PROTECT TRADE BY U. S. TARIFF,
President and House Leader Agree on
Unfair Competition Legislation.

hington..President Wilson and
Majority Leader Kitchin of the house
have agreed on general terms of anti
dumping and unfair competition legis-
lation to meet conditions after the
European war. The ways and means
committee will put them into the rev.
enue bill, which Mr.. Kitchin told the
president would be ready for the house
about April 20.
The anti-dumping legislation will be
along the general lines of that elimi-
mated from the present tariff law. On
goods to be sold In the United States
at less than the market price in the
country from which they are shipped
the new provision will impose an adj
ditional tariff to bring the selling price
in the United States up to what 1t
would be if the goods were sold at the
market price in the foreign country.
The unfair competition legislation
will be along the same lines as sec
lions of the present law applying to
unfair competition in the United
States.

places. No details are available"
