Of the Combes ministry In
France, and Is introducing legislation
with q view to the separation of church
and state.
At a council of the Spanish ministers.
held last June 8, the premier, Senior
Canalejas, set forth the necessity of full
filling the undertakings given by the gov
eminent in regard to religion. King
Alfonso. 1t is said. acquiesced in this
view, and asked what steps were neces-
sary.
The prime minister suggested the re-
peal of all DEGREES which interpret article
XI of the Spanish constitution in the
sense of prohibiting nen-Catholics from
publicly exercising their religion. He also
suggested the repeal Of tina decree Of Oc-
tober %. 1875. forbidding meetings OF
any dissident sects.
A royal decree was issued three days
later. embodying these suggestions, and
the holy see Immediately protested. It
also insisted on coupling this pi atest with
the negotiations for the revision OF the
