TARIFF COMMISSION
TO BE PROVIDED
High Protection on Most Chemical Pro-
ducts Is the Program-A Compromise
Arranged with the Department of
Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - The ad-
ministration has decided to take the
tariff revision bull by the horns and
propose a bin of its own covering all
tariff changes and other propositions
which the business sentiment of the
country appears to demand and within
the next 30 days the Democratic mem
bers of the ways and means committee
will consult with President Wilson and
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld and as
result of their suggestions frame a
blanket bill, the chief features of which
will call for protective duties on dye
stutfs, an anti-dumping clause and a
tariff commission. The sugar duties
will be retained at the existing rate,
but as the free sugar clause Of the I'm
derwood tariff act would become oper-
alive May /, it will be necessary to deal
with the sugar question in a separate
bill. 1t has been decided that as GER
tain changes in tariff policy are impera-
| tive, the administration will stand a
lbetter chance of success with its pro
| posalS if it embodies them III one agreed
/ bill which shall not be subject to amend
