REDF|ELD ATTACKS
TAFT TARIFF BOARD
IN BITTER SPEECH
Declares Work Is as Incom-
plete as 1t Is Ex-
pensive.

Declaring that the tariff board has
demonstrated that tariff studies under
rush orders" are as incomplete as they
are expensive, Congressman Redheld,
Vice Presidential candidate of New
York, today scathingly denounced the
Republican tariff before a full member
ship of the House.
Mr.. Redfield, recognized as a tariff
expert, has been selected by the Demo-
cratic national committee to lay the
Democratic tariff policies before the
American people" during the fall cam
paign. Today's attack on President
Taft's tariff board marked the begin
ming Of q series Of deunciatory speeches
yet to come.
THE Democrats" said Mr.. Redfleld,
would replace protection with self
help, childhood with manhood, shackels
with freedom, and repudiate the idea OF
proceeding with tariff reforms in a
hop, skip, and jump fashion.
Has Not Sinister Design.
Our industries will never be as
strong and sturdy as they ought" Red
field asserted, It'll they become self
reliant. For such self-reliance the
Democratic party hopes, and hopes with
with the sinister design OF a foe.
Silent mills and closed doors have no
charm for US. Another epidemic or
spasm or tariff study is not needed"
With characteristic manner Redneld
continued:
What, then, Is the value Of our
Tarin Board? 1t has shown substan-
TALLY that the Democratic wool and cot.
/ ton bills were based on knowledge and
| were right and wise. 1t has developed
that tariff studies under rush orders
| are as incomplete as they are expcn-
| sive. There is room for a bureau OF
domestic and foreign commerce. which
, shall gather and digest facts relating
! to our own and foreign industries, but
! there seems no special requirement fol
a board confined to tariff study.
The Tariff Boards report" charged
| Redfeld, is incomplete, indefinite, anC
! superficial"

and trainins. and from the essentiail,
impossible nature of the task they wer,

listing In violation Of the Sherman law.
At Mercy of Trust.
1T Is generally believed that the out
come Of the beef cases in Chicago was
a miscarriage Of justice. This trust
should be dissolved, under the Sherman
law as 1t stands or under the Sherman
law by proper amendment II is a mat
ter OF general knowledge that the Beef
trust exists. The rising prices show It;
the consumer is at its mercy.
NV resolution directs the Attorney
General to conduct an inquiry into the
Beef trust, but 1t is immaterial to me
which branch of the Government in-
stitutes the probe, just SO there Is
prompt action. am sure the commit.
tee appreciates the necessity Of prompt
action, for. statistics are available for
all of us indicating that the price OF
meat has risen steadily, despite the fact
that there is no shortage Of the live
stock supply"
Congressman Edwards then offered in
evidence The Times editorial, which
bore fruit in the House Immediately
upon Its publication, and which SET
forth the directly conflicting claims ol
the beef men and the Bureau Of Sta.
tistics.
Purpose of Inquiry.
1t was learned today that Congress
man Kinkead of New Jersey also hal
information relating to Beef trus
methods, which he will lay before tn,
Judiciary Committee. Both Mr.. Kin
kead and Mr.. Edwards probably will
be heard at length by the committe,
during the progress of it's inquiry
which will ascertain the following:
Whether there exists a Beef trust
in violation OF ,the Sherman law
which has the public at it's mercy.
Whether the trust can be dissolved
under the law as now written.
Whether the Sherman law must b,
amended in order to cope with tn,
beef barons, following their initia
victory in the Chicago courts.
There Is little doubt of the answer +
the first question. The second Is opel
to judicial argument.
Renewed action by the Department o
Justice against the Beef trust Will
probably be postponed until after tn
Congressional hearings on the cost o
beef and meat inspection.
The department has been keepin

PLACING of Building Stone.

1t is, generally speaking. the rule Of
masons that stone used in building
should be so placed that it will be as
it lay in it's natural bed when quarried
This familiar rule is not, however,
always to be depended upon and in
many cases needs to be supplemented
with other precautions. There are
three planes of fracture known to
quarrymen The ''rift'' is the direction
in which stone splits most easily; the
grain that which is next easiest; the
head that which offers greatest re-
sistance. In a paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head But in quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane of the rift; hence the Inn
