wage scales.
The most important development
was the strike of $50 COmpositOTs,
representing three establishments,
in support OF the striking printers
and in defiance of the International
Topographic union, which with the
other international bodies has de
nOunced the strike and "Outlawed'

strike. The employers issued or
ders that their plants were to re-

can be reopened with forces com

the international union.
Under an agreement between the
employing printers and the inter
national union, the 44-hour week
is to become effective May /, 1921.
Local unions insisted that it be-

refused to arbitrate this point. al

wage demands to arbitration. The
employers, who have offered to ar

VA hin0ton P1f,edu

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-Joe O'Toole
chief of the Senate pages on the Re-
publican side, is much puffed up over
a mistake made by John Shelton Will
liams while the Controller was en-
gagged in buttonholing Senators in the
lobby to-day.
With all the formality of which he
is capable, and that is considerable
Joe was escorting Chief Justice White
into the Presidents room, just off
the Senate lobby. Mr.. Williams darted
forward, seizing Joe by the hand.
How are you, Senator Gay" he said
warmly. II am very glad to see you
AS the Controller started to draw
the supposed Senator aside for con-
ference, however. Joe pointed out that
ne was not a Senator yet (though be
ing from Delaware Joe has ambitions)
whereupon the Controller turned on
his heel and walked down the lobby in
search of other Senator'S.
The vote on Mr.. Wiliams's confrma-
ton is not expected until after the
treaty fight is concluded The change
of only one vote, it was sail by Sen
ators to-day, might result in his being
confirmed, as the present lineup will
reject him by majority of two.

Revision of Tariff
Lifelong Republican Says
High Rates of Pre-War
Days Do Not Apply to
Conditions in Industries

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 27.-Out here
IN this Gibraltar of protectionism,
Alba Is. Johnson, a lifelong Repub-
lican and Pennsylvania manufacturer.
tonight advocated downward re
vision of the tariff
Mr.. Johnson, formerly pres ident Of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, said
that high tariff was not only justified
but Indispensable before the war. but
that now Americas Fundamental world
position has been radically altered and
a new policy was needed to meet the
new status. Prior TO 1914 the United
States was debtor nation and found it
necessary to conserve her resources.
he said, but now this country is the
creditor of the whole world and cannot
continue TO do business with other
nations much longer unless we import
huge quantities of goods
Let us adjust our tariff policy" he
told the Tribune correspondent, after
making an address in the Bellevue
Strattord Hotel at banquet in honor
Great Britain, France, Italy and Bel
gium, which are now in this city, so
that American will be what England
has been for years, the great trading
nation and center OF production OF the
world
Il do not favor unqualified free
trade, but advocate action based on
careful studies of each industry The
chemical industry. which is still an IN
fant industry, requires high protec-
tive tariff and should have it, but the
steel trust is a giant industry and
needs no protection"
In his address Mr.. Johnson declared ::
Il hear from many sources the cry
for the reestablishment of protection
for American industry. Are we going
to listen to false advice? Has not the
time come when the greatest advantage
to the United States is to be found in
the greatest possible shipment of raw
materials and manufactured goods
Foreign trade in the ultimate analysis
is the exchange Of commodities"
Eugene Schneider, president Of the
French Mission, told the .eading bust
ness men of Philadelphia that recon
struction is in full swing in France.
CAT the time Of the armistice we had
l 400 miles of railroad to rebuild" he
said, "and by September we had com
pleted 1850 of this total"
He said France has filled in nearly
S0,000000 cubic yards of trenches, sent
back nearly 100000 refugees, opened
5000 schools and reorganized 1872
civic communities.

Esthonian Arn1y Chief
Predicts Difficulty in
Capture OF Petrograd

REVAL, Oct. 25.-The capture of
Peetrograd will be no easy task, in the
opinion of General Laidoner, comman-
der-in-chief of the Esthonian army.
He said to-day the Bolsheviki have
communications between Cronstadt,
Krasnaia, Gorka and Petrograd. The
railroad between Petrograd and Moscow
is uninterrupted. and the Bolsheviki
are able to transport troops from Mos

Regarding Esthonian help, he de-
clared Generals Yudenitch and Deni-
kline and Admiral Kochak do not recog-

sheviki have distributed proclamations
throughout Esthonia that they ac-
knowledge Esthonian independence.
"The Esthonians." said General LAT
doner, must cooperate with Yudenitch
who does not recognize Esthoria
against the Bolsheviki, who do. The
Esthonian army could be ordered to
fight, but such action would provoke

British warships, including four light
cruisers. are at Bjorko. short dis

is situated large British airdrome.
The vessels are protected from Bolshe-

months.
Ten thousand tons Of foodstuffs were
brought to Viborg in June by the Amer

Yudenitch, commander of the Russian

At one time it might have been pos

right TO accept mandate for most Of
the Ottoman Empire, including Euro

and Armenia. But it is considered
doubtful now whether the great Eu-
ropean powers would turn such large
part Of Turkey over to the United
States, even were the United States
TO express willingness to administer il.
The United States viii doubtless be
