SENATE REPUBS
SOLID ON HIGH
DUTY ON MEATS
Overwhelming Majorities on
Cattle and Meats.
WILL BENEFIT PACKERS
Determined Bloc Deaf to Pro-
tests of Democrats.
az rhe AssoeIated Pre.sl

| WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Rates or
cattle and meats, written into the tar
if bill with thesapprovaI of the repub-
lican agricultural tariff bloc and
ranging generally higher than those
in the House measure, We're approved
today by the Senate by overwhelming
majorities.
Not only did the republicans vote
solidly for the first time since the bin
was called up nine weeks ago, but
there was the first real split in the
democratic ranks.
Five Roll Calls
Five roll calls were demanded dur
ing the day and all showed about the
same results The first was on the
rates of IL cents a pound on live
cattle weighing less than 1,O5O pounds
and 2 cents a pound on such cattle
weighing more than that amount, and
the result was as to Is.
Senators LaFollette of Wisconsin,
and Norris, Nebraska, republicans,
who consistently had opposed duties
in the bill, voted with the solid repub-
Ecan majority, while democrats who
supported the committee amendment
were, Ashurst, Arizona, Jones, New
Mexico, Kendrick. wyoming. Pittman,
Nevada and Sheppard, Texas.
Raise House Rates
The second roll call was on the COM
mittee amendment to increase to 8 1-2
cents the two cent rate proposed by
the House on fresh beef and veal. The
vote was As to Ii with sixdemocrats
with the solid republican majority.
Senator Broussayd, democrat, Louis
lana, who had voted for the committee
rates right along, and who announced
that he would vote for the bill on its
final passage, was the sixth democrat
on this roll call.
So A Head on Sheep
Without record votes. the senate ap-
proved rates of 81 a head on sheep and
goats and then vote 43 to 16, to in
crease to 2 cents d pound the house
rate on bacon, hams, shoulders and
other pork, prepared or preserved.
Next it approved, 81 to Is, rate of
) cents pound on lard compounds
and lard substitutes.
Democrats Fight
A determined fight against most Of
the committee rates was conducted by |
a. small group of democrats, including |
Senators Simmons Of North Carolina, |
the minority leader in the tariff con- |
troversy; Walsh of Massachusetts; |
Stanley of Kentucky; King of Utah |
and Pomerene of Ohio.
Some Of the democratic opponents
declared the rates proposed would be
IN the interest of the big five" meat
packers and would do the farmers
little good.

We're heavy exchanges, although at inter-
walls the firing ceased. Small artillery
trench mortars and machine guns were
employed by the attacking forces, but the
irregulars confined themselves largely to
machine gun and rifle fire.
No attempt was made to carry Four
Courts by assault, but one of the walls
of the building was preached at various
places.
Casualties Few.
The casualties are few in proportion to
the nature of the fighting, and they con-
sist for the most part of civilians caught
in the line of fire.
So far as is known tonight seven were
killed and a score more or less seriously
wounded. This does not include any
casualties that may have been suffered
by the irregulars, these being impossible
to ascertain.
Less than one thousand Free State
troops are engaged in the present opera
tions, and it is known that the irregulars
number several hundred.
Take New Positions.
The insurgents were obliged to evacu-
ate several buildings during the progress
of the battle but Immediately took up
new positions which had evidently been
pre- pared in. advance
The Free State troops did not inter
fere with activities at republican head
quarters in Suffolk street, where 4Gamon

Mr.. DeValera declined to make any state
ment on the present war-like situation.
