BUSINESS MEN SEEK
ACTION ON TARIFF
National Association of Manu-
facturers Meet i'm Wash
ingtOn Jan. 30.

The uncertainty under which manu-
facturers are operating because of the
tariff delays in Congress has caused the
National Association of Manufacturers
TO call a special convention in Washing
ton for January 30-31 to urge that
prompt action be taken on this subject
SO that business may be speeded up to
normal proportions.
The principal topic Of discussion will
be the American Valuation Plan, which
has been the center OF so much OF the
controversy over the proposed tariff bill.
The manufacturers will urge that the
imposition OF all ad valorem duties be
made upon the basis of American values
instead OF foreign values, as Is the prac-
tice to-day.
that they are seeking no participation
in the framing OF schedules or rates. but
are emphatic in their desire to have the
basic system OF values changed.
A recent referendum vote showed that
II per cent. of the associations men,
bership were In favor of the American
Valuation Plan. and 70 per cent. opposed
tc it. with a small percentage Of the
ballots judged defective. Stated In terms
OF individuals. 1t showed that 2,336,000
employees were in favor OF the Ameri-
can Valuation, and 621. 900 In opposi-
ton.
John Z. Edgerton, president of the
association. in emphasizing the impor-
tance of the forthcoming convention,
said:
Zone of the quickest and most effec-
tive means of restoring the equilibrium
of our nation, IL seems to me, viii be
for Congress to take UP the tariff NIT
Ter at once and dispose Of 1t, no matter
what kind of a tariff bill II gives us.
Every one viii not be completely salts
fed or dissatisfied. no matter what the
result. But every one is certainly COM
petely dissatisfied, disturbed and con-
fused to-day by Congress talking con-
stantly OF tariff bills and giving US
none."
Among the many advantages claimed
by the proponents OF the American Valu-
alton Plan are. that it will prevent un-
| LIBERALIZATION, because of the Govern
ments ability to subpoena witnesses and
obtain facts: and ii will be easier TO
administer, having only the wholesale
value in one country to deal with. while
under the present plan the authorities
must be familiar with the values In more
than one hundred different countries 10
reach proper valuation.

Few new factors of Importance en-
tered into the general situation. Bears
talked of supposedly unsettled conditions
in the dry goods trade and slightly in

statistics were regarded as standoff.

bullish because Of the increase in spin

crease of 1898 bales in the visible
against an increase of 5S,615 last year.

Afternoon (June 25th) Emmitsburg ex-
perienced real touch Of small cy-
clone 1t came without much warning
and although 10 real damage has been
reported, there were several Incidents
that gave cause for worry.
The storm came shooting across
from the southwest and as far as can
be gathered was confined mostly to
the country. For short time the
rain descended in torrents with fero-
cious wind accompanying the heavy
drops, knocking down trees, whirling
chairs and plants from the porches of
residences with every appearance of
a real cyclone. The storm rushed on
so quickly that the people had little
or no time to prepare for it and for
a time there was much alarm as to
what was to happen. The storm CEN
tered mostly over the town, very little
rain falling out near Mt. St. Mary's.
The electric light service was put out
of commission for about 80 minutes.
Mr.. Gerald Rider was visiting at
the home of his father-in-law, Mr..
Samuel D. Cool, making the trip in
his auto truck. The storm swept
big willow tree on top of his truck
nearly demolishing the machine.
The storm paid visit down along
the Taneytown pike and hit the home
of Nh. Charles Sharrer witty such
force that it drove one of his win

his baby, inflicting a cash on the head
calling for four stitches.-Chroncle

THREE AUTOS WRECKED

Early Tuesday morning of this week
three automobiles new Maxwell, i
Willys-knight and 4 Ford-got in a
miXup on the State road about two
miles south of Thurmont. The driver
of the new Maxwell, according to his
statement, had to turn his car to the
left of the road in order to avoid run
ming down a child. This car was 60
ing down grade and north. The car
skidded on the wet road and upset.
About the same time a Willys-Knight
car going south and a Ford going
north collided at the place where the
wrecked Maxwell was lying. This col
lision is said to have occurred as
the driver of the Ford glanced at the
Maxwell car. The occupants Of the
Maxwell were not injured, and after
getting their car on it's wheels pro-
ceeded on their journey to Gettysburg
minus the top. The Willys-Knight,
carrying an Illinois State license, and
the Ford a Maryland license, were
damaged about their
fronts and were brought to O'Tooles
garage for repairs. Luckily none of
the occupants of the cars were injur-
ed to any extent.
Autoists claim that at or near this
point they frequently are compelled to
turn off the road to avoid pedestrians
who ignore repeated warnings of ap-
preaching machines.
Pedestrians should give the same
heed to the warning of an oncoming
machine that other machines and We
hicles are compelled by law to do. A
one or two pedestrians invariably
turns out to the disadvantage of the
later. Why invite disaster by disre-
garding the warning note of the KlaX
on?
