Sugar on Free List May /,
Unless Houses Reach Agreement

Washington, D. C.-The senate late
Wednesday adopted its substitute for
the house free sugar repeal resolution,
extending the present duty of l cent a
pound on sugar until May /, 1920. The
vote was 40 to 80.
Four Democrats Joined the Republi-
cans in voting against the substitute.
They favor the fiat repeal adopted by
the house. A sharp controversy in
conference between the two houses is
predicted. Anticipating that the house
would insist upon it's resolution, Sem
ators Lodge, Simmons and Stone were
named as the senate conferees.
Unless a conference agreement is
reached and approved before May |
sugar will go on the free list until
such time as the repeal or extension of
the duty can be made effective.
Most of the tariff discussion did not
touch on the sugar issue, which had
been discussed previously, but was de-
voted to an amendment by Senator
Works of California, to increase the
tariff on lemons and other citrus fruits
to cent pound. This was defeated
by vote of A to 20, Senator Phelan,
of California, being the only Demo-
crat to support it.
Senator Phelan declared seven coun-
ties in California comprised the whole
lemon producing region in the United
States and that the reduction of the
duty on lemons had caused loss Of
$500, 900 in revenue.
Senator Vardeman opposed the
Works amendment and said, while he
would vote for the senate substitute
sugar resolution, he would not give his
assent to the house measure.

necessities of life for battleships that
