WASHINGTON, July 30.-whether the
administration tariff bill viii be enacted
before the November elections again has
become the subject of private discussion
at the capitol. There is a more or less
general belief now in the senate that
the measure cannot be brought to a final
vote in that body before September Is, and
there are those who believe the ironing
out of differences between the senate and
house in conference will be such a slow
and tedious progress that it cannot be
contemplated before congress goes home
for the fall campaign.
May Vote Separately.
Some Democratic leaders express the
belief that the house, it's membership
having got in direct touch with the peo-
pie during it's present recess will baIk
at some of what the minority have in
sisted are high duties in the bin. These
leaders think that when the measure
goes to conference the house will reserve
the right of separate vote ON nunaber
of questions. thus slowing up a final
agreement. Republican leaders, however,
do not place much if any faith in the
belief of their Democratic colleagues on
this point.
Press Resolution.
The move from the Democratic side
yesterday for an investigation Of charges
that some senators are financially inter
ested in the wool and other duties voted
into the bill may operate to delay senate
action. The Democrats say they will
press their resolution for an inquiry and
further heated discussion of the matter
on the floor apears to be in prospect.
Scientific" Tariff.
AS the fight over rates goes forward
in the senate, sentiment In favor of
"scientific'' tariff to be built around re-
concentrations of the tariff commission
apparently continues to increase. Sena-
tors Keyes, Republican, New Hampshire,
and Willie, Republican, Ohio, announced
their support of this plan today in state
ments issued through the American nom
partisan scientific tariff league.
Intend to Fight.
Announcing that ten interna tional labor
unions and over 300 individual labor Or
ganizations had petitioned congress toI
speed enactment of the pending tariff
measures, Senator Mclean, of Connecti-
cutt, Republican member of the finance
committee, said today in statement that
the Republican majority in the senate in
tended to flight oposition no matter how
long it takes because we are determined
to pass the Fordney McCumber bin be-
fore congress adjourns."
Demand Tariff.
''The United States cannot be pros |
porous unless the producers have work." |
said Senator Mclean, land the petitions
which have been received from labor |
shows that the working men and women |
of the country are aroused to the danger |
and demand a protective tariff. II con- |
gress legislates to make it possible for |
the people of this country who want work !
to find profitable employment against |
any kind of foreign competition, every !
consumer will benefit by a wide distri- !
button of prosperity"
