Washington, May 22.-The sem
ate returned today to Its struggle
with the tariff bill, resuming night
sessions, but making comparative
ly little progress. Most of the time
was given 10 consideration of
minor amendments, the dye fight
being postponed again. this. time
until Wednesday, because OF the
illness of Senator King Of Utah,
who is to lead the democratic fight
on both the license-embargo and
the tariff duty provisions.
The chief controversy today CEN
tered on the committee amendmer {
to make the duty on red or brown
quarry tiles five cents q square
which was approved after the re-
lection, "a to So, of an amendment
by Senator Sheppard, democrat Of
Texas, to fix the rate at 20 per cent
ad valorem. In opposing the COM
mittee rate Senator Hitchcock,
democrat OF Nebraska, declared
the American people were tired
of having their pockets picked
and wanted to see further price
reductions. He argued that in
stead of reductions there would be
increase if the pending bill were
passed.
Prohibtive Tariff.
Remarking that this tiling en-
tered into the construction of
homes, Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, the democratic leader. said
the issue was fairly joined on this
item. Senator Frelinghuysen pro-
posing a tax that would equalize
the difference between the cost of
production in this country plus the
profit and the cost
of laying down the foreign goods
in this country without taking into
account the importers profit. That
would mean a prohibitive tariff, he
argued. @
A move to put crude petroleum
and fuel oil on the dutiable list was
made today by Senator Harreld.
Oklahoma, who offered
an amendment 10 make the rates
35 cents and % cents barrel re-
spectively. His amendment went
over and cannot be brought up for
some weeks.
Petroleum was placed on the du-
table list by the house ways and
means committee but the house
restored it to the free list and the
finance committee recon-
mended that it stay there. Pro-
ducers in this country urged the
to protect the domestic
