HOUSE TOPROBE
SHIP BOARD
POWERS
Special Inquiry Into Relations
With Fleet Corporation to
Begin Soon

A special inquiry will be made
next week by the House committee
investigating the Shipping Board in
to the recent distribution of powers
between the Shipping Board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
President Coolidge recommended
the Emergency Fleet Corporation be
given wider powers by the board in
operation Of the United States ship.
ping vessels. The question had been
under consideration by the board for
one year. Within a month after
the President made his suggestion
to Congress the board took affirma.
tive action.
There are two views in the House
committee on the boards decision:
Some hold the action Of the board
beneficial to operation Of the ships
although it is of a temporary char
acter and likely to lead to further
discussions. These contend that
definite legislation making perma.
nent the action of the board is
necessary to bring about best re-
suits.
Others on the House committee
hold the belief the BOARD was not
authorized by law to turn over to
the Fleet Corporation the powers
granted and that Congress alone had
this authority. They quote pro-
visions of the existing law defining
the duties and powers of the Ship
ping Board and of the. Emergency
Fleet Corporation, and assert that
until these are changed by the Con-
gress the board is without AUTHORITY
to delegate its powers or to sur.
render them.
The, House committee will close
it's investigation early in January and
make it's report with recommends.
tons to the House. Among it's RECON-
mendati0ns, it Is expected, will lie one

HIGHER TARIFF
SOUGHT ON
COTTON
Manufacturers Plan Fight in
Congress-Democr
Oppose Increase
BY A. O. HAYWOOD,
international News Service.

In addition to all the other odds
and ends of legislation which it
must clean up before March 1, the
Sixty-eighth Congress is likely to
have a tariff fight on it's hands.
1t was learned today that che
cotton mill industry of New England
and North Carolina, immediately ;h-
| ter the Christmas recess will come
before Congress with a pr uposAl for
a higher duty on foreign products
of a competitive nature. The claim
! is to be that an increase in the
tariff duties is necessary to reopen
| and to keep going the cotton mills
in the United States. At the same
| time, an appeal will also be made
by the cotton industry to President
| Coolidge for relief under the flexible
provisions of the Fordney -McC umber
tariff act.
Democrats Oppose.
Democratic leaders in Congress an
| nounced today they would fight any
attempt at increase of the tariff
| rates on cotton goods. If such
should be attempted, they announce
they will propose legislation for the
reduction of tariffs on those and
many other lines of protected manu-
| facturers.
The Democrats hold that the
tariff protection carried in the pres
I ent law is resulting in retailatory
1 tariffs by foreign countries with the
result of loss to American exports
and shipping. They point to the re-
cent retaliatory duties on automo-
biles levied by France.
Morgan Butler, president Of the
National Association Of Cotton Man
ufacturerS, declared the cotton man.
ufacturers should avail themselves
of the flexible provisions of the
tariff law to secure increased pro-
lection because of the great in
crease in cotton manufacture i'm
ports.
Oldfield to Lead Fight.
Congressman William A. Oldfield.
DEM Arkansas, leading member
of the House Ways and Means COM
mittee, today asserted the House
Democrats would resist every effort
on the part Of the cotton manu-.
facturers to increase the (ariff on
cotton manufactures as proposed by
Butler.
I'VE do not take kindly to some
Of the high tariffs now provided =
said OlGfield. "a reasonable rev.
enue tariff on raw materials used
in the production of automobiles
would save the industry 5000 000,'
600 a year, and result in cheaper
automobiles. Foreign markets for
American automobiles are being re-
stricted through retaliatory tariffs.
1T would save the railroads $780,
100000 a year if they could bring
about reduction in the tariff On
the commodities they use. Thev
could reduce passenger and freight
rates to this extent.
II consider the present tariff on
cotton goods extremely high. The
southern mills are making money
and could continue to do so of the
present tariff rates were reduced.
The New Englanders are too far
from the source of supply Of raw
material, and freight rates add to
their cost of production. Many of
their mills have not the most mod
ern labor and money-saving mach.
inery. All of New England's
troubles can not be laid to lack of
tariff protection"

to 24.39 or 25 points net down from
