Wellington, D. C., Auk. II. 1
By a vote of 36 to 20 the Senate to
night wrote into the Fordney-McCum
ber tariff bill an amendment giving the
President of the United States broad
authority to revise tariff rates without
reference to Congress.
The adoption of the amendment, in
a form almost entirely changed from
the way It first was proposed by Sena
tor McCumber, followed a bitter all
day fight. Its application, further
more. was restricted to July 1, 1924.
While sweeping authority Is be
stowed on the President to alter the
rates to within 00 per cent, above or
below those fixed in the Fordney
McCumber bill, the Presidential power
was greatly restricted from that origi
nally proposed. Changes In rates are
to be initiated by the United States
Tariff Commission, all the proceedings
of which are to be published; the
President will not be allowed to change
the form of any duty or proclaim
duties in excess of csta,blfshed maxi
mums, and the difference In the cost
of production at hrfme and abroad is
to bo the njeasyfe of the tariff rather
than, as prlnrrtrily asked, tho difference
In the "conditions of competition."
In the final vote three Republicans
oppose'1 the amendment. They were
Senators Gooding (Idaho), Stanchfield
(Ore.) and McNary (Ore.). The
Democratic opposition wan solid. The
Republicans who voted against the pro
posal did so because they objected to
the basis on which the President was
authorized to readjust rates.
Time Limit Wins.
President Harding appeared In the
fight when he sent a leHjj'to Senator
McCumber indorsing th^proposal along
the lines of bis tariff message to Con
gress, declaring that unusual economic
conditions warranted the unusual ac
tion. He asked also that the Tariff
Commission be designated as the me
dium through which the President would
act in changing rates.
The Democrats fought the proposal
at every stand, first the principle In
volved and then the detalls.\ Senator
Reed (Dem., Mo.) branded as a
"traitor'' every Senator who would vote
for the amendment, which, he said, vio
lated the fundamental theories of Anglo
Saxon government. The Democrats
were unanimous in declaring that the
proposal Is unconstitutional.
Senator Bursutn (Rep., N. M.) ob
? tamed the adoption of an amendment
' limiting tho President's power to fix
rattrs to July 1, 1924. The vote was
34 v 18. While the Finance Commit
tee opposed the limitation, eighteen Re
publicans voted for it. They wers Sen
ators, Bursum (N. M.), Cameron
(Ariz.). Capper (Kan.), Gooding
(Idaho), Harrold (Okla.), McCormlck
(III.), McNary (Wash.), Moses (N.
II.). Nicholson (Col.), Norbcck (Neb.),
Oddle (N'ev.), Rawson (Iowa), Short
rirtge (Cal.). Stanflcld (Ore.), Ftlrl'ng
(Ore.), Sutherland (W. Va.). Wads
worth (N. Y.) and Warren (Wyo.).
End* Controversy.
The adoption of the Bursum amend
ment paved the way for the easy vic
tory in the proposal to give the Presi
dent power to readjust rates. Senators
who otherwise would have opposed the
scheme voted for it on the ground that
s world emergency existed In which a
flexible tariff was essential. Without a
time limit the amendment was in danger
of defeat. Besides. It was understood
that ths President would veto the taxlff
bill unless he" reeelvfd such authority.
When the Senate disposed of the
amendment relating to Presidential
powers at 8 :30 o'clock to-night It passed
on to an amendment extending the au
thority of the Federal Trade Commis
sion. Under the unanimous consent
agreement by which the tariff bill Is
being rushed through to final vote the
Senate waj? bound to dispose of this
provision to-night.
By a vote of 34 to 18 an smendmert
of Senator Freltnghuysen (Rep., N. J.)
was rejected, although some of the es
sential features were Incorporated In
sections which were rewritten. Three
Democrats?Senators Ashurst (Ariz.).
Hitchcock (Neb.) and Kendrlck (Wyo.)
?voted for the Frellnghuysen proposal
which was Intended to give the Tariff
Commission adrfed authority to deter
mine rates on a scientific basis. Pro
posals to Incresse the salary of mem
bers of the Tariff Commission and to
approprlste $1,000.r>00 more for its ac
tivities were voted down.
To-morrow, when the Senate reverts
hack to a discussion of rates, |n the
sundries schedule, an fffort will be made
to obtain an agreement fixing a day fo
flnal vote. The expectation Is that flnj!
action will bo arranged for before the
end of next week, not later tha.i next
Saturday. With the action tn-aight the
most controverted sections of the tarlft
bill are out of the way so far us the
Senate Is concerned.

?It Is officially announced that Na

and were given an enthusiastic recep
tion. Seven National troops were
killed, many were wounded, and some
are missing. It is reported that ttyree
of the.men were murdered by rebels.
Some fifty rebel prisoners are said to
have been captured.
The retreating rebels burned six
barracks and three bridges.
The rebel casualties, according to
the official announcement, were six
dead and twenty wounded.
The National forces are in full pos
session of the post office ajid the cus
tom house.
National troops also have occupied
Clonmel. County Tipperary, without i
serious fighting, although sharp en
counters had occurred previously in the
surrounding districts.
Conflagrations raged in Cork through
out Thursday night. The firemen were
powerless to. put out all the fires. The
business part of the city is In ruins.
The damage is estimated at {2,000.000. |
Free State forces from Passage vtast
consolidated their positions and pushed
outposts to the outskirts of the city, but
they were not reported to have entered
the city. The bulk of the rebels are be
lieved to have evacuated the city, al
though leaving behind numerous snipers
who are concealed in the ruins of build
ing and terrorizing citizens.
A man who left Cork Wednesday and
arrived here this evening by way of
Liverpool said the rebels were making
preparations to evacuate their principal
popltions in the city, the Victoria and
Ballincoilig barracks, some of the
buildings of which were set on fire
Tuesday. They had removed every
thing from the Union Quay barracks
and stripped the Government house of
everything, including Its fireplace.
According to .other reports trem Cork
the Free Staters, after landing at Pass
age West, fought their way through
Roches town and Thursday stood before
Douglas, where there were sharp ex
changes of firing with t'.Kj ?obel out
posts.
There is some divergence as to the
extent of the fighting. Some of the
wounded brought here on a steamship
say the rebels were strotMfly posted
?t Passage West and that the Free
Staters had to fight their way through
under intense fire, a number bel'iff
wounded and one killed. They reported
that tho Government troops who landed
at Union Hall also fought their way
through the hostile districts.
The crew of another vessel arriving
from Cork said the Admiralty house and

Aboard the S. 8. Adriatic off New
England, August 12 (Saturday).
The explosion on the Adriatic oc
curred at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing:. Spontaneous combustion in the
reserve coal hatch is said to have been
the cause. "Whatever the cause, its
rumbles shook the echoes and its flare
of light lit up the sea; but the officers
and crew Imparted an air of confi
dence to the passenger and this
helped.
True, the rigging was on fire; true, a
terrific explosion had taken place;
true, a ?flre was raging in the coal
hole; but Capt. David said we iwere
all right, and Capt. David proved right.
For two hours we drifted through,
with the pumps pouring water into
that fire, and they were the longest
two hours any passenger there ever
passed in his or her life.
Then Capt David comes up out of
the grime and dust and says; "All
j danger Is past."
! The pumps stop. The engines start.
The ship is off. And we all thank God
I for Capt. David and his efficient crew
| of White Star officers.
Aboard the Steamship Adriatic, off
! New England, Aug. 11 (by wireless to
I the Associated Press)?An explosion
1 occurring to-day aboard the steamship
Adriatic in the reserve coal hatch killed
( five members of the crew and Injured
i four others.
The explosion was caused by spon
taneous combustion. Of the five of the
crew who were killed dhe was believed
to have been blown overboard.
The following Cescrlptlon of the ex
plosion was given by Martin H. Glynn:
"It came Ilka a roar of thunder. The
captain of the ship, Hugh R. pavld. is a
strict disciplinarian, and this showed to
day when he performed great work. He
had the fire in the hold under control
and the ship again on her way a few
hours after the explosron.
"The discipline and courtesy of all
the officers were admirable, and th^
members of the crew were true to the
best traditions of Knfcish seamanship.
"The explosion and th<* attending
flash awakened me. I landed on derk
to find scores before me, and there we
stayed until the sun came -up, and what
we saw was complimentary to human
! nature.
"It was a tense time. There was a.
solemnity, a seriousneus in the air. a
] quietness of speech, a hush of ex
? pectancy and a looking of fate in the
1 face, but no whimpering, no sniveling,
no hysterics, no walling, no word of
complaint.
Woman'* Voice Reassures.
"Then, while the boat was still drlft
! ;ng and the pumps plugging away, from j
1 out of the shadows 'came tho beautiful
voire of a woman, who said :
" 'Capt. David will pull us through all
! r'**A man next to her repeated It. Then
some one else took It up. and so It went
from Up to lip. down the line and around
the deck: 'Capt. David will pull us
through all right."
"And he did."
To-day while tli* sun was sinking
two of the victims, enshrouded In the
Union .lack, were consigned to the
vaults of the deep. Nearly 1.400 people
stood In reverential attitude as the
bodies slipped over the sld?< of the ship
for which they had given their lives.
Passengers raised $7,000 to care for
families of the d??ad and Injured.
The Whit* Star Line steamship Adri
atic is making for this port under full
speed, despite her misfortune.
The first word of the ship's trouble
was so varue and the radio message so
brief that It was feared yesterday an
other big marine disaster wai occurring.
While traveling at full speed about
1.200 miles from New York a sudden
explosion shook the big ship and Art
followed swiftly. Wireless tressa*cs
were Immediately sent, giving the posi

Chicago, Aug. 11.?Reports received
here by railroad officials announce that
walkouts of brotherhood men are con

morrow mining brotherhood em
ployees of the entire Milwaukee di
vision of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad were scheduled to
i walk out. Men who were on trains
when the order was issued were di
rected to leave them when the trains
reached their terminals.
From Los Angeles H. P. Matthews,
general coast lines chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, sent
out a telegram authorizing brother
hood clerks on the Santa Fe coast lines
to walk out if working under "hazard
ous conditions." At Prescott, Ariz.,
members of the "Big Four" Brother
hoods employed on the Santa Fe left
their posts of duty.
A complete tieup of passenger traffic
j on Union Pacific and Santa Fe lines
I in Los Angeles was threatened with
the receipt of news that firemen and
switchmen on the Union Pacific at
Ogden had gone on a strike.
Armed Guard* Blamed.
Members of the "Big Four" brother
hoods at Needles, San Bernardino end
Barstow have left their posts because
of the presence of armed guards-tn the
railroad company's yards and decline to
return, it was stated, until the. guards
are removed and dangerous equipment
repaired.
At Fresno the entire yard force has
' quit, according to dispatches, because of
the presence of guards. The same situa
tion exists at Needles. All the workers
? have left their posts because of the pres
, ( nee of armed guards.
It wan announced by officials of the
Santa Fe to-night that It had received
a telegram from W. O. Inire, chief of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
in which he advised them that he to
day had notified trainmen who left the
Santa Fe's Western lines that the sus
pension of work is unauthorized and
ordered them to return.
The meoaa^t' from Mr. 'Lee was re
ceived after telegrams hart been sent
to brotherhood chiefs on the Santa Fe
advisiag them that work had been sus

been submitted, and that the men who
were guarding railroad property, con
cerning whom complaint had been made
when the men quit work, were for the
moat part Deputy 'United States Mar
shale, Sheriffs and other local peace of
ficers.
A reply from these brotherhood of

officers. It was said that no messages

According to the ntllroa<l officials the
striking brakemen, firemen, engineers
' .'ind conductors at Needles, Fresno,
Bakerslleld and Ran Bernardino walked
out under orders from the "Big Four"

The railroad officials believe that the
walkout will be classed as an "outlaw"
strike by the union heads, hut only for
the purpose of avoiding trouble with the
Federal Oovemment. They point out
that the battling up of the lines running
out of T/oe Angeles has been accom
i plished by the railroad mert at a smull
< cost to themselves, as only a few of the
brotherhood men are affected. The fire
men, engineers, conductors nnd brakc

GOVERNMENT TO CHECKMATE
STRIKE VIOLENCE BY ACTION
Special Dispatch to Tub New Yobk Hekai.d.

Wuahincton, I>. Auk- II.
N official statement was made from the White House after the
Cabinet meeting to-day to the effect that "there can be no
strike anywhere of any character which will prevent the
Government authorizing the agents of law and order to protect both
life and property."
This statement was construed as a direct reply to statements
of the brotherhood leaders that men should leave wherever their
lives are in danger. There have been many statements of armed
guards menacing the safety of railroad employees at work.
The Cabinet gave Its entire time to-day ta discussion of the
industrial situation. The President, however, has not yet developed
a definite program of legislation.
No determination was reached as to what should be done with
the appeal from the Governors of five States to the President asking
that he take over the mines. %
It was also made known from the White House that the Ad
ministration "Is not going A) be involved In any posturing or any
utterance of threats In either the coal or railroad strikes." The
statement was made because, it was said, a lot of people felt that
the President should show his teeth or wave a big stick and go
about brandishing it in some threatening way, but the Administra
tion is going to try to do things instead of threatening to do them.

Senate leader* after conferring with
i those House members who have al
I rridy arrived in Washington corisid
i ered to-day the granting of blanket
authoritj^to President Harding to deal
1 with the strike situation as necessity
I may require.
j Such general authority, It is ex
I plained, would gi%>e the President the
power to take over the railroads if he
j sees fit, or any part of them, any num
ber of coal mines nccessary to prevent I
a fuel famin?, and to use the full
power of tho Government to see that
its mandates are obeyed.
The determination of Congress to
deal firmly with the strike, if it ? no
quickly settled, was supported by the
reports of House members arrlving
early for the session which will begin
on Tuesday. These members bring
back word that the public is fully cog
nizant of the danger which will result i
from a prolongation of the railroad
and (oa 1 strikes, and is ready to sup
port the President in any course he
may take.
The public, these members say, is los
ing patience with any disposition to
temporise with the acute phase of the
situation now presented. Virtually all
of the States report coal running short.
The* are threatened with industrial
paralysis an<j all of tho evidences of
returning prosperity promise to be,
wiped out by the continuation of the
coal strike, aggravated by the threat
ened spread of the railroad strike.
Among those who brought this report
to Washington were Representatives
Rodenburg (Illinois), Hull (Iowa) and
Taylor (Tennessee).
Fas-or Drastic Action.
These members say the public real
ises that not only Is the country facina '
an Industrial slump on account of the
strikes, but actual distress and possible
loss of life next winter.

Congress to this crisis and that It Is

not be a bar, according to (he carlv
reported opinion. Neither the unions
nor the employers. It Is claimed, should
prevail naalnst the right of the public
a? a whole to be supplied with necessi
