Blow Against This
 Nation Is Launched
tContinued from Page l)

announced yesterday by Premier
 R. B. Bennett.
 The changes to be announced by Great Britain will affect principally such exports from the United States as soft woods, metal prod ucts including copper, lead, zinc, cobalt. all intended to cut the mar ket for United States copper; bacon, dairy products, condensed milk and almost all fruit products, wheat from the United States, for instance, will pay duty into Bri- tain of about 1-2 cents; Canadian | wheat will pay no such duty. Premier Bennett said he hoped the preferences given Canadian metals would result in Canadian copper replacing that formerly sold in Britain by producers in the United States, up to the value of that formerly sold in the United States by Canadian producers but now barred by cent duty.
 He also pointed out that the Shoot -Hawley tariff act had closed the market for CanadlaN farm products in the United States. and that the preferences to be given Canadian agriculture by Britain would make up for much of the loss.
 He said the figures for the united kingdom market for the first half of 1892 showed a remarkable gain for Canadian soft woods. Exports from Canada to the united king dom jumped from f218,000 in 1891 to f372,000 in 1892, while the United States exports to Great Bri- tain dropped from f642,0O0 to f492.000. For the first time in years, he said, British Columbia exports of lumber to the united Kingdom exceeded those of Oregon and Washington.
 Probably half the loss In export business to be effected by the tariff change in the United States will be in steel and iron products, some estimated. Exact figures were not obtainable.
 Two hundred sixty-two items were changed. about one fourth the total number on the Canadian schedule. and representing about 80 per cent of the total value of all imports 10 this country. In 81 cases. British preferences were ex- tended by reduction In the tariff on British imports; in 89 cases the same effect was obtained by in- creasing intermediate and general rates.
 In textiles, the duty on cottons from Great Britain was reduced one third. Some items were placed on the free list. The reduction on woolens was one fourth, with many items free. Many chemicals formerly on the free list from the United States and other exporters now carry duties of 10 to 25 per cent. The duty on anthracite was raised from 40 to 50 cents a ton, with empire coal admitted free. Britain wanted the duty boosted to 75 cents, claiming the small change would not permit her to compete with Pennsylvania ex- ports.
 The changes effective today, not including those 10 be made by Great Britain next week. may be l

Whether the latter was used as a blind" for the deal or whether he was actually declared in on the hi-jacking proposition Is something for the state troopers to determine in their inquiry.

resemblance noted in two of the young men MT Sullivan would make no definite claim. The charge being too serious to have any doubt exist MT Sullivan or MT Rogers would not say that they recognized any of gang. James Opperman, manager of 8 chain store In Woodbury, selected one of the youths and was quite certain that he was implicated in the hold up of the First National store in that town last week, but no formal charge was made against the youth.
 Lieutenant Joseph Stevens and Detective William Foley are direct ing the investigation for the local police, while Lieutenant William SchatZman and State Trooper Rus sell Olsen of the Beacon Falls bar racks are representing the state police. All are agreed that Wa terbury is the hang-out for the gang, which includes stick-up men, burglars, hi-Jackers and auto thieves. They are of the opinion that if q clean-up Is made a num- Der of present suspects will face positive charges.
 This morning in police court Michael Stance, 29, Irving Gaess and Joseph Burns. 22, all of Wa terbury were arraigned on the technical charge of yagrancy. They were ordered held for q hearing Saturday morning under bonds of $2,000 each. Despite every effort at examination and cross examina- tion the youths continue to deny any connection with the hold-ups. They know Robinson, consider him game kid and all that, but they were not with him on any of his recent exploits.
 Lebo Ricci of Orange street and Thomas Wheeler of Cherry street were taken into custody as they were leaving the city court room where they had faced charges of breach of the peace. They were placed in the lineup, but later re- leased.
 The only new angle the police uncovered during the night in ad- dition to having Schissler identify Robinson was the recovery of the automobile used by the three ban dits in the getaway after their un- attempt to hold-up MT Sullivan. The machine, Buick sedan was found abandoned near the Cudahy Packing Company on Superior street by Patrolman John Parker. The car is registered in the name of Sarah Winig of 1746 East Main street, A Winig family once resided on Cherry street at the address given by two of the accused. The police are trying to establish the connection, if any.

 I'm afraid you won't. but I'm going to give you trial to see if you are as good to me and pap as MT Hoover has been.
