TAACL.E Ed TARIFF
BILL MAY NEVER
PASS CONGRESS
New Workers Doubt if Per-
manent Measure Will Be
Adopted; Hearst Sets
Heart on Being President

Especial Correspondence TO The Journal J
New York, Aug. THAT the
tangled tariff bill will never be
put upon the statute books in its
present form, and may never be-
come law at all in any form, was
asserted today by representatives
of downtown business interests
here, who have just returned from
close consultation with the inside
administration leaders at Washing
ton. In spite of the presidents
persistent urge for some sort of a
tariff measure before next election
day, the tide of constituents resent
ment against all tariff tinkering
has risen to such floods of protest
upon senators that they are pretty
sure to stampede and scrap tbs
whole bill within few weeks,
these men believe. Though it is
predicted that promises will be
made to pass such revenue bill
at the end of this year when the
wrecking of McCumber's measure
is accomplished, those who have
followed the administration trend
most closely say that they would
not be surprised to find the pres
ent tariff law still in force two
years from now.
Hearst Hankers.
Real determination as much as
dope lies all through the recent
activities of the agents of Willian,
Il. Hearst, it has just been learned
by shrewd political investigators
who have been getting Nine on
the plans of the boss of the scare
head press. Hearst has set his
heart and bent his own and hired
brains on being president of the
United States in 1925, these men
confide to their friends, while he
has set up from two toythree mill
ions of dollars to back his ambi.
tons and show that he really
means it, If serious splits breaks
from old party lines develop to the
point of making a third party and
presidential candidate possible, 1t
is predicted that Hearst intends to
force himself to the fore of such a
movement.
Doctors Demand.
Organizing to make a mighty
protest against any surrender of
Americas chemical research and
drug interests to the same German
trust that Withdrew essential medi-
cal supply as a far threat to keep
US out, the doctors of the whole
country are now focusing their
protest direct upon President Hard
ing, according to leaders in the ma
tional medical associations. Not
only will the return of patent
rights, that the Chemical Founda-
ton has owned and held for the
use of Yankee makers of many
modern medicinals, deal a serious
blow to our nations drug supply,
but it must practically Kill all fur
Their attempts to advance medicine
by chemical study of the body,
when it has closed local laboratories
and sent back to Germany a mon
opoly of the chance for research.
Before the men of medicine get
through voicing their views at
Washington, it is promised that
the administration will learn much
that has been ignored thus far.
Costly Cubes.
Famine prices for the cooling
cubes of ice that are peddled all
over town are just beginning to
mark a most serious situation for
the poor of this city. In every
size, from the frozen dice that go
into glasses to the huge blocks fer
the largest refrigerator, costs are
reported to be half as high again
as last summer and even doubled
over former rates. Throughout
the baking tenements, where few
cents make ice buying prohibitive,
many mothers are already begin
ming to forego this supply that
may mean life or death to their
babies.
