TARIFF WAR HTNTED.
French Action Raises Difficult Status
In Diplomatic Relations.

4
| Apparently at an impasse in nego
tiations for a new mostfavored.na
| ton commercial treaty to remove
| French tariff barriers against Ameri
can goods, France and the United
| States today faced a difficult status
| in their governmental trade relations
| which, in the viewpoint of some
American officials. verged toward tbs
| possible development of a tariff wal
| between the two countries.
| While it was declared at the State
Department there would be little de
| lay in the formulation of the American
reply to the rejection by France of the
American proposal for the new COM
mercial agreement, little solution OF
the situation was promised by the
answer of this Government. AS the
tariff act prohibits the negotiation OF
treaties on any basis in connection
with tariffs except with equal treat
ment for all nations. this limitation
upon the powers of the President is
expected to prevent acceptance Of the
French proposals.
u. s. Tariff Limitations.
Washington for a two weeks vacation
at his home in st. Paul, Mimi, without
having an opportunity to discuss the
French note with President Coolidge,
the limitations of the tariff act are
considered by the State Department
officials so clear and binding that this
phase undoubtedly would be stressed
in the American reply.
The French communication was
withheld from publication by the de-
partment under the rule Of courtesy
r;x
ultaneous publication of such COM
munications by the originative gov
ernment. But. although the Washing.
ton officials had no opportunity for Ie.
tailed consideration of the note, aston
ishment was indicated by them that
the French foreign Office was not fully
advised as to the limitatory provisions
Of the tariff act.
The nature Of the French proposals
was assumed to mean that the
French officials had not been cogni-
Zant of these phases of the American
law since there could have been no
point suggesting to the Washington
Government a course of action 1t
could not follow within the law.
Penalty Clauses i'm Act.
Although it also was indicated the
fTencn government PROBABLY was
unaware Of the retaliatory provisions
of the tariff act which grants the
President the right to impose penalty
duties or even absolute embargoes
against the imports Of countries exer-
| cising tariff determinations against
American goods, it was regarded as
certain no mention of these imposi-
tions would be made in the American
answer
But the possibility of the use OF
these penalty provisions for the first
time to meet the situation of the
| French tariff schedules was under
seriously increasing consideration by
the Washington officials. 1t was indi.
sated, however. that the formal CORE
spondence between the two govern
ments had not yet reached any stage
of an open threat Of retaliatorJ
measures.

Park and Planning Commits
sion May Refer Matter to
Special Committee.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. which today
began a three-day meeting to discuss
important city planning problems
that have been under study during the
Summer, probably will decide to refer
to a committee for further delbera.
ton the recommendation submitted
by experts for the layout of a system
Of major thoroughfares to take care
of the future needs Of the city.
After having been in session for two
hours this morning officials of the
commission indicated they would not
undertake to pass final judgment on
this subject at this time. 1t is prob
able that they will set aside the No
vember meeting for a more detailed
study and instruct a committee of
several members to devote the inter-
vening time to a close analysis of the
suggestions Of l.. d. Tilton, the con-
sultant engaged to map out the pro-
posed system.
Details Not Published.
Although the details Of the various
recommendations relating to major
thoroughfares have not been made
public, It was explained that the goal
aimed at is to provide an adequate
number of direct arteries of travel
through the city and into the regional
area of Maryland and Virginia sur.
rounding the District.
One particular problem under con-
sideration is whether there should be
another bridge to carry through
traffic across Rock Creek some dis
tance north OF Calvert street. One
definite suggestion is that a high-level
bridge be constructed across the valley
in line with Tilden and Upshur
streets to provide a cross town route
for trucks, which are not permitted in
Rock Creek Park, or for other through
traffic to enable it to avoid the wind
ing trip down into the park.
Meets With Arts Group.
It is probable that IL the commits.
sion decides to refer the whole SUBJ
ject to committee for additional
study during the next two months
various details would be made
public from time to time.
The commission Is devoting this
afternoon to a meeting with the Fine
Arts Commission to discuss the ap.
proach to the new Arlington Memo.
rial Bridge. One suggestion that will
be gone into is whether there should
be an underpath to enable traffic
coming down the Rock Creek and Pc.
tomac parkway to avoid crossing the
path Of the traffic to and from the
new bridge.
One of the most important sessions
of this monthly meeting will be to-
morrow. when the commission will
devote the entire day to study of
the report Of Earl o. Mills on the
street railway transportation needs
Of the future.

COLORADO STRIKE
RECALLS LUDL0W
MURDERS IN 1914
Women, Children Burn
ed Alive by Thugs
By LELAND OLDS.
Federated Press)

Will there be civil war in Colorado
as a result of the coal strike which
at the end of the first week was still
growing with at least 10000 miners
involved? Not unless the big cor
porations which control the mines are
allowed to secure sufficient armed
forces to start something. At least
that is the lesson Of the last great
struggle fought out by the miners in
1884. The story of that conflict,
eliminating in militia attack on the
Ludlow tent colony in which women
and II children were killed and the
arrival of federal troops, bears wit
ness to the courage Of the present
strikers and their leaders.
Secret meetings held in the hills at
night characterized the days leading
up to the 1913 strike. Organizers
who attempted to get into the towns
were met by the town marshals, em-
ployes of the company, and turned
back. Men discovered to have any
connection with the United Mine
Workers were summarily elected.
Yet when the strike call was issued
for Sept. 2. from rs per cent to 30
per cent of the miners answered.
When evicted from their homes on
the 3-day notice clause in their leases
they pitched tent colonies near the
mines or at the canyon entrances by
which strikebreakers must pass.
Armed Thugs.
The operators secured, and armed
large numbers of guards who were
deputized by the sheriff. Included in
these private armies were Baldwin
Felts detectives fresh from the strike
fields of West Virginia and Michigan.
Machine guns were purchased from
the West Virginia Coal Operators
Assn, guns which had made labor
history at Paint Creek in 1912. The
strikers were furnished with arms by
the United Mine Workers. Prior to
the strike a union organizer had been
shot by Baldwin Felts detective in
the streets of Trinidad. The miners
must be prepared to defend them
selves.
Between the beginning Of the strike
and the arrival of the state militia
Oct. 20, there were numerous battles
in which the casualties were largely
on the union side. In one battle the
operators brought up an armored
auto with 2 machine guns.
