PLAN HIGH TARIFF
FOR WAR REVENUE
Democrats Start Today on
, Draft of New $8,000,
000,000 Measure
TO DOUBLE INCOME TAX
Excess Profits and Many Com
modities Will Be Made tc
Pay More
Washington, July 16.
The new $8,000,000,000 war revenue
bill, which the House Ways and Mean
Committee will start to draft In
eecret today will provide for substan
tial Increases In the tariff schedules.
Also It will double the tax on Incomes
"and excess profits.
,. The plan of the congressional finan
ciers to adopt a high tariff schedule
was brought out today when Frank
W. Taussig, chairman of the United
States Tariff Commission, testified
befoie the committee at the last of
the open hearing's on the new bill.
Would Prevent Gnuslns
Professor Taussig urged the com
mittee f have a "padlock" resolution
introduced In Congress and passed
before the new revenue measure Is
brought out that would make the In
crease In the tariff retroactive. He
would lock the doors Immediately
against Impoits on which the duties
will be raised and the holding of them
for the -expected advance In prices
that would follow the proposed in
crease In the tailff.
E. P. Costlgan, of Colorado, another
member of the commission, said that
when the Dinnley tariff went into ef
fect It was found that immense stores
of raw wool had been bi ought into
the United States, and that for two
years the wool Importers were able
""to pocket the advance In the wool
tariff.
The "padlock" resolution would be
come effective as soon as the new
levenUe bill Is introduced in the House,
but the Increased tailffs could not b
collected until the revenue measure
was finally passed.
This system of preventing importers
from pocketing the increases in tariffs
is In use In England, Canada, France
and Italy. Professor Taussig ex
pressed the opinion before the com
mlttee that It Is much more effective
than the present "foretax" method In
vogue In the United States.
Cites Sugar Contract'?
He explained to the committee that
the large importers are already fol
lowing an example set by the Ameri
can Sugar Refining Company and in
serting In all of their contracts a
clause providing that the Incieasep
In tariff rates 6hall be paid by the
purchaser of the Imported articles.
"This is preparedness legislation and
has reference to the early future,"
said Professor Taussig, "rather than
immediate conditions." He said that
the "padlock" legislation. In his opin
ion, is desirable only as a war emer
gency measure.
Professor Taussig will sit with the
Wayf, and Means Committee while
the new revenue bill Is being drafted.
Chairman Kitchlnof the committee,
said that It will follow in n geneial
way the suggestions made by the
Treasury Depaitment, and that it will
provide, In addition to new sources of
revenue, for, double the nmount of
taxation on excess profits, incomes
and commodities levied by the exist
ing revenue act.
The new measur.e, he added, will not
be ready for presentation in the House
until (September 1.

By the Associated Press
New York, July 6
Use of German propaganda funds to
obtain whole cr partial' control of Ameiv
lean newspapers has not been confined to
Xew York city, accoidlng to a statement
today by Deputy Attorney General
Becker, of New York.
Commenting on the Investigation which
led to the' nrrebt of Dr. Edward A.
Rumely on a charge which Involves al
leged purchase of the New York Evening
Mall for the German Government In
1915, Mr Becker declared that Informa
tion Jn his possession and that of the
Federal alien property custodian, for
whom he acted In the Mail case, indf
.cates.that Teuton millions were spent in

ts slve Investigation now In progress, he ns
terted, may be expected to reveal other
centers of German Influence and (he
methods followed in putting its propa
ganda Into effect.
Tn connection with Mr. Becker's state
ment It was learned authoritatively to
ti" y that another American newspaper
passed Into German control before the
United States entered the war In a man
ner similar to that alleged to have been
followed In the case of the Mall. This
newspaper Is located In the far West, and
action against Its ostensible owners Is
predicted as an early development.

PITTSBURGH BUILDERS
SHY AT LABOR AS ALLY
Flurry Caused by Futile Pro
test Against Possible Admis
sion of Federation
Atlantic rit.v, July 16
Insurgents from Pittsburgh created a.
flurry here today by filing a protest '
against a section of articles of associa
tion which might be construed an an '
opening wedge for the admission of or-'
ganlzcd labor to the newly created Na-,
tional Federation of Building Industries. '
The section In question, a part of a re
port submitted this morning by a com-i
mlttee, of manufacturers nnej distributors
of building materials headed by Colonel
John R igglny. of Philadelphia, after1
enumerating specifically the bodies which
inlgnt be members, added- 'lAny asso
ciation of other persons, firms or cor
porations related to building."
"Let's call a spade a spade," exclaimed
R. D. Cochrane, of Pittsburgh; "does
this mean that- organized labor is to
come in with us?"
Chairman Allan Walker, of Now York,
objected to the raising of the Issue. He
said that the federation should have
.sufficient confidence In its war Indus
tries committee to leave the whole mat
ter with that body. He said also that
representatives of organized labor who
attended yesterday's session of the build
ing industries, had gone
"The chalrpian Is mistaken," objected
T. M. Guerin, of Troy, N Y , represent
ing me urotnernoou or carpenters with
400,000 members. "We are here by n-'
vltatlon, we are ready to do anything
In our power to help in furthering the
prosecution of the war and the piesei
vatlon of the building Industry." ,
The report was auupted with a roar
of applause, the Pittsburghers doggedly
votlhg "no.
Delegates are of many minds as to
whether or not organized labor Is to
go into a body representing billions of
organized capital.
A provisional war service board Is to
be elected this 'afteinoon to serve un

AMERICANS TEACH FOE STINGING
LESSON IN HIS GREAT DRIVE
American troops have met the picked men of the Kaiser's armies on
the Mnne and decisively defeated the Germans In their fifth ami what they
intended to be their greatest offensive.
In a brilliant strategic move the Americans jielded at first between
Fossoy and Me.iv. withdrawing to Conde en-Brie, four miles south of the
JIarne. The Germans, evidently thinking they would have an cas task,
crossed the Marne in large fene'e. At Conde the Americans counter-attacked,
routed the enemv, captured 1.100 prisoners, including a complete
brigade staff, and drove Kick the Teutons to the river bank
This was not the only victory of the Americans. On the western
end of the drive the Germans succeeded In entering the village of
Vaux, which tho Amei leans captuied two weeks ago. The Americans
Immediately drove them out and leg.iined their oilginal positions. Thus
In the long-awaited Geiman drive the enemy was taught a stinging
legson by American troops.
