For the solution of what ever problem in connection with the tariff the party allowed by tradition consider there s really no need of a tariff commission board of experts Congress aided by the heads of the de- partments is better qualified to say how much money should be raised by a tariff.

Those companies which maintain pension systems in which period of ser vice is factor allow the time spent by their em- poyes in the federal service to count the same as 1T it had been spent in the service of the company
 The militiamen who have gone from the postal service have been dropped from the rolls of that service. Their places might have been filled by tenn porary substitutes. whose pay is fixed by law 70 cents an hour. The pay of most of the regular poyes Is higher. The postmaster general however Is filling these vacancies permanently with 27z cents hour. making what has been described a bluff at economy"

 NEW YORK, Aug. 17.(Wall Street. The crisis in the railway labor sltua- tion. as disclosed by President Will sons action in summoning the railway executives to Washington, was the only restraining influence in today's active and for the most part, strong market. Shares of the leading trans portation companies were variable, but not seriously affected, while other issues, with few unimportant excep- tions. were lifted to the highest levels on the current movement
 Shipping shares were again domin- ant features.
 United States Steel kept pace with Marines, advancing 1% to 92l7, or within 2@ of it's maximum of 1908. Shares of the independent industrial companies, notably Lackawanna ana Republic Steel, were strong, Republic preferred attaining a new record al 3L13%.

 Coppers infused fresh activity lnto the irregular trend of the final hour, their rise concurring with a reported advance in the metal on luther large domestic demand.
