The second order revoked permission for policemen to take half an hour for meals while on duty. Revocation of the meal hour permission came after the board of estimate had- postponed until tomorrow further consideration of a request by Commissioner Enright fpr nearly 800 more uniformed members of his force.

Dec. Of the Fordney emergency tariff bill In the House and decinion of Its Ist4I1- porters to call it up for consideration Wednesday was followed today by of open antagonism both in ii taoi nnntd Senate. ett thxotenenl ht flfneti tP idtt yn 1 yTt the flaI IP' sr II gi of minority views by Representative Rainey, Democrat, Illinois, scathingly denouneing the Ineatture from beginning to end and by decielon of the Senate Democratic steeling committee to resist hatity enactment of any etteh logimiation. Chairman Fordney of the 'llouse ways and means committee. in reporting the measure, urged action not because it was perfect but because it was the best obtainable under the circumstances.

The report declared that remedial legislation was urgently necessary to a mituation which was deacribeil as rapidly becoming worse and likely to bring ruin to the agricultural induittry. The filing of the committees' report diectoeed that the measure had been mile applicable fer a period of ten months from passage instead of the one year period previously fixed. Chairman Fordney submitted with the report estimates of the Treasury Department showing that on the basis of available import figures. approximately $130,000,000 in revenue would be derived from the duties to be Imposed under the measure. The cetnmodities enumerated in the bill now Produce less than $5,000,000 annually.

On the voting in the ways and means committee on reporting the bill, two Republicans and four Democrats voted in the negative. Representative Treadway, Massachusetts, and Tilson, Connecticut, were understood to have been the Republicans who stood against the measure, while Representatives Rainey, Hull, Tennessee, Oldfleld, 'Arkansas, and Collier, Mississippi, were thelpemocrats who opposed the legislation. The Republican committee members were said to have opposed the bill on the ground that if tariff legislation was to be enacted it should include protection. for manufactured commodities, few of which Nr allowed to remain in the final draft. This contention appeared to have gained some strength among representatives from textile and other manufacturing districts and is expected to precipitate heated Representative Knutson, Republican, Minnesota, chairman of the recently organized conference of representatives from farming districts.

said he was sure there would be bitter opposition from the urban reprrsentatives, but added: "We members who see the need of the farmers for help are prepared for a battle royal. We think we can muster 200 votes for the bill and I per venally serve notice on those people who seek to defeat this bill will sweat blood before they get' anything for their industries when It comes to a permanent tariff unless they do the fair, thing now." Against this catne the statement of the Senate Democratic steering committee that they did not regard the measure as an proposal and would demand that it be the finance committee in regular order when it reaches the Senate. Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, a Democrat, served notice from the floor of the Senate that he would oppose the bill. "The Democratic party," he declared, "cannot afford to stultify itself at this time upon so important a question of principle as that which the tariff proposals Representative Rainey, in presenting minority views, warned of dangers which he said would the business of the country should the emergency measure pass.He declared the measure amounted to an ernbarge and that it would "inevitably lead to retaliatory traffic."

Brokers and banking houses stated that a large proportion of the selling originated out of town, especially in the Middle West where money, even for the short periods has been almost unobtainable in the past fortnight. In the stock market new minimum prices of the year were recorded by several of the shippings, coppers and issues of no definite description. Liquidation in that quarter so far as could bp ascertained, also was of an enforced character. The reaction in the securities market was moderate but almost continuous. Sentiment was rendered increasingly bearish by cables from London and Buenos Aires, which reported bank failures at those ckters.

4.111 MARYLAND RACE TRACKS HAD PROSPEROUS SEASON Washington, Dec. 20.Anti-strike legislation which has gone a part of the way through Congress got momentary consideration again today in the Senate.

Senator Poindexter said that he intended to give the Wisconsin senator a full opimrtunity to bring the recpnsideration motion up for debate, but if that was not done, he would ask the Senate to table it and let the bill proceed. Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansa5 protested in behalf of the motion to reconsider, although Senator LaFollette, who was in the chamber, did not join in the debate.

Senator Smooth, Republican, Utah, at this point interjected: "So far as I am concerned, there is no desire to shut off debate, and I am consequently in favor of letting the Motion to reconsider come up for discussion." Vice President Marshall ruled that the bill, although technically passed by the Senate, could still be brought up for debate. The Senate adjourned before further action could be taken.

20.flenry Starr Richardson, recently appointed secretary of the State Board of Moving Picture Censors, told the City Business Club today that if the board listened to all complaints about movies there would soon be an end to motion pictures. Mr. Richardson said it was the aim of the censors to pass as many pictures as possible. "Only where a picture is sacrellgbous or obscene is it the duty of censors to eliminate it," he added. "The most deplorable feature of the present type of movie is, the great number of films shown with a 'social raffles' in the title role.

The taking of a criminal for the hero has a dangerous effect on girls and boys. "Last year Over 50,000 films were brought to the State board for censorship, 319 of which were cut out, and 70 per cent. passed without any elimination, which is an improvement over the last few'years." Mr. Richardson said much unjust criticism is being directed at the board of censors. dr, Washington, Dec.

20.Authority was granted today by the Interstate Commerce Commission for permanent consolidation of the transportation business and properties of the Adams, American, Veils-Fargo and Company and Southern Express Compania's into the American Railway Express Company. The commission said that it was their belief that the public would best be served by one consolidated company serving all lines with equal rates. The permit granted by the corn-mission was based on an application filed by the four express companies last March. Hearings were held by the commission in August, representatives of the companies, shippers and the public appearing to present arguments. The commission divided on the question of permitting the express consolidation, effected by the railroad administration as a war measure, to be made permanent, Commissioners Mc Chord and Meyer dissenting from the majority and presenting a minority report written by the The consolidation, the dissenting report asserted, "creates a monopoly" and "destroys every semblance of competition." The other members of the committee in their report declared they were of the opinion "that the public interest will be promoted by the consolidation." "It will now be practically impossible," declared the report written by Commissioner McChord, for "another company to enter the express business in competition with the Consolidated Express Company.

We can, of course, regulate the rates and certain practices of the American Railway Express Company, but we will have no control Over its attitude toward the public. We cannot require it to render to the House that efficiency, courtesy, and fair dealing which competition compels. "It is roy view that the time has come when the carriers should give serious consideration to the conducting of the express business themselves. That business has reached such proportions that it is now a parasite on the freight traffic of the railroads." The commission ruled that suits pending against the various companies must be settled by the courts and not by the Interstate Commerce Commission. While "deploring" the treatment accorded by certain express companies to claimants of damages Ind the practice of only accepting service in suits at their offices in New York, the commission held it c.ould not pass upon that phase of the claim.
