WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. The in
ternal fight of the tariff commission
came out Into the open at the be

Three members, Vice Chairman
Culberthson and Commissioners Cos
tlgan and Lewis, charged participa

positions of the questions involved.
Commission members expect the
sugar rate question to consume the
remainder of the week with advo
cates of a reduction In the present
duty and those favoring its reten
tion Indicating a readiness to cod
test vigorously every technical as
well as every fundamental point. A
score of attorneys were before the
commission and the members, in ad
dition, had sheaves of data supplied
them by their own experts and sub
mitted by vsrlous Interests Involved.
The commission's study of the su
gar rates arises' from a controversy
which originated more than a year
ago and took form later in a com
plaint submitted by New York sugar

of lords this noon, referred to the
recent rejection of protection by the

pointed out that an agreement be

fact which should further strength
en the happy relations between
Great llrltain and America.
The text of the speech follows:
"My lords and members of com

glad to be able to record definite
progress In the solution of questions
which hitherto have blocked the
pathway of mutual understanding

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. New
York and San Francisco apparently
took the lead in the contest for the
1924 democratic convention as the
party's national committee convened
today to select the city. There was
a showdown of offers from New
York, San Francisco, Chicago and
St. Louis prior to the convening of
the committee.
Representatives of the four con
tenders appeared before a sub-committee
consisting of Clark Howell
of Georgia; Charles A. Greathouse
of Indiana, and Miss Mary Archer of
received definite financial proposals
from each of the contestants and pre
pared a report for the full commit
tee. Party leaders said the bids from
New York and San Francisco ap
peared lo meet with the (greatest fa
vor and the race was said to be nar
rowing to those two cities, unless
Chicago and St. Louis came across
with better offers. San Francisco
offered $200,000 cash and free use
of the auditorium, while the New
York offer was $150,000 and free
use of Madison Square Garden, deco
rated and equipped. The Chicago
offer was $125,000 and St. Louis
trailed with an offer of $100,000
and free use of the auditorium where
the 1916 democratic convention was
held. I
The national committee was also
confronted with a partial reorganiz
ation of its staff. Wilbur Marsh or
Iowa, national treasurer, announced
thnt he would resign because of his
inability to be In Washington dur
ing the campaign. Mr. Greathouse, -who
Is the Indiana committeeman,
was said to be slated for election as
treasurer, or as national secretary,
to succeed Edward Hoffman, of In
diana, who resigned sometime ago.
After thn committee's business
session today, it will visit the home
of Former President Wilson, whii Is
said to be anxious to receive the
committee members formally.
All of the bidders for the conven
tion gave assurances of reasonable
hotel rates. New York's representa
tives said there would be no In
crease In current rates, while St.
Lculs promised an average- of $4
a day for rooms.
San Francisco and Chicago made
blanket promises against excessive
hotel rales.
San Francisco's offer of a $200.
000 purse, it was said, would he met
hy a similar bid by New York. The
New York delegation waa counting
upon the support of Chicago which
along with, St. Louis seemed to be
out of the contest.

a city drew to a close, the New

handle that subject In the King's
speech at the opening of the new
parliament, was settled today when
the monarch, reading his minister's
pronouncement, candidly referred to
the country's rejection of the tariff
proposals and Indicated thulr aban
donment by the government.
Mr. Baldwin thus faces the situ
ation squarely In what is generally
regarded as his swan song, as the
nolltlenl experts see nothing hut de
feat for him In the forthcoming vote
of confidence.
But on an analysis this swan song
proved, In thn opinion of expert
observers, to be a shrewd and clever
effort to spike as fnr as possible the
guns of labor, whch expected to as
sume power soon. A largo part of
the speech was devoted to a dis
cussion of bills which tho Baldwin
government would submit, benefit of
the working classes, wore It permit
ted to remnln In power.
The speech furnished one of the
most extensive lists of proposed
measures, favorable to labor that
was over placed In a King's message,
In fnct the labor parly Itself could
hardly have Issued a more striking
pronouncement.
The plans cited Include propos
als for the betterment of Industrial
conditions, provision for the much
needed houses for workers, amelior
ation of unemployment, and the re
adjustment of old age pensions.
It was not that the conservatives
felt such a program would defer the
dnv of the government's downfall but
lhat It would put them In ihe posi
tion of saying Inter. ' The conserva
tives would have given the people
all that labor now proposes."
Mr. Baldwin, say the experts, was
undoubtedly looking ahead to the
next election when h framed Ihe
Kind's speech.
