The greatest thing about the Tariff

seen.
The greatest thing about the Tariff
board is that 1t absolutely determines
questions of dispute between politi-
ical parties in reference to tariff sche-
dulles, and simplifies the matter to
such an extent that the great national
guessing contests within the big poll
tical parties, need only to be brought
down to system of hunting out
brass tacks" through the guide fur
nished by the Tariff board-and by Il
lite persistent labor carried on in an
intelligent manner, any kind of u
tariff ranging from free trade to Il
prohibitive tariff, can be worked out.

INVESTIGATES TARIFF BOARD
Correspondent Of the Republican
Writes Entertainingly Of the New
Tariff Factory in the National Cap
ital and Says New Schedules Can
lie Easily Made.

Washington, D. c., October 81
wish it were possible for your cores
pendent to take the readers of the Re
publican ON a personally conducted
tour Of the headquarters of the Tariff
Board, in o.der that they might learn
as did your correspondent that the
universal belief that the tariff is dry
and uninteresting question-an,i
what is more important, its solution
OF a difficult problems entirely a
mistaken one, owing to the method
of work being carried on in the Tariff
board.
If this simple statement has served
to carry the reader beyond the GUS
tomary point where having discover
ed that the subject pertains to the
tariff, and he Is still willing to follow
your COZ. respondent, will endeavor
to give him something new" that
may modify his previous notions con-
corning this over-ripe subject.
The Tariff board is applying SIM
pie rules long. recognized in private
business in the. classification of in
dustries. A striking proof shown by
their work Is that while it may be
that the members of the board per-
haps are not tariff experts as has been
claimed, that their work absolutely
demonstrates that the so-called auth
critics Of congress, working with their
primitive methods, could never pos
.sibly devise an intelligent tariff sche-
dule of any kind Wool and worsted

GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE BEGUN
SATURDAY
Time for WalkOut Fixed at 10 O'Clock
Saturday Morning

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Shopmen on
Central will go on strike at 10 o'clock
tomorrow, according to a statement
by ]. w. Kline, president of the
blacksmiths' union. The strike order
was issued and the time set this
morning after conference with the
five union presidents.
The calling of the strike was pre-
cipitated by the demands of the boil
ermakers at Memphis who have been
out nearly a week in sympathy with
the clerks. According to Kline the
men at all shops, approximately 49,
900, will quit work at 10 o'clock to-
morrow without further notice.
Following is the text of the tele-
gram sent by the international officers
of the federated unions to all locals:
"All efforts have failed. Mr.. Krutt-
schmidt refuses. All crafts strike
Saturday, September 80, at 10 a. m.
Letter of instructions follows. Let
every man do his duty"
The dispute reached a climax yes
terday when julius Kruttschmidt,
vice president of the Hartman lines,
reiterated the determination of the
roads not to meet with the fedora
ton. ]. w. Kline, president Of the
International Blacksmiths' and Help
ers union, communicated this deci-
sion to other union heads and then
authorized a. statement that a strike
would be called as soon as the day
and hour could be agreed upon. Lat
or, 1t was said, three OF the union
heads had agreed to call strike Sat
urday not later than noon. tA&g ~
Together with talk of an immediate
strike came the news from New York
of the reorganization of the Hartman
lines, moving Mr.. Kruttschmidt to
New York making him a member of
tie board of directors and apparently
extending his power. ri al qw H1cvy
Mr.. Krutts hmidt, in refusing to
treat with the men, said that they had
no grievance and intimated that the
unions had sought to end harmonious
relations. ~ grGt -s7 a ~
The roads, it is said, are in good
shape to Withstand prolonged strike.
Unionists say the roads have been
employing men in all the centers of
population for months and have a
long list of men ready to take the
strikers places.
Shops in StOckades
Dispatches from California state
that most of the railroads shops are
enclosed by stockades. Positive ac-
ton of the railroads is said to be-in-
dicated by the Illinois Central's action
at Memphis, Tenn, in obtaining fed
eral Injunction restraining striking
clerks from interfering with inter
state commerce, through picketing or
other means. cl Ae n

OF farming. An entirely different
state of affairs exists in states like
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wiscon
sin, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, South
Dakota and other states where WOO
growing is recognized as only part
of the general scheme of farm life
and not constituting SEPARATE in
dustry. The results of the tariff, as
it affects the wool grower in each
state. can be anticipated when taken
in connection with the absolutely cor
rect figures COVE. ming every phase OF
the manufacture and marketing OF
WOODEN goods.
The agents of the Tariff board, be-
sides their work in the United States
have covered every country in the
world, where the wool and worsted
industry is of consequence.
The magnitude of the job seems
tremendous, but 1T has been demon
strated that with a sufficient force
Of people working along an intelli-
gent, systematic course, that the trou-
BILE can be as accurately calculated as
the annual statement of a $4,000
corporation.
The simplicity of the plan is admir-
able, and the ease with which 1t can
be comp. ehended by the average
mind, is the striking merit Of the
great work. The results are sub
ject to the application of the methods
Of the crank on a protective tariff,
the tariff for revenue only man, and
the free trader, or the simple "tariff
reformer" who wants only to equalize
the differences existing at home and
abroad. There need be no doubt in
the mind Of the individual law-maker
as to the ra.e Of tariff which will
meet his general views as to the way
in which schedules should be arrang-
ed. ''@ ''>' ~'''''' ''.''f Aa
1t would be passing strange IL the
heads of some great commercial en-
terprises should blindly attempt to
run their business without regard to
the varied conditions that entered in
to the affairs Of their concern; yet
tariffs have, since the beginning Of
the. country, been created In an en-.
tirely haphazard manner, and whe-
Their 20 per cent, rs per cent, or IS
per cent is a fai;' ratio Of guess work
on the part of congressman who han
died the wool bill in the special ses-
sion, is almost as problematical as
the number of stars in the milky way.
1t is very clear that the govern
ment proceeds with snail-like pace to
the settlement of some of its greatest
problems. And as your correspond
ent said in the outset a thorough un-
derstanding of what the Tariff board
is doing, is convincing that the whole
tariff question is merely matter of
accounting and bookkeeping, not half
as difficult as the classifications that
have been recognized In the statistics
Of the census department, and vastly
inconsequential to the tasks of the
Interstate Commerce commission,
through which road rates have been
fixed and regulated. Any FIRST class
public accountant could take the

The Elaa of Denmark,

The flag of Denmark, plain red
banner bearing on it white cross,
is the oldest flag now in existence.
For 800 years both Norway and
Sweden were united with Denmark
under this flag. In the year 1919
King Waldemar of Denmark when
leading his troops to battle against
the Lavonians saw or thought he
saw a bright light in the form of a
cross in the sky. He held this ap-
pearance to be a promise of divine
aid and pressed forward to victory.
From this time he had the cross
placed on the flag Of his country
and called it the Dannebrog, mean
ing the strength Of Denmark.
