ident Taft in which he asks some

know if the administration is at

cision in the Cunningham claims and

TARIFF BOARD BILL
IS SURE TO PASS
Washington, Feb. 10.—The “Tar
iff Board” bill, which is certain to
become a law, is a compromise be
tween the measures introduced by
Congressmen Dalzell and Longworth.
It will be an independent body and
not a bureau of the Treasury De
partment. It will report to the Presi
dent and the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House and to the Fi
nance Committee of the Senate, when
requested to do so.
The board will have five members.
One point upon which the sub-com
mittee could not agree was whether
power should be given the board to
subpoena witnesses. This was solved
by providing that the board should
have the authority to summon wit
nesses, but if they do not respond
the board is helpless and has not
the power to do anything but re.
port the matter to Congress.
The five members are to be ap
pointed, as provided in the Long
worth plan, for terms of two, three,
four, five and six years, respectively,
and their successors are to be ap
pointed for six years each. The
president is to designate the chair
man. Not more than three mem
bers are to be of the same party and
three constitute a quorum.
It is understood that the present
members. Chairman Henry C. Em
ery, James B. Reynolds, of Mass
achusetts, and Alvin H. Sanders of
Chicago, will continue on the board,
and the President will name two
Democrats in the near future to fill
the two additional places. So far
no names have been suggested in
connection with these new places,
and some of the Democratic leaders
contend that the President probably
will name these members as he
pleases, being, under the changes
made by the committee, empowered
to appoint the members of the board
without the approval of the Senate.
President Taft is very much grati
fied that his wishes for legislation
upon this subject will be accomplish
ed at this session, although it is real
ized that there are many obstacles
to be overcome before it gets through.
If it is found impracticable to pass
such a bill at this session, it is pro
posed to attempt to get through a
$500,000 appropriation for the pres
ent tariff board, this sum to be avail
able until used. This sum would »e
sufficient if economically handled,
to run the board for two years, and
possibly through all of the next Con
gress. But it will be a difficult mat
ter to get through such a provision,
as a special rule would be necessary.
The “sliding scale” established by
the strike commission which was ap
pointed by the President of the Unit
ed States to settle the strike of 1902
brought the anthracite mine work,
ers about $3,900,000 in the year
1910. Besdies granting a ten per
cent increase in wages to all classes
of mine workers, the commission
provided that they should share in
the profits whenever the price of coal
should rise. Thus it was decreed
that the mine workers should receive
an increase of five cents above $4.50
in the average price of coal at tide
water. The United States Commis
sioner of Labor sends to the opera
tors every month a notice informing
them of the tidewater price in the
preceding month, and of the per
centage rate by which the men’s pay
is to be advanced. The average
monthly bonus in 1910 was four per
cent. The shipments of anthracite
in the year amounted to 64 905,796
tonB. As the labor cost of a ton is
