WASHINGTON Oct. 24.-Two
weeks ago Republican leaders in the
senate were of the opinion that a tar
iff bill would be passed by the senate
before the first of next year. The
same opinion is not being expressed
today 1t is doubtful if a new tariff
law will have been enacted much be-
fore the first of next March.
The principal snag the tariff bill has
struck in the senate is the so-called
American valuation plan. This plan
is included in the bill which the house
passed last summer. AS a rule the
manufacturing interests of the country
favor it. American importers, on the
other hand, have been conducting a
vigorous Tight against 1t since the
tariff went to the senate.
Considerable confusion appears to
exist in the public mind as to what is
meant by the American valuation
plan. The senate finance committee
is undecided as to whether it is prac'
tical and at considerable cost treasury
experts have been making thorough
investigation of the question and their
report will be submitted to the fl
nance committee. Just when is prob
lematical.

PREMIER IS IMPATIENT
(By Associated Press

LONDON, Oct 24-Premier Lloyd
George, answering a question in the
house of commons today regarding
Eamonn De Valera's message to Pope
Benedict, said the publication of De
Valera's message, especially in the
middle of the peace negotiations, con-
stituted a grave challenge.
"The position of the government on
the question involved in that telegram,
has been made abundantly clear" the
premier continued. 1--WE do not pro-
pose to recede from it and the con-
ference cannot proceed on any other
basis"
Sir Thomas Sennett asked whether
the Sim Fein colors were not dis
played over the door of the house oc-
cupied by the Sim Fein delegation,
and whether this was not a great
provocation to the people in that
district.
Mr.. Lloyd George replied that he
had been assured the colors were not
displayed, but if they were, he quite
agreed with Sir Thomas's observation.
Mr.. Lloyd George then added: 81
cannot imagine why all the follies are
being perpetrated at time when
there is real desire to negotiate for
peace. 1t seems as if some people are
doing their very best to make this
impossible"
Continue Conferences.
The conference between members of
the British cabinet and representatives
of the Dali Eirean was resumed here
today, but there was evident a feeling
that the situation was such as to give
ground for concern among those hope.

troyersy.
| Michael Collins, minister of finance

went to Dublin on Saturday, returned

! Prime Minister Lloyd George had laid
| before the Irish delegates certain
! questions affecting Irish allegiance t
| the British crown, and there was a be

/ colleagues.
| 1t was supposed he brought a com
munication from canon DeValera anC
it was felt that upon this answer anC
the attitude taken by the Dali EireanI
delegates would depend the continu
ance of the negotiations.
Everywhere except in irreconcilablt
quarters, hope that the conferenct
would continue was expressed thi
morning, and it was argued that, will
good will on each side, a way out o
the difficulty created by Mr. De
Valera's message to Pope Benedic
could be found.
At the same time it was contendet
that if the Sim Fein representative
indorsed their leaders words it wa
hardly possible to see how a ruptur
of the conference was avoidable.

Especial to The Palladium,


CHICAGO, Oct. 24-The four big
brotherhoods and the switchmen's un-
ion have reiterated their warning to
the United States Raildoad labor
board that only a satisfactory set
dement, can prevent the railroad
strike called for next Sunday morn
ing, it was learned today.
The president of the five unions,
replying to the boards citation tp
appear here Wednesday sent joint
message he-aserting the stand they
took at their conference with the
board last week. when they insisted
they had no power to suspend or call
off a strike unless a settlement in
| accordance with their plan was reach
| ed.
THE only power in our hands" the
union executives telegraphed "is to
/ advise our men that satisfactory
settlement has been reached
/ Leaders Called On
] If the strike is called, however, there
were indications today that the strill-
ers may find themselves without any
directing leaders, as the board has
summoned the 1400 general chairmans
of the five unions to come to Chicago
with their general officers, a prolong-
ed hearing will leave the locals with
out leaders.
The railroad labor board announced
today that it had reason to hope that
the railroad strike set for Oct 80
would be averted. In formal an
nouncement the board warned the
public to refrain from loose talk and
provocative language about either side
of the controversy.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 24.-It was
learned here today that the Big Five"
railroad brotherhoods in reply to the
railroad labor boards cistation to ap-
pear in Chicago Wednesday, had re
piled in a message that the only power
in their hands was to advise their
members that a satisfactory settle
ment had been reached. The Big Five
chiefs after a two-hour conference be
hind guarded doors, announced that
the situation is unchanged.
Before the Chicago meeting they are
not expected to add to or elaborate
their statement of yesterday in which
.. they placed responsibility for the pro
posed strike on the labor board and
the carriers.

Sm0keC Candle
VdpOrDeadLy

ONE Of the many ingenious c%ontriv-
- ances developed during the recent
war was the "smokc candle" Such
candles were little cylindrical boxes con-
tanning smoke producing chemicals,
which could be ignitcd at a moments
notice by a sort of friction device. They
were used to conceal the movements
Of small groups of men. When touched
of they were simply placed on the
ground, to make a smoke screen.
The Americans thought it would be a
good idea to use smoke candles that
would give off a poisonous smoke. These
improved candles did not como into use
during the war, but since then the
chemists of our Var Department have
perfected them. The poison stuff used
is a coal-tar product which. a solid
at ordinary temperatures, "vaporizes in
the heat Of the burning candle. The
vapor will penetrate most gas masks.
The military authorities think that such
poison smokes will find very extensive
use in future warfare.
The smoke of a smoke candle is
usually white. To be effective for con-
cealmcnt. it must, of course be as
opaque as possible; and it must also be
heavy, so as to be not easily blown
away by a light breeze. Candles that
produce a smoke Of zinc chloride meet
these requirements admirably. but the
addition of ''diphenylchlorarsine'' makes
them poisonous as we'll. /.
