FIRST TARIFF
BILL PASSED
Democratic Forces Put Steel Tariff
Bill Through House BY Large
Majority.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The Demo
cratic metal tariff revision bill pro-
viding reductions averaging 35 per
cent from the existing steel and iron
duties of the Payne-Aldrich law pass
ed the House today by vote of 21O
to 109. Republican effort to amend
or debate the bill were brought to a
sudden end when Democratic Leader
Underwood refused to permit the Of
fering Of further amendments and
forced the House to vote upon the
final passage of the measure.
Twenty insurgent Republicans vot-
ed for the bill while the Democratic
delegation from Colorado voted
against the Democratic majority.
The regular Republicans protested
to the last against the application of
rules closing the debate. Mr.. Under
wood was charged by Republican
Leader Mann with the ruthless ap-
plication" of the force of the Demo
cratic majority.
The bill will face stormy recep-
tion in the senate. It will reach the
upper body today and be referred to
the Finance committee. Both Repub.
lican and Democratic Senators have
been deferring other legislation with
a view to concentrating attention
on the tariff matters as they emerge
from the House, but no course Of ac
tion has been mapped out.
