1900 VOTE TO IGNORE
ARGENTINE STATUTE
Merchants and Manufacturers
Agree to Disobey Pension Law
in Face of Fines.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, May 10.-Fifteen
hundred manufacturers and mer-
chants, assembled last night under
the auspices of the Argentine Indus
trial Union, resolved to disobey the
new pension law. They decided that
they would neither pay their own
contributions to the pension fund nor
collect from employees contributions,
as called for under the terms of the
law.
Their action was taken on the eve
of the last day fixed for payment
of the initial contributions and not
withstanding the fact that as the
meeting began it became known that
President D'Alvear had signed a de-
cree postponing this date. Announce
ment of the presidents decision was
coldly received.
The resolution drawn up by the
manufacturers and merchants sets
forth that it is impossible to comply
with the law, and the government is
petitioned once more to suspend it
until it can be repealed and a new
one substituted.
The penalty for disobeying the pen
sion law is fine of from 100 to 500
pesos daily.

0-CENT. TARIFF ON
BUTTER is PROPOSED
Vital TO Minnesota Dairyman,
Says John Brandt, Cream
cries President.

A movement to obtain an
emergency tariff of 20 cents a
pound on imported butter with
corresponding increases on other
dairy products has been started
by John Brandt of Litchfeld.
president Of the Minnesota Co
operative Creameries Association.
Mr.. Brandt recently held a
series of conferences at Washing
ton and received so much favor
able reaction to his proposal
that he is confident of success,
if the dairy farmers will back his
plan up with urgent requests
that legislation be passed.
Recent price decreases for
dairy products have been due
to a flood of products from Den
mark and other European coun-
tries. Foreign sales agencies find
the American marketing profit
able, despite the present tariff
Of s cents. The rate Of exchange
which helps the importer is di-
rectly responsible.
While in Washington. Mr..
Brandt presented the plight OF
the Minnesota dairy farmer to
President Coolidge. The Presi-
dent has the power on the advice
Of the tariff commission to in
crease the dairy products tariff
to IL cents. The commission.
however. must make an extensive
investigation. To do this will
cause a delay which the dairy
men can i'll afford to tolerate.
After having talked with a
large number of congressman.
Mr.. Brandt decided to concen-
trate on an effort to obtain emer-
gency legislation. This will
avoid the possibility Of opening
the entire tariff question, step
which few members Of Congress
would consider.
Mr.. Brandt has assurance that
proposals to increse dairy pro-
ducts tariffs will be embodied in
a bill to be introduced in a few
days.

the stuff to face deadlier enc
