WILSON FIGHTS
TAFIFF CHANGE
Motive Seen In Refusal to
Obey Congress In Mod-
Tying Treaties.
ONE PRECEDENT CITED
Former President Hayes
Merely Exercised Veto In
Similar Situation.
ONE PRECEDENT CITED
CPblIc Ledger seryicc.)

The determination OF the Pres
ident to prevent Congress from
bringing about reforms in tarir
legislation during his administra-
ton Is the outstanding issue behind
his refusal to obey Congress in mod
flying treaties in conflict with the
act. according to critics of his act
in and out OF Congress, who be-
lisye the Presidents action to be
Illegal and merely an effort on his
part to postpone the Inevitable.
The only analogy that either Will
son or the State Department has
drawn is the action of President
Hayes in refusing to modify GER
tain sections of a treaty with China.
This was done, even administration
otfcials acknowledge, in a message
returning the bill to Congress with
a Presidential veto. Republicans do
not question the right of the Pres
ident to veto legislation, but de-
clare that II is not within his prov
ince to choose the course that he
shall take after he has signed a
measure.
No Qualms Suffered.
Precedents. more precise in ma
turs, exist, his critics say, for the
President to do just he has been
ordered to do. As was pointed out
by the committee of American ship
owners this morning. the admins
tration suffered no qualms of con-
science in modifying treaties that
came in conflict with the LaFol-
lette seamen's act, and there has
been nothing heard by this gov
ernment as the result of this &C
tion.
The impression which State De-
psrtment officials have sought 10
create in this case is that the United
States would be overwhelmed by re-
taliatory measures if the President
should seek t9 carry out the man
date Of Congress.
sObjects Twofold.
The objects which the Republican
Congress sought to carry out in
the Jones bill through the inclu-
sion Of Section 81. which deals with
the modification of conflicting
treaties, was twofold:
First: To vitalize that section OF
the Underwood tariff bill calling for
an ad yalorem tax of 10 per cent
on all goods. wares and merchan-
disc, whether on the free list or
not. that were carried to this coun-
try in other than American bot
torna
Second. Support for the new
nsdged merchant marine that would
enable il to continue in healthy
competition with its foreign rivals
already we'll established in business.
1t was the contention of the Dem
ocrats at the time of the passage
Of the Underwood tariff act, Oc-
tober 3. 1913, that the section re-
ferred to above was designed to fos-
ter the American merchant marine.
II IL had consisted of 10 per cent
tax on products imported in other
than American bottoms it would
have been, but the language OF the
section went on to say that it was
not to apply in cases where exeist-
ing treaties prevented the granting
of discriminatory rates.

LEGION SESSION
!. TO Be SPIRITED
Flag That Was Fired on at
Centralia to Be Seen in
Ohio Parade.
Public Ledger Service.)

" StosNf cSsNtNNsf
Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 2s.-on the
eve of the second national conven-
tion OF the American Legion there
is every evidence that the meeting
Will be of even more import and far
more spirited than the enthusiastic
first convention in Minneapolis last
November, when the legion was
permanently organized.
More than 10000 legionnaires
have occupied Cleveland, where the
stage is all set for the convention
to be opened tomorrow morning by
National Commander Franklin
D'Olier, of Philadelphia.
Politics and labor seem to be the
two issues uppermost in the minds
Of the delegates, and more than
likely will call forth the biggest
discussions on the convention floor.
The delegations from Oklahoma and
Georgia are small compared to
those from other States, but they
are making themselves heard and
are gathering something of fol-
lowing for their proposed plan to
have the legion's constitution so re-
vized that it will permit campaign
ing.
Loyal to Slogan.
Commander D'Olier, however, and
virtually all the leaders in the or
ganization are convinced that 1t
would be a fatal move for the le-
gion to sidestep its slogan of poll
cies. not politics"
Sentiment is growing strong in
l. ~ q
attitude OF strict neutrality in re-
gard to labor disputes. From Wash
ington and other of the far Western
States are many delegates who open
ly are in favor of legionnaires acting
both as strikebreakers and protec-
tors of the public in emergencies
where hardship is involved and lives
and property endangered.
Famous Flag in Parade.
In support of that stand Thomas
\. Swale, State commander in Wash
ington, will carry in the parade to-
morrow the American flag that was
fired upon by radicals in Centralia.
At his side will march one of the
legionnaires who was among those
wounded in the volley fired from
ambush upon the veterans parade.
In pursuance of its highest ideal,
Americanism. a move will be made
by the legion to organize the mill
lions of youngsters of the land,
whether they be rich, poor, natives
or foreign born, in an organization
known as the Junior American
League. Arthur Wood, of New York.
chairman of the legion's national
Americanism commission has in
dorsed the move, and there is no
doubt that the convention will vote
to have the legion give its sanction
and financial support
