INCREASED TARIFF DUTIES
 PROPOSED ON EDIBLEs

Washington, June 25.-Increases it tariff duties proposed on fresh meats, su- gar, cereals, beans, potatoes and apples, if effective, would advance the cost of those commodities to American consum- CTS by a total of $1,316. 6.569.449 annually, Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts, said today in a formal statement. He explained that this estimate had been prepared by the department of agricul- ture at his request and was based on the total consumption in this country multiplied by the increased tax proposed in the new bill over the law of 1913.
 Senator Walsh made public a table prepared by the department showing the increased per capita cost per annulm on such items would be as follows:
 Barley. s094; buckwheat, s0.07: corn s4077; oats. s1.3Os; rye, sO.O94; wheat S1.792; sugar, s0.4e0; beef, fresh, s2.7i4 mutton, sO159; pork. s0.736; beans, s0.130; potatoes. s1.323 apples. sO.397 total. S13.159.
 These figures reveal the terrible con sequences of high tariff duties on the bare necessities of life" said Senator Walsh. At the very period when we are attempting to def1ate the enormous costs of production and the excessive prices prevailing as a result of war conditions 1t is proposed to increase the cost of liy- ing to the American people to the extent of S1,316, 6,569,449 per annum."

 MT Harding was not to return from his weekend visit to the country home of Edward B. Mclean, Washington pub fisher, at Leesburg, Va, until tomorrow morning.

 Officials of the miners unions and some operators are understood to be- lieve the time is ripe for some attempt at a. rapprochement. On the other hand. the sentiment in the operators organi- zations is said to be against any attempt at settlement except through district and local agreements.

They have not receded it was said from the program adopted at their con vention last February. and are ready to present it at such conferences.
