SENATE VOTES TO
RETAIN COMMITTEE
DUTIES ON STOCK

WASHINGTON, June 27.--The ag
ricultural schedule in the administra-
tion tariff bill was attacked today in
the senate by Senator Walsh of Mas
sachusetts, Democratic member of
the finance committee. and defended
by Chairman McCumber of that COM
mittee and Senator Gooding. Republi-
can of Idaho. chairman of the Re
publican agricultural tariff bloc. The
debate continued for several hours,
with the result that none of the COM
mittee amendments in the schedule
was voted upon.
The paragraph dealing with duties
on cattle and fresh beef and veal
finally came under consideration and,
without a record vote, amendments
by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
to reduce the committee rates were
rejected He sought to substitute
$40 cents pound for II cents a
pound on live cattle weighing less
than 1850 pounds: / lilo cents a
pound for the two cents a pound on
such cattle weighing more than 1850,
and cents a pound for fresh beef
and veal in place of the committee
rate of 3ta cents.
Asserting that the bill was "an at
tempt to made raid on the con-
sumers of the country such as never
before has been dreamed of" Senator
Walsh declared that if effective. the
duties proposed on meats, cereals, po-
tatoes and apples alone would in
crease the cost to the consumers by
$1.316.0 900, 600 annually. or about $Sf
for the average family of six. He
asserted also that rates were lowered
on agricultural products of the Demo-
cratic states of the South and said
it was Uncomfortable that a political
party would carry partisanship to
such an extent
Senator Walsh said that he did not
know of any schedule in the bill that
was more "indefensible'' than the
agricultural schedule: that would re-
suit in such serious consequences"
to the American people and to the
economic situation in this country
and he expressed tfe hope that the
committee majority would follow in
this case its policy of making reduce
tions in rates originally written into
the bill.
Replying for the committee. Sena-
tor McCumber declared he was will
ing to take his share of the RESPONSE
bility for the increase over the house
rate, adding that they would have
been made, bloc or no bloc. He said
he was glad of the assistance that
the bloc had rendered lin doing JUS
tice to the farmer.

SENATE PASSES ARMY
BILL NOW READY FOR
PRESIDENTIAL OKAY
Authorizes Appropriation
Of $7,500,000 For New
Work on Muscle Shoals
Project Dam.
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 27-Presi-
dent Harding's signature was all that
was required tonight for authorizing
the appropriation of $7,500.000 fol
new work on the Muscle Shoals dam
at Muscle Shoals, Ala. The army
bill containing authority Of congress
to spend the money on that project
effective October 1. next, was passed
today by the senate without change
in language already approved by the
house and by conferees of the two
legislative bodies.
During final senate consideration,
however, the measure at certain stag
es was threatened with being sent
back to the house for further con-
ference, Senator Norris of Nebraska,
chairman of the agriculture commit
tee, moving that the senate disagree
with the house provision delaying
expenditure of the money until
October. He was finally over-ruled
by the senate on vote of % to S2.
The Nebra ska senator led the at
tack on the house amendment and
was joined by Senator Wadsworth of
New York, chairman of the military
committee in charge of the bill, and
by Senator Underwood of Alabama,
the Democratic leader, in declaring
the house action unfortunate" The
latter two senators, however, diff
fered with Senator Norris on his mo-
tion to disagree, declaring that il it
prevailed the bill would be returned
to the house and the appropriation
probably would be jeopardized in that
procedure.
Senator Underwood recalled past
occurrences where differences be-
tween the senate and house had re-
suited disastrously to Muscle Shoals
appropriations and reminded his coll
leagues that the army bill had to be
on the statute books by July 1.
The first executive meeting of the
agricultural committee since it con-
cluded its examination of the pro-
posal from Henry Ford, the Alabama
Power company, Frederick Engstrum
and Charles l.. Parsons for developing
the Shoals properties, also was held
today.

Customs Officers
get 2,4O0 Bottles
Of LIQUOR In Raid

NEW YORK, June 27-Customs in
spectors today raided three vessels
in port, two flying the American flag
and the other a Norwegian freighter,
and confiscated 2,400 bottles of al
legged liquor. all of which was de-
ciared to have been smuggled aboard.
The ships searched were the United
States shipping board steamship,
President Arthur, operated by the
United States lines; the Ward liner
Siboney and the Barfond, a Nor
wegian cargo ship.
The raiders found the President
Arthur's cargo of liquor in tact, but
when they searched the hold and
other parts of the ship they found loo
cases of alleged liquor, which they
said had been smuggled aboard. Of
ficers and members of the crew de-
MED any knowledge as to how 1t was
brought aboard. None of the liquor
seized was sealed or on the ships
manifests. The raid took place in
Hoboken, y. j.
The Ward liner Siboney and the
Barfond were visited at their docks
in Brooklyn. A search for drugs
aboard the former vessel failed of
result but the inspectors located
about 500 bottles of alleged liquor.
This was confiscated when no owner
for it could be found. A similar
quantity of contraband was seized
aboard the Norwegian ship. No ar
rests were made.

Pennsy Railroad
Enters Wage Cut
Pact With Union

PHILADELPHIA, June 27-An-
nouncement was made today by the
Pennsylvania railroad. that agree
mcnts on reduction of wages have
been reached between the manage
ment and the elected representatives
of 42,500 Of its employees. The settle
ments affect the maintenance of way
department numbering 39,400 men,
and the employees of the telegraph
and signal department, numbering
800 men. The revised scales becoms
effective July /. They involve re-
ductions which have been mutually
agreed upon,' the announcement
stated.
No figures were given out by the
company. The cause of it's negotia-
tions with committees of its en-
ployes was because the Pennsylvania
was not a party to the reductions
asked by other railroads and granted
by the United States railroad labor
board.
The Pennsylvania statement fur
ther said:
This successful outcome of the
wage negotiations with the main
tenanee of way and telegraph and
signal employees constitutes one of the
most notable achievements thus far
recorded for the Pennsylvania rail-
roads employees representation plan"

Would Authorize
Rail Labor Board
To Rescind Order

WASHINGTON, June PA Joint
resolution which would authorize the
railroad labor board to rescind its
decision reducing wages of railway
employees, effective July 1, was in
troduced in the house today by Rep
resentative Burke, Republican of
Pennsylvania, a member of the Order
of Railroad Conductors.
The Burke resolution embodied a
declaration that 'the decision of the
board savors so much of one sided
justice and has caused such dissatis-
faction and discomfort that a strike
seems both imminent and inevitable" !"
It also asserted that "the standard
o fliving can not be maintained upon
of living can not be maintained upon
board of % cents an hour or $1.S4 a
day"
Declaring that the reduction in
wages proposed would affect 1900 900
workers, the resolution asserted that
the wages fixed by the board would
institute "a Chinese standard of
labor which would be repugnant to
the American people, who believe in
just wages and decent working con-
ditions.''

FARGO. n. D.. June 27.-One of
North Dakota's most perplexing po-

campaign of silence'-ended to-
night with interest in tomorrow's S
statewide primary centered in the
fate of Senator P. J. McCumber,

In measure, too, the election will
give the verdict of the people on the
halfyear record of the Independent

state officials who had Non-P Partisan
league endorsement.
Tomorrow Frazier is again in the
political scramble, this time for the
Republican senatorial nomination in
opposition to Senator McCumber and
Ormsby McHarg, the latter McCum-
ber's former private secretary. The
Non Partisan league state conven-
ton endorsed Frazier.
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates will be nominated for all state
offices, as well as for senator and
congress.
There are contests in both parties,
all down the line, but as the Nom

for return to political power through
Republican nominations, first inter-

GOVERNMENT
WILL GUARD
CITIZENS, IN
STRIKE
Will Use Force, If Need
Be, To End Dispute
Hope For Conference Of
Operators and Miners.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Assur-
ances multiplied today that the at
tempts of the administration to bring
about a settlement of the bituminous
coal strike have neither been dropped
nor abated. From the White House
came the word that President Hard
ing felt difficult and delicate nego-
tiation to be necessary before the
spokesman of the striking miners ana
the Representatives of the mine own
ers could be got together for wage
agreement. and resumption of work.
Further, there were intimations that
government intervention, now con-
fined to persuasion and suggestion,
might in some way become pointed
and forcible should the public safety
and welfare demand early settlement
and the present means prove futile in
bringing it about.
Meanwhile, John L. Lewis. presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, remained in Washington
although there was no definite inti-
nation that his prolonged stay after
MS Monday meeting with the presl-
dent was at official suggestion.
There We're intimations that Off
Gals We're considering a plan to bring
a few representative operators to-
gether with Mr.. Lewis and other re-
sponsible leaders of the miners union
for the purpose of discussing inform
ally prospects for holding a confer
ence authorized to make a wage
agreement. In all the discussions It
was fatty declared that the govern
ment would not announce in advance
adoption of any plan for dealing with
the strike but that some action might
be expected.
Latest estimates in the possession
of the government indicate there are
still approximately 100000 miners on
strike, about $1,000 of this number
being non-union men. On July /, it
was stated today by government Off
cials, the surplus coal supply will be
at a danger point. Already, they
said, the anthracite supply is ex-
hausted and within week 1t is prob
able the bituminous supply will be
around 10,0o0,000 tons, which, in the
opinion of government experts, rep
resents critical situation.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Seizur
of 40 American employees of the Cor
tez Oil company at Tampico, Mexico
reported to the state department to.
day as security for ransom of 15,,
600 pesos, created a stir in officia
circles in Washington.
Lacking further information as
to what happened behind what is ap-
parently a rigid censorship at Tam
pico, however there was little to in
dicate tonight whether the incident
would lead to any change of atti-
tude here toward the Obregon gov
ernment in Mexico.
In fact at the White House II
was said that relations between the
United States and Mexico were not
likely to be affected in any way by
the bandit outbreak and the recent
kidnapping for ransom near Cuerna-
vaca of Bruce Bielaski. formerly
chief of the bureau of INVESTIGATION OF
the department Of justice.
Until it is known that the incl
dents are not a matter of domestic
politics in Mexico, conceived by en-
emies of the Obregon government to
embarass its relations with the Unit
ed States or until that government
had been proved unequal to accord
ing such protection to Americans and
their property as the occasion de-
mands. there appears to be no dis
position here to move in any other
than a diplomatic way.
Beyond a brief report stating that
in addition to the two score American
employees. a quarter of a million dol
lars worth of destructible property
OF the Cortez Oil company was being
held as security for the payment de-
manded, no other word had reached
the state department tonight con-
corning the bandit action in Tampico.
Both the embassy in Mexico City
and the consul at Tampico wer<
promptly instructed to press for inn
mediate action by the Mexican fed
eral authoritieS-for adequate protec-
ton for American lives and prop
erta and punishment of the perpe-
traitors of the outrage.
The consul reported that the rebel
general Gorozave, with 240 WE'LL
armed men, held the property and the
40 Americans and had been given As
hours from Sunday morning when
the raid occurred, for payment as
demanded. The time limit elapsed
this morning. 1t was expected that
further word would come at any mo-
ment, showing what finally had oc-
Cured.
There were indications that state
officials were not eX-
actIy sure just what sort of a stu
alton they had to meet.
At least so far as known the state
had not tonight reported
the Cortez company incident to either
army OF navy officials or inquired
as to the availability of navy ships
to send to the, scene. There is no
American warship in waters ada
cent to Tampico, the ships being at
Guantamo. Cuba, and Rear Admiral
Coles. with three ships of his special
service squadron. in Canal Zone wa
ters. For this reason the navy depart
the seizure of the oil camp and its
American employees.
The new situation in the oil region
overshadowed for the moment the
seizure of Bruce Bielacki. No word
had come from the embassy today to
show progress of the efforts of the
Mexican federal authorities to OBJ
tain the release of the captive.
