mitted. however, that. upon the sugges-
ton Of Mulhsll. ne had agreed that Wat

should be paid $3.50 week for his work
TO bring about the appointment OF a tariff
commission. lie denied that any promise
had been made to pay Watson n bonus OF
$4,000 II the commission were estab-
lshed.
Miles's attitude was that there should
be downward revision OF the tariff. and
he testified To having threatened Repre-
sentatives Cannon. Dalzell. Payne and
others with defeat because Of their oppo-
stion to tariff reduction. He said that
he had addressed Inquiries to the mem
bers Of the National Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION and estimated that s. per cent

1t was considered significant, however,
that Daniel G. Reid and George w
Whelan, head Of the United Cigar Stores

the Navy believes he has broken the

been furnishing steel to the navy at what
Mr. Daniels believes 10 have been eX-

about partly by his recommendation TO
Congress that the government build an
armor plate plant and rarity through the
establishment OF competition by the
entry into the field of the Carbon Steel
Company, OF Pittsburgh.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
used TO have all the navy's steel bust

Germ began 10 make armOr plate and en-
