NEW TARIFF LAYS BURDEN ON PEOPLE,
 ASSERTS SENATOR
Simmons Adds Majority Wage Pro- vision Absurd and Stulti-
 hes Makers.

Washington, May I2.-Taxes that would be imposed by the pending tariff bill would be as real as those imposed by the revenue bill and prob- ably as great, from three to four bii- lions of dollars, Senator Simmons oi North Carolina, ranking democrat on the Senate finance committee, de- Clares in a minority report filed in the Senate.
 They must be paid by all the peo- ple," the report says, just as those in the revenue bill must be paid by iall the people, and not by the benehciaries who have demanded and got them. The people must not only pay the taxes on imports which go directly into the treasury but they prices of all things they buy and consume.
 ''So far as the special interests arc concerned, it goes without saying the taxes imposed are both satisfying and comforting. On the other hand the people view this bill as a measure full of mischief and dangerous possi- bilities, loaded with innumerable bur dens for them and their posterity They will be satisfied with nothing short of a full exposure through discussion of this attempted outrage, inspired by the desire to placate the subsidized interests at their expense"
 Senator Simmons asserts that the rule for the measure Of protection found in the bill is defined in the document itself as the difference in the selling price in this country and abroad.
 As to the flexible tariff, the report says the power to further increase operate as an invitation to invoke the exercise of these extra legislative powers when the prescribed rates are not sufhceint to safeguard the protect ed producers against the risk of for eign competitoin in case they may wish to raise their prices above the level of the protection against such competition afforded by the rates written in the bill"
 Senator Simmons says the state ment in the majority report that the purpose of the bill IS to permit Amer ican industry to pay wages sufficient to enable American workingmen to maintain the American standard of living Sounds rather strange, in view of the fact that these self-same in dustries are today engaged in an in tensive drive to reduce present wage standards" He adds that the stand ard of wages in foreign competing countries is today more nearly equal the American standard than ever be- fore; that the cost of products bears a much slighter relation to the daily

Washington, May I2.-Weekly pro- duction of coal apparently has struck "a temporary level above the 4,ooo,- 900 ton mark the United States Geological Survey announced this week in connection with its weekly summary of the industry. Early re- ports for the week ending May 6, the statement said, indicated that produc- ton of coal would aggregate 4,I5o,- GOO tons, approximately the same as in the previous week Production was confined almost entirely to bitu- minous ,ti was declared, production of anthracite remaining practically at zero"
 Based on its reports of production, the survey said, the strike situation appears to be Essentially unchanged"

Defeat of Senator New Is Pleasing to
 Organized Labor

The defeat of Senator New, of In diana, for renomination is believed to mark the beginning of the end of the reactionary epidemic which has af- f1icted congress for the past four years.
 Senator New was one of the lead ing spokesmen for the special inter ests, and at the same time was an especial favorite of the administra- ton. He has shown consistent at titude of hostility toward the work ing people, to whom his passing brings much satisfaction.
 MT. Beveridge, who defeated New, has on numerous occasions taken the side of the oppressors of the wage earners, but if he should be elected it is not believed he will be so stren- uously reactionary as New.

Cu1nrnins-Esch Bill
 Faulty, Says Carter
Firemen's Chief Also Criticises the Railway Labor Board at
 Convention.

Houston, Tex, May I2.-William s. Carter, president of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen in his ad- dress before the Brotherhood con- vention, declared the Cummins- Esch bill unsatisfactory to railroad en- ployes and said the United States Railroad Labor Board delayed adjust ments of complaints.
 President Carter charged that the majority of officials of the persent government were unfavorable to la bor
 Issues before the convention. 1t was announced are: The proposed anal garnation with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; the proposed alliance with the miners; participa tion in political campaigns; the atti tude the brotherhood will adopt to- ward the decision and practices of the United States Railroad Labor Board; erection of brotherhood building; establishment and nainten ance of tubercular sanitarium; CO., operative buying and selling and the establishment and maintenance of a labor press.
 None of the delegates would pre- dict how long the convention would last, but many thought the business could be completed inside of a month. They recalled, however, that the con vention of 1919 lasted five weeks.

"I acknowledge myself to be a wet" t'."-Congressman Stafford,

Mr. Nelson Would the Senator want me 10 tell him how near he could travel to the usury law and still avoid its penalties? In my boyhood days 1 knew man in Wisconsin, a rich old farmer, who made his living by usury. He had this favorite way of doing if man wanted to borrow money: He would shake his head and say, "Money is scarce; 1 do not know whether I can get you any or not" Then he would take the man out in the yard and show him a cow or a steer--a COW that was worth SEQ in those days-and he would say to him, "If you will buy this COW and pay me $40 for it, maybe l can loan you hundred dollars" That was one way of committing usury, l might cite similar instances in the case of actual fraud. They are plen- tiful. The trouble is that away back of it the consciences of these big business enterprises have become cal loused, and they need religious in- struction rather than legislation to guide them in the path of honor and rectitude.-Congressional Record.
