D. S. SENATE PUTS ITS
0. K. ON the TARIFF
Emergency Measure Carrying
Anti.Dumping Bill Is
Passed IS 10 Is

Washington, May 1.-THE Sen
ate late today passed the Emergency
Tariff and Anti-Dumping Bill, re-
tanning all amendments recommend
ed by the Finance Committee, but
rejecting those individually pro-
posed. The vote was SO to 2S.
Seven Democrats, Senators Edwin
S. Broussard, louisiana; A. A.
Jones, New Mexico; John S. Ken
drick, Wyoming; Henry L. Myers.
Montana; Key Pittman, Nevada;
Joseph E. Ransdell, Louisiana, and
Morris Sheppard, Texas, voted with
the Republicans in passing the bill.
Another Democrat, Henry F. Ash
urst, Arizona, who was absent, was
announced as a supporter. Only one
Republican, Senator George H.
Moses, New Hampshire, voted
against the bill.
Differs From Earlier Measure
AS passed by the Senate the
measure differs radically from the
form in which it was passed by the
House early in the extra session,
and now goes to conference. Only
the tariff features of the bill were
kept intact, the anti-dumping and
currency revaluation sections being
entirely rewritten and the provision
added for continuation of the war;
time restrictions on imports of dye
stuffs.
Action by the Senate came at the
end of five hours of driving attack
by Democratic leaders. The latter.
however, were not alone, in their
attempts to amend the measure, for
several Republicans made efforts to
broaden it's scope only to see their
amendments meet the same fate as
those offered from the minority side
of the chamber. All were swept
aside by practically the same vote.
Dye Monopoly Feared
| Late in the day Democrats con-
centrated on the committee addi-
ton to the bill providing for con-
tinued Federal control of dye i'm
portations. Senators charged fire.
quently that the amendment, which
was submitted to the committee by
Senator P. c. Knox, Republican
Pennsylvania, would create a mono
polistic control of the dye industry
and turn over the consumers 70
1.-The wishes and will of one man.
A rollcall left it as part of the bill
by the vote of 81 to 25.
Senator William H. King, Demo
crat, Utah, was not content, howev-
err, and made another effort to strike
out the dye provision just prior to
the vote on passage. That failed
also.
The Utah Senator, after passage
of the measure, announced he would
offer a resolution in the Senate soon
to investigate the monopoly which
he said existed and had now been
permanently intrenched by the Sen
ate's action.

}ABOR SITUATION IS NOW
DECIDEDLY EASIER
Greater Supply and Less De.
mand in Comparison With
Past Three Years

than 1t has been in the past three
years. This fact is shown by figures
that follow, being averages of esti-'
mates of normal supply and demand
made by reporters to the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, April 1,
each year.
Reports from Nearly Every State
Comments made by agricultural
statisticians for the various States
on the labor situation are as fol-
lows:
Alabama: Supply more plentiful
and less expensive.
Arizona: There is an abundance
of farm labor at greatly reduced
wages.
Arkansas: Supply seems to ex-
coed the demand over the entire
State. In some localities white
farm labor is still bringing $1.50
per day. At many points colOred
labor can be had at from Is cents
to 81 per day.
California: Supply appears to be
sufficient; wages reduced.
Delaware: Supply more plentiful
and wages little reduced compar-
ed with last year.
Florida: Supply plentiful and
wages greatly reduced.
Georgia: Supply abundant, but
no money with which to hire it..
Colored labor is leaving, as en-
ployment can not be found.
Idaho:: There is mo shortage
and wages are going to be reasona-
BILE.
Illinois: Supply abundant, but
still high priced, and farmers are
getting along with as little hired
help as possible.
Mississippi Supply generally
plentiful and more efficient than for
several years.
Farmers Will Do Their Own Work
Montana: Demand very light,
with surplus supply. Farmers finan-
cially unable to hire, and will do
their own work as far as possible,
planting accordingly. Wages of
farm labor are s45 to $50 per
month, compared with SIS to $S5
last year. Sheep herders wages are
$50, compared to $S5 to SOS last
season.
Nebraska: Supply plentiful, at
pre-war wages or slightly above, or
rs to so per cent less than last year.
New England: Farm labor more
plentiful; wages reduced about 80
per cent from last year.
New Mexico: Supply is plentiful,
but higher wages are demanded
than the farmers can afford to pay.
North Dakota: Supply exceeds
demand; wages noticeable reduced
from year ago.
Ohio; Supply generally equal to
demand, though some complaint is
still heard of wages asked.
Oregon: Supply appears to be
plentiful, with wages greatly reduc-
ed as compared with last year. Need
for hired farm labor reported much
below normal.
South Carolina: Supply normal.
South Dakota: Supply more
plentiful than a year ago. Farmers
not employing as much labor as
usual.
Tennessee: Supply plentiful in
most localities. but wages remain
higher than the farmers feel able to
pay.
Texas: Labor sufficient for all
requirements of cotton crop.
Virginia: Supply ample for de-
mand, which appears to be less than
usual.
Washington: Farm bureaus in
many counties are arranging the
wage scale for the coming season.

ment now in progress all over
the country is completed, and
the wheels of industry begin to
turn in a normal way, the pres
ent stocks of oil will diminish
very rapidly, and production
will not be adequate to supply
the demand. This cannot help
but result in one thing. and that
is there will surely be a rapid
upward tendency in the prices
of crude. Under normal condi-.
tions the United States has not
been producing enough oil to
supply domestic needs, to say
nothing of an ever increasing
foreign demand, and we have
been forced to look elsewhere,
particularly to Mexico, for re-
lief, but recent reports from the
latter country regarding the oil
situation there state that the
supply is rapidly being depleted
by the great wells of that sec
ton either going dry or else are
being ruined by salt water. The
Statement: comes from reliable
authority that in the forty square
mile producing area of Mexico.
sixty-three, or two-thirds, of the
one hundred and four wells have
ceased to produce, and salt wat
er is rapidly filling those now in
operation. 1t is also stated that
Il
not a new oil structure has been
discovered in Mexico since 1916.
and the proven territory is in
fact going into salt water. An
other important factor in the
Mexican situation is that British
owned companies, the largest
producers and sellers, control
some of the best developed terri
tory, and they are responding to
the Mexican political demands
TO the detriment of Americans.
Such conditions can not. fail to
be helpful to the oil business in
the United States. and better
prices will surely prevail in this
country, and at no distant date.
