against it. That wound up what. all In
all. was a brief day on the tariff.
The gloves in question are Of the
common sort that ordinarily retail at
from fifty cents to $1.00. of various
were provided for In the glove paragraph
In addition to the industry at Glovers-
vile, there are glove factories in various
parts Of the country.
The rate Of $3.50 a dozen pairs as
provided for in this bill, for the better
grade of gloves" Senator Wadsworth
said. represents the difference in the
cost of manufacturing in the United
States and Germany. We are only ask
ing that the rate be fixed SO that Ameri-
can glove makers can continue in busi-
ness and that means in the end safe
guard against high prices from German
makers. once they are able to control
the market"
Lodge Is Convinced.
Senator Calder, arguing along similar
lines. declared that the American glove
manufactures, because of heavy i'm
portations, are not in operation. They
will be driven to the WALL he added. un-
less protected by high rates.
Senator Pomerene <Dem.. Ohio), and
other Senators. including Senator Len
root author Of the amendment, offered
figures to show that the glove makers
need no such protection. The debate ran
on for several hours and finally Senator
Lodge said:
II hesitate to vote against the Finance
Committee, but cannot but believe that
the position taken by Mr.. Lenroot limit
ing the ad valorem rate to 75 per cent. is
all the protection that can be given to
the glove makers"
Senator McCumber. in charge of the
bill. defended It as representing the
difference Of the cost Of manufacture at
home and abroad. Senator Smoot.4 in
charge of the schedule, also attempted
to stem the tide against the item. but
failed.
Senator Robinson (Dem, Ark.), again
attacked the delays In the consideration
Of the tariff when the Senate was sever
al hours in getting down to business.
The holdup to-day was on the Demo-
cratic side. Senator Ramsdell (Fla.)
who has been voting with the committee,
made a long speech on ship subsidy,
which gave color to the declaration than
the Republicans are not driving tho
tariff bill to a vote.
Charges Election Delay.
"Now I realize" Senator Robinson
said. that all these subjects are i'm
portant, and that in time they will have
to be discussed. but discussions Of sub
Jects which are not before the Senate
do not accomplish any good. II Senators
are attending to their duties, they are
contemplating the proposition that is
pending before the Senate.
III this great tariff measure is a
matter of such Importance that 1t must
be kept before the Senate in q way to
the exclusion of every other measure, let
US confine our debate to the considera-
tion Of the tariff bill. except, OF course
for the consideration of emergency
measures, and pass or defeat the tariff
bill. There Is a growing element on
the other side of the chamber that does
| not want to vote upon the bill before the
fall elections. l am not violating any
confidence or revealing any secret when
1 make that declaration. The bill is
going to be disposed Of. 1t is not goins
to be sidetracked on the theory that the
Democrats have filibustered against 1,
to an extent that has prevented the
Senate from disposing of 1t. We ought
to vote finally on the tariff bill inside
Isof three weeks
~ agree with tho Senator" said
| Senator Smoot. "As soon as the WOO
schedule has been disposed of I shall
be ready to place a limitation on de-
bate and I shall be ready to agree to Q
time to vote finally" responded Senator
Robinson. ample opportunity will bt
afforded TO discuss the shipping bill
when that bill is before the Senate
Full opportunity will be had to discus,
the Muscle Shoals proposition. when Il
Is pertinent to do so. Recognition o
the Obregon Government. a purely ex.
ecutive function, which absorbed the at
tention of the Senate yesterday, o.
course. cannot properly be brought be
fore the Senate. Everything except tn,
pending proposition has been before the
| Senate this morning"
