LIMITED CHANGES
IN TARIFF SEEN
Ti|son Predicts Disappoint-
ment for Many American
Industries.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, March s.-Predicting that
many American industries would be dis
appointed over the limited tariff re-
vision to be made at the special session
of Congress, Representative Tilson of
Connecticut, House Republican leader,
tonight declared only changes necessary
to give adequate tariff protection would
be made.
Many industries, he said, in address
ing the Home Market Club at its twen-
ty-sixth annual dinner, had asked for
unreasonable import duties on competi-
tive articles because Of fears of the fu-
ture and not on the basis of present
needs. He added that they were doomed
to disappointment.
If the present needed revision is Sc
cured. Mr. Tilson said he believed
American industry could be assured
that future Congresses would continue
the same policy of providing adequate
tariff protection as need might arise.
Recent tariff hearings before the
House ways and means committee at
Washington disclosed, the Republican
leader said, that most OF the articles
produced in this country were reason
ably protected under the "basicaliy
sound" tariff act of 1922.
ION the other hand" he continued
many cases were clearly shown to the
committee where changed conditions
have made changes necessary in the
case Of certain articles"
Mr.. Tilson said that farm relief and
tariff were inseparable, but other than
that he did not discuss agricultural
problems. He asserted, however, thai
those charged with drafting the re.
! vision measure were determined TO fine
the line which accurately measure,
the need for protection as shown by
the facts to exist
Without finally deciding the matter
before thorough study of the informa.
ton brought In the hearings, Mr.. Tilsor
said he feared that some Of those pre-.
senting cases before the committed
| took counsel Of their fears rather thar
of their necessities, and in SO doing
asked for too much in order that they
might the more surely receive enough
| or at least that they might not have
taken away from them a portion o.
| that which they already have"

Arabian armed troops crossed the
border Sunday night and attacked
the police barracks at Hittin, eight
miles west of Liberals.
Yesterday the Arabs are reported
to have attacked again at Telpioth
where they are said to have been
repulsed by superior British troops.
Making a pretext of the uprising,
the proclamation of the British high
commissioner Sir John Chancellor
today foreshadows the establishment
of a permanent armed froce to con-
troll this valuable unit of British
imperialism on the road to India,
and an increase in the police forces
throughout the entire country.
In the meanwhile a veritable po-
lice pogrom against the revolving,
Arab masses is being carried on by
the British authorities, with the as
sistance of the Zionists, in all the
working class sections of the cities
and throughout the villages.
Many arrests have been made, the

The campaign Of the Southern

120 Young Workers.
Over 120 of the delegates be-
longed to the youth section, and in
fused the convention with enthusi-
asm and militancy. The youth con-
ference held Sunday night was the
most spirited of all the conferences.
One of the clearest manifestations
of the growing class consciousness
o. the young workers, the speakers
al the conference stressed, are the
ever-increasing number of strikes
led by young workers.
"These strikes develop not only
because of the attitude of the re-
dictionary trade union officials who
prevent the organization of the
young workers, but out of the very
conditions of the young workers
themselves" Bill Seroka pointed out.
"The extra-exploitation of the youth
in the youth departments of heavy
industry, youth occupations and
youth industries often forces them
to declare strike at moment that
does not always coincide with a SIM
liar movement for the adult work
ers." This acts as lever in bring
ing the entire industry on strike, ne
said, pointing to Elizabethton and
Oshawa as examples. s~-
"The new trade union center must
utilize this militancy of the young
workers, and set as one of its most
important tasks the organization of
the American working class youth"
In the field of social insurance,
Clarence Hathaway pointed out, the
United States lags furthest behind,
and the Trade Union Unity League
must make militant demands. He
suggested demands for federal
system of old age pension insurance
administered by a. commission OF
workers representing trade unions,
workers benefit societies and shop
committees; weekly payments at
minimum of $40 a week to all de-
pendent men and women IS years
old and over, and other measures.
Scores of rank and file delegates,
eager to tell of the conditions in
their industries and discuss the pro-
posed program of the new trade
union center and make additional
proposals for strengthening its or
ganization into a powerful weapon
of struggle, were unable to get the
floor Sunday. Over 80 delegates
representing a great diversity of in
dustries participated in the discus
sion which struck a strong revolu-
tionary note and showed keen de-
termination to struggle against the
evils of the present system which
they recounted.
