HOUSE VIEWS CONFLICT.
Proposed Tax Burden Is Seen by
Leaders.

Sharply conflicting views as to the
tax burden to be imposed on the
American people by the administra-
tion's tariff bill were expressed by
republican and democratic leaders OF
the House.
Counting the. free list. the average
duty rate was estimated by Chairman
F'ordney of the ways and means COM
mittee at between IS and 20 per cent
compared with the 1855 Payne-Al-
drich average, and per cent under
the present Underwood measure. Mr.
average, after an accurate estimate.
would range lower than Payne-Al-
drich schedules.
Taking issue with t he chairman.
Representative Garner. Texas. rank
ing democrat on the committee, de-
clared the rates, considering the
American valuation provisions. were
higher than those in any tariff bill
passed by Congress since the civil
war. Quoting statements of repub-
ten. would bring in about 100000. 900
annually. Mr.. Garner charged this
meant an additional cost of at least
$4,000. 100000. and that the larger

Mr.. Fordney had announced that he
would issue a statement showing in
detail some of the essential proTi-
slonS OF the Dill and clearing up many
points of difference, but rush of
work. he later said. made it impos-
sible.
Big Bill Bewilders.
In the absence Of the expected
statement from Chairman Fordney,
members generally found the 346-page
bill almost. bewildering. There was
resentment against some Of the sched-
ules by republicans. but. broadly
speaking, members stood on the bill
according to party Affiliations. There
was a howl from some democrats
owe rthe free list. which, they insisted
had been too sharply reduced.
Before going into the preliminary
republican caucus last night many
representatives said it would take
two or three sessions to adjust all
diffeTSoces. Mr.. Fordney's plan to
have .1e bill reported Saturday, after
a meeting Of the full committee, was

changed. and the meeting was called
for Wednesday.
The American valuation provision
was a stumbling block in the way
of enlightenment. especially as the
bill was thrown into the House
hopper without explanation. In view
of the demand from members for in
formation, Chairman Fordney gave
out word during the day that the
opening caucus would not be able to
reach real contested ground.
Instance Of a Chair.
1t seemed to be agreed that the
American valuation section would af-

described as a rough estimate ol
average, said he had taken. into &C.

TOBACCO MEN HEAR
OPTIMISTIC VIEWS
Briqht Year Is Predicted at
Convention of National
Association Here.
BY Webster.

Encouraged by the rapid adjustments
taking place in the business world as
a whole, a note of optimism was
sounded at the twenty-first annual
convention Of the Tobacco Association
of the United States. now in session
at the Hotel Powhatan. when T. NJ.
Darlington of Richmond. Va. presi-
dent of the organization, in his annual
address, predicted a bright year for
the tobacco growers of the country.
In summing up the Situation in the
tobacco world, Mr.. Darlington stressed
the fact that the 1920 crop was the
there is more tobacco on hand now
than ever before, this surplus can
soon be absorbed by a reduction in
this years production.
Factors in Situation.
The Unrest of governments, the
chaotic conditions of exchange, labor
difficulties. and the unsettled condi-
tions of the railroads were all re-
sponsibie in part for the slump the
tobacco world has suffered in the
past year. according to President
Carrington's report.
In referring to the frequent talk in
some quarters of pooling tobacco.
which it is claimed would develop
into co-opertive selling, Mr.. Caring
ton said that no plan had yet been
devised that is satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Ha pointed out that the
farmer had not gotten proper consid-

PROSPECTIVE TARIFF
SEEN AS BENEFICIAL
Chairman Fordney, However,
Says It Is Not PanaCea
for All Ills.

Chairman Fordney of the House
ways and means committee. in his
1 first formal statement today on the
permanent tariff bill, said he did
not herald it as a panacea for all
national difficulties" but predicted
that it's effect upon American indus
try and American labor would be
entirely beneficial.
Discussing the American valuation
provision, Mr.. Fordney said it had
been contended that the proposal
was one to secure some sort Of con-
cealed protection" and that 1T was
a cloak under which import duties
would be materially increased.
Declared Erroneous ImDressiOn.
Examination of the bill. however"
he added. will correct this erroneous
impression. The committee has taken
full cognizance of the fact that 1T is
proposing higher values generally,
and has reduced the rates accordingly.
Comparison of the rates with the
Payne e-AIdrich bill. Mr.. Fordney de-
clared. will indicate reduction in
rates.
! 'Where there is a very great dis
parity of production costs between
particular foreign country and Amer
a"-the statement said. the assess
! ing of ad valorem duties on American
! values will tend toward higher duties.
Where foreign costs. however. are
more nearly equal to American costs.
the change to the American basis will
have a tendency to reduce duties.
Protection in Higher Duties.
This, however, is desirable. for. in
| the first instance, higher duties are
| essential to protect American indus
| tries, and in the second instance, high
duties are not required to afford pro-
| lection.
| ."The American valuation system
will have a desirable equalizing ef-
! feet on import duties and seems en-
! tirely in harmony with the effort of
the committee to establish rates
| which will offset production costs
| here and abroad"

 HAD PLANNED MURDER

Chicago. Nov. 3.-When the Dearborn street station mail robbery, which netted the robbers S350 900, was being planned a murder was contemplated by some of the plotters but this part of the plan was later abandoned, according to evidence given here today by George Bradford, alias Hecker former mail clerk. Hecker is a star witness for the government in the trial of Timothy C"Big Tim') NIur- ply. Vincenzo Cosmano, Edward Geirun and Paul Volanti on the robbery charge.
 Hecker said Cosmanp. Murphy's lieu tenant, wanted to kill Ralph Teter' who has testified that he gave the tip on the truck containing the money and securi- ties. Murphy. according to HecI5er, ob- jected to killing Teter, who later con- fessed and became a government witness as did Hecker
 Hecker's testimony for the most part substantiated that of Teter given yester- day. He said Teter and he had received about S27 900 each for their part in the robbery and had gone to Indianapolis, where he bought a sS,00O diamond ring for himself and one costing s2,000 for Teter.

HEALTH DEPT MAY ACT
 IN NEW YORK MILK STRIKE

New York, Nov. 3.-Unless New York's milk distribution s5 restored to 50 per cent normal by Saturday, the entire in- dustry will be taken over by the depart ment of health. This warning was giv- en by Health Commissioner Copeland to- day after he had failed again to induce the heads of score of milk distributing companies to arbitrate the differences in volyed in the milk drivers strike which, forfthe last three days, has brought in- convenience to the metropolitan popula- ton.
 Continuance of present conditions. un- der which less thau ohe-third of the nor mai supply was reaching the consumer would constitute a pubic menace. the commissione rdecared. The city nor mally consumes 2000.00 quarts of milk daily he sad, while only 100000 quarts were received this morning.
 The distributors, Dr. Copeland said, were obdurate in their refusal to submit their employees grievances to arbitration and had expressed determination to insist upon open s.op conditions.
 l. Elkin NoChans, secretary of the New York milk conference board, the employ CTS organization, announced tonight that 50 per cent. of the city's normal milk supply was available today and was bought by the public. He estimated that
  70 per cent would be available tomor- row. All distribution was made through the old and new stations of the milk companies, no retail delivery wagons be- ing in service. Arrangements were be ing made 10 send out these wagons in a few days, he said.
 The board also announced that places of 4,o00 of the 11,S00 strikers were filled today and that pasteurization plants were being operated by trained men brought from country plants that are not affected by the strike.
 The police reported several minor dis orders during the day, all of which were quelled quickly Four men charged with | having attacked the driver of a milk wagon were sentenced to twenty days l imprisonment each The magistra +t warned that strike sympathizers who re- sorted to violence would be dealt witt ! sternly.

 R. R. PIERS IN WEEHAWKEN

Weehawken. N. J., Nov. 3.-Two piers of the Erie railroad, heavily loaded with freight. were destroyed and surrounding property considerably dana ged in 8 fire which swept the Weehawken waterfront, opposite 42nd street, New York late to- night.
 Several lighters, also heavily loaded with freight which were moored at the docks, caught fire and were lowed to midstream.
 Fire apparatus from all northern New Jersey waterfront municipalities and fire boats from New York city were summon ed to fight the blaze, which lit up the sky for miles around and attracted thous- ands e sight-seers to the waterfront.
 Two adjoining piers caught fire and there semed to he little prospect of sav- ing them. The roof of one of them caved in. carrying with it three fremen who were rescued but not until after they had been badly burned.
 Flying sparks set fire to pier of the Standard Oil company, just north of the Erie dock, and to a flour warehouse across the street. The Standard Oil pier is filled with barrel oil. The warehouse a five story building, is loaded with flour and covers an area of 200 square feet.
