SENATE VOTES REPEAL
OF RECIPROCITY LAW
Duties on Pig Iron Are Cut as Re
suit Of Steel Bill
Debate.

The adoption of amendments repeating
the entire Canadian reciprocity law.
placing a long list of agricultural imple-
ments on the free list, reducing the duties
on pig iron to per cent and on ferro-
silicon to 10 per cent. and fixing a duty
of 81 per ton on print paper. marked
the consideration of the steel bill in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. Senator
Hepburn spoke in opposition to the bill
in the late afternoon. and adjournment
was taken about o'clock with the under
standing he was to continue today.
The question of repeating the Canadian
reciprocity pact, which was rejected by
Canada after Congress had accepted 1t in
behalf of the United States. was forced
by Senator Gronna Of North Dakota, who
was one Of the bitter opponents OF the
pact when 1t was before Congress.
At frs. he proposed to repeal all OF
the law except that portion permitting
the free admission OF print paper from
Canada. Senator Gallinger moved the re-
peal of the whole law. including the paper
provision. That would have had the ef-
feet of putting a duty of 3d. IS per ton on
print paper.
Senator Cummins was opposed to such
a high duty. and he asked that the duty
be fixed at 81 per ton. That suggestion
thus modified. the amendment repeating
the reciprocity law was adopted by the
Senate, 81 to %. Democrats generally
voted against the amendment, but regular
republicans and most of the insurgents
were favorable to it.
