High Duty Is Levied in Bill on
Chemical Ware and
Apparatus.
PROTECTS NEW INDUSTRY
Debate Opened Fight Over
Levies Between Democrats
and Republicans.
NEW INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. THE House
passed to-day the first protective tariff
measure to be acted upon since the
Republicans regained control Of Con-
gress. The measure levies high duties
on chemical glassware and apparatus.
It goes to the Senate now.
Duties of so per cent. ad valorem
are levied by the bill on laboratory
glass and porcelain wares and on sur
gical and dental instruments. and as
per cent. ad valorem on optical glass
and philosophical. scientific and labora-
tory apparatus. The measure repeals
also the duty free provisions for i'm
psrts OF these articles for use by Gov
ernment bureaus and educational in
stitutions.
Debate on the measure. which was
framed by Representative Bacharacn
IN. J). Republican, opened the fight Of
the conflicting views of the tariff held
by Republicans and Democrats.
Representative Kitchin On. c., rank
ing Democratic member of the Ways and
Means Committee, which recommended
the passage of the bill, chided the Re
publican members OF 'monopolizing IA
voritism" by reporting several measures
of particular interest and benefit in their
own localities Republicans replied that
separate measures were reported to aid
industries that sprang up during the
war.
Manufacturers want a protective tar

swer to Mr.. Kitchins assertion that the
