The plan as finally approved is a sharp

duties from specific to. sd yalerenn or
from ad valoraRa@to specific, nor transfer
articles from the duitable list to the free

any maximum specially fixed in the
bill.
Alterations in rates, which would be
limited to so per cent of the figures fixed

sixty days after the issuing of procla-
nation providing for such changes, but
a proclamation could not be issued until
there had been investigation and a re-

Under an amendment by Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, the commission be-
fore making it's recommendations to the
president would be required to hold public
hearings and give public notice in ad-
vance of such hearings.
In ascertaining the differences in costs
of production, the president as far as
he found it practicable would be required
to take into consideration:
"The differences in conditions in pro-
duction, including wages, costs of mate
rial an dothar items in costs of produc-
ton Of such or similar merchandise in the
United States and in competing foreign
countries; g.
"The differences in the whole selling

LABOR'S STAND
Will Be MADE
PUBLIC TODAY
Officials of Seven Unions on
Strike Will Reply to President
for Themselves.
STONE INTIMATES OTHER
TRAINMEN MAY STRIKE
Harding Does Not Intend to Put
the Government Into Threat
ening Posture.
(sy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. After
several hours conference behind closed
doors. chief officials of all the rail-
road labor organizations adjourned
tonight until 9 a. m, tomorrow, declar-
ing themselves still unready to make
response to President Harding's final
strike settlement offer to the shopmen,
and still unready to make public the
policy which unions not now on strike
intend to follow in the circumstances.
Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
engineers brotherhood and chairman
of the meeting, announced at its close
however that both these expressions
would be forthcoming tomorrow, Off
Gals Of the seven unions on strike will
reply to the president for themselves,
Mr.. Stone said, while the remainder
of the organizations intended to join
in, a declaration of their position to
the public.
Other WaIHouts
Incidentally, Mr.. Stone, commenting
on the walkouts of trainmen in various
places now progressing, said that he
had reports from fifty terminals
where our men are facing conditions
just like those and added that there
s.ssess sssfrt fsu waskouts'' at such terminals
without completely tying up trans
portation.''
At the White House, the administra-
tons view of these walkouts, attribut-
ed by the union leaders to the presence
of armed guards, was said to be that
no strike anywhere of any character,
which had as it's purpose the prevent
ing of the government from authoriz-
ing agencies Of law and order to pro-
tect life and property, would have
countenanee or effect. President Hard
ing, it was said, does not intend to put
the government into a threatening
posture in the industrial situation.
Mr.. Stone said he was constantly
in receipt today of reports from strike
centers, and that the instructions to
train service men were the same-that
they should not continue work at
points where their lives were endan-
gered.
AlI-Labor Fight
While the formal announcement of
their conclusion was thus withheld the
officers Of the striking shop crafts Or
ganizations were unvarying in hold
ing out the impression that the presi-
dents offer-the heart of which is the
proposal to leave the seniority status
of returning strikers to decision of the
railroad labor boardo, wuld meet rejec-
tion. The purpose of the gathering, as
they described it, was merely to con-
slider what the policy of the other un-
ions would be.
Now that it's come down to a ques-
tion of seniority retention said Mar
tin F. Ryan, head Of the Garments
brotherhood, which among the striking
numbers the most men,
'Tt isn't the shopmen's fight It's the
fight of every labor organization in
railroad service"

ORPHAN PITCHER is
WINNER FOR GIANTS

NEW YORK, Aug. Big jock
Scott, turned into baseball orphan
when the Cincinnati Reds tagged him
with bad arm, finally persuaded John
NcGraw, when the Giants returned,
that he might have game left in his
old souther.
Several days ago, in pinch, Ne
Graw found an extra suit and threw
him in for two innings at the tailend
of game. He got by.
Yesterday when Phil Douglas was
marked Il. W. O. L. and when Hugh Ne
Quillan, the new six figure pitcher, had
blown in the first game of double
header, MeGraw called the orphan
again in the pinch and he won the
second game from the Cubs.
He may turn out to be savior of the
team.
While McGraw likes to spend money
for good ball players, he also likes to
pick up these old discards and shoot
new life into them.
Last winter McGraw paid $685. 900 to
the indianapolis club for Ralph Sinners,
a young outfielder regarded as a second
edition of Speaker. Sinners got beaned
by George Smith in Philadelphia and
lost his eye.
Into the breach McGraw showed
Casey Stengel, the old National League
wanderer who didn t cost him cent.
Stengel filled the bill sensationallv and
his work has been one of the biggest
factors in keeping the Giants up in the
race.
