MC OLDEN RULE STORE NO REBATE FOR AMERICAN SHIPS Tariff Discount Is Declared Void by McReynolds. VIOLATION OF TREATIES, Attorney General, In Opinion Sont to Secretary McAdoo, Holds That 5 Per Cent Duty Clause In Tariff Law Is Inoperative by Its Own Terms Legal Tost Probablu. The provision of the now tnrllT law authorizing " discount of D per cent on nil goods Imported In American ves sels Is iiutdo null nnd void by Its own tonus, qualifying Ha nppllontlon. Tho qiifillfylng language Is tlmt "nothing In this subsection shall be so construed us to abrogate or In any manner Im pair or affect tlio provisions of any treaty concluded between the United States and tiny other foretell nation." This Is the opinion of Attorney Gen eral Melteynolds. submitted In re sponse to tho Inquiry of Secretary Mc Adoo of the treasury department and Just made public In Washington by Mr. McAdoo At the same time Secretary McAdoo niiiioiinced that In accordance with It collectors of customs would be direct ed to continue to disregard ihe sub section, as they were Instructed to do Oct. 8. Unifies held up ponding tlio decision now will bo liquidated, leav ing importers who desire to Insist upon getting tho 5 per cent discount to pro test, with tho right of lliinlly carrying tho question to the court of customs appeals. Ends Protracted Discussion, This ends, for tlio present at least, tho protracted discussion over the pro posed different Inl duty provision, tho subject of much debate in congress while the tariff was under considera tion. The attorney general gave his opinion to Secretary McAdoo ten days ago, but It was withheld to allow con sideration by the treasury otllclals. . Mr. Mclteynolds held: "That tho fi per centum discount to American vessels only, which was tho primary object of tlio subsection In question, cannot lie given without im pairing the stipulation of existing treaties between the United States nnd various other powers nnd that conse quently tho subsection by tho express ed terms of tho proviso is Inoperative." Twenty-throo nations have trentles with tho United States under which they claimed their ships hnd n right to tho differential In common with American ships. These included Great Itrltnln, Germany, Prance, Austria Hungary. Italy, Japan. Helglum, Den-Hirirt.- Giypc.'. tlip, Netherlands, Spain. Nof Ri j iiiurSwedon. Several foreign governments, includ ing those of Germany. France and Spain, made strong protests to tlio state department ngnlnst the proposed discrimination, and there were some Indirect threats of a tradu wnr if tho preference duty wns enforced. Kfforts were nindo by somo of tho administration lenders immediately after foreign protests were received to have congress repeal the provision. Representative Underwood, chairman of the house ways nnd means commit tee nnd tho original champion of the clause, however, expressed himself as opposed to such action, and tho presi dent did not urge 1L $10,000,000 Loss In Duties. Allowance of tho discount to ships of those nations claiming equal rights with American bottoms would have re sulted In an estimated loss of $10,000, 000 nnuunlly in customs duties. This would have created n deficit" Instead of u surplus In the trensury, ns has been estimated by tho tariff f miners.

They claimed It would oper ate us an Incentive to the construction of ships In the United States, slnco shippers of goods in American built bottoms would get tho 5 per cent re duction nnd the American shipowners would be assured of an increase of business Importers who uro dissatisfied with the opinion of the attorney general may protest to tho collector of cus tom nt tho port of entry, who will lay their objections before tho board of general appraisers.

Invcstigntlons into the hours of em ployment for women hnve shown that a reduction of the working day has not been burdensome to tho Industries, according to n bulletin Just Issued by tho bureau of lnbor stntlstlcs in Wash ington. On the other hand, the report shows tlint tho general health of the women whoso hours have been reduc ed has been much better. Tho bulle tin is n comprehensive review of work ing conditions of women all over the world und cites various authorities to bear out (he statements contnlned In it. Tho reduction In the working day has not made It moro ditllcult for the women to compcto with the men, tlio bulletin continues. In those countries where the hours of labor of women have been reduced there Is nothing to show that the greater legnl protection given to women has made it more dif ficult for them to obtain employment. However, this reduction lias in n way benefited tho men. The protection giv en to women hns led Indirectly to tho reduction of the hours of work of the men employed In that Industry, and as n result wnges hnve risen In mnny cases. "Industrial occupations, domestic du ties nnd motherhood Impose, n very grent burden on most women," snys the bulletin. "If, then, it is Impossible for 11 wouinu with n large family to do her washing nnd cleaning except 011 Saturday nights and If her vitality is often prematurely exhausted even when 8ho Is employed for only ten hours n day, tho excessive strain to which tho women in Industrial em ployment nro put in countries where long hours nro worked Is bound to re sult in self neglect on tho part of the mothers nnd In tho neglect of their children. "The majority of women," tho report continues, "muko use of tho addition al spare time secured to them by tho reduction of tho hours of lnbor to take greater euro of their homes. Young women nro nlso cnnblcd to cultivate their minds nnd to obtain domestic In struction. Only when they nre em ployed for short hours is It possible for young women to train themselves for more skilled trades nnd for the mothers of the next generation of workers to prepare themselves to bring up their children."
