April lO.-Tho senate finance committee has determined not to have hearings on the tariff bill. Manu facturers lt many lines of Industry nave appealed to Chairman Simmons and other members of the committee for an oppor tunity to present arguments against the rates proposed In the I'nderwood bill. The senate committee members take the position, however, that the hearings con ducted by Uui house ways and means committee In Jnnuary wcro sufficiently thorough to cover practically all the points the senate .needs to consider In connection with the tariff tevlalon. It Is believed now that the tariff ulll, after It finally reaches the senate, will not remain In the committee more than ten days. Some expert testimony and some new Information upon certain dis puted ideas may be secured by the com mittee, but no open hearings will bo held. The senate was not In session today and members continued the study of the tariff bill In private. Republican forces are preparing for a united attack on the democratic revision on the ground that It not only destroys all protection to many American Industries, but that in many features it practically Is a free trade bill. It Is expected that a confer ence of republicans will be held within a few days to discuss some of the more drastic, features of the proposed demo cratic revision. Chcmlcnl Schedule Approved.

Cold Storage is Given as Cause of High Living Cost WASHINGTON, April 10. Higher prices for cold storage products have been the rule ever since the Industry became commercially important as shown by data for more than thirty years back collected by the Department of Agri culture. George K. Holmes, chief of the division of production and distribution of the department, has discovered from a comprehensive study of these figures that during the years 1002 to 1911, there was a "general but not invariable rise of price to a higher level," as compared with prices In preceding years before cold storage was a developed Industry. As to uniformity of prices he finds that "the contention of the cold storage Interests that cold storage has counted for uniformity of prices Is largely true, although It Is not true for all commod ities nor for all comparisons of years and periods of years." There is a tendency towards such uni formity, he says In dressed poultry, but ter, eggs and mutton, while the reverse Is true as to fresh beef and fresh pork.
