refunding millions already collected. The
payment of some $50, 5000 into the treas.
Ury due from the income tax, however
is counted on 10 delay any such emergen-
.cy~ fer several months.
Sustains Ruling
Today's decision of the customs court
in part sustained the ruling Of the boa I'd
OF general appraisers and in part re-
versed that body.
In addition to it's finding regarding
goods from abroad, the court held that
merchandise from Cuba is entitled to a
reduction OF ~ per cent. ad valorem as
provided by the Cuban preferential trea-
~ with the United States and to the fur
ther discount CT per cent. from that
amount;
The government importers and Ameri-
can and foreign ship owners were parties
to the suit. The government held tina,
the clause applied to goods imported in
ships of favored nations as we'll as those
flying the American flag; therefore the
section must be held entirely inopera tive
unless the favored nation treaties were
abrogated. The importers were interest
ed particularly in the granting of the
rebate. Former Attorney General Nc
Reynolds held the clause imperative be-
cause Of the conflict with existing trea-
ties. and in conformity with this opinion
the rebate has never been paid in any
case, although importers accented the as
sessed duties in many cases under pro-
r7ain y,la ho
the part of American ship owners was
that the favored nations treaties were
in fact imperative.

1t was pointed out. however. during
the discussion of this subject that SO
far as the United States is concerned,
its Official representatives have no au-
thorlty to enter into any negotiations
along this line and it is well known
that private capital in the United
states is reluctant to go into shipping
enterprises without assurances that
that there will be modification of the
navigation laws and amendments to
the seamen's act passed by the last
Congress.

templated the Establishment of steam

ments interested, the bonds of which
should be governments guaranteed.

the shells, however, and only two men.

Conservatism Wanting

I'VE must Of course, concede that
many Of the leaders would be glad to
utter protests and interfere with these
illegal methods that have been pur-
sued, but there are politics within la
Dor unions and labor union conven-
tions. and the loudest and most VIC
lent extremists are too often elements
to be reckoned with in maintaining
the leadership Of such unions. The
quiet, sensible, conservative members
of the union, of whom there are
many more than we realize, do not
exercise the influence which their
numbers would often entitle them to-.
Such members manifest their opinion
in elections where. in the secrecy Of
the election booth, they vote their
real opinions and often refuse to obey
the formal declarations of political
policy made under the influence Of the
conspicuous labor leaders"
The Hatters' Case
Professor Taft cited the recent action
of the United Hatters of North America
on the question of paying the S2oo,00l
fine found against its members in the
Danhury matters case.

American Federation of Labor" he said,

ing, although they could and did raise
funds quite as large for the defence OF
criminals who subsequently confessed
their crimes committed in the supposed
unfolding Of the interests of labor Such
a condition cannot but have useful in
fuence in bringing to the attention OF the
rank and file of organized labor the ne
cessity for restraining their leaders IN
such unv,ise defiance of law
Recent Legislation
Nj Taft said his objections to the
CLAYTON act and the trade commission
act were that their enactment with such
a blare of trumpets and avowals OF hos

discrimination, had a strong tendency &c
