Walsh Figures
Showing Higher Prices
Under Proposed Tariff

Washington, June 25.-IncreaseS in
tariff duties proposed on fresh meats,
sugar, cereals. beans, potatoes and ap-
pies, if effective would advance the
cost of those commodities to American
consumers by a total of s1,316, 569,449
annually, Senator Walsh, Democrat
Massachusetts. said today in formal
statement. He explained that this es-
innate had been prepared by the de-
partment of agriculture at his request
and was based on the total consump-
ton in this country multiplied by the
increased tax proposed in the new bill
over the law Of 1913.
Senator Walsh made public, table
prepared by the department showing
the creased per capita cost per annum
on such items would be as follows:
Barley. $0094: buckwheat. $0,007;
corn, $4.O77; oats, $1,000; rye, $0,o62;
wheat, $1,792; sugar. $0.49O; beef
(fresh), S2.714; mutton, $0.159; pork.
so.736; beans. $C.13O; potatoes, s1.S23;
apples, S9,397. Total s13.159.
These figures reveal the terrible
consequences Of high tariff duties on
the bare necessities of life" said Sem
ator Walsh. at the very period when
we are attempting to debate the enor-
nous costs of production and the ex-
cessive prices prevailing as a result
of war conditions. it is proposed to
increase the cost of living to the
American people to the extent of ST.
SIG, 569,449 per annum.''

Steel Market Holds--Gain in
Car Loading-Near Crisis in
Soft Coal Strike-N. E. Tex
tile Situation the Same
Opinion Divided on Probable
ity Rail Strike

New York June 25.-(By A. P.)-
Notwithstanding the uncertainty COM
prised in the several labor disputes
and the impending reductions in rail-
road freight rates. industry maintained
its gains during the past week.
Steel mills continued to operate at
nearly rs per cent. Of capacity and the
prices of steel products remained firm.
Buying for prompt shipment was
stronger than that for future delivery,
but this was considered natural by the
trade since the future course of prices
is rendered uncertain by such factors
as the change in railroad rates, the
coal strike, the possibility of higher
labor costs, and the character of the
autumn demand for steel
Impressive gains were shown by the
latest railroad car loading figures for
the week ending June 10. Although
coal shipments. which have been gain
ing still amounted to only $1,000 cars
DIS CON- par GU LII -OO,bVU I'd III VIC
week before the strike started the
volume of other freight increased suf-
flciently to bring total loadings up to
SAC, 600 cars. This figure equals that
recorded in the week before the strike
began. which Is, incidentally, the high
record for the year.
A number of we'll posted observers
inclined to the view that crisis in the
soft coal strike is approaching. Stocks
are being drawn down and the lower
freight rates on July / are expected
to stimulate demand. In any event
the pressure for added production ap
peared to be growing, circumstance
which favors the view that the de-
cisive point in the struggle is impend-
ing.
Reports from New England said
that more Of the striking textile work
crs were returning to the mills The
mills appear, however to be still op-
Grating at a comparatively low rate.
Opinions as to the likelihood Of
railroad strike continue to be divided.
The roads still profess to regard such
an event as unlikely, and it is pointed
out that there has been some sloWncss
in the balloting. Union officials in
sist, however, that the vote will favor
walkout and that one will be or
dered. Nothing definite has developed
to indicate whether the train service
employees would declare sympathetic
strike if the staff employees, who are
concerned in the present series Of
wage cuts, should so out.
Crop prospects remained somewhat
uncertain. but a good yield of wheat
and subnormal cotton crop are still
probabilities. Some claims of winter
wheat deterioration on account of hot
dry weather in the northwest have
been made and prices have rallied
about cents above the recent low,
but the greater firmness is attributed
to the technical position of the mar
Eet rather than to any material change
in crop prospects. Persistent wet
weather in the south led to higher cot
ton prices carly in the week. After
the weather cleared, however, the
fresh advance vas cancelled.

At thesame time Mr.. Starr held one

Rev. Herbert S. Whitlock, pastor of
the Peoples Baptist church said that
he was soon to have a vacation from
his pastorate duties, and he offered
his entire vacation to travel for the
strikers soliciting money for the relief
fund. He also said:
1.-THE Amoskeag officials are not
psychologists. If they were, you
would have been working ten weeks
ago. I don't blame Governor Brown
for his stand. 1t is unfortunate that
he has a wishbone instead of back
bone. The trouble with the mill Of
fcials is that they are cup custard

that the business men showed a little
