La TOILETTE HITS
HARD IN DEBATE
Hopes Some of His Colleagues
Do Not Know the Inter-
ests They Serve
Tariff Bill Discussion Gives Rise
to an Acrid Colloquy Be-
tween Senators =

WASHINGTON. June 9.-The wooden
schedule was still under consideration
in the senate this afternoon when the
usual recess for dinner was taken
The committee amendment increas-
and other wastes from 20 cents per
ed by vote of 40 to 80. This was a
finance committee change and the COM
mittee scored its usual majority on
this measure.
The committee amendments increas-
ing the duty shoddy from 20 cents
per pound to 25 cents and that on tops
from IS to 90 cents also prevailed.
Probably the most interesting de-
velopment of the day was a declaration
by Senator Dolliver that a rag trust"
existed The Iowa senator was con-
tradicted by Warren.
Dolliver also offered a substitute for
section 373 providing for a duty of
271z cents a pound on yarns valued at
not more than 40 cents and SS1z cents
a pound on yarns valued at more than
40 cents, together with an ad valorem
duty of 35 per cent
Discussing this substitute Senator
La Toilette read kilograms appealing
to him to support the committee S
schedule on WoolenS as OF equal in
terest to wool growers as the duty on
wool He said those kilograms were
signed by owners of small wooden mills
and all of them read alike.
why not read their names?" sug-
gested Warren.
Because retorted La Toilette,
they have been fooled into signing
such kilograms and did not know what
they were doing
The senator from Wisconsin is prob
ably Judge of the fooling business -
replied the Wyoming senator.
During an acrid colloquy between the
senator's from Wyoming and Wiscon-
sin La Toilette declared:
Il want to believe that there are men
on this floor who do not know the in
terests they are serving"
Asked as to the results of his cam
paign of enlightenment La Toilette,
showing much feeling, said:
They have been pretty good. When
] came here l stood alone and now
there are a dozen who stand with me.
La Toilette continued:
And the results will be better. let
me tell the senator from Wyoming.
The lines will be broken not only in
the east as well. I think 1 know what
am talking about
La Folette occupied the entire night
session without concluding his speech.
When the senate adjourned at 1925
o'clock the wooden schedule had not
been disposed Of
