REPORT ON LOG TARIFF
VOIDED BY DAUGHERJY
Commissions First Finding Sub
mitted to Coolidge Held
to Be Erroneous.

| The Tariff Commission has been re-
versed in its first report to the Presi-
dent under flexible provisions of the
tariff act by the Attorney General.
! to whom the President submitted the
matter.
In an opinion sent to the White
! House Mr.. Daugherty has ruled that
! the commissions construction of the
section laying import duties on logs
of cedar. fir, spruce and western hem
| lock was incorrect. The President
has returned the commissions report
with the opinion to the commission.
with instructions to proceed in ac-
cordance herewith.
The commissions action which was
overturned by the Department of Jus
tice was taken late in August upon
the application of log-buying inter-
ests of the Pacific northwest. which
sought reduction of the full fifty
per cent permitted by the flexible
provisions at the rate of 81 a thou
sand board feet on logs of the spe-
cies mentioned. The law provides
that the duty shall not apply it the
nation. province or political subdfyi-
sion from which the commodity is
imported has imposed any restric-
tion on its expectation within twelve
months.
After public hearings the commits
sion voted four to two that the rate
,applica tion was for penalty purposes
and could not be disturbed by the
commission.

Protest Barring Cost
Of Religious Services
At Military Funerals

Congress probably will be asked
TO RENE ~ a situation caused by a
recent decision OF the controller
general that there Is no authority
Of law for the payment of eX-
penses incurred in religious serv-
ices at the funeral OF a deceased
member of the Army, Navy or Ma
rine Corps. Heretofore these serv-
ices have been included in the
legitimate expenses in such cases.
In his decision in a recent case
the controller general held that
only such expenses may be al
lowed as pertain to the actual
preparation, transportation and in
tcrment of the bodies of deceased
members of the military forces,
and the items claimed for celebra-
tlon OF mass and to the director
of the musical band do not COM
prise proper expenses within the
intent of the act as construed"
lhe controller general explained
that the holding of funeral serv-
ices OF some kind, while usual, yet
comprises a distinct feature from
the preparation and burial. and
really are expressive OF the re-
rEtous sentiments of relatives or
friends and are not necessarily to
ne paid for. Apart from this aspect
or the case. 1t can readily be seen
Shat the character of the services
varies extremely and involves eX-
pehSeS not possible of a SatiSfac-
tory G"t"rmination'

HERE CONTRARY TO LAW
Secretary Davis Regards Admission
of Aliens as Violatoion of
Immigration Regulations.

Secretary of Labor Davis announced
today he construed admission of a
number of laborers from JugosIavia

mission of the laborers under con-
tract.
The aliens from Jugoslavia would
not be admissible until July /, next,
in the event their admisSibility was

constituting Il precedent in interpre-
tHtions by the Secretary of Labor of
the law, although aliens have been
held up at immigration ports before
tor alleged violation of the contract
Ia Dor law.
