BRITISH URGE GUT
 IN TARIFF RATE ON
 HIGH SPEED STEEL
Rate Increases on Flour and Mill Feeds Are Sought By Domestic Milling
 Interests
By Associated Pres.

Washington, August 30.-Represen. tatives of industries of two countries presented arguments before the Sem ate finance committee today striking at rates in tns Fordney tar- if bill. From England came dele. gation to urge revision downward oi rates on high speed steel. higher rates on flour and mill feeds were sought by domestic milling interests and representatives of the fishing in- dustry appeared both to defend and denounce import taxes on their products.
 Claims of the flour millers, sub mitted by L. E. Noses of Kansas City. Mo, president of the Southwestern Millers League and A. l.. Goetzn,ann, of Minneapolis, president of the Mill lers' National federation were for rates which would be compensatory for the 25 cents a bushel duty on wheat. Unless the flour duty was made practically double the House rate they argued, the duty on wheat would bring no good effect. Mir. Moses asserted that the milling in QuSlFy WAS uO pTOlitS duu that it's position in the business world protective duty.
 Consumer VIII Pay.
 "If you can give us rates which will keep us running" he said Eve can, ard will furnish the people O. the United States flour at the cheap est price of any people on earth. If you force us to run only part of the time, your flour prices will be higher and the consumer will pay and the producers market will be disturbed and lower and he will lose. I won't predict what will happen to the mills themselves if we have to close our plants part Of the times.
 On the question of duties on fish. a difference of opinion was voiced by the home producers and the importers although some New England fishing interests favored a low import tax. The Alaskan industry protested against any changes from the House rates. the claim being made by Dan Sutherland. Alaskan delegate in the House. that the bill taxed everything the fishermen used in their business but gave them only moderate protec- ton on the result of their labors.
 Atlantic coast fishing interests were represented by George F. Wiley of Boston who claimed that no good reason existed for duties as high as those fixed and argued that the tax would serve to increase the cost of living Ito the poor folks" This phase of the argument was supple mented by Mrs. Jennie D. Heath of New York. president of the National Housewives league. She said also that hign duties probably would re-
 suit in decreased consumption of fish.
