PENROSE FAVORS
 FORDNEY TARIFF
Opponents, However, Forecast Rough Sledding Ahead - Dairymen and Stock Raisers Before Senate Committee.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Supporters of the Fordney emergency tariff were given encouragement today by the announcement of Chairman Penrose of the Senate finance committee that he would use his influence to obtain passage of the bill. The Pennsyl- vania senator, in a formal statement issued after his committee opened hearings on the measure, assured his Republican colleagues that he would join them in pushing the legis- lation through at this session, but declared for modification of the rates carried by the bill as it passed the House.
 Senate opponents of the Fordney bill, however, were not disheartened by the Penrose announcement. They were inclined to accept the public definition of his attitude as a politi- cal move, while Democratic senators numbered among the opponents as- serted the statement was issued as a reply to Republican senators on the committee who had demanded that Mir. Penrose say, in effect, whether he would stand with or against them.
 Democratic opponents of the bill pointed out that they, with the aid of Senator Penrose, had succeeded in getting open hearings and expressed confidence that the story of "the oth- CT side" would carry sufficient weight to make passage difficult if possible at all. They added that they hoped to annex many amendments to the present bill that the House would re- ject it in conference, thereby reject ing any tariff legislation until the extra session.
 While the Senate committee was holding it's initial hearings and while senators were attempting to assess

the effect of Senator Penrose's state ment, the House ways and means committee heard more than 20 wit nesses on revision of the present Un- derwood tariff. The House commit tee took up schedule A and the wit nesses discussed from technical standpoints questions of higher i'm port duties on chemicals, paints and oils, which are included under the first division of the Underwood law.
 Hearings before the House com- mittee will continue indefinitely, but the Senate plans to complete it's work on hte emergency tariff early next week.
 Conditions in the agricultural in dustry, described as deplorable, and for which a remedy was declared to exist in the Fordney bill, were DOT trayed in testimony before the Sen ate committee by F. J. Hagenbarth, president of the National Wool Crow ers' Association and w. F. Schilling, St. Paul, presi1ec+ of the Twin City Milk Producers Association. The last witness before the committee, MT. Schilling, asked that duty on butter and cheese be included in the bill. He proposed that the committee fix a rate between six and 10 cents pound on butter and between seven cents and 15 cents pound on cheese
