Washington, Dec. q Emergency
tariff legislation at the present ses
sion of congress is apparently
doomed to fail unless the Republican
leaders in the house and senate can
discover a way out of the tangle into
which their efforts to pass an emer-
gency tariff bill as relief measure
for the farmers of the nation has led
them.
The pending measure will come up
for debate Wednesday and will be
assailed vigorously by those produc,
crs and manufacturers whom 1t does
not protect. The bill is facing oppo-
sition both from Republicans and
Democrats in the house and senate
and it is also regarded as certain
taat it will encounter the executive
vote If il Is passed
The house ways and means com
mittee yesterday voted out the
Fordney emergency tariff bill de-
signed to protect the farmers and
Instructed Chairman. Fordney to
make all efforts possible to obtain
action on It before the Christmas
recess.
The committee made two changes,
lemons were added to the list and
an import duty of ~ cents per
pound established. The rate ION pea
nut oil was increased from 20 to 2G
cents a gallon.
Five members of the committee
voted against the Fordney bill.
Two representatives who voted
against the measure, said their op-
position was based on the contention
that manufactured products were not
included and that therefore tne meas
ure meant to the constituents only
an increase in the cost OF living
While the house committee was
acting, the senate committee decided
to delay enactment of emergency
tariff legislation.
I'VE will insist upon full and regu-
lar consideration of the bill said
Senator Simons of North Carolina,
ranking democrat on the senate fl
nance committee. 1--WE do not regard
the bill, taking it as whole, as an
emergency bill, but a regular tariff
measure"
Representatives in the house from
the agricultural districts pledged
their support today to the Fordney
emergency tariff bill but instructed
committee to urge that frozen and
refrigerated beef, lemons and can
ners salmon be included in the list
of imports in which high tariffs
would be imposed.
