SENATORS GIVE
SUGAR TARIFF
SLIGHT BOOST
Accept Smoot's Compromise of
Three-Tenths Cent on Pound
After Close Vote.
POTASH AND ARSENIC
PLACED ON FREE LIST
Plan For Government Bounty
For Domestic Potash Manu-
facturers Rejected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The senate
approved today an increase of three
tenths OF cent pound in the tariff
on sugar: rejected plan for govern
ment bounty of $9,50O00o for domestic
potash producers and rescinded it's for
mer action In voting an impost of two
cents pound on white arsenic. Potash
and white arsenic were placed on the
free list
The sugar rate of "a cents a, pound
was compromise between the rs
cents duty urged by Louisiana cane
and western beet sugar producers and
the cents proposed by the house and
approved by the finance committee
majority. It is three-tenths of a cent
above the tariff in the existing emer-
gency act and 1.5 cents above that in
the Underwood act.
Fletcher Against It.
The compromise was offered by Sem
ator Smoot of Utah, ranking republican
on the finance committee, and was ac-
cepted by the same vote that the senate
rejected the 2.5 cents duty, 81 to So.
Democrats who voted for the Smoot
amendment included Dial, Fletcher,
New Mexico, Hendricks and RansdelI.
while these 21 who voted against the
Overnnan, Glass Harris, Heflin, Sim
mons, Swanson, Trammell, and Under
wood. Fourteen republicans also voted
against the amendment
The vote against the bounty on pot
ash was 80 to 80. with twelve republi-
cans opposing and three democrats
supporting.
The democrats were Jones of New
Mexico, Hendricks and RansdeIl.
Close Vote On Arsenic
Before considering the bounty the
senate voted 66 to 1 to strike out the
provision by which tariff duty would
have been imposed on potash for five
years at the same rates that it was
proposed to pay the bounty.
The vote to place white arsenic on
the free list was 90 to 25, with ten re-
publicans opposing the duty and one
democrat, Kendrick, Wyoming, sup
porting 1t.
Because Of the operation Of the 20
percent tariff dffferential allowed to
Cuba, the 2.3 cents rate on sugar would
work out at 1.S4 cents pound on su-
gar from that country, which consti-
tutes practically all American imports.

Hope For Peace
In All The Coal
Fields Blasted

CLEVELAND. Aug. Interpretations Of
a settlement Of the soft coal strike on
national scale vanished tonight among
the union officials and operators here
for a Joint conference on peace plans with
the receipt of reports of the failure Of
indiana and Ininoise, operators association
to agree to join the conference The hope
however, was held out that settlement
effecting scattered mines in Illinois, IN
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania and pos
sibly West Virginia may result from the
conference, which reconvenes here TO-
morrow afternoon.
President John L. Lewis. Of the miners
announced that the joint conference
would reassemble to open negotiations.
The question, however, of whether the
miners would be willing to make wage
agreement with the operators now here
was undecided, and indications were that
a decision would be deferred until after
the afternoon meeting tomorrow with
the operators, most of whom own mines
in Ohio.

lie and the company; the duty to our
striking employees we have more than full
filled, and I now call upon you whatever
your occupation to assist the manage
ment in performing its duty also the pub
lie and to the company. This obligation
calls for unimpaired transportation SER
