TARIFF CHANGES OMITTED
FROM REVENUE MEASURE

Washington, April 2S-lnability Of
Democratic and Republican members
of the ways and means committee to
agree on tariff schedules probably will
result in the omission from the new
war revenue measure, now in the
making, of all proposed levies on
goods now admitted to this country
free.
A subcommittee consisting of Chair
man Kitchin and Representatives
Rainey, of Illinois, Dixon of Indiana,
F'ordney of Michigan, and Longworth
Of Ohio, conferred at length today and
it developed at length today and it de-
veloped that they were at variance on
most features of the proposed emerg-
ency tariff. Later Mr.. Kitchin de-
clared there appeared to be no chance
of tariff features being included in
the bill
Although committee members say
they have not decided definitely where
the additional revenue shall come
from in case of no tariff changes. il

Inventors Try Many New Ways

Washington, Oct. 30,--Fifty new
ways to end the war are proposed

COLD STORAGE
FOOD must Be
MARKED NOV. !
Government Food Administra-
tion Makes Special Regu-
Iations For Sale of Cold
Storage and Fresh Foods.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Special reg.
ulations for cold storage houses will
be put into force by the food admin
istration November /, when distribu.
ton of the most important foodstuffs
goes under license.
Poultry, eggs, butter and fresh or
frozen fish stored 80 days or more
cannot be sold as fresh and wifi not
be permitted to go on Sale unless
marked with y placard, cold storage
goods" All fresh meat, fresh meat
products, fresh fish, game, poultry,
eggs and butter must be marked with
the date on which they are placed in
storage and their date of release. No
warehouse will be permitted to store
any foods tainted or diseased.
To check speculation the food ad-
ministration will limit loans and ad-
vances by storage warehouse men to
their patrons. Warehouses will be
classified as public or private, and
those storing goods on their own &C
count as well as for the public will
be required to take out also dealers
licenses.
All warehouses will be required to
file schedules of their rates with the
food administration.
"The purpose of the regulations,
it was said at the food administration
today, "is to strengthen the legitimate
warehouse men by bringing the oper-
ations of all storage concerns out
into the open and preventing those
who patronize the warehouses from
.aking advantage of the opportuni-
ties, for speculation. 1t is not be-
lieved that the practices aimed at
are general, but rather that they, have
been INDUCED in only by a few men
who have abused the system"
