BIC TASK
Must Readjust Freight Tariffs
Says l. C. C.
Submits Annual Report to Con-
gress Today.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Readjustment
of railroad freight rates in accordance
with attending changes from effects
of the World war is the most difficult
task confronting the interstate COM
merce commission, according to its an
nual report submitted to congress to-
day.
The report covers the period from
November l, 1920, to October 81, 1921,
and reviews rate readjustments eff
fected since the sweeping increases
granted to the railroads on August rs,
1920.
Among legislative recommendations
were:
1. To provide punishment for any
person offering or giving to any rail-
road employe money with intent to
influence his action or decision with
respect to car service, and to provide
for the punishm emf of the guilty en-
ploye.
2. To require the use of steel cars
in passenger train service and to pro-
hibit the use of wooden ears between
or in front of steel cars.
8. To place the power to award
reparation wholly in the courts.

SHE is RANKED WITH MELBA
Miss Cameron, Who Sings Here To-
night. an Artist of Note

The Mad Scene from Lucia di Lam
mermoor is perhaps the supreme test
of the great coloratura voice. Melba,
Sembrich and Tettrazinni are called
the big Three flortd sopranos and
the critics who have heard all the
coforatura singers in this brilliant aria
rank Dameron's magnificent singing
of the Mad Scene with that of Media.
There is the same technical perfection,
the exquisite tones and dazzling
rhythm, the gold chain of trills, the
poignant sweetness, the fluent de-
livery.
Melba was ever somewhat indiffer-
ent to her public. Dameron with her
generous hearted Americanism loves
her audiences and esta blishes a rap
port by the warmth and color of her
voice, which reflects her own spirit
and personality. Dameron's name is
written securely in American musical
chronicles, with those of Melba, Tet-
traztnno. Sembrich, Hempei, Bar
rientps, Mabel Garrison, Patti and our
latest American, GalI-Curci.
Miss Cameron will sing this eve
ming at the auditorium for the benefit
of the American Committee for Dew
astated France.

The 51a per cent opening rate for de-

however, at gains of 1 to points. Some
of the popular oils and food issues also
improved with various secondary special
ties. Selling pressure again was most
persistent in motors, shippings and to-
baccos. Chandler Bosch Magnetic, StrOm-

Tobacco reacted 1 to 3 points. Occasional
dealings in rails were mostly at moderate
concessions. The irregular tone of the
bond list attributed to further realizing

Banking Fraternity Us.
NeU Tariff Bill

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE bank
ing fraternity is not enthusiastic
over the probable passage of the
emergency tariff bill. 1t is felt that
such legislation will result in re-
taliatory measures by foreign coun-
tries which will make an already
complicated situation worse. With
approximately $500, 100000 of
American merchandise, largely fn-
ished and semiinished manufac-
lures, tied up around the world,
bankers feel that the present is
no time for Legislation which may
result adversely to the commercial
interests of this country. 1t is un-
derstood that fairly comprehensive
plans are being worked out for
handling this situation, plans which
call for the cooperation of foreign
elements. and this cooperation, it
is felt. may not be extended il the
proposed bill is passed. The change
of front by Senator PenrOse is con-
strued as meaning that for his sup
port of the measure advocated by
the agricultural South and West, he
has obtained assurances of their
support for clauses in the perma-
nent tariff which would be of bene-
fit to the industrial East.

Senate Finance Committee Told Fordney Bill
- Needs Completion.

Heavy ,importations of manufsc-
tured woof as a result of the pro-
hibitive duties imposed upon the raw
product in the Fordney emergency
tariff bill was forecast yesterday by
Col. John p. Wood of Philadelphia,
who appeared before the Senate
COMMITTEES, on Finance. The witness
urged supplemental legislation for
duties on manufactured wool - the
same ratio to the proposed rates for
protection of the grower as have ex-
listed in previous Republican tariffs.
Col. Wood appeared as the spokes-
man of three national organizations
of the woolep industry. He repre-
sented the economic condition Of the
manufacturers as no less serious
than that of the producers. He said
the industry was menaced by de-
structive foreign competition just as
