CHICAGO, ILL.,. April 11.--George
r. Meyercord, chairman OF the exc
cutive committee Of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association, declared
in a public statement today that to
leave the tariff on a basis OF foreign
valuation would be an economic
crime" at this time when the well
fare Of employees in $4,000 fac
tories in the United States depends
upon American Valuation.
ut was my privilege, while in

figures on American industry COM
piled by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board based upon the CEN
sus Of manufacturers taken two
years ago by the u. 8. Census
Bureau. These figures show very
vividly the transcendent Importance
Of the tariff to American prosperity.
According to the census reports
there were $4,000 manufacturing
plants in the United States. or this
number only six hundred factories
employed more than 1000 workers
each, or one-ffth of one per cent Of

The new traiff bill reported to the
Senate yesterday was prepared
under exceptional circumstances.
The public. engrossed in other
things, has exercised little influence
on its writing. The Senate commit
tee to an exceptional degree has
been let alone.
It is. therefore. something OF a
shock to learn, II the analysis OF The
Associated Press is accurate. that
the rates of the bill are, on the
whole, higher than those of the
Payne-Aidrich law. and particular
ly that the wool duties (Shedule X
are higher than those Of the House

to grid themselves for another bat

reelection It is scarcely fair to han
dicap him as was President Taft in
1912 by the Payne-Aldrich act.
But descending from the general
to the particular, IL is pleasing to
note that the so-called American

A proof of his assertion that the railroads were
IN operated more efficiently under Federal than un-
der prvae control Mr. McAdoo lays stress on the fact
that the private managers after the return OF the
roads TO them had to appeal the Interstate Com
merce Commission for aid in meeting their problems
That statement is true but the way is presented by
the former Director carries quite an erroneous
Impression. Daniel Willard, president OF the Baltimore
ana ohio in his testimony the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. tells the whole story which Is
NOT At ALI to the dlscredit the railroad owners and
shows up Mr. McAdoo as a witness who seruples at
nothing to carry conviction.
The transportation OF 1920 specifically provides
tha4 in the case OF railroad emergency, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission may take certain steps to
meet the situation
When the private owners into possession OF
their properties on March l. 1920, they found about
SO 600 eastern in the west and about 6oooO
surplus box cars the east sent there by the Federal
railroad administration The box were needed in
the west for grain movements and the coal cars in the
east for the carriage Of fuel
In view OF the great Industrial activity at that time
necessatng heavy demands upon the roads the own
ers found 1t impossible with the situation be-
oueathed to them by the government and they took
advantage Of law provided for Just such emersen-
oies A Car Service Committee appointed by the
roads themselves which co-operated with the commits
sion in bringing order the chaotic car conditions
resulting from the Federal regime
Despite those dfnculues and the further acute hand
can OF the outlaw railroad strike of April 1920 this
roads under private management were able to show
record OF 900 ton miles in 1920 per cent
more than the amount moved by substantially the sam
