TILsoN FOR
 IMPORTANT COMMITTEE WORK
(special to The Rulletin.l

(Specldl 10 The Bulletin.
 Washington, May Chairman 1. Ford ney, chairman of the ways and means committee, Saturday designated Con- gressman John Q. Tilson of Third Con necticut district to be chairman of the subcommittee on schedule M of the new tariff bill which means that Col onel Tilson will frame the report and make up the proposed ~evison. Mr. Fordney selected Colonel Tilson for this important work on acc punt of the fine record he has made as chairman of the subcommittee dealing with metals. Til son finished making up the metal sched- ule today and Is now ready t. report 1t to the full committee, and tomorTow will begin his work on schedule M which is one of great importance to New En- gland industries, especially those of Connecticut. In it is included hats both straw and fNIr; watch crystals, jewelry and precious stones; all kinds of laces, dolls, toys and other Connecti- cut specialties
 Commenting on the pending schedules Col Tilson said today "We have two kinds of protection that must be borne in mind. The protection of infant in dustries that started up after the war made it impossible for manufacturing plants to obtain necessary supplies from abroad. Such industries are not yet on their feet and if left without protec- tion would die The others that need protection are ones in which the low wage in Germany and other foreign countries, and the great need of ready money by these countries enable them to put competitive goods on our mar iIets at prices which no American es- tablishment could afford to follow, at our present wage rates Industries that are self sustaining and where foreign 1 labor at it's low wage. cannot put them out of business will not be revised down ward but will be kept as near the Payne l tariff as possible"
 The ways and means committee must provide for the raising of approximate i y s4,O0O, ,0Oo,000 yet only about sS0o,- 900 900 are now raised through custom i duties. Members of the committee be- 1 Iieve the sum raised by customs can be
 doubled over those of the Underwood law l and so so do away with some of the | most vexation and annoying taxes | Members of the committee are not giv- ing out details as to proposed rates
 but it Is understood that the meta
 schedule just completed that although the Payne law revised it downward from the Dingley law, the new bill vii 1 revise it downward still furthr. as ap plying in general to the heavy irons and heavy steels. The metal schedule
 and the sundry schedules are regarded
 as two of the most complicated ant
 difficult of the tariff bill.
