MOVEON TO BALK
NEW TARIFF BILL
East Will Try to Extend Law
Protecting Farm Products to
Include Factories.
OBJECT Is A DEADLOCK
Farming Interests Loom as
Dangerous Separate Force in
Congress, However.
Speciol Despatch to THE NEw NorK HERALD.
New York Herald bureau.

New York Herald bureau.
Washington, u. g., Dec. 10.
Efforts will be made when the emer-
gency tariff bill on farm products is
considered in the House on "Wednesday
TO extend it's protective wing" TO many
products of particular concern to the
manufacturing sections of the East.
Members of Congress from the At
lantic coast States made this plain to-
day.
rnese members fali 20 see why Con
gress should rush 10 the aid OF the
agricultural interests and pay no at
tention to other sections of the coun-
try where many are out Of work and
factories are closed.
Many OF the Eastern members believe
that Congress should keep hands off the
the present situation ard allow the after
war readjustment 10 be made as quickly
as possible in order that the country
may resume bNsiness on a normal basis.
This it is admitted. is one OF the rea-
sons FOR the plan TO tack on numerous
amendments to the farmer products tar
iff bill. The belief Is that II ii is bur-
dened with increased tariffs on many
other products II will reach legislative
jam which will prevent it's final enact
ment
Among the amendments being drawn
are proposals for rluch higher duties on
various grades OF cloth, clothing. various
metals. including copper and manganese !;
lumber. sugar. glassware. optical goods.
pearl buttons. oils and paints and other
manufactured products that Il Is believed
Europe soon will endeayor TO export An
attempt also will lie made TO include pro
posals for protection os the American dye
industry by legislation that will prevent
an influx OF German dyes. either through
a licensing system or an embargo.
1t is apparent that what IN some re-
spects seems like a new party h1s been
formed in Congress. II is tho farmer
party. and so far this session has been
so powerful that it easily brrfhes aside
all opposition. II Is o bipartisan ooali-
ton OF the Western and Sonthern mom-
bers Heretofore the representative
from the agricultural seftlons usually
have been split on party lines. but ap-
parent;y many old diffei,nccs have beer
forgotten.
1t is probable. however, that the
Southern Democrats. although voting
with Western Republicans to revive the
War Finance Corporation. will balk at
lining UP with th9m for high protective
tariffs, even on 9arm pro ducts. ~ thc

that this could hardly have been possible.
