Republican conferees completed yes
terday their task of rewriting the
tariff bill. and it was
announced that the measure and con-
ference report would be presented to
the House next Tuesday. Action by
the House is looked for on Wednes-
day. and then the report will go to
the Senate. Those in charge OF the
bill hope to have it in the Presidents
hands by the end Of next week.
American valuation as the basis for
assessing tariff duties was discarded,
the House managers yielding on this
and accepting the so-called flexible
tariff as a substitute after that had
been broadened so as to give the
President authority to declare Amer
lean valuation in any cases where in
vestigation showed that an American
industry could not be protected by
assessing duties on the foreign valu-
alton. Authority for the President to
increase or decrease rates also was
approved.
Thefe was compromise on all of
the high spots in the bin. In the
case OF sugar the conferees agreed
on q duty of 2.2o cents a pound. or
176 cents a pound on Cuban raw
sugar, as against the Senate rates of
2.s0 cents and 1874 cents, respec-
lively. The present rates are 2 cents

AS far as | am able to learn, no

expedition of 1921 and 1922. Little

ANTHRACITE PEACE
VOTED BY MINERS
Convention Ratifies Pact With
Employers, Sending l5o. 900
Men to Work.

wILKES-BARRE, Pa. September
s.-The anthracite wage agreement
sending the miners back to work at
once. after more than five months of
idleness, was ratified by the tri-dis-
trict convention Of the hard coal dig
gers tonight.
Under the agreement 1851 mine
workers return to work at the rate Of
wages they received when they sus-
pended mining on March 81. The new
contract will be in effect until Au-
gust 81. next year. when another ar
rangement is to be negotiated "in the
light" of a report TO be made by q
commission which both sides recon-
mend be created by Congress to in
vestigate every phase Of the anthra-
cite industry.
The peace pact was ratified by a
viva voce vote. Immediately after
the ratification a motion was unani-
mously adopted lifting the suspension
at once, and the men will be permitted
to return to work on Monday. As
soon as the convention adjourned
leaders Of the United Mine Workers
Immediately made preparation to have
the formal contract signed by both
sides at Scranton on Monday.
Labor Shortage Expected.
When the men return to work the
suspension will have lasted 163 days,
one day less than the great strike of
1902, which continued from May IL
to October 20, inclusive. The suspen-
sion, which was never officially desig-
mated as a strike by the union, was
free from serious disorder. None of
the coal companies made any attempt
to mine coal, but employed men to
keep the mines free from water and
gas.
It is expected that full production
will not be obtained for several weeks.
Some Of the mines are not in the best
condition and 1t is probable short
age Of labor will be experienced at the
start in some sections due largely to
the fact that many men left the
regions to seek to work in other places.
The end came after long day Of
OEAlO1y 4A "AASAA SAoo0 AOS VI against
the peace pact put forth their best
speakers. International President
John L. Lewis Of the United Mine
Workers, who had been devoting all
his time to the anthracite situation
since the Cleveland settlement in the
bituminous coal fields. made the con-
cluding speech in favor Of ratification.

Some Oppose Pact.
Enoch Williams Of Scranton, SEQ
retary of district /, opposed the
one.year agreement, and declafed he
was against the pact because it
failed ito include : the check-off, the
eight-hour day and some Of the other
nineteen demands formulated by the
shamokin. convention last january.
He urged going back to the operators.
but said he would abide by the ac-
ton OF the conventions.
