WASHINGTON, June 14.-Some routine
business preceded the resumption of
the tariff debate in the senate today.
Bills were passed as follows: To pay
Joseph Redfern, one of the Ford theater
victims, 50. 74S; to authorize the appoint
me mt of women as public school trustees
in the District of Columbia; for the de-
yelopnent and announcement of silk
culture in the United States: to pay the
heirs of James Bridger $4,000; bill for
the relief of the heirs of John Weight
man, passed some time ago, was on
motion of Mr.. Quay, reconsidered and
reconmitted. When the tariff bill was
laid before the senate Mr.. Lodge took
the floor with AN argument against free
wool.
Mr.. Teller Rep.. Col.) followed Mr..
Lodge with some remarks in favor OF
duty on raw wool. In the course OF his
speech he read statement from the
New York Tribune to the effect that
''the senatorial auctioneers" In order
to save the sugar schedule and pass
their bills had traded off prohlbitory du-
ties on cotton and woolens.
NJ. Vest Joined Mr.. Aldrich in all en-
phatic denial that there had been any
bargains to obtain
PRoHIBITORY DUTIES.
Later, while discussing the reduction
! of the rates on woolens. Mr.. Hawley in
terrupted Mr.. Teller to remark that
these reductions would result lnevlta-
{ bly, in lowering the wages OF the opera
|, tiyes 30 or 40 per cent.
B "Either reduction of wages or the
i manufacturers would quit.
|. "They will not quit" replied Mr..
4 Teller. '.They have too much capital
involved. They will reduce wages, and
operatives, faced with starvation, will
istand the reduction. Men who live by
their labors cannot usake successful
contest against capital"
MIR. Hoar, as one of the representa-
stiyes of the great wooleu manufac;ur-
ling states, ipdorsed the statements
made that the new England mannfact-
urers did not desire free wool. 1t would
sbe base thing for them to undertake
to secure the advantage OF free raw ma
Sterial for themselves by the vote, bar
gain or silence of their representatives
IN congress.
Mr. Pla,t (Rep., Conn., followed with
saHsargulnent along the line of that Of
Mr. Hoar, denying, like the Massa-
tchuSettS senators. that the WOODEN
|. manufacturers favored
FREE WOOL.
They believed in protection as an en-
tirety for all alike.
Mr.. Higgins (Rep.. Del.) followed in
opposition to free wool.
Mr. Chandler talked for an hour in
favor OF ample protection to wool and
.W00lens.
Mr.. Delphi followed with an argument
against free wool. During the progress
of his speech lie remarked that it was
whispered about the senate that the
to the bill had surrendered
and that the bill would pass before the
end of the present month. Ii he could
prevent il, he declared the bill would
not be voted upon until the people had
+ had chance to give an expression OF
their opinion at the general elections
next fall. When the hour of + o'clock
arrived and Mr.. Harris showed no sign
sof moving an adjournment. Mr.. quay
Mr.. Dolph and asked him if
{ it would not be convenient for him to
proceed tomorrow.
"But the senator has not concluded
his remarks" suggested Mr.. Harris.
ssHe is willing to wait until tomor-
row. said Mr.. Quay, good-numoredly.
"rhe senator IRON Oregon" returned
Mr.. Harris, sarcastically, has not been
heard from before on this bill. and l
trust the senator from PENNSYLVANIA
will afford the fullest opportunity 70
proceed with his remarks. Let him 20
sOu tonight" he added. with
AN IMPERIOUS WAVE
of his hand, but Mir. Quay was not will
ing, and after stating that the usual
Z hour of adjournment had passed. he
moved they adjourn. The motion was
! lost, 1928, whereupon Mr.. QUAY moved
/ thai the senate proceed with the con.
/ sideration Of executive business. This
motion was also defeated, 10-44.
but it was apparent that the
Democratic managers could not
! force the hands of the Republi-
! cans tonight, and Mr.. Harris, after
again calling attention to the intermi-
nable delay upon the bill. then yielded.
I In doing so he declared that he had an
understanding with Mr.. Aldrich, so far
l as two senators could bind their re-
! spective sides, vote should have been
! taken tonight on free wool. "Both he
. and l have been thwarted." said he.
! Mr.. Aldrich confirmed this statement,
au the same time stating that the debate
on this paragraph of the wool schedule
was about exhausted, and he had no
doubt vote would be had upon it to-
morrow. Mr.. Harris said he would
yield to the inevitable, but he held out
isle dire threat OF a night session unless
vote were had tomorrow. Then. on his
motion, at 6:l5 the senate adjourned.
