Insurgent hopes for tariff move tied to statehood bill
Washington rumors of a Philippines tariff compromise circulate among Republicans but no firm proposal has emerged. Leaders expect to pass the Philippine bill with no major amendments, while statehood for Arizona and New Mexico remains a point of contention. Some advocates call for a referendum approach, but leaders dismiss it as untenable. Delegates to the United Mine Workers convention in Indianapolis number about 3649 as talks on wages and eight hour day loom. An explosion in Phoenix and a fatal self-inflicted poisoning in Streator, plus a murder plot involving lovers, add to a day of violent and tragic incidents across states.
