Owners of the major league baseball clubs were In session here today to decide for peace or war in major league baseball, with reorganization of the national commission as" the deciding factor.

here Oct. 18 Johnson declared he
would approve no plan until arter tne Cook county baseball grand jury had reported, and a counter proposition was issued by the "loyal five," but the eleven National and American League clubs, at an informal session, voted to stick by their former position, with the threat of a new 12-club league repeated. Opposition to the plan by President Johnson and the Washington, Philadelphia. Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis clubs, in their counter proposition, was based on tlieir belief that professional baseball should not be taken out of the control of club owners, managers and players.

In the long conferences hem vesterday by both factions it was known that the National League and Hie three American League owners discussed plans to attempt to avert a war, but remained steadfast in their determination to form he 12 team league should the other teams refuse to come in. No little interest, was manifested in the meeting of minor league club owners in Kansas City tomorrow. Many passed through Chicago yesterday and major league representatives conferred with them with a view to getting information as to whether or not support of the Lasker plan could be expected from the minors. Support Would Aid It was conceded that their support or non-support would be a great aid for either faction should the battle he waged. David Fultz, president of the International League, and T. J. Hickey, president of the American Association, recently declared that if the new plan was put into effect the omor leagues should have a hand in the election of the men on the governing body, as well as paying a part of the salaries. . . . Indications that lobbying might be an important feature of the Kansas Ciiv conference were noted when dispatches from Kansas City were received here.

Tariff Bill to Be Drastic
Protective Measure When Passed, Says Washington WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. The tariff bill to be passed by ttfe incoming Republican Congress promises to be the most drastic protective measure that has appeared upon the Federal statute books, according to Republican Senators and Representatives now in Washington. ; It will be ready for signature by President Warren G. Harding early next summer, it was stated today. Representative Joseph W. Fordney. Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, already is at work upon the schedules and soon will have assistance from Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah. The bill, it was learned today, will include every sort of commodity in which America is in competition with foreign countries where labor and raw material are cheaper, but will be aimed especially at protection of farm goods, steel and iron products. The measure, it is understood, will
be contested bitterly by Democratic members of Congress, as one designed to tax the poor while conferring favors tjpon. special interests. 4
