biggest issue facing tho adnilnlstrar
tiou of President Coolidge, corrobor-
ated by his trip west and confirmed
by the many conferences in the east
between bankers. merchants and lie-
publican leaders. is the tariff.
Llut it is not a partisan issue.
That's the new phase of the oldest of
American problems. It has divided
the Republican leadership itself for
some of the stattuchest strpporters of
President Coolidge, men who have
in'tlio past been high protectionism.
now are arguiui: that unless the. tar-
iff wall is lowtred to a certain ex-
tent, the economic prosperity of the
country in the next few years will
suffer.
The schism III the ranks of ite-
publicanisin has been developing ev-
er since the investment bankers be-
gun to make heavy loans to Europe,
ever since in fact the details of the
Dawes l.’ian became known and
tho irluropean countries began to
argue for a In“: r tartt't' wall itt or-
der that tiny might pay their war
debts in guilds. Sir I‘IFlllt.‘ Howard.
the British ambassador, contributed
a few thoughts on the subject in
public recently which were taken to
heart by the liepuldieans and it now
has become apparent that many
bankers want the tariff reduced so
as to accomplish a better trade re-
lationship with Ilurope and to assist
thus iii the llIlllllillU payment by
Europe of its d. his.
The discussions lntween bankers
and Republican leaders. particularly
influential tttembtrs of the. Senate,
have been in procitss some time. It
was hardlv litillt'ct: ar the time that
Senator “tillam \l. l5utl~r of Mrs-
Bacliusetts, chairman of the Iii-pub-
licau national committee. issued a
warning to the bankers that the tar-
«iff would not tic-reduced but never-
theless the spit-ch was part at the
movement to combat the tariff agit-
ation. And before long. there may be
other utterances from the lcpubllc-
an wing which argues that while
there might be, some merit in a re-
vision of Ct'l‘lilil) schedules of the
tariff, it would be unwise to tinker
with the tariff just before. a congres-
sional election tor if there developed
a deflation iii wages the resentment
of the labor vote might be suffic-
ient to turn the tide and cause the
loss of the two houses of congress.
Now after the western trip taken
by COolidge it has become evident
that another line of attack on the
tariff is being organized in the west
and that farm communities which in
the old days shouted loudest for the
tariff are today clamoring for relief
against the high cost of the articles
they purchase and the ineffective-
ness of the tariff in prottcting them
by keeping the price of wheat high.
If, therefore, there should be a
revival of the old tariff revolt which
began in Iowa in the days of Dolli-
ver and which led to the insurgent
movement of 191:. the custodians of
the Republican party's fortunes will
not have as before a solid eastern
front but will find themselves weak-
erred in the very strongholds of pro-
tection.
Some of the strongest Republican
SenatOis are reported to have said
privately tli it they believe some re-
vision was he. essaiy but they did
not know whether it was politically
wise. There are some important con-
ferences going on between the high
protectionists who insist it would
be ridiculous for tho‘ Republican
party to reduce the tariff and
that a revision once. attempted would
lead to abuses through a combination
of Democrats and low tariff Repub-
licans.
The problem however is not alto-
gether in contiol of the high tariff
what is
causing all the “01” and apprehen-
slon even so (arlv in the summer
with the session of congress nearly
six months away. I et when Republi-
can scouts report that in farm re-
gions of the \\lSL the farmers are
discussing a r-::duttion oi the tarif“
using arguments which 11: t\ c a iam-
iliar ring there is a suggestion that
some eastern bankers have hesitated
through their western connection to
make plain why the tariff should be
reduced.
Labor Troubles Close
.
Weavrng Department
.SHELTON, t:0.\'.\'., June 13 (AP).
4—As a result of labor trouble, which
existed more or less for some time
culminating in the strike of some
400 employes. the weaving depart
ment of the Sidney Blumcnthal C0111-
pany here has been abolished Seven
trucks, loaded mostly with looms
from that department have already
departed for New Jersev, where the
machinery will be installed at the
South River plant of the concern.
Preparations are being made to move
machinery from the department by
rail, so that whrn the movement is
completed the weaving formerly
done here will he} don in the New
Jcrscy plant.
In the strikers' quarters there
were no new developments today.

$20 a thousand (for select lumber)
for respecting ancestral practice. as
a. survey just completed by this as-
sociutiou shows. Not only does ex-
tra-long lumber bring a correspond-
ingly higher price but extra short
lumber is offered at specially low
prices. The further the consumer
is from the mills tho rnoro he pays
for his inertia, us his price is usually
determined by a percentage margin
added to original mill cost. plus
transportation charges. \v'liolcsalers'
margins. etc. Besides. the sawing

lumber for a. given purpose. As it
rule. too. short lumber is of better
quality than long. If ‘peoplo would

lengths for short lengths uses the
dealers and tho mills would quickly
respond with adequate supplies at
discount prices. Assuming that the
average frame. house requires 20,000
feet. of lumber. the saving resulting
from the use of short lengths. in-
cluding labor probably would be not.
less than $200. In the average ma-
sonry house. the saving would be at
