CONFEREES LOOSEN
BAN ON LITERATURE
Aqree on Senate Amendment
LiberaIizing Regulations
on Entry.
By the Associates Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Deferring action on the Senate eX-
port debenture and flexible provisions
and other major controversies over the
administrative clauses of the tariff bill,
the congressional conferees on the
measure today agreed upon the Senate
amendment liberalizing existing re-
strictions on importations of literature.
Under the literature provision Gus
toms officials would be authorized as
at present to seize questionable foreign
books at ports of entry. but final judg-
ment would rest with the Federal
courts.
The Secretary of the Treasury also
would be authorized to admit "so-called
classics or books of recognized and es-
tablished literary or scientific merit.
but may, in his discretion, admit such
classics or books only when imported
for non-commercial purposes"
The literature prohibition also would
apply to matter urging treason or
forcible resistance to any American
law and printed matter containing a
threat against the life of any Ameri-
can citizen.
The export debenture and new f1eXi-
bic provisions went over after brief dis
cussion in accordance with the under
standing that the Senate conferees
come back to the Senate for instruc-
tons in event of disagreement.
Another provision on which the con-
ferees could not agree was the Senate
amendment barring after January /,
1882, goods produced abroad by forced
or indentured labor. Convict-made ar
ticles already are denied entry.
The conferees approved the Senate
amendments authorizing Porto Rico to
impose duties on coffee imported into
the islands and reducing from five to
three years the time in which exporters
may get a duty drawback on shipments
to the Philippines of goods imported and
proceSsed in the United States.
Approval also was given the Senate
provision authorizing the United States
to enter into reciprocal agreements with
foreign countries looking to free entry
of advertising matter sent through the
mails to individual addresses. An eX-
ception, however, would be made OF
foreign produced printed matter adver-
Using the sale of articles of American
make.
Another Senate provision accepted
would exempt foreign articles from a
marking requirement if the Secretary of
the Treasury is satisfied the marking
could not be made without injury to
the article or without making it so eX-
pensive as to make its importation
prohibitive
Articles imported by illustrators and
photographers for use solely as models
in the illustrating of catalogues,
pamphlets, or advertising matter, would
be allowed free entry under bond if
held in this country only six months.
All sections relating to the organi-
cation of the tariff commission and
valuation bases for the assessment of
ad valorem duties were passed over.
