britain TO IMPOSE
DUTIES NEXT WEEK
Supposed Beginning of Tariff
System to Be Put Into
Operation Quickly.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 19.-Great Brit
ain is expected to begin next Monday
to impose import duties on certain
products under its new "anti-dumping'
bill.
Such swift action to stop an inflow
of foreign goods was believed certain
in the Hobbies of the House of Com
mons last night, after Walter Runci-
man, president of the Board of Trade,
had told a friend that he would be
busy over the week end.
The bill, which permits a duty as
high as 100 per cent, has been pushed
through Parliament and is expected
to receive royal assent Friday. Mr..
Runciman's remark, therefore was re-
garded as a sign that certain imports
will be required to pay duty as from
next Monday morning.
Indicates Last Of Goods.
The president Of the Board Of Trade,
which will enforce the measure, indi-
Gated to the House of Commons which
articles were likely first to be affected
when he mentioned the following were
coming into the country in abnormal
quantities:
Plate and sheet glass, knives, surgical
instruments, vacuum cleaners, sewing
machines, typewriters, colored cottons,
carpets. box calf leather, tanned leather
and cobalt oxide.
Mr.. Runciman particularly called at
tention to the fact 1877 sewing ma
chimes were imported during October,
against 1892 in october OF last year,
and that 1888 typewriters had come
in, as against 3,848 year ago.
It seemed certain the duties would
form a preference tariff to build up a
British economic unity comparable
with the United States, in which there
would be no tariff barriers between the
dominions.
Empire Goods Defined.
British Empire products are not duti-
able under the bill, but definition OF
what constitutes empire products may
be necessary. The bill refers to the
finance act, which stipulateS that en-
pire goods, to quality for preference.
must contain a definite proportion OF
empire labor and materials as laid
down by the Board Of Trade regu-
lations.
The purpose Of this Is to prevent an
exporter in the United States, for in
stance, from shipping parts to Canada,
assembling them there and transport
ing the finished product to Great Britain
under the empire preference.
Conservatives pressed the view the
bill should be regarded as the begin
ming of a protective tariff system.
Former Free Trade Liberals, now sup
porting the government, were more
hesitant. One said he supported the
bill on the principle the government
should have the power to deal with an
emergency.
In the Hobbies of Parliament a Sug-
gestion was made that a duty also
should be imposed on imported flour
and the proceeds used to guarantee a
price for wheat to the British farmer.
Agriculture products are excluded from
the present bill.

All the hibernates are out. Sum-
mer is here. The bread line has dis
appered. The work line is getting
whittier and whittier. The Negro masses
are joy riding, gassing, and gaddine
about going nowhere to do nothing
or Just sitting around waiting for
somebody to help them out. Ants,
bees, and bugs and getting ready for
next winter.
Novelty of Bread Line
The novelty of the bread line has
worn off. Next winter charity is
going to serve the unemployed with
a longer spoon with less in it.
When the American people get
over the novelty and thrill of thing
thew either discard it or sober up and
settle down to thinking. The Char
ity and Chest leaders and donors
have their heads thinking
bread liners look out for their ul-
timatl m. The people of this coun-
try are not going to work for able
bodied men and women.

nor Horace Greeley's doctrine re-
pudiated. The former declares that
Sin the sweat of thy brow shalt thou
eat bread" and the command of the
latter is root. hog, or die"
Put Brain to Work
We might as well make up our
minds to go to it. You ask What
can Negroes do when the whole world
is in the same fix. The Negro can
do just what others are. doing-call
on his courage, industry, ingenuity,
initiative, logged determination, put
his brain to work, and put up fight
for his life-that's all.
The man who uses his head, hands
and heart can make his own bread,
buy his own house, sit by his own
fire, instead of standing outdoors in
the cold waiting for somebody to
feed him. Idle men should scour the
towns for jobs.
Negro leaders haven't interest
enough in the masses to hold Job
finding convention. The majority of
them are too busy getting elected to
places of ease, honor, power and
glory. Good Lord, deliver us from
these Luxurious leaders" of ours.
They are our greatest liabilities
They haven't done a thing concrete
and far-reaching to help us out OF
