Meanwhile negotiations between the

hope was expressed that compromise

The arrival here yesterday of spe-

New York. Brooklyn and other cities,
coupled with the announcement that
the whole Bell organization was be-
hind the subsidiary company. was a
distinct disappointment to the girls

employees. but had not anticipated the
coming Of trained operators from 9TH

FOREIGN TREATIES
may Be VIOLATED
Federal Departments Wor-
ried Over one Provision
of New Tariff Bill.

Washington. April s.-The possible
violation Of more than score of treat
les between the United States and for
eign nations through one provision Of
the new tariff bill that proposes con-
cession in tariff on goods brought in
by Americana ships is giving con-
cern to officials Of the state and COM.
merce departments.
The section under consideration
would reduce, by five per cent, the
tariff on all foreign goods brought to
this country. ''in vessels built in the
United States, and which shall be
wholly the property of citizens there
Of" Treaties now in force with Great
Britain and with score or more other
nations. provide that the same tariff
shall be levied on the imports from
those countries, whether brought in
American ships or in the ships Of the
country from which the imports come.
The proposed discount in tariff would
encourage the commerce in American
built vessels. according to the claims
Of the makers Of the tariff bill. Should
officials Of the commerce and state de-
partments decide that 1t constitutes a
violation Of the treaties. however, the
matter will probably be laid before
the members Of the ways and means
committee. with a suggestion that
some provision be made to meet treaty
obligations. or that the disputed sec
tion be taken out of the bill.

Madison. Wis. April s.-The SUI
preme court today affirmed decision
of a lower court which granted Will
liam Ruck $4,000 damages against the

Ruck. a boil lArraker. was employed
temporarily at Gatewood. ILL.,, on a
wrecking crew. and while operating
"a punch. sustained the loss of an eye
when a piece of steel flew from tho
end of the appliance.
While the company loses on tho
award of damages. it wins in its con-
tention that it is not liable under the
federal act because the appliance
which Ruck was operating does not
come under the head of instrumen-
talities Of interstate commerce as it
was not in use for the purpose of

What Does
the Home Need
This Season?

How about the refrigerator?
Do you think 1t will serve an
other season? Old refriger-
ators are unsanitary and un-
satisfactory. A new one at the
right price would be an excel
lent investment.
What about the glassware
supply. and how about table
linens? Have you taken an in
ventory recently Of the contents
of the china cabinet and the
sideboard? What about new
rugs? Have you given any
thought to the question Of cur
tains?
This is a good time to think
of these things. The stores are
full of splendid opportunities to
"buy right"
The advertisements in THE
TIMES are always full OF val
liable suggestions. and you
don't want to overlook oppor-
tunities.
Figure out what you need in
the homo for the coming season
and then take counsel with
THE TIMES advertisers.
