U. S. TO KNOW WHY, IF
TARIFF CUTS WAGES
Wilson Orders Investigations,
Of Threats Made by
Manufacturers.

WAsHISGroS MAY 6-AmeriCan manu-
facturers VINO cut the wages of their
employees after the passage ot the new
tariff h.l! hv Congress will have TO
SHOW" the wilson Administration. This
became apparent to-day when Secretary
II Commerce Redfeld announced that
~ direction Of the President he had IN
srructed tho chief OF the bureau Of for
e.sn and domestic commerce 10 max. A
thorough inquiry into tho stone and
ceramic pottery industry Of the United
states and into the Industry conducted
In tho pottery districts Of England
France and Germany
The pottery people have represented
that d reduction in wages would follow
lower duties. The Wilson Admn!stra-
ton intends 10 take steps to ascertain
whether or not American manufacturers
in their talk ~ inevitable wage reduc-
lions are sincere or whether they arc
merely hlufing.
To-days announcement goes much
further than the pottery industry. 1t
obviously Is n notice to other Ameri-
can manufacturers that the Admins
tration has the means at hand for
ascertaining the facts II wage reduc-
tlons are to follow the passage Of the
tariff bill. Secretary Redfeld said:
"It is understood that the manufac-
turers OF these articles In this country
claim 10 be having some difficulty in
competing with foreign manufacturers
in our own markets and IN the foreign
markets, and this inquiry Is for the
purpose of ascertaining the reason for
this condition, with A view to its cor
rection II possible, and TO assist our
manufacturers In reducing the cost of
their output"
The inquiry will extend into pract!-
Cally every phase Of the domestic pot
terry industry. Tho principal centres
of production Of earthen china and
porcelain ware arr Trenton. n. j., and
East Liverpool, Ohio.
The investigation Is based upon ALL
thority Of a law passed by Congress a
year ago, This law states that II shall
be the duty OF the bureau to ascertain,
whenever industrial changes shall make
il essential. the cost of producing ar
ticies at the time duttable In the
United states and In leading countries
whore such articles are produced. The
law provides also that the bureau shall
show what articles are controlled by
trusts or other combinations OF capital
and what effect the trusts and combina-
tions have on production and prices
This ia a law which up to this time
has Sttracted little attention, but which
seems about 10 be put to practical
use by the Wilson Administration.
The Investigation Of the pottery in
dustry is the first one ordered under
the authority Of the new act.

of the Jockey Club made formal
statement in reply to questions yester-
day. He confirmed THE SUNS story
that the racing interests would aid the
Governor in his crusade against pro-
fcssional spectators.
Mr.. Belmont made II clear that the

pointed TO the fact that wherever the
French parimutuel system of betting
has been established the bookmakers

statement follows:

Meat prices are governed hv the

During the recent Pres !dent!al cam
paiCn there was a great hue and cry
that American beef was being sold
cheaper IN London than IN New York.
The amount Of heof exported from tho
United state To London IN year would
hardly supply tho New York market
for n day. England uses Argentine beef
and when American beef is quoted In
London they mean South American
beef Some OF this - shipped from Ar
eentina by United states packers who
have already gained toothold in
South America.
Argentine beef IS Of a poorer quality
than United States beef and does not
command the price. II Is not cornted,
and AS yet they do not raise corn in
South America to feed the cattle
When asked what, in his opinion,
caused the present high beef prices in
this country. Mr.. Mccarthy said: "It
Is entirely question OF supply and
demand. The population of this coun-
try has increased nearly 100000 in
tho last decade, and the amount of beef
raised has decreased Naturally that
situation causes higher prices,

Crime n Serious One.

THE fact that the crime of conspiracy
Ia a misdemeanor does not minimize the
seriousness of the offence. The chief
object of civil government is the admin
istration OF the law, and the offence
charged against the defendants is that
they conspired together 10 ohstruCt the
administration Of law and justice"
Justice Seabury charged with particu-
lar reference to the case Of Inspector
Thompson that person coming into a
conspiracy after It's formation Is deemed
in law to be responsible for all the acts
done by the other consprators. either
before or after his entry into the con-
spiracy.
Conspiracy" he said, implies con-
cert of design. not necessarily partiCipa-
tion In every detail OF its operation. The
fact that tho object of the conspiracy
was not accomplished. or that the cor
rupt design was frustrated. Is imma-
terial In determining that the crime Of
conspiracy has been committed"
The question of who among the wit
nesses for the State were accomplices
and who We're not was one which came
up for frequent argument in the trial
