' ! By EDWARD W. PICKARD on many IMPORT duties and Industrial products are raised to new high levels by the Hawley tariff bill which was passed by the house of representatives. The (Inal vote was 204 to 147. Twelve Republicans voted against the measure, hut on the other hand twenty Democrats, mostly from the Southern states, voted for It. The dozen Republicans in opposition were: A. H. Andreses, Victor Chrlstgau, Frank Cl ague, G. G. Goodwin and C. G. Selvlg (Minn.). Merlin Hull (Wis.). K. II. Campbell (Iowa). C. A. Chrlstoplierson (S. !.), T. J. Halsey (Mo.), W. I. Lambert-so- n (Kan.), F. 1L La Guardla (N. Y.), and James M. Beck (Ia.). The Republicans from central agricultural states voted against the bill, chiefly because of failure to boost duties on dairy and other farm products high enough and because of the Imposition of duties on building materials. The Increased duty on sugar was the chief reason for the adverse vote of Representative La Guardla. All of the more Important changes made In the tariff by the measure are upward except that the rates pn childrens books are reduced. So, too, la the rate on carillons, If any. The hill ends the terms of mem- bers of the present bipartisan tariff and provides for the appointment of seven new members on a nonpartisan basis, with salaries of $12,000. The flexible tariff system Is retained, but with a chnnge In formula for the ascertainment of costs. The senate finance committee, to whose hands the Hawley bill Is now committed, will take several months to rewrite the measure, after which it will be debated by the senators. Purlng that period, It Is hoped, congress can take a recess and escape some of the hot weather. commission decisive vote of 57 to 20 the passed the combined bill that was so obnoxious to the drys of the South.

The settlement was largely due to the efforts of Miss Anna Welnstock, who was sent to the scene by the federal Department of Labor. She obtained from the ruyon mills an offer that was much more conciliatory than any previously made. The companies agreed not to discriminate against any former employee because of his or her affiliation with the union, provided the employees activities were legitimate and were not carried on at the plants. The management agrees to meet a committee of employees for the purpose of adjusting any grievance. among THERE was great excitement of the Middle West the faculty committee of the Western Conference, usually known as the Big Ten, expelled the University of Iowa from the conference, effective Junuury 1, 1930. But In a few words, the reason for this drastic action was that Iowa had been administering athletic funds for the support of Individual athletes. The Iowa authorities, from Iresident Jessup down, professed to be exceedingly surprised by the expulsion, and the student body in Iowa City was tremendously worked up. There were ominous threats that the action would result In the breaking up of the Western Conference because other Institutions also were vulnerable. It seems not unlikely that the date of actual expulsion was set so far ahead In order that the trouble might be adjusted meanwhile and Iowa permitted to retain her membership, and there are predictions that this Is what will happen. The championship track and field meet of the Big Ten. was held at Northwestern Just before Iowa was expelled, and was won by the University of Illinois.

The reference to the fust saddle horse was guarantee that no questions would be asked before the price was paid and no questions answered after the re ciplent had ridden away from the Three Bnr with his spoils. Yet, If the thing were true. It was the most flagrant violation of the law ever launched, even Id the Uoldrlver Strip where transgression was the rule. For the branded men were not It wus merely wanted on any charge the wholesale posting of rewards fot the lives of some fifteen citizens whose standing In the community wus legal ly the same as the rest prize money offered by an Individual concern for Its enemies without reference tn the law.

Evartj rls flatly denied that there wtis shred of truth Id the report But these very natural denials hud served only to strengthen mens belief In the truth of the report ; and Inevitably they had established a hard line that cut off the men so named from the rest of the countryside. Harris knew that his own life wus forfeit any time he chanced to ride alone. He had not a doubt but that Slade had put a price on his head and that perhaps a dozen men were patiently walling for a chance at him. Any man whose name appeared on the black list which he was supposed to have sponsored would overlook no opportunity to retaliate In kind. In addition to this there was always the chance of a swift raid on the men who had filed their homestead rights In the valley. As a consequence Harris had taken The full every possible precaution. force of Three Bar haDds had been kept on the pay roll Instead of belihl let off Immediately after the beef was shipped. These riders were stationed In line camps out on the range, their ostensible purpose being to hold all Three Rur cows close to the home ranch but In reality they served two ends, acting as a cordon of guards as well. Three times In as many weeks strangers drifting In from other localities stopped In Uoldrlver and profanely reported the fact that for no reason whatever, while passing through the Three Bar range, they had been held up and forced to state their business In that neighborhood. Hostilities had ceased. The Three Bnr girl had anticipated a series of raids against the cows wearing her brand, swift forays In Isolated points of tier range, but no stock losses were reported. On the surface it appeared that Slade had given up all thought of harassing the Three Bar. But the girl had come to know Slade. He would never recede from his former stand. She noted that Harris vigilance was never for an instant relaxed and it was gradually Impressed upon her that the cessation of petty annoyances held nore of menace than of Slade hud seen that the assurance. Three B r was not to be discouraged in Its course and he now waited for an opportunity to launch a blow that would cripple, striking simultaneously at every exposed point and delaying only for a propitious time. In the face ot continue!' Immunity she was tilled with a growing conviction of Impending trouble. Christmus had found the range covered with a fresh tracking snow which precluded possibility of a raid and all hands had been summoned to the home rest The frolic ranch for a two-dawas over and the hands back on the range.

The girl nodded without comment, content to leave him to his thoughts, her mind pleasantly occupied with her own. For long her evenings had been lonely but now she had come to look forward to the conferences before the blazing logs. She had made no attempt to analyze the reasons for the new contentment which bad transformed her evenings, formerly periods of drab reflections. Into the most pleasant portion of each day. The weekly letters still came from Deane The girl valued Harris as a friend and partner without apparent trace of more Intimate regard.
