By Associated Press

Washington, July 2o.-The House today completed it's last full day of consideration of the Fordney tariff bill, and at p. m.. tomorrow, will begin voting on amendments and the bill itself with the understanding that final action will be taken be- fore adjournment.
 The House disposed of the leather schedule today after a stormy ses- sion by refusing to put an import tax on boots and shoes, although it previously had fixed a tariff on hides, A ways and means committee amendment proposing duty or 10 per cent on leather products was voted down, 99 to 62. This was taken as an indication that the House might reverse itself on the 15 per cent duty on hides, which will come up for separate vote tomorrow
 Hides and leather products. in- cluding shoes, were placed on the free list originally by the ways and means committee. but the republican caucus instructed the committee to offer an amendment giving hides protection. A tax of Is per cent on all kinds of hides resulted. Many members who voted for tax on hides. opposed today the added tax on the manufactured articles. The bulk of the republican members of the committee stood out, however, for the compensatory duty
 Uproar Precipitated
 Representative kreider, republican, Pennsylvania. a shoe manufacturer, precipitated an uproar during the de- bate by urging the duty on shoes and leather goods. half of the House breaking in with demands for vote. Representative Rayburn, demo- crat, Texas, in reply, declared that shoe manufacturers in the business for the last few years ought to be satisfied with fortunes already made. In the discussion that followed, a telegram from Representative hit- chin, the democratic leader at hls home in North Carolina, was read by Representative Garrett of Ten nessee, the acting leader. The fight being made against the Fordney Dill MT Kitchen said, was "nerving demo- crats everywhere for an enthusiastic and united fight in 1922 and lsp4' and giving them fresh hope or com ing victory
