COAL| T|ON
PROGRAM
FIXED
By International News Service


The lines for a "billion-
dollar" battle over the tariff
were drawn in the Senate to.
day, with a Democratic In
surgent coalition definitely
lined up in opposition to the
Administrations s new bill.
Dc nocrats and insurgents reached
an agreement on a program, the high
point of which is a decision to as
sal the administrative provisions
first, leaving the fight over rates
for the grand climax.
This method is entirely acceptable
to Administration leaders. they say.
SmOOt Confident
eve have no objection whatever
to debating administrative provi-
sions prior to action on the rates" "
said Senator Smoot RO of Utah,
Senatorial parent" of the bill.
"When the Senate does reach the
rates, we have no doubt of the out
come. The bill, as reported. will be
accepted generally. and l hope 1t
will become a law at the special
session"
The Democratic-insurge program
includes the following steps.
Abandonment of the Thomas pro
posal for an immediate fight to
eliminate all industrial increases
from the bill.
Launching of fight against admin
lstrative features.
United opposition to the Reed pro-
vision authorizing conversion of new
rates from a foreign to domestic
valuation basis.
Lengthy debate afterward of all
Industrial schedules. with possible
battle then for elimination Of indus
trial increases.
Certain attacks on a dozen or
more important industrial rates.
United support for the higher
agricultural rates approved by Sen
ate committee. with possible battie
for further increases in some farm
product rates.
Strategy Apparent
The strategy of the Democratic
Insurgent leaders was apparent
. They feared the outcome and effect
Of a direct move now to eliminate
all industrial increases. The orlgi.
nal Borah proposal, limiting tariff
revision to the agricultural schedule
and "related subjects" was defeated
last June by a single-vote margin
Since then. the doors were thrown
wide open to a general tariff re-
vision and many rates, affecting
Democratic communities, were in
creased. 1t appeared certain that
the Senate now would reject the
Borah proposal by an even greater
margin than before, and chiefly by
heavier Democratic OPPOSITION than
on the first vote.

Bitter Senate Battle
FOreseen on Restoring
Manganese Ores Duty

A bitter fight will be waged1 over
manganese in the Senate when that
section of the tariff bill Is reached,
1t became known today.
The issue will be whether the ore
shall remain on the free llsf'
where the last vote of Republicans
on the Finance Committee placed
1t, or restored to the dutiable list.
The fight to retain it on the free
list will he led by Senator Reed
of Pennsylvania. who declares there
is no manganese industry in this
country of importance and that ad-
vocates of the duty are familial'
with the facts.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, ma
jority leader, told the manganese
producers if they could demonstrate
that manganese mines in the Cn1teo
States would he able to increase
their output materially or that
they had deposits to warrant 4
protective duty he would vote 10
retain the product on the dut1ahle
list, where it was placed by the
Fordney- McCumber act.
Now, it is said government re-
ports show manganese lis not In
the ground IN the tnlteu STATES
or if it is it has not been located IN
large quantities. These reports are
said to indicate that claim of the
, manganese men that 33 states are
producing manganese is not Justl-
fled. One of these states, North
Carolina. is shown last year to have
produced ten tons of a value OF $l2O.
Representatives of the steel manu-
featuring companies who appeared
before the Finance Committee and
argued for free manganese have be-
come disgusted over an accusation
of self interest and have left Wash
inSton. They said Congress could
do as it liked about it, but If a duty
were put on the ore it would mean
higher priced building material, as
the duty, as usual. would be passed
on to the consumer.

Of BRITISH

JERUSALEM Sept. 8
Q.N.S.). The situation
throughout Palestine remained
grave in the extreme today,
with clashes being reported be-
tween British troops and
Nomadic Arab bands in various
localities. -
Heavy losses have been suffered
by both sides in the fighting be.
tween British forces and a large
band of Bedouin Arabs at GAIA. 60
miles southwest of Jerusalem, near
the Mediterranean coast.
No specific account of the losses
has yet been given, but the advance
apparently has not yet been checked
as the fighting Is continuing. Addi.
tional British troops have been
rushed to the spot to stem the .ad.
vancing hordes, which are being re.
inforced by tribesmen from the
Sinai peninsula.
AirpIanes Aid
The. GAIA engagement threatens
to develop into the worst battle in
the conflict. According TO latest re-
ports. the fighting has assumed
genuine warlike stage. with air
planes and armored cars aiding the
British forces in quelling the tnsur.
rection.
In the meantime, outbreaks were
also reported in the vicinity of Beer
sheba, where British detachments
are engaged with mounted Arab
xnsk
ported killed when the British forces
repulsed a Moslem attack at Yesud-
Hamaalah. At Nablus, five Arabs
were killed and 20 wounded by Brit
ish airmen.
Cavalry in Action
Airplane squadrons are active
over the plains between Nablus and
Tiberias, 80 miles north of here.
The casualties are probably much
heavier than the official reports in.
dicate. A check-up of the dead
Arabs is impossible, owing to the
Moslem custom of removing bodies
of the dead Immediately.
British cavalry also inflicted
heavy casualties upon Arab forces
attacking Tiberias, although. Safed
and Haifa, short distances to the
west, were reported unmolested.
With the recurrence of active
fighting, towns and villages through.
out the Holy Land have been re-
duced again to state of panic.
Shops are closed. and Jewish buyers
are boycotting Arab tradesmen, who
are suffering severely through this
move.
The losses Of the British troops
at GAIA are reported to be the
heaviest since the military took the
situation in hand.
LONDON. Sept. G,N.s).-The
colonial office here has issued q
statement regarding the fighting
between Arabs and British troops
in the vicinity of GAIA, Palestine.
1t reads as follows:
Troops have repulsed a party Of
raiding Arabs at FL Mesha, east '.of
Mount Tabor. Twenty-six casualties
were inflicted on the raiders, while
one soldier was slightly wounded:

skill In beating to windward and round
ing buoy, but for his craftsmanship
Old Bill Gavin tells story about
race in which Adams found a buoy
unbeknown to any one, even to the mem
bers on board his yacht, and. after
crossing the line. told the judges to
award the race to the following boat.
Mr.. Adams did the same thing years
later in race with the German SON.
der boats. He fouled another Amer
lean entry and withdrew.
Who is this man Adams?" Sir
Thomas Upton said back in 1914. when
the yacht club announced that Mr..
Adams would succeed the veteran and
famed skipper Charley Barr, who, In
an earlier day, piloted the Columbia and
Reliance to American victories.
When the race for the Americas
cup finally was sailed in 1920, Sir
Thomas found out who this man
Adams was.
Elected Mayor by Democrats.
Mr.. Adams yachting fame has nat
urally overshadowed in the newspapers,
other phases of his career. He was
graduated from Harvard and was pres
ident of his class. Few remember to-
day that in 1895 he was mayor of
Quincy for two years and was elected
by Democrats and Independent Repub-
licans
In 1893 he was appointed treasurer
of Harvard University. At that time
Harvard's treasure chest held $4,000
600. Today it holds more than $780,
100000 and it is said Deacon" Adams
never has aoade a poor investment.
He is a member of the Eastern,
Corinthian. New York and Quincy
Yacht Clubs, but he also is a member
of the Wednesday Evening Club, found

most select membership.
IF you can't talk. you can't get in"
Is said to be one of the qualifications
for membership. The Deacon" could
talk.
To the list of John Quincy Adams
and Bill Gavin, plumber, perhaps a
third name should be added. that of
Dave Lincoln of Quincy. Mr.. Adams
still remembers the clam chowder that
Dave used to cook after sail.
