STEEL RATE IS REDUCED Pub-Committee Considers Metals but Denies General Changes Hare Been Made Kenyon Goes After Aluminum. WASHINGTON, May 10. That Re publican Senators plan to insist on amendments to nearly every item in the Underwood tariff bill when it comes hefore the Senate for dlsrusslon be came evident today, when Senator Pen rose, ex-chairman of the finance com mittee, declared that every member of the minority would have amendments to propose. ' Senator Penrose told the Senate he knew of no concerted effort to be made purposely to delay the passage of the bill, but said he was assured that the minority would offer many amend ments to tlie schedules. Senator Smoot also announced that many roll calls would be demanded. In the debat today on the matter of makinir public briefs filed by man ufacturers with the finance sub-com mittees Senator Towr.send. of Michigan Traced in a colloquy with Senator Simmons relative to alleged threats of manufacturers to reduce wages and the counter-Intention of the Administration, through the bureau of corporations, to investigate concerns which miirht re duce wages following tariff reductions. Townaend Dfinan Am Instant. "I the Senator aware,"' asked Sena tor Townstnd. "of any conditions exist ing; which will make possible this pro posed coercion on the part of the Gov ernment as indicated by the Secretary of Commerce?" "Remarks of the Secretary relating to investigations of such matters," said Senator Simmons, "have grown out of threats constantly made by the protect ed Interests that they would reduce watfes unless they are permitted to re tain the excessive tariff rates." "Can the Senator give any specific cases where such threats have been made?" Senator Townsend continued. "I can refer the Senator to the hear ings before the ways and means com mittee, where statements were repeat edly made by manufacturers that if duties were reduced they would be forced to and would cut wages. I also would refer him to the briefs filed with the finance committee, which are full of such statements." Warnings Are Referred to. "Does the Senator construe as a threat the statement of a manufacturer that certain changes would force Mm to curtail expenses?" asked the Michi gan Senator. "The Senator may construe it as he sees fit." Senator Simmons concluded. "Call it a threat or a statement, but the Secretary of Commsrce had refer rnce to these constant warnings by representatives of the protected in dustries that they would not suffer in their own pockets from tariff reduc tions, but would shoulder the loss upon their employes." Prolonged discussion centered on an effort begun by Senator Penrose to have the names of manufacturers who appear before the finance sub-committee submitted for the benefit of the minority. He accepted an amendment by Senator Smith, of Georgia, for sub mission of names of manufacturers whr call on minority members of the committee and another by Senator Reed for making public a record of manu facturers who appealed to the finance committee when the Dlngley and Pay n-Aldrich bills were under con sideration. Inane (iors to Committee. The Penrose motion with amend ments was about to pass when Sena tor I.ippltt proposed another which would require immediate publication of nil briefs filed with the finance com mittee. Thereupon Senator Simmons moved that the whole question be re ferred to the finance committee and the motion was curried 43 to 21. Senator Newlnnds addressed the Sen ate at length on his tariff programme proposed at the opening of the extra sesrlon. which would provide for a gradual reduction of the tariff and for an investigation into tne wisoom or crenting a tariff advisory commission. "I hope this opportunity the first the Democratic party has had in many yrsrs of basing action on intelligent Information Instead of more juggling adjustments between industries and sections will not be lost," he said. Senator's Stone's sub-committee was engaged in consideration of the metal schedule- Though Senator Stone denied reports that the committee had made general reductions from the 1'nder wood rates, some items have been re duced. One of these Is said to be structural steel. Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, has intro duced an amendment to put aluminum on the free list. This Is in keeping with his proposal to put all products of monopolies on the free list. "Jokers" Are 'Wotelied For. Senator ReeJ severely criticised the Republicans for having In the employ of the finance committee during consid eration of tariff bills men who were in terested in the National Association of Woolen Manufacturers, and ha read from letters of S. N. D. North, who was secretary of the association, who ad mitted having served as a clerk to the finance sub-committee when the tariff bills were up. "Wtirn the Democrats get through with this bill." said Senator Reed. "It mar contain some mistakes, but it will contain ro Jokers by paid employes of the woolen trust or other manufactur ing interests." yachtsmen preferred that the race should be with yachts of any other length. "In accepting the- challenge, the rep resentatives of the New York Yacht Club have held Sir Thomas to the 75- footer named In his first challenge, evidently prelerrinar to race with yachts of th: ,, length. "I consider this decision highly sat isfactory because it means a departure from races between extremely freak ish yachts of a 90-foot length, and : consider that it means more frequent racing for the America's cup hereafter. Sail Area Not to Be Large. "It is now agreed that the contests will be with yachts of a wholesome type. The New York Yacht Club rules in fact produce big-bodied yachts like those built under the international rules here." As ted whether the British boat woull be designed to carry the largest sail area Dosaible. Mr. Nicholson re plied "Tl e sail area will be moderate, com pared with her size, because, under the rules governing the race, excessive sail area will be heavily penalized." Designer Nicholson added that he had prepared plans for a freak boat. but that he had already commenced work on new plans, and hoped to launch' the challenger in March, 1914. Sir Thomas Lipton has not selected his skipper, but it probably will be either Captain Edward Sycamore, com mander of the Shamrock IV, or Cap tain Wrlnge. He also expects to take the Shamrock IV over to aid in tuning up the challenger. LETTER WRITERS GUILTY TWO CONVICTED OF THKEATEX- IXG WILSON". LIPTON TO RACE FOR CUP Continued From First Pse.) trem tj-pe produced under that rule, having an enormous sail area, a 75 footer was large enough. "In acknowledging the challenge. te New York Yacht Club apparently did not understand Sir Thomas meaning because they asked whether he intended to race under the old rules or the rresent rules, sir Thomas re plied: "'Gentlemen. I challenge you: you choose the weapons. and said that he was quite willing to race under the old rules. Smaller Type Thought Iletter. "As this, however, was really alter ing what he Intended to be the terms of the challenge, I advised him that there was no longer any necessity to adhere to the 75-foot length, and sug gested that he race with a 90-footer under the present New York Yacht Club rules. Sir Thomas agreed and cabled that the Shamre-ck TV would be no-footer, umeaa J.ha Kew. York Missive Received by Tumulty Had Demanded Money and Referred to Fate or McKinlcj. NEWARK, N. J., May 20.
