INTERVENING THE TARIFF COMMISSIONERS.
The senate finance committee to-day
gave further hearing to n. W. Oliver, of
the tariff commission, in regard to the
metal schedule proposed by the commits
sion A prominent member of the COM
mittee thinks it is very probable that the
committee will decide to bling in an
amendment to their pending tariff bill, to
provide for making two classihcations of
steel and impose higher duties on bars,
ingots, etc., made of higher priced steel
than on blooms of less costly material.
The committee have found,upon investi-
CATION, that the classification proposed by
the tariff commission would admit of the
same rate high-priced charcoal steel from
Swedish iron made by the Siemans- Martin
process, and low-priced ingOts made by
the Bessemer process, the former being
valued at about 1920, and the latter at
only from $50 to $50 per ton. The com
mittee viii, therefore, probably adopt a
Limitation that will distinguish the two for
import purposes. The tariff commission
recommended this limitation at the
weight of blooms Of not less than 500
Ids,and not less than FIVE inches square,
not less than five inches least diameter
in cross section.the rate to be six-tenths Of
cent per pound. This limitation the COM
mittee have stricken out. The result which
they now find would be to admit high
priced steel at six-tenths of a cent per
pound, which, under The commission bill
would pay two cents per
pound. This the committee
think would do injustice to manufacturers
of fine steel in this country, and it is
thought they will undoubtedly adopt some
plan for remedying the defect. The com
mittee have also become convinced that its
proposed reduction of duty on pig iron
from 1912 per ton as on the tariff COM
mission bill 10 So would work great in
jury to domestic manufacturers, and will
probably reconsider this action,
and recommend tariff commits
sion rate. They have received
remonstTGnces from manufacturers in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and otneV slater, as
serting that the Sc rate would compel the
closing OF many furnaces. Late tins after
noon Oliver was given a second and final
hearing, at which he furnished the COM
mittee information of importance with
reference to the recommendation of the
tariff commission for an increase of duty
upon tin plate and hoop iron, and the i'm
position of duties upon steel blooms IN
der newly invented processes.
