DUTY ON OIL DEFEATED;

Washington, July 1s.--President

House yesterday. BY vote of 1s6 to
So the House reversed the action of
the Ways and Means Committee and
put oil back on the free list. The
Tariff bill now being considered i'm
posed a duty of 25 and 80 cents a
barrel on petroleum. and crude oil.
While this is victory for the
President, who on June 80 wrote to
Chairman Fordney a strong protest
against the placing of a duty on oil
imports, the members from the oil
districts did not give in without a
bitter struggle.
Members of the House won a de-
cisivo victory also in their effort to
have put cotton on the dutiable list
when the Committee of the Whole
voted TO put a duty of Is per cent ad
Nalorem on long staple cotton.
In addition TO the strenuous debate
engaged in for the past week, which
FOR the most part has ragged round
the question of oil, the members bat
tied for three and half hours yester-
day. The end came a few minutes
after 3 o'clock when, by teller's vote,

i, 1t was admitted yesterday by Chair

from the President, which, however
he declined to read.

amend, one proposed 81 duty of 20

crude oil. and the other 80 cents II

on petroleum.
In opening the debate yesterday
Chairman Fordney read the letter
written him by the President on June
80, in order to sustain his denial of
the authenticity of the alleged letter
published last week. The letter read
by Mr.. Fordney. however, differed
from that published only to the ex-
tent that one clause, which contained
a proposed bargain feature, was omit
ted. The Presidents letter, as read
TO the House today, follows:

take note of the foreign policy &c
which we are already committed, un-
der which the Government is doing
every consistent thing to encourage
the participation of American citizens
in the development of the oil re-
sources in many foreign islands. This
course has been inspired by the grow

supply of crude oil to which we may
turn for our future needs, not alone
for our domestic commerce but In
meeting the needs of our Navy and
our merchant marine.

UNION LABOR AND THE OPEN
SHOP

The country is about to witness
a tremendous struggle between EN-
ployers and labor organizations over
the open shop question.
The people on the side lines who
take no part in the struggle are not
particularly interested in the abstract
question as to whether labor unions
can prevent the employment of
workman who is not a member of the
union, but they are vitality interested
in some solution of the matter which
will bring an efficient, economical ad-
ministration of the big Industries
which are necessary to the prosperity
and comfort of the people as whole.
The era of high prices and enor-
nous demands for products of all
kinds offered an opportunity for ex-
cessive demands by labor bodies
ghiqh vas ,seld9@e eeSoRfRfatPPtifnse RefRfatPtney, but but
on the contrary, higher wages was
followed in many instances by de-
creased production.
The demands by labor, when the
utmost in production was required by
the needs of the nation was too often
followed by shorter working day.
and conditions which made the costs
of manufactured products abnormal
ly high.
Not all of the high prices of the
past two years are attributed to labor,
as themanufacturer was not averse
to demanding an excessive profit over
the actual cost of production, but the
labor cost was no small factor in the
high cost OF living.
AS the demand for labor has fallen
on consequent to the general bust.
ness depression. there is no question
that many employers will attempt to
lessen the power and influnce Of the
labor bodies to which attempt there
will be determined resistance.
Labor unions are necessary to pro-
tect the interests Of the workers. but
when they attempt to use their power
in an arbitrary and oppressive man.
ner they open the way for public dis.
approval which will aid their oppon.
ents to destroy them.
Fair wages In proportion to the
skill and efficiency Of the worker.
with decent working conditions, and
an eight hour day, for six days in the
week are demands which are reason.
able and will receive the approval
OF the public.
But there will be no hope In
the future for the success of demands
which attempt to dictate conditions
which are unfair to the employer and
the consumer.

which the royal visitor attacked with
gusto and ate until the abbot bllnked
In wonder.
I'D give q hundred pounds" he
cried, "couid I eat like that instead
of nibbling at chicken wing. Ny

The king departed without Identl.

very next day the abbot was taken
10 the Tower and locked In n cell with
naught but bit Of bread and water.
Several dnys passed. and then the
guards appeared with the informa.
tlon that the abbot WAS to he freed,
and he was conducted to room where
roast beef was sitting On n table.
He was almost starved from his long
dieting and he swallowed the last bit
Of the smoking roast. Out jumped
Henry from behind curtain. "Ah

and now down with my hundred
pounds or back you go TO the Tower"
The money was paid and the abbot
