EMERGENCY TARIFF
ADOPTED BY HOUSE
BY 1856 TO 86 VOTE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Over the
protests of q defiant minority, the
house last night adopted the Fordney
emergency tariff bill by vote Of 1876
to SO. The vote was taken at 8:45
o'clock after eight hours Of debate.
1t was evident long before the vote
vas taken that supporters Of the mea-
sure, designed to protect some twenty
odd farm products for ten-months'
period, had the situation well in hand.
But Representative Henry T. Rainey.
Democrat, of Illinois, leading the OPP
position opened bitter attack which
increased in intensity as the debate
wore on.
Paragraph by paragraph, he assailed
the measure, while the Republicans
with loud roars of noes" sent his
proposed amendments down to de-
feat. A few Republicans supported
him in his attack, but a score of his
own party turned from their tradi-
tional stand against high tariff to
join the majority.
Admits Bill Hastily Drawn
Opposition speakers charged that
the measure would send the cost of
living higher. and branded it as class
legislation. Defenders OF the bill, on
the other hand, said it would save
the agricultural industry.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee. which reported the
measure. in opening debate declared
the measure was not scientific and
admitted it was hastily drawn, but as
serted that it was the best that could
be had at this time.
Representative Garner, Democrat, OF
Texas, speaking III support of the bill,
said he felt 1t was the only way in
which congress could extend the re.
lief SO urgently needed by the farm
ers.
Representative Madden, Republican,
of Illinois, however, assailed his col.
leagues for Opening the way to a re.
newal of prohibitive living costs
Pointing his finger at the majority
leaders desk, he said:
You men will make two lamb chops
cost $3.50 again and you will make
our suits of clothe5 cost 100 per cent
more"
Sees Plan to Split Party.
Representative Garrett of Tennes-
see said he saw ain this bill deter
mined effort to divide the Democratic
party, to make members of that party
turn their backs on every principle OF
taxation for which the party has stood
In it's whole history"
81 can not believe the Republican
leaders seriously hope to get this bill
passed." he added. 81 am convinced
it is a fine piece of political strategy"
In his attempts at amendment, Mr.
Rainey sought to show that the bill for
the most part carried higher rates
than the Payne-Aldrich tariff. He al
so warned of retalitory tariffs and EN-
bargoes by other nations.
In this connection, an amendment
by Representative Olney, Democrat, OF
Massachusetts, to admit wool in tran
sit from Australia and South America
at the time Of passage of the measure
at prevailing rates Of duty was voted
down.

DEATH TOTALN LONDONDERRY HAS
 NOW REACHED 8
(Continued from Page One. )

(COntinued from Page One.)
 Dublin, June 22 = An automobile carrying the assistant director general of the Royal Irish Constabulary and four constab1es was attacked with revolver fire and bombs while enroute from the Amiens Street Station to Dublin Castle today. Assistant Di- rector General Roberts was se- verely wounded in the head by bull let and the driver of the car was shot in both legs No arrests were made.
 The motor was met with a fusilade of bullets when passing under a rail- way bridge, but the badly wounded constable driver continued at the wheel while an uninjured companion returned the fire. After the shoot ing had gone on for some time the assailants threw two bombs.
 A railway strike now is regarded as inevitable. Most of the Irish com panies hitherto have turned blind eye to the refusals of the men to han dle munitions trains and thereby avoided strike, but Premier Lloyd Georges attitude makes it plain the government will press the companies to accept munitions traffic and as the men outside Ulster will not handle munitions and troop trains, conflict ifs looked for.
 A driver of a train which was stall ed at C1oughjordan because the rail- waymen refused to take it, further with armed policemen aboard, has been summoned to Dublin and the expectation is that this action will lead to trouble.
 Some leaders of railway workers here declare the premier's attitude is a 'fbluff" and that the, government is too afraid of English labor to give it effect. The railroad workers refusal to run munitions trains now extend to the point of declining to carry either soldiers or police and even rifles.
 Food difficulties attending the strike would affect England which gets enor- nous supplies of Irish producers while Ireland is self-supporting. An author ftative contradiction is given to the widely published statement that the government contemplates a general round up of Sim Feiners and exten- sive operation of martial law. Raids and arrests will only be relative to specific crimes.

RETURNS FROM
 WESTERN TRIP

Seward B. Price, executive secre- tary of the Chamber of Comm cree, returned last night from five weeks trip in the Middle West where he was one of a committee that has been working on the National Public School problems.
 Following a conference in Washing ton called by Philander c. Claxton, Chief of the National Board of Educa- tion. to discuss the school crisis, MT. Price in company with other members of an executive committee made a tour of the larger cities of the Middle West and made study of the exist ing conditions in the various cities. Of the 722 cities in the country that were invited to join in te study of the school problems, 30o have taken the first step in the campaign by sub hitting reports as they found them in their towns.
 In a comparison of this city and other cities of similar size in the West, MT. Price said that Bridgeport is woefully lacking in comm ercial civic organizations which should not be, as Bridgeport has advantages that should create the feeling of bigger, better and buster Bridgeport.
