EMERGENCY TARIFF
MEASURE PASSED
PROVIDES INCREASED RATES OF
DUTY ON A SCORE OF AGRi.
CULTURAL COMMODITIES.
Anti-Dumpins and Foreign Exchange
Sections Included in Legislation
Designed for the Relief
of the Farmer.

Washington.-With party lines fair
~ Glossy drawn, the house Friday
night, April 10, passed the emergency
tariff bill by IA vote of 269 to 112, with
two recorded as present. Half a dozen
Republicans voted against the bill and
nearly dozen Democrats supported
it, but the defections on both sides
were fewer in number than when the
measure was under consideration in
the last session.
Action on the bill came at the end
OF five hours consideration of the
various sections under the fiye-min-
ute rule. Numerous amendments were
offered by the Democrats and few by
Republicans, but all were voted down
upon the insistence of Chairman Ford
ney of the ways and means commit
tee.
The bill as passed provides increased
rates or duty on score of different
agricultural commodities, this portion
of the measure being identical with the
bill as vetoed by former President Will
son. The new parts of the bill, which
may cause some difficulty in the SEN
ate, are anti-dumping provisions, de-
signed to prevent the sale of foreign
goods below the fair value in the home
country, as means of destroying
American industries, and provision
for the regulation of foreign exchange.
The anti-dumping provisions, and the
scheme to regulate foreign exchange
apply to the present Underwood act,
as well as to the rates of duty pro-
vided In the new emergency measure.
Under the scheme to regulate foreign
exchange, collectors of customs, in
import duties, will consider
that no foreign currency has depreciat-
ed In value more than sc % per cent,
the effect Of this being to boost i'm
port duties on goods from Germany 500
per cent.
This is designed as temporary mea-
sure to remain in effect only until the
permanent tariff bill is enacted into
law, the present plan being to incor-
porate In the permanent bill pro-
vision for the basing Of import duties
on the American valuation instead of
the present foreign value, thus elimi-
mating the foreign exchange factor.

RAIL AGREEMENT IS
TO Be ADVOCATED
THE RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
ISSUES ORDERS EFFECTIVE
ON JULY FIRST.
Decision Affects All Employees Elk.
cept Those in Train Service Who
Are Under Separate Agree
ments With Railroads.

Chieago.-National agreements de
| lining working conditions for EN-.
ployees on all American railroads un
der the federal railroad administra.
ton on Thursday were ordered abro.
gated, effective July 1, by the -all.
road labor board.
The board called on the Officers and
system organizations of employees of
each railroad to select representatives
ITO confer and to decide" as much of
the rules controversy as possible.
such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date" the decision
said.
While the decision did not specific
ally say so, members of the board said
mat all disputes as to rules and work
ing conditions automatically were re-
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and its
employees. This method of procedure
had been sought by the railroads,
whereas the labor side had favored a
national conference between represen-
tatives of all roads and all unions.
Inc decision affects all railroad EN-.
ployees except those in train service.
VINO are under separate agreements
between the railroads and the four
big brOtherhOods.
In connection with the conference
negotla tons, the board laid down a set
OF sixteen principles which are to serve
as foundation for any rules which
may be agreed to. The present general
rules hearing before the labor board, In
progress since January 10, will con-
tinue until both sides have completed
their testimony, following which the
board will promulgate such rules as
1t determines just and reasonable as
soon after July 1 as is reasonably DOS
sible and will make them effective as
of July L."
The sixteen principles outlined by
the board were drawn up by Henry Il.
Hunt of the public group and upheld
the right of the employees to organize
Tor lawful purposes, the right of en-
ployees to negotiate through their own
representatives. the right of seniority
and the principle of the eight-hour day.
1t was specified that "eight hours
work must be given for eight hours
pay. Espionage should not be prac-
ticed by either side, the decision said,
and employees representatives should
have the right to make an agreement
applying to all employees In the craft
or class of the representatives.

NO RESUMPTION Of
TRADE WITH RUSSIA
BoLsHEvik TRADE HAZARDOUS,
SECRETARY HUGHES INFORMS
SAMUEL GoMPERS.
Soviet Russia Is a Gigantic Economic
Vacuum. With No Evidence That
Unfortunate Situation Is Likely
to Improve, Says Hughes

Washington. Secretary Hughes
for a statement of the facts" regard
ing Russia, indicates definitely thar
there Is no prospect of resumption
of relations with the United States
while the soviet political and eco.
monte system remains.
The letter replies to various state
ments characterized as propaganda
which contend resumption of relations
with the soviets would open Il great
current of trade of advantage to the
United States and that large ship
ments of Russian gold have been
made to other countries in payment for
goods.
Soviet Russia, the secretary declares.
Is gigantic economic vacuum" and
he adds that mo evidence exists that
the unfortunate situation is likely to
be alleviated so long us the present
system continues"
There have been since December Is,
Secretary Hughes says, no restrictions
on financial transactions between the
United States and Russia, although
there Is no assurance that the mint or
the reserve banks will accept Rus
sian gold.
In reality, the secretary says. trans
fers of Russian gold to other coun-
tries have been small and at the most
nDeral estimates the soyiets have not
more than $175,O0O,0O0 gold. Even i'm
mediate expenditure of the whole
mount In the United States, he says,
would have no lasting effect en- Amer
can trade or industry and it might
take away the scant hope left of a
sound reorganization of the Russian
system Of currency and finance"

AMERICA TO STAND
UPON HER RIGHTS
HUGHES STRONGLY DlssENTs
FROM JAPAN's CLAIMS AS
TO ISLAND OF zap.
As No One Had Authority to cede
the Rights Of United States in Is
land, Government Will Not Rec
osnize Validity Of Mandate.

Washington. - The American and
japanese governments have adopted
equally firm attitudes as TO the status
of the island of Zap. Diplomatic ex-
changes are continuing, but those TO
date were made public on April Is in
Washington and Toxic. They consist
OF two memoranda and three formal
notes.
Japan In its last communication, re-
ceived late In the Wilson administra-
ton, insisted IL had been awarded a
mandate for the island by the supreme
council, May z, 1919. and that 1t could
not agree with the American conten-
ton that. irrespective of any award of
mandate, other nations should have
free access to the island for cables.
In replying, Secretary Hughes on
April 8 stated that the United States
could not be bound by action either
of the supreme council or of the league
of nations, and that, as no one had
been authorized to surrender or cede"
the right of the United States In the
island, the American government could
not recognize the ALLEGATION of the is
land or the validity of the mandate.
Japan Is now considering this COM
hunication. Great Britain, France and
Italy also have before them similar
notes. Exchanges between the four
governments are understood to be un-
der way with view to reaching an
accord.
Meantime. however France, in a
preliminary reply, stated that the
matter is one for the supreme council
to consider In May and that when it
comes up she will approach 1t with a
view to finding solution giving every
satisfaction to the United States.
The viewpoint of the Harding ad-
as explained Monday, is
that the question Of whether the SUI
preme council did actually award the
island to Japan on May Z is of Sec
)ndary Importance
The important point ut issue, It Is
Emphasized. is recognition by the
llied governments of the principle laid
own by Mr.. Hughes-that the United
'tates, as a principal allied and as
ociated power. has an equal right in
he former German colonies, and that
hose rights cannot be disposed of
consent Of the American gov.

THE SANCTIFICATION OF PER.
Feet LOVE.
BY Rev D A E'riand

l read in heavens Book Divine,
Which precious treasure l call mine,
That God who speaks from heaven
alone,
Demands my soul in perfect love.
But how such a worm as l
With heaven lofty words comply?
|, who was borl. 18th faint of sin,
Where shall my 50 ! the work begin?
l hate the sin that dwarfs my life
And leads ME into worldly strife;
| look to Him who once for me
Hung bleeding on Mount CalNary's
tree. ".
Father forgive" | hear Him say,
And all my guilt has passed away;
My soul is freed from every stain,
For Christ my King has come to reign.
| know my sins are all forgiven,
And | am now an heir of heaven;
But there's within me something still
Which holds me back from His sweet
will
l know l love Him, but l long
To realize that love more strong
l pray, l wait, groan, l sigh;
And wish the old man sin would die.
0 Jesus, must l struggle on,
Mid fears and doubts till life be done:
Or is there net some better way
To turn this darkness into day?
Come up, He cries, to higher plain,
And give thy King a chance to reign
Without rival in thy soul,
I'll set you free and make you whole.
By faith I made the upward bound
And landed safe on holy ground,
And now my sun shines night and day,
For 1 am on the Kings highway.
And o, how sweet to walk with God
The way our sainted fathers trod,
And now my heart with rapture thrills
As Perfect Love my spirit fills.
o, Great Deliverer from all sin
Where shall l now Thy praise begin?
Since Thou hast come my soul to bless
And fill my heart with perfect peace.
