Efforts Will Be Made to Settle
3d., Anthracite Strike at
Conference.

Efforts to settle the anthracite coal
strike will begin late this afternoon at
the Union League Club, according to
Philip Murray, Vice President of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The operators. in response to insist
ent demands of union officials, agreed
to meet to-day to discuss wages after
the sudden postponement yesterday.
The men, he admitted, are restive over
the marking time" policy of the op-
orators and unless progress is made
the union will adopt more aggressive
tactics.
The operators, in their headquarters
at the Pennsylvania Hotel, persisted
To-day in refusing to see newspaper
men, even to confirm Mr.. Murray's
statement the conference would be
resumed this afternoon. The latter,
after ridiculing reports of separate
State agreements, expressed complete
abstraction with the progress of the
strike in the bituminous field. He re-
fused to comment upon President
Harding's proposed plan of ending the
Nation wide strike.

NEW TARIFF BILL
DOUBLES RATES,
SAYS SIMMONS
Would Lead to Higher Cost of
Living, More Monopoly, and
Unemployment.

WASHINGTON, April 2e.-The Ad-
ministration Tariff Bill. If passed in
It's present form, will lead to higher
costs of living, reduced production,
unemployment and further monopoll-
zatioh of American industries Sem
ator SIMMONS of North Carolina, the
Democratic leader in the tariff fight,
declared to-day in the Senate.
"a careful study of this bill in con-
nection with existing conditions here
and abroad" Senator Simmons said,
makes It perfectly clear that It. was
framed with a view to maintaining
present prices and to enable the in
dustnes which it protects to further
advance these excessively high prices
without mourning the risk OF foreign
competition.
u, think there can be no doubt" he
added, that the potential rates OF
this bill are almost If not quite
double those of the present law"
Senator simmons asserted that the
"rule manifestly adopted and fol-
lowed" by the Finance Committee in
fixing rates violates every theory or
principle of protection heretofore ad-
vocated or proclaimed by the cham
pons of protection, including the Re-
publican Party in this country, and,
with the super added rate making
powers conferred upon the President
makes rate fixing almost as much q
matter of political and personal
patronage as the distribution of Fed
eral offices.
"This section of the BILL" the
speaker continued, undoubtedly
gives the definition of the principle
upon which rates are made, and it /:
the difference in condition of compe'
tition in trade. Not to equalize diff
ferences based on cost of production
here and abroad. Not to equalize diff
ferences based on cost plus a reason
able profit equally accorded to the do
mestic producer and the foreign pro
ducer. Not to equalize differences II
intrinsic value at all, but to measure
| the differences in competition IL
trade. That Is to fix a rate whiCl
will bring up the foreigners price t
the price at which the American pro
ducer sells his product in the Ameri
can market, without any reference t.
what part of that price represent
production cost and how much of /
represents profit.
"The theory of the tariff bill
that however high the selling price o
the American article is, however eX
tortionate the profit covered up i
that price may be, the price of tn
foreign article is to be raised so as t
make the two articles competitive"

friendship of Kane and the breaking
up OF his home.
The denunciation of Kane by the
attorney for Stein was severe. lie

of Stein and betraying that confidence.
The defendant was continued on
the stand when court opened TINS
morning and there were many resi-
dents of Lyndhurst, the home OF the
Kanes and Stems, in court. Kane
categorically denied all wrong doing.
He said he had lent money to her
as an act Of mercy because Stein did
not have the manhood to ask for IL
himself and had sent his wife.
He admitted introducing her to q
photographer that she might have
her pictures taken for the managers
when she tried to get into the movies,
hut denied he paid for them. AS 10
caressing her at the parties that
were referred to, he said he probably
matted her on the back of the shoui-
der, as it was n habit he had.
Kane also denied having shown Mrs.
Stein his bank books, as she testified,
which showed him to be worth $4,000.
His interest in her, he explained, was
solely because she was a friend OF his
wife and Mrs. Kane had been kind to
her.
