SUGAR TARIFF DEAL
SLAVES BEET PLEA
Senate Sets 30 Cents Duty; Refuses
Bounty Of $9,50O,o00 To Pot
ash Producers

WaShingtOn.-The senate has APP
proved an increase of three-tenths OF
a cent a pound in the tariff on sugar
rejected a plan for a government
bounty Of SO, 100000 for domestic pot
ash producers, and rescinded its for
mer action in voting an impost of two
cents a pound on white arsenic. Pot
ash and white arsenic were placed on
the free list.
The sugar rate Of % cents a pound
was a compromise between the %
cents duty urged by Louisiana cane
and western beet sugar producers, and
the 9 cents proposed by the house and
approved by the finance committee
majority. 1t is three-tenths Of a cent
above the tariff in the existing emer-
gency act and los cents above that in
the Underwood act.
The compromise was offered by Sen
ator Smoot, of Utah, ranking Republic
can on the finance committee, and was
accepted by the same vote as that by
which the senate rejected the 2.5 cents
duty, 81 to 80.

SENATE RISES AGAINST
THE FLEXIBLE TARIFF
PROPOSAL To Let Executive Vary Rates
Denounced AS Astounding and
Dangerous

Washington.=Flexible tariff pro.
visions designed to carry out President
Harding's recommendation to congress
last December, met with such strong
opposition in the senate that their fate
in the voting that must come under
the unanimous consent agreement, ap-
peared to be in doubt.
1t seemed to be fairly certain that
before they could be approved, they
would have to be modified to an even
greater extent than proposed in a sub
stitute for the original plan reported
Virtually all the Democrats and a num-
Der of Republicans, including Chair
mar Gooding and other leaders of the
agricultural-tariff bloc, have indicated
their opposition to the provisions In
any form, while others on the major
ity side have insisted upon q sharp
curtailment of the broad authority the
committee has proposed shall be given
to the president.
Under the committee substitute, the
chief executive would be authorized to.
increase or decrease tariff rates with
in a radius of 80 per ce~t if investi-
cation developed that such action were
necessary to equalize "the differences

TOLL OF TYPHOON IN
CHINA is NOW $4,000
Lack OF Coffins Neceesitates Buryinq
Dead In Old Bags and Mat
tress Covers

Hong Kong.-The toll of the typhoon
of August 2 at Swallow has now
mounted TO $4,000 dead. Coffins are
lacking to provide decent burial for
many and the bodies are being Inferred
in gunny sacks.
The new figures on lives lost, almost
TRIPPING previous estimates, were con-
tanned in a circular issued by the Hong
Kong branch of the Swallow chamber
of commerce. The circular stated that
$4,000 bodies of victims of the Swa-
tow disaster had already been ac-
counted for.
Benevolent societies attempting TO
care for the dead, are using mattress
covers and old bags as collins for the
myriad of dead could not be provided
for otherwise. Charitable %organiza-
lions of Hong Kong are combining to
organize effectual measures for the
relief of the stricken city.
Another British steamer. in addition
to the two previously reported ashore
was bound from Hong Kong to Shang-
hal when she met the fury of the ty-
phoon and was wrecked, but her pas
sengerS were saved.

PORTER SAVES THIRTY
AS PULLMAN CAR BURNS
Railroad Officials Say Loss OF Life
Averted BY Prompt
Action

Seattle.-The lives of 30 passengers
were imperilled, one mar was seriously
injured and several other persons~re-
ceived cuts, burns and bruises when
the rear sleeper on the westbOund
Columbian flyer on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad was de
stroyed by fire near Rye, 100 miles
east of here.
Railroad officials say loss of life
was averted by the prompt action of
William Wilson, the negro porter. who
ran through the car awakening the
sleeping passengers and helping them
to safety.
Wilson was given credit by the pas
sengers also for saving the remainder
Of the train. Fighting his way through
the screaming, fear-stricken passen-
gers, he reached the emergency cord.
Almost before the train had come to a
stop he was our and had uncoupled the
car. BY this time, the flames we're
sweeping the length of the coach.
The cause of the fire is not definite
ly known, but railroad officials say 1t
probably resulted from a defective
fuse. 1t started in the woman's dress
ing room and had made great Roadway
before it was discovered.

COAL NINE PEACE
AGAIN CALLED OFF
HARDING TIPS HOUSE TO KEEP
IN SESSION.; MAY ASK
r. r. CONTROL
MAY ASK LEGISLATIVE ACTION
Effort To End Both Strikes Being
Foredoomed To Fail; kilograms
Ask %"ReJection" Presi-
dents Offer

Observation-Disclosures Harding has
asked congressional leaders, in view
of the menacing industrial situation
arising from coal and rail strikes, to
hold the house, nov in recess, continu-
ously in session along with the senate.
The prospect was that, failing early
settlement of the labor controversies,
the administration might call for leg
islative action to enable the govern
ment to cope with conditions which
thus far have failed to react favorably
to efforts on the part of the executive.
Suggestions were advanced that con
gress might be asked to authorize re-
sumption of federal control over the
railroad systems should President
Harding find it impossible to termin-
ate the strike satisfactorily, with the
further possibility that direct legisla-
ton amending the transportation act
might be sought to make the Railroad
Labor board decisions in wage matters
binding upon arrangements and en-
ployes.
llFIiC diSV was q plopVOdi III oOiiiS
quarters that jurisdiction might be
given the board by law over differ
ences which arise during the strike, as
did the present seniority issue.
Meanwhile, the leaders of all union
organizations in the transportation
field began to gather in Washington
for a conference to determine the re-
Spouse which shall be made to PreSi-
dent Harding's latest offer of a settle
basis for the seven railroad
unions now on strike and to determine
as well, according to statement OF
those who will participate, what joint
or cooperative action the labor forces
shall take in case the presidents offer
Is rejected.
B. M. Jewell, chairman of the group
Of officers of the striking unions, de-
clared that he had received hundreds
Of kilograms from locals of the shop
telling US to reject the presi-
1ent's offer and not q single one asking
is acceptance"

Big Four Men Bottle Up Trains art

Los Observation-Disclosures Of the en-.
gineerS, firemen, conductors and train.
men brotherhoods on several far west
| ern divisions of Santa Fe lines have
| notified railroad officials here that
they no longer would move trains
through points where armed guards
are employed on railroad property.
Railroad officials and officers of the
four brotherhoods conferred here on
means of settling the differences be-
tween them.
From Bakersfield, CAL. it was re-
ported that no trains were moving
east over the roads lines and brother
hood men there were quoted as saying
they had given the railroad "a hours
within which to emove armed guards.
Strategically, the checking of train
movement at Needles was admitted
by railroad men to be a severe blow at
the operation of the Santa Fla system,
as Needles is the neck Of the trans
portation bottle, so far as the Santa
Fe is concerned. 1t is a desert town,
and all the trans-continental traffic of
the Santa Fe system normally is
routed through it.
If the brotherhoOds make good their
threat to halt all trains there, the stu
alton would result in paralysis of the
western lines within a short time.

Neither Side In Mood To Accept Peace
Proposals.; Strikers Forecast For
NAL Acknowledgements
Taking Strike Vote

Washington. President Harding's
new proposals for ending the railroad
shop crafts strike have met spoken re-
bluffs from both railway and union
leaders.
In addition, the leaders Of the strik-
ing unions have called into conference
at Washington the heads of other
unions connected with the railway SER
vice.
This call was accompanied by sug-
gestions by B. NJ. Jewell that the other
unions will shortly find it necessary
to refuse to work on defective equip
ment"-adding that he did not expect
strike action to be proposed at the
general conference.
At the same time, the Railroad La
Dor board voted willingness to act upon
the issue of seniority which now di-
vfdes the executives of the roads and
their striking shop crafts; and loo
telegraphers on the Big Four road
have begun taking a strike vote.
AS a final call" from the govern
ment for immediate settlement Of the
rail strike, President Harding com
municated to railroad executives and
heads of the striking shop crafts
unions, proposals that the men be sent
back to work, that the managements
take them back, and that adjustment
of the crucial seniority issue be left to
decision of the Railroad Labor board.
Though the president was said to-
consider this the only practical course
the government could take, union
spokesman, indicating it's rejection,
have summoned their associates to
meet here to pass upon the proposal
and called to Washington for general
conference, the heads of all railroad
labor organizations to consider meth
DDS of cooperation that might make
the strike more effective.
The rail executives have made no
response to the White House. though
press dispatches indicate that they also
will meet to frame a collective answer.

ALLIES TOGETHER
Great Britain Expects France To
Bid Gold Brick On
Preparations

London. - Allied statesmen have
what is unanimously regarded as the
most momentous conference since
peace was concluded.
The immediate concern of the con
ference is the question of reparations
and Germany's request for a rorator-
ium, but since the delivery of the note
of the Earl of Balfour, it is assumed
that the question of interallied in
~debtedness cannot be excluded from
the discussions, especially as Raymond
Poincare, the French prime minister,
is credited with bringing to London a
plan for the extinction of the German
~reparations bonds in exchange for a
cancellation OF the French debt to
Great Britain.
This plan meets with little sympathy
in England, because it is contended
that these German bonds, being admit
tedly worthless, Great Britain would
gain nothing, but, by forgiving the
French debt, would lose the last weap-
on she possesses for bringing pressure
to bear upon France on the question of
ornaments or on any policy in which
France might run counter to British
ideas. The situation is further compli-
Germany concerning Germany's pay
ments on account of clearing house
debts and the measure which France
already has ordered taken in this con
nectinn.
