nual fee of S175. which helps to de-
fray the running expenses of the as

TO Be NO CONCERTED
ACTION BY MINORITY
AGAINST TARIFF BILL
Senator PenrOse Declares
There Will Be No Effort
to Argue on Amend
ment

Washington, July 16.-Senator Pen
rose said today there would be no
concerted minority action against the
democratic tariff bill and that there
would be no minority report from the
finance committee except as 1t might
take the form of criticisms by vari-
Gus individual republicans.
He Will reintroduce the wool bill
submitted in the summer session of
the last Congress-
Senator Penrose said the minority
would make no organized or concerted
effort to sargue on amendment to the
tariff bill.
The feeling is that any amendment
we may offer will be defeated" he
said. There Is neither time nor op-
portunity to go into the whole tariff
proposition. The republican party can
not get control of tho government un-
til the next presidential election and
the wise policy is to wait until that
time to take up the tariff question
afresh when new business conditions
present themselves to be dealt with
Republican senators realize that the
business of the country wants this
matter disposed of az the earliest pos
sfble date, whether the bill is good or
bad At the same time we feel 1t a
duty to debate the bill to a reasonable
extent and to make thorough tariff
record for the information of the public
and for future reference"

MAY Be Exceptions

New York. June 16.-At the joint meet
ing this afternoon no decision was
reached so far as announcement was
made, as to whether the trainmen propose
to yield TO the railroads demands that
''all questions" of dispute be submitted to
arbitration. This demand constitutes one
of the most uncertain points in contro-
versy, as the trainmen regard it with anX-
ety and may bitterly oppose granting it.
The telegram sent to President Wilson
reads in part:
The conductors and trainmen and the
conference committee of managers of
eastern railroads are Jointly desirous of
the immediate services of the board of
mediation and concliation as called for
in the Newlands amendment to the Erd-
man act, and should be glad If the com
missioner of mediation and conciliation
would advise us Immediately upon his
confirmation in order that we might take
up the matter with him."
While nothing official has developed to
indicate that the Erie may eventually
consent to become party to the arbitra-
tion. an unofficial statement by an officer
of the road declared that while the Erie S
position at present is unchanged, the
roads representatives here are waiting for
the return of President Underwood and
Vice President Stewart to New York. No
findings or awards of any arbitration
board will be recognized, it was stated,
unless Messrs. Underwood and Stewart

LOCATION WOULD BE
WITH BOARD OF CONTROL

The question of locating the plant would
in all probability be left to a board of
control, created by the act authorizing
its erection, which would likely be head
ed by the Secretary of the Navy HIM
self At least this Is the opinion of
members of Congress.
Secretary Daniels in his report to the
Senate which was in response to a reso-
luton passed by that body with refer
ence to the cost of armor plate and
manufacture. takes the position that the
government should build such plant
and that 1t would be of the greatest
economy to do so.
The cost of plant capable of turning
out 10000 tons a year, which is about
one-half of the armor plates needed for
two battleship programme, Is estimated
by the chief of the bureau of ordnance
to cost IS. $4,000. and would manufacture
the plate at 1914 per ton. This would
represent saving to the government Of
$40 ton. as the last contracts call for
S454 ton to the manufacturer. On 10000
tons the government would save 81. 10000
annually and of course of a 10000 ton
plant the saving would be double that
sum; in fact, greater, because the esti-
mate on the larger plant of cost is
lower being only 1878 ton.
