Washington, April 23.-Beginning the
Democratic tariff revision bill, Rep.
Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, the
majority leader, predicted great relief
for the nation through the passage of
the pending bill Rep. Augustus p.
Gardner of Massachusetts, voiced Re-
publican skepticism for the country's
future under such a tariff system as
that proposed and Rep. M. Clyde Kelly
of Pennsylvania, expressed the epposi-
ton of the new Progressive party to
all tariff bills framed under the pres
ent system.
Underwood, outlining the bill,
severely criticized the protective tariff
theory BASED on the cost of production
differences at home and abroad, and
praised the competitive tariff theory,
declaring it would strengthen Ameri-
can industry and send American prod
ucts into the worlds markets.
He denounced the raising of taxes by
the protective tariff as unjust because,
he said, it taxed equally the working
man and the multi-millionaire. He point
ed out that the rates in the pending bill
were substantial reductions from the
rates in the existing law and declared
that the lower rates would result In a
reduction in the cost of living to the con-
Stunning public
Underwood did not discuss the income
tax feature of the bill leaving that to
Hull of Tennessee who will speak later.
Gardner admitted that the people of the
nation had repudiated the Payne tariff
and that the Republican party had been
dislodged from power because it had been
too slow to recognize growing evils and
permitted a .far too powerful oligarchy''
to run the government its way instead of
the peoples way. He cautioned the

ambassador is staying to Bucking-
ham palace, in royal carriages, with

MEMORIAL DAY
GAINS STRIKERS
No Bitterness Shown Against
Police in Parade-Bombs
Feared.
Ispccloi TO the Newark start


PATERSON, N. j.. May S0.-strik-
ers and the police forgot their diff
ferences today in celebrating Mem
orlal Day. Fully $4,000 silk workers
saw the parade, but they did not hiss
the police platoon heading the line
despite the bitterness with which the
strike has been contested.
The police had their troubles. how

the home of Frederick Weisinger. a

This is not the first bomb that has
been exploded during the strike. For
more than a month detectives have
making secret effort to discover
who makes the deadly machines. 1t
is feared that when the patience of
the $4,000 strikers finally gives out.
bomb outrages may become more
frequent.
The explosion at Weisinger's home
occurred in the middle of small
garden and broke all the windows in
the front of the house. three or four
feet away.
The neighborhood is thickly popu-
lated and the explosion caused much
excitement The police believe that
the bomb was thrown from the side
walk. Had it struck the house it was
of sufficient power to do very serious
damage. Pieces picked up by detee-
tives indicate that it was gaspipe
bomb.
The police think that the bomb
thrower made a mistake in the house
he was to blow up, as neither Weis-
niger nor any member of his family
is connected in any way with the
strike. A daughter works in a shirt
factory in the district occupied by the
silk mills. but has never been a silk
worker
Guiseppi Morano, a strike-breaker,
lives at 81 May street and the bomb
may have been meant for him. One
was placed in his former home, in
Hawthorne Borough.
The grand jury has returned an
indictment against George Sumner
Boyd, editor of the New York Call
for alleged anarchistic utterances
He is charged on two counts. one for
something he is said to have uttered
at Turn Hall and the other for an
alleged remark at a mass-meeting in
