TARIFF REPORT
Of MINORITY IS
ATTACK ON BILL
Republican Leaders
Get Busy on Plans
to Speed Up Action.

Washington, May 6.-Deyelopments
Saturday in senate consideration of
the pending tariff bill included the
filing of the minority report attacking
the measure, approval of the finance
committee amendments increasing the
duties on Tactic acid and an informal
discussion among republican leaders of
measures designed to speed up senate
action.
Night sessions, beginning next Tues
day, with a view to forcing curtail-
ment of debate were among subjects
discussed by the leaders. but no de-
cision was reached. The holding of a
party conference to map out q pro-
gram also was considered, together
with a suggestion that senate rules be
amended so as to prevent unlimited
debate. The latter received little
support.
Three Roll Calls On LactIo Acid
Three roll calls were demanded by
the democrats on the Tactic acid para
graph, but the committee amendments
under which the rates on this acid
would be from two cents to nine cents
pound, in place of the house duties
Of from one and one-half to five
cents, were accepted by substantial
majorities on almost strictly party
votes.
The majority report on the bill was
filed by Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, ranking democrat on the
finance committee, who asserted that
if properly entitled, the tariff would
be termed IAN act to mortgage the
country and resources to the protected
and mOnopolized industries"
Bill For High Profits Is Charge
Declaring that the atmosphere of
Is months with the "frenzied clamor
of the protected industries for pro-
hibitive rates." the report said these
interests believed that embargoes and
prohibitions would do for them now
what embargoes and prohibitions did
for them during the war.
"The rates imposed in this BILL" the
report continued, "are rates that in
their operation. while not enhancingI
the price of labor or operating in any
way in the interest of labor. will ir-
tend to the maintenance of
present high profits and prices of
which the people now complain, and
furnish an opportunity to further in
crease these prices while the power to
further increase these rates vested in
the president, will operate as an in
vitation to invoke the exercise of these
extra legislative powers when the
prescribed rates are not sufficient to
safeguard the protected producers
against the risk of foreign competition
in case they may wish to raise their
prices above the level of the protec-
lion against such competition afforded
BY the rates written in the bill"
