It appears certain that the motion picture producers will resent tliis attempt to curtail the freedom of their actions. one of the courses open to them will be to refuse to employ Equity members, but this would deprive them of some of the ’big names’ which have rotnc to be associated with the talkies.

TARIFF DENOUNCED Act Docs Not Help Farmers, Say Experts. Little or no help for the American farmer is seen by Indiana Farm Bureau Federation officials in the new house bill on tariff revision. ‘ Those who had hoped that tariff legislation in the present session of congress would benefit agriculture seem doomed to disappointment," said L. L. Needier, secretary-treas-urer. commenting on passage ot the bill in the house at Washington. ‘ The bill as it stands today places agriculture at a greater disadvantage than it was under the old tariff schedules.” Needier said. “Chester Gray, the Washington representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has made a study of the measure and finds that agricultural products under the 1922 act have an average protection duty of 25.85 per cent. The average duty under the new act is 29.9 per cent. On industrial products the average duty under the 1922 act is 42.03 per cent, while under the new bill it will be increased to 47.04 per cent. Tariffs on agricultural products have been increased 4.05 per cent and industrial tariffs have been increased 5.04 per cent."

GLASS URGES TAX TO CURB WALL STREET Levy on Speculations to Be Asked in Bill by Former Treasury Chief. Bn I inti ■/ Pn .<■' WASHINGTON. May s.—Senator Curtis Glass (Dent., Va ), today announced he will introduce within a day or two his amendment to the tariff bill to impose a tax upon stock speculation. The amendment is understood to propose a 5 per cent tax on stock sales when the stock is sold within sixty ciays oi its purchase. Details of the plan were awaited with more than usual interest since Glass is a former secretary ol the treasury and sponsor of the federal reserve act. Senatorial minds already arc directed today toward the Wall Street situation as a result of the debate between Glass and Senator James Couzens, millionaire Republican ot Michigan, on stock speculation and the credit problenfVesult.ing from it. Couzens and Glass differed widely on it in their debate of Tuesday. Couzens said the federal reserve board should have raised the rediscount rate. Glass contended this would have done no good. “What difference would 1 or 2 per cent make to a gambler who is making 50 per cent?" Glass asked. He said the reserve board should have banned all loans for speculative purposes. Both senators deplored the "orgy of stock speculation” which has swept the country. Both attacked the federal reserve board’s inaction.
