CEREMONIES HALT
TARIFF STRUGGLE
Senate in Recess for Lincoln
Memorial EVent-G. O.P.
to Discuss CIoture.

lull in the struggle over the tar
iff bill in the Senate occurred today.
when the Senate recessed after a few
minutes meeting until tomorrow, in
order to take part in the Lincoln Me-
mortal dedication exercises this after
noon. The republican conference will
meet tomorrow morning to discuss
further the question of the proposed
cloture rule to bring the tariff debate
to comparatively early close.
The republican agricultural tariff
bloc succeeded twice yesterday in up
setting the proposals of the finance
committee. The committee also re-
ceded from its original proposal to
impose a duty of 25 per cent ad val
orem on bricks used in construction
of buildings.
Brick Duty Withheld.
In lieu of the duty it had proposed
on building brick, the committee ma
jority submitted a proviso that if
any country proposed tariff on this
commodity imported from the United
States an equal duty would be inn
posed upon imported brick from such
countries. At the request of demo-
cratic opponents of the original COM
mittee proposal, consideration of the
substitute went over.
The hight on the brick paragraph in
the form recommended by the COM
mittee opened last week, when a me-
mortal from Samuel Untermyer. coun-
sci for the Lockwood investigating
committee in New York, was present
ed to the Senate. urging removal Of
tariff duties on building materials in
an effort to break an alleged combina-
ton of dealers in such materials. The
committee STAYED off a vote at that
time and later reconsidered it's action
as to the duty on brick.
Cyanide Overturns Majority.
The committee majority was over
turned by the Senate on cyanide,
which was restored to the free list,
and on magnesite. on which duties
were increased.
In it's fight to advance the rates on
magnesite from s6.25 per ton to $40
per ton-the House rate-the tariff
bloc had the support not only of some
eastern republicans. but also of four
democrats - Broussard. louisiana
Ashurst. Arizona; Jones, New Mexico,
and Pittman, Nevada. The vote was
% to %.
In the vote to restore cyanide to
the free list the bloc drew the solid
democratic strength and also consid-
cradle republican support outside of
it's own ranks. The vote was 46 to IA.
