FORDNEY'S s TARIFF
BILL INTRODUCED
IN LOWER R HOUSE
Measure Is Calculated to Pro-
duce $600,000,OO0 Yearly
TRIPLES PRESENT RATES
Promoters Call 1t the Nations
Greatest Revenue Producer
See Increased Imports
PRESENT RATES

Washington, d. c., June 30,-The
greatest revenue producing tariff bill
in the history of the country was in
troduced in the house yesterday by
Representative Joseph W. Fordney
(Mich), chairman of the house ways
and means committee, 1t represents
the views of the Republican members
of the committee as to the extent to
which the Republican principle Of pro-
lection should be exercised to safe
guard American industries and pro-
ducers.
Although comparison with the last
Republican tariff act is difficult be-
cause of numerous changes made in
the methods of basing duties, govern
ment experts believe the schedules
taken as a whole are equal and prob
ably somewhat higher than those of
the Payne-Aldrich law of 1909.
Estimate $6oo,oOoooo Return.
Many duties are higher than were
imposed in 1909, while others are low
or, but the free list is somewhat
smaller. The bill will produce in rev.
enue between S50O,00O,O 900 and $780,
000000 a year. it is estimated. That
sum is nearly double the return from
the Payne-Aldrich law, but the esti.
mate is based on the belief that i'm
ports will be much greater than
twelve years ago.
Taken in its entirety, the bill may
be said to triple the rates now in eff
feet under the Democratic Underwood
Simmons law Of 1914. The average
ad valorem duty of the present law is
per cent willie under the new bill it
will be about IS per cent. Scores Of
articles have been removed from the
democratic free list and made duti-
able. The Democratic tariff now
yields about $3O0,000,000.

from twelve TO fltty thouSand,
Dublin, June 3O.--All hope has not
yet been abandoned OF settling the
Irish question by a conference de-
spite the discouraging tone Of the
messages exchanged by Sir James
Craig, Premier of Ulster, and Eam.
onn de Valera. President of the Irish
Republic" and the doubtful tone OF
De Valera's reference to Premier
| Lloyd Georges invitation.
In a letter to Sir James Craig reply
ing to the Ulster Premier's notifica-
tion that he cannot meet De Valera
in a preliminary conference in Dub
lin, the Irish Republican leader
makes the declaration that Lloyd
Georges invitation to conference
is impossible of acceptance in its
present form.
AS quoted by the Irish Bulletin, or
gan of the Dali Eireann, De Valera's
letter is as follows
Il sincerely regret that you cannot
come to a conference in Dublin Mon
day. Mr. Lloyd Georges proposal be
cause Of its implications, is impos-
sible of acceptance in its present
form. Our political differences ought
to be adjusted and can, | believe, be
adjusted on Irish soil. But it is OBJ
vious that in the negotiations of
peace with Great Britain the Irish
delegation ought not to be divided
but should act as a unit on some com
mon principle
Some here still believe that Sir
James will be represented at the
Dublin meeting Monday in order to
try to reach a common ground, but
advices from Belfast, indicate quite
the contrary-that the northern party
is satisfied with its own Parliament
and is going to set tight, and that
their representatives will go to Lon
don if the conference is held to see.
and hear what is offered but will
neither volunteer nor permit further
concessions from their own party.
De Valera in the meantime is
Carrying on" with high head He
today denies vigorously that he called
to see Arthur GriiHth, "Vice-President
of the irish Republic" at Mountioy
jail yesterday, asserting that it Is in
compatible with his dignity thus to
acknowledge the Sassenach power to
imprison his colleague.
