PROPOSES PLAN FOR SCIENTIFIC TARIFF SYSTEM! Sen. Frelinphuvfcn Offers Amendment to "Take Tar- !

J uro :i.Techrdcadly the tariff Mil wm before the t.nat Wednesday, hut there was r.o action upon any part of It and it camp In fur only brief discuntdon. Ttfis wa.-i in connection with an j amendment offered by Senator FroJlnghuynen, republican, New Jers-y, roposing to pet up the, machinery joking to the enactment hereafter of a 'dpntific tariff." Under the terma of th amendment, which i. understood to have fome suport on both sides of the chamber, the tariff commission j would be increased to ten member.", appointed by tho president for life! and would be. authorized to Investigate tho diflereru-e in conversion costs in the United Stau und abroad and to recommend tariif rates KU.ficient tocover that cos'. Not more than five of the members of the commission could be of the fame political party. Attacks Present System. The amendment prnpows an appropriation of $1.000,000 to cover Investigating costs and it would require the commission to recommend new tariff rates by Dec. 1 1923. and every slx months thereafter in such cases as It found that the rates in force were higher or lower than tho difference between conversion cofts. In a prepared Address explaining his amendment Senator Urelinghauyen declared the present tariff mäkln? fc-ystem wa both "illegal and unscientific." Describing that system as "a complication of the statement of manufacturer, Importers, merchants and farmers and of lncluedve data collected by government agencies Inadequately equipped," the senator said tho public mind was thoroughly awakened to i'the abuses of this system and to ne necessity for reXorm." Sliould Be a "Warning "And thirt awakening should be a warnJr to all of us to take the tariff out of politics" he continued, 'lr Is probable that the theory of what constitutes proper traiff levies always will remain a political quebmatter of dispute between economists." But the method of finding out the facts on which to assess tariff certainly is not a political matter." The New Jersey senator argued that his amendment 'would vitalize the tariff co munition and would remove its members from "personal and party measure" by . Mishing a fundamental principle r tixing rates. Also he said it . u!d give tLe commission the time, the mom, i and authority to Irani such a bill1 a would "afford actual, not merely j cupposed protection to American In-1 uustry and American labor."

The address of tho evening was delivered by Rev. Clark W. Cumnungs, pastor of the Central Christian church, Flint, Mich. Following a song 'service led by the Lehman brother of Chicago and Berne, Ind., a piano solo played by Eugene Hutching, and a devotional, conducted by Rev. 17. V. Cole of this city, R P.. Gates of Boston, general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, In an address, "Your Chance," made an eloquent plea for financial support for the continuance of the work of the union in Indiana and eulogized Mr. Williams for his work in putting tho Christian Endeavor to the fore in Indiana during hiei more than 15,OuO miles of journeying over the .aato in the past year.

LABOR PROPOSES FOUR REVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION Congressional Veto of Supreme Court Decisions Is One Change Urged.
ACT ON PROGRAM TODAY Delegates Favor New Child! i Labor Law and Repeal i of Sherman Act i I CINCINNATI, O.. June 21. (By , A. P.) Organized labor virtually j committed Itself Wednesday at the ' American Federation of Labor conventlon to a program favoring adoption of four constitutional amendments, the repeal of the Sherman anti-trust law and the enactment by congress of two other measures with an avowed purpose of curbing j me courts on account or decisions j averse to labor. I A final vote, however, was delayed I until Thursday so that delegates i might continue to unlash their fcelI lngs against wh t was described by the special policy committee reporting the program as "a judicial oligarchy that Is threatening to set itself up above the legislatures and above the people themselves." The program of amendments includes a congressional veto of supreme court decisions; the guarantee to workers of the right to organize. J to bargain collectively and to strike, the prohibition of child labor, and the adoption of an easier method than the present one for changing tne ieaerai constitution. ihe newi laws proposed would interpret sections of the Clayton act which the committee said the supreme court had "manifestly Ignored or overridden,' and would include a new child labor law that would met objections raised by the supreme court in setting aside former enactments. Noisy Demonstration. Delegates advocating the program were greeted with noisy demonstrations and no dissent from the committee's program was voiced during the long debate. Emphasis was placed by the speakers on their statement that the program was an appeal to the people, and tha,t it was an orderly process In defense of labor's rights. Bitter denunciation of supreme court decisions, however, featured tho debate, as also the committee's report on the program. Before taking up the program aimed at the courts, the convention adopted a resolution favoring an Investigation of Harvard's "alleged dis criminatory action which is said to! be contemplated," to place a ban against admission of Hebrew students, and the approval of a report, made by the educational committee, which condemned the Lusk laws of New York as attempting to censor the utterances of school teachers. Repeal Urged. "Such legislation, ostensibly directed against 'radicalism, " said the report, requires teachers to take a special oath of allegiance to the constitution of the United States and of the state in question, and specifies that a teacher may be dismissed for deficiencies in character or for "disloyalty." The practical result of such laws is to endanger the independence of teachers In dealing with social problems. Repeal of measures similar to the Lusk laws wherever they have been enacted was favored by the committee and its report was adopted without dissent. In reporting Its program for curbing the courts, the special policy committee declared that the supreme court In particular "had undertaken to deprive American labor of fundamental rights and liberties," and it asserted that a series of such decisions formed "a link in a chain consciously designed to enslave the ! workers of America." Six decisions of the court in the last five years were I reviewed to support the contention 1 i of the committee, which added that the "despotic exercise of a usurped j power by nine men. or a bare majority of them, over the lives and (Continued on page Two) !
