.INITIAI TARIFF
ACT WAS PASSED
d. 132 YEARS AGO
First Congress Assembled
Under the Constitution
Faced the Same Problem
As Will the Sixty-Seventh
tBy The Associated Press)

Washington, April MANY a
musty oddly of forgotten tariff
statutes has been turned up by a
search of the capitol archieves.
This has disclosed that the first
congress assesembled under the
constitution faced the same prob
!. lem as will the Sixty-seventh when
it meets a week hence-that of en-
acting a tariff law.
The first tariff act was passed
on July 4, 1889. It's formal title
statement of purpose-"for laying
a duty on goods, wares, and mer-
chandise imported into the United
States'-carried a bluntness which
statesmen for the next hundred
years were to avoid.
ut is necessary for the support
of the government" this first con-
gress said, "for the discharge OF
debts of the United States and for
the encouragement and protection
of manufacturers that a duty be
laid upon goods, wares and mer-
chandise imported"
First Bill Was Simple.
1t was Just 100 years, the COM
piliation shows, before such a
straightforward statement of pur-
pose about encouraging and pro-
tecting manufacturers" would be
made again in an import tax statute
though the purpose was most evil
IDENTIFY behind most of the scores
of following acts. SO simple was
the first bill that it required only
80
against more than loo for the
Pavne-Aldrich act of 1909.
Too simple, it probably was, for
year later-August 10, 1890
: congress passed IAN act making
further provision for the payment
of debts of the United states"
More deity. the purpose of the
next tariff bin as it passed on
March 2, 1892, was stated to be
"for the raising of farther sum of
money for the protection of 'front.'
iers," evading any remarks about
protection of industries. It's duties
were increases, and one duty I'M
posed was ION coal, per bush&,
four and one-half cents"
TFipoii Troubles Arose
Two years later the famous Trip
oil troubles arose and congress, on
March 26, 1894 passed IAN act to
protect the commerce and seamen
Of the United States against the
! Barbary powers" This act slapped
on. general increase of 21al and
10 per cent ad valorem duties. The
statute stated itself to be tempo
rary, for one year, but the title
proved to be too good to be wasted.
Year by year, after, clear up to
1913, congress reiterated it's lauda-
bile purpose, re-dnncsed its in
creased schedules, and announced
it was going after the Barbary pi-
rates with a continuation, of the
tariff for another twelve month,
In 1913, however, the nation
went to war with Great Britain, and
in a hasty and brief paragraph of
statute. congress announced IAN adj
ditional duty of 100 per cent on all
permanent duties to be collected
for the duration of hostilities. The
tax on imported salt, incidentally
got up to 20 cents a pound.
This was about the end of the
early tariff era, according to the
compilation. For the next forty
years, most of the acts were label

If the play had been as clever
as the actors, the result would
have been better AS it was, the
action dragged deadeningly at
times and the playing time was
disapportionately long.
A One-PaT Play
DESPITE its various melOdra-
matte appurtenances, Grumpy is
decidedly a one-part play. Both
the action and the audiences in
terest reVolve around the char
acter of the delightful old crouch
who is panied to learn that he has
hurt any ones feeling by his ill
temper. If the play at all de-
serves its label of comedy" it
is because of the lines and the
business that are assigned to the
title role.
In this dominating part Il. j..
o. Nordfeldt doomed big. In a
word, he was the Hamlet OF the
play. As he Interpreted the role,
Grumpy was testy, but not so
creakily irascible as elderly gem
tlemen with n bad digestion and
worse temper are tradittonally
portrayed. Mr.. Nordleldt's char
acterizatiOn was smooth and con-
sistent and gave due emphasis to
the loVable traits of the old man.
Clinton p. Anderson, as the
handsome dress suit villain, showed
an intelligent conception Of his
part and proper reserve in its por-
travail. His love scenes were good,
but The uneasiness of Jarvis is

that she hasn't the Camelia with
her, was too palpahle for a young
man already known to Scotland
Yard. As Brother Anderson played
the role, Jarvis too much resem-
bled a bungler caught at his first
lob"
A Charming Heroine.
Rey Ewart, as Virginia, was
charming and prepossessing, and
that is all one can expect of a
heroine with no big scene" and
no great range of emotion to reg
lister.
Robert o. Brown, as the hero,
was convincing except as TO his
British aCcent-which simply
wasn't there.
Among the minor parts, the
work of Hope Butler, as Susan,
shone most brilliantly. She was
the only member of the cast that
spoke British all the way through.
Her Characterization was further
aided by her features, which are
typically English.
The rest of the cast gave ade-
quite support. Margaret Nordfeldt

introduced in the Legislature at Albany
this year providing for the establishment

will be fought by national, State and
city officials of organized labor.
MIR. Frayne said after the conference
that he had heard that such bill is
being prepared and that organized labor
ia against II. He did not know. he said.
who was back of the bill. which is un-
oerstood to contain provisions for COM
strikes and lockouts.
Mr. Fiayne said the conference dis
approved of permit cards as q means
Of extorting big fees from worl1nen,
and that this practice should be dis
continued. Payments for permits in the
probationary period. when the appli-
cant is waiting for his union card, must
apply on his Initiation fee, il was said.
This would do away with the graft of
collecting big sums for permit cards
Further. the system must be used to
help workmen and permits must carry
the same authority as a union card, it
was ruled. If the holder shows he is
competent to qualify In his trade he
ruust be taken into the union at least
on a minimum wage and minimum SER
vice basis. II was agreed.
Mr.. Untermyer made strong objection
60 the union rule limiting the age of
apprenticeship TO eighteen years. con-
tending that 1t operated to keep out OF
the trades thousands of young men and
limited the numbers in any union to
Keep up wages. Mr.. Frayne said the
labor leaders would not yield to Inter
myers demand that the limit be raised
to twenty-five years. This is big
point, and is likely to be one of the most
troublesome.
If Mr.. Untermyer goes to the Legis-
lature with his bill compelling the
unions to incorporate he will start one
of the biggest fights this State has
witnessed in years. That strikes at the
root of the whole union question. With
such law on the books the State
would have complete control of unions
and could prescribe all rules and regu-
latons.
Present in the conference were John
Donlin, president of the Building Trades
Department of the American Fedora
ton William ]. Bohen and Walter Price
of the Bricklayers, Plasterers and Ma
sons International James p. Holland

j. Brady, of the State Allied Printing
Trades: William Bremen and Michael

union men.
The conference agreed to cooperate
with the municipal government, through
Bird S. Coler, Commissioner of Public
Welfare. in finding positions for the un-
employed. thereby eliminating fees of
private agencies
1t was made plain the American Fed
Grafton and it's allies will not try to pro-
tect any local labor leader who has
broken the law by keeping dues.
"All organized labor should not be
blamed for the default of a union man
here or there any more than the whole
church should be condemned because
one of it's members goes wrong" Mr.
Frayne said. I'VE favor correcting all
such abuses so that II will be unneces-
sary to pass laws dealing with admins

LIBRARY BUDGET CUT
AROUSES PROTESTS
City Clubs President Declares
40 Per Cent. Reduction
is Outrageous.

Several civic organizations interested
in the New York Public Library yester-
day deplored the announcement that the
1929 appropriation had been cut 40 per
cent. but It was admitted that little
relief could be afforded until next year,
when a strong protest will be made to
grant the library sufficient funds To
maintain 1t properly.
Nelson Spencer, president of the City
Club. which has always been In favoi
OF larger appropriations for the library,
said: Tho reduction is an outrageous
thing and the City Club Is entirely IN
sympathy with the efforts to have It
restored. but the budget has been passed.
and the library viii have to submit to
the injustice"
When 1t was suggested to Franklin f.
Hopper, chief Of the circulation depart
ment, that the library might apply to the
Board of Estimate for an Issue Of special
revenue bonds later in the year. In thH
event the appropriation had been used
up, Mr.. Hopper said the library always
had lived within the appropriation
granted by the city authorities and
would most likely continue to do so,
however InuCn lIle SCtNASc AihShe AA'~
to be curtailed.
In place of the s150,Oo0 which the
library requested for books the city
allowed 100000. Last year the appro-
priation was 100000. and the library
officials are faced with an ever increas
ing demand for books, the cost of which
has not decreased since last year
1--WE have not the money To buy the
standard classics nor to replace them By
new bindings, which means that the
backbone of our collection is broken.
said Mr.. Hopper yesterday.
Supreme Court Justice Kelby in Brook
lyn yesterday granted the application
of the board of directors of the Brooklyn
Public Library for a writ of mandamus
compelling Comptroller Craig to certify
and pay the salaries of the library en-
ployees for January, 1921, in accordance
with the schedules arranged by the di-
rectors. The payroll for that month
amounted to $30,o60.
The litigation arose as a result of u
friendly controversy concerning whether
the board of directors or the Comptroller
had the power to regulate the salaries
of library employees and to direct the
administrative affairs.
The Comptroller contended that the
library appropriation for the year had
to be expended in accordance with sched-
ulee made up by the Board of Estimate.

MORE GARMENT FIRMS
SETTLE WITH UNIONS
600 Workers Get Their OUn
Terms, Lustig Asserts.

Louis Lustig. president of the Cloak,
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Protec-
tive Association, said yesterday a num-
ber Of firms. members of the associa-
tion, had settled with the International
Ladies' Garment Makers Union on the
latter's terms. Mr.. Lustig estimated the
number OF workers affected at about
600. 1t was reported that eighteen firms
had acceded to the unions demand for
operation of shops under the week work
contract. Mr. Lustig charged many of
these firms with having settled under
subterfuge. and that they had re-
signed from the protective association.
Justice, the official organ of the union.
stated in its issue of this morning that
the firms which have settled comprise
a large percentage OF membership of
the association. 1t referred TO the set
tlement, which has not hitherto been
made public by the association, as IAN
open secret in the entire industry"
