London, May 22.
At a private meeting held at Westminster yesterday, attended by members of the House of Commons and manufacturers, a Tariff League was formed to organise public opinion by means of local committees.
The league, ignoring party politics, will endeavor to promote preferential trade within the Empire.
It was announced that after Mr Chamberlain's speech at Birmingham, the treasurer of the new league had secured the signatures of three thou* sand manufacturers to a petition praying for re arrangement of the fiscal duties.
