WASHINGTON, April 16.-There
are squalls ahead in congress, 1t be-
come evident today, before the farm
ers get the emergency tariff bill
or the people find out hor och
or how 1ittle-Uncle Sam j., -. -, to
tax them.

passed by the senate, it is conceded.
But it will not slide through with
the speed some of the supporters
had predicted. A week may be re-
quired to get it through it's final
stages, according to the present out
look.
Differences have developed re-
garding the sales tax, and no sched-
ule has been decided regarding
hearings by the senate finance COM
mlttee. Senator Penrose charged
the Democrats with delaying COM
mlttee organization in the senate
and declared he may proceed to
hearings with the old committee
membership. On the house side
democrats charged Republicans with
delaying taxation adjustment by
shunting that subject aside for the
emergency tariff

Tariff Bill Passed
Republican leaders. supported by
all except eight of their party and
by fifteen Democrats, pushed the
Young emergency tariff and anti
dumping through the house late
Thursday. The vote was 269 to 112

the end of stormy session during
which a handful of Democrats, aided
by few Republicans, had harassed
the leaders of the Republican side
| persistently for more than four
hours. Charges that the Republicans

Representative Garrett, of Tennessee
acting Democratic leader, but by
Representative Newton, Minnesota

The battle was later continued
when Representative Mondell, wy
oming, Republican floor leader, an
nounced plan for the house to meet
tomorrow to receive a report from
the immigration committee. This
was objected to by Mr.. Garrett, who
said the Republican members Of the
immigration committee had acted

Mondell agreed to wait and the house
adjourned until Monday.

tariff debate which revealed a wild,
spite in the Texas delegation Sew

ported the tariff program. The dis
cussion was particularly pointed
when Representative Connolly, Dem

Representative Hudspeth, for desert
ing his party"
