President Orders Tariff Commission
to Investigate Complaints.

washington, ~. u, Mniu W.
President Harding instructed the
tariff commission late yesterday TO
proceed with an investigation Of COM
plants against certain prevailing i'm
port duties. In SO doing he broke q
deadlock in the commission as to pro-
cedure under flexible provisions OF the
tariff act and cleared up misunder-
standing among commission members
as to his views on the intent of the
law.
The message was the second sent TO
the commission by the President since
it became apparent the members were
hoplessly split as to the advisabil.ty OF
beginning hearings.
Mr.. Harding bad been asked wheth-
er the commission should proceed with
a general inquiry, with a view to
working out a scientific revision OF
rates, or whether II should only con-
slider duties on which applications for
revision had been filed.
His first telegraphed reply was
taken up at a meeting of the commits
sion Saturday but was not con-
strued the same by all members. The
result was that after announcement
had been made that the commission
would begin investigations, letters
containing the formal statements on
the inquiries were recalled from the
postoffice.
Chairman Marvin, aside from an
nouncing that the President again had
sent the commission q telegram and
that orders had been issued 10 place
the letters in the mails. declined to go
into the matter. or to indicate who
had asked Mr.. Harding to re-state his
position.

New York, March i9.-Oils and
equipment shares were the leaders in
the market today.
In the oil group attention was chief
" directed toward stocks which have
the best possibilities of early divi-
dend increases. Among these were Sin
clair Oil, Maryland and Producers
and Refiners. In the latter a strong
pool was recently formed that was
back of the first advance from 30 up.
The trading in Sinclair, as it rose
from around SO TO 80 was extremely
heavy, the Street feeling sure that the
dividend would be raised from the
present 50 TO at least, So and possibly
81. Talk of stock dividend was back

New high records were made in
Baldwin Locomotive, American Loco

were simply going by the apparent
fact that despite their advance. the

enue. An examination for income tax
auditors will be held April Z, the let.
ter states, and the chamber is asked
TO aid in securing applicants.
To raise the standard of income
tax auditors, Mr.. Chatterton states
the experience requirements this year
will be doubled. Applicants must have
had at least four years experience in
double entry bookkeeping or account
ing, including three years of profit and
loss accounting. Because of the in
