HOUSE STARTS TODAY
ON AMENDMENTS TO
TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, July II The House
concluded general debate on the
Fordney tariff bill late tonight after
the longest session of the six days
since unlimited discussion began. 1t
is ready to start tomorrow on a sew
en- day stretch of consideration OF
amendments and of debate under fivo
minute limitation.
Schedules open to amendments
from the floor, will be taken up, ac-
cording to announcement of Chair
man Fordney of the Ways and
Means committee, in the following
order:
Hides. dycstuffs and dye, control
oil, cotton and asphalt. The commit
tee WHICH, by special rule. is permit
ted TO offer amendments to any par
agraph. has many changes it will
recommend. mostly, however, it Is
understood. in the nature of correc-
ton of errors.
Oil was to the fore in the days
discussion, although Rep. Cochran,
Democrat, New York, made a two
and one half hour attack on the bill,
describing it as "a policy of plumber"
The oil duty inserted in the last
moments of committee deliberation,
had both friend and foe on the floor
during the day, the discussion being
led by Representatives Chandler OF
Oklahoma, in its defense, and Tread
way of Massachusetts in opposition.
Both are Republican members of the
committee which drafted the bill.
Mr.. Chandler charged that attempts
to compel withdrawal of hte duty of
30 cents barrel on crude and rs cents
a barrel on fuel oil were traceable di-
rectly ito propagandists for the
Standard Oil Company" He declar-
ed also that the Standard was re
sponsible for the nation wide i'm
preston that there is a shortabe OF
oil and that American oil deposits
must be preserved"
A tariff, he contended, was necessa-
nv to maintain American supremacy
in oil.
Mr.. Treadway's opposition was
based on the discrimination which he
said would result of an oil duty. He
declared it would cost Massachusetts
industries $5,000,000 a year in extra
manufacturing expenses while at the
same time there would be an addi-
tiOnal demand for coal throughout
New England. He read letter from
Governor Cox of his state, urging de-
feat of the proposition and saying
that New England business men
were unanimous in opposition to it."
