This Is the plan Of Captain Lewis
who Is now completing the details

What Is proposed. Lewis sa VI Is 10

By its use closer touch can be k,Pt'

Lewis said.
Radio work is something that Is
OF great value In apprehending Grim
inais. especially those stealing auto
mobiles or other means OF transporta-
tion. Word could be sent out giving
the number and make OF the car as
well as data for other means OF iden-
tification. Practically all parts OF the
northwest could be reached simultan-
eously and the net spread for the Of
fender.
Fortunately. the main highways
In the northwest are few. Anyone
travelling along them could be found
with little trouble II warning Is sent
out before they can leave the state.
On the roads but little used every
traveller Is noticed. so there Is not a
great deal to fear from that angle.
Anyway. the thief stealing automo-
biles plans to get some distance from
the scene OF his crime and sell the
car"
In addition TO the proposed broad
casting scheme. the police bureau Is
considering placing radio receiving
apparatus on the light cars now used
in the booth system. From the CEN
trail station orders could be dispatch
ed to any OF the Officers directing
him to the scene OF action where he
Is most needed.
This system has been tried In sew
eral cities and has proven successful.
In one OF the trials an officer was
dispatched in a car for a certain
place. Before reaching there he was
ordered to another place where a rio,
was supposed to be In process. This
continued on several other changes
and the officer was In communication
with the central station at all times.

April closely approached a record. II
II did not actually establish one. II
may DC found when the figures are
compiled that more passenger cars
ard trucks were produced than In
a.ny single month In the history OF
the industry.
Record Relieved broken
II is practically certain tina, the
record for carload shipments was
broken. The highest carload ship.
ment ever recorded in one month
was just under $4,000. The revised
total for March was s7.3S0 and April
ran considerably in excess OF this
figure. Whether new mark Is set
will depend upon the number OF cars
driven away from the factories.
The only possible deduction from
these production figures is tha, the
automotiyc industry is running at ca.
pacity. For that reason any material
increase In production will be I'm.
possible this month. II can be stated
definitely, however. that May will be
as good as April. Predictions beyond
that point would be hazardous. but !
II would be surprising II there were
not seasonal decline In the third

New-York tribune., 1922-08-20
The House figure was 2s per

cent. The House figure was 20 pei
| cent.
The silk and silk goods schedule in
the Senate bill showed marked in
creases over the House rate. Strong
efforts were made in the Senate TO
lower these rates, but they met with
practically no success. Senator Shep.
pard, of Texas, led fight for reduc-
tions on numerous paragraphs, but tc
almost no avail.
Under Paragraph 1901 silk partially
manufacstured, in the House bill bears
duty of 3b cents n pounds. 1t is
provided in the House bill the duty
shall not be less than 25 per cent The
Senate rate is not less than 35 per
cent ad vplorem.
Silk yarn and spun silk in the House
bill has a minimum duty of 26 per
cent. In the Senate bill this is raised
to 40 per cent and in the case Of two
or more ply yarn to 4b per cent. 1.
Under Paragraph 1905 silk woven
fabrics in the piece, composed wholly
or in chief value of silk, not specially
provided for, pay 81 per cent ad
valorem in the Senate bill. The House
rates are much more detailed and COM
plicated on this subject, but the House
provided that none under this para
"Ph ctiouiu pay lCsS CHaU oI per ,cGHL
ad valorem. The Senate rate repre-
sents on the whole substantial in
crease over the House rates.
Under Paragraph 1908, knit fabrics
in the piece bear duties under the
House bill from 35 to 40 per cent ad
valorem. The Senate rates are So to
80 per cent. This paragraph covers
knit underwear, hose. half hose and
gloves, finished or unfinished, COM
posed wholly or in chief value Of. silk.
Silk clothing is increased from 40
per cent ad valorem under the House
bill to so per cent under the Senate
bill. Silk handkerchiefs are increased
from 40 to 60 per cent.
All manufactures of silk, or of
which silk is the component material
of chief value, are increased from 35
per cent in the House bill to 60 per
cent in the Senate bill. .f
Increases in Metals
The metal schedule is another con-
spicuous instance in which some note
worth increases have been made by
the Senate. When this schedule was
before the Senate, Senator Cummins
and other Senators protested against
the high rates but to little effect. Re-
Gently, the Senate Finance Committee
cut the rate on pig iron to 75 cents a
ton. This is lower than the House
rate, which is $1.25. The action of the
New-York tribune., 1922-08-20

cents pound and 25 per cent ad
valorem to So cents q pound and 80
per cent ad valorem. The correspond
ing Senate rates range from 26 cents
and 4Geper cent ad valorem to 40 cents
and 80 per cent ad valorem.
Under the cotton schedule, long
staple cotton is given a duty Of z
cents pound. This is not in the House
bill, though it j is in the emergency
tariff act.
A feature of the cotton schedule is
that the Senate Finance Committee re-.
duced the basis of yarn count from
100 to 80 and thus increased duties.
In this schedule as in all others as
q matter of fact, accurate comparisons
with the House rates are practically inn
possible by reason Of the basing Of the
House rates on American valuation and
the Senate rates on the foreign valua-
ton. However, approximate compari-
sons can be made.
AS to cotton yarn, the Senate bill pro-
vides none of the duties shall be less
than 80 per cent. In the House, the
corresponding figure is 27 per cent.
The Senate provides that as to
cotton thread the duty shall not be
less than 20 nor more than 80 per cent.
The House rates to correspond are
II to 33 1-3 per cent.
The Senate cotton cloth rates are
increased to some extent, but not
heavily, over the House rates.
On handkerchiefs the Senate bill
provides that the duties shall not be
less than percentages ranging from 80
to 40. The corresponding House levels
are rs per cent to 35 per cent.
The Senate bill, as to cotton bedding,
spreads, blankets, towels and the like,
carries duties ranging not less than
25 to 80 per cent. The corresponding
House figures are 20 per cent to 23
per cent.
Lace window curtains under the
Senate bill carry duties not less than
so per cent. The House provided for
not less than 40 per cent.
Under the fax, hemp and jute sched-
ule the rate of duty on hemp and hemp
tow has been increased, compared with
the House bill, from three-fourths of a
cent to two cents pound, and hackled
hemp from one and one-half to four
cents pound. This has resulted in
compensatory rates on hemp manufac-
lures to correspond to the increases.
Illustrative of the tendency under
this schedule the Senate rates on tow
els and napkins, finished or unfinished,
composed wholly or in chief value of
flax or hemp, range from 40 to 55 per
