Women of America are banding
together to supply Joseph p. Fordney,
tariff maker, with information that
he would be wise not to throw into the
waste basket" said Mrs. James Lees
Laidlaw last night.
"If Mr.. Fordney thinks he can put
over on the women Of this country
his American valuation plan, and
thereby make the going immensely
harder for every woman Of poor or
moderate means, he is distinctly mis-
taken. Women have a hard enough
time of 1t as it is in these days of the
continued high cost of everything, and
they know there is no good reason
whatever to adopt a tariff plan that
is going to boost living costs instead
of reducing them.
after careful survey Of the whole
field women have convinced themselves
that the Fordney scheme to impose
tariffs by the American valuation of
imported articles would increase the
cost of about everything that women
buy, and that means everything used
in the household. as we'll as for women's
dress We have formed under Mrs.
Henry Moskowitz, the Consumers Com
mittee Opposed to the American Valua-
ton Plan in the Fordney tariff bill.
We have formed that committee to
awaken the women of America to
realization Of what the tariff makers
over in Washington are trying to i'm
pose upon them. We want to start a
backfire Of protest that even Mr. Ford
ney must hearken to.
This Objectionable scheme would at
once advance the cost of necessaries
i mean such things as buttons, small
articles of cutlery, needles, thread
everything. 1t would raise not only
the cost of imported articles. but It
would necessarily raise the cost Of
home made goods. Take carpet sweep
ers. invented by an American woman
and made in America. But the bristles
that go into them are imported. Up
would go their cost and therefore the
cost of the labor saving device. Farm
ers are not so much interested. per-
haps, because rabout everything they
use Is OF domestic manufacture. but
the women are in different class and
mean to make themselves heard"

Much opposition to the American

The fate of the American variation

When the attention of the House Ways
and Means Committee was called to the
estimated new retail prices as furnished
by the consumers committee they ex-
pressed the view they were somewhat
too high. Majority committee members,
when asked to comment on the published
prices of the consumers committee, de-
clared their views had been admirably
set forth by Representative Bordney,

There are two chief considerations

IRISH PEACE Is

No Steps Have Been Taken fo
Some Weeks.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Since the sus-
pension of the negotiations begun by
Father O'Flanagan there has been a
complete cessation of unofficial con-
versation for an Irish truce, and it is
not likely they will be renewed for
at least two months. During this in
terval the authorities in Ireland will
be permitted to tighten up repressive
measures and prove their belief that
Ireland can in this manner be restored
TO order and the extremists con-
founded.
The government view is that no.
body entitled TO speak for the Sim
Fem has yet come forward to dis
cuss matters with the government,
whose attitude remains unchanged.
The government declines TO discuss
peace until the claim for independence
and a republic has been withdrawn
and the republican army has surren-
dered its arms.
