some of the members from milling
and fruit bearing states.
Flour has been placed on the free
list In the administration bill, while
q duty OF 10 per Q n ad valorem is
left on wheat. Representatives from
milling states contend that is a dis
elimination against the millers and

put wheat on the free list or to place
. compromising duty on -four. Oppo-
sition developed also to the free list
