TARIFF LAWYER
SOUGHT FOR
PEOPLE
BY International News Service

The novel proposal Tor
giving the consumers Of the
country a voice in the delib-
erations of the United States
Tariff Commission was pend
ing in the Senate today az
Administration forces AWAITED
a general assault on the indus
trial sections of the new tariff
bill.
A plan for creating the office Of
Consumers Counsel" as an adjunct
to the Tariff Commission, was spon-
sored by Senator George Cd OF
Georgia. He suggested the President
be authorized to choose a prominent
attorney for the post at a salary OF
S12, 900 a year. The counsePs duties
would be to represent the consuming
public, heretofore voiceless and UNI
represented in any charge Of tariff
duties.
Watson Confident
This proposal furnished the mater
ial for a skirmish in the tariff war
and while it was opposed by admins.
tration leaders, they showed little
interest In the outcome. The Repube
lican leadership was more concerned
about the pending motion of Senator
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, for recon-
fiitment of the bill to the Senate
Finance Committee with instructions
that all industrial rates be eliminated.
II this motion should carry, it
would leave the tariff bill bereft OF
industrial rates and containing only
the administrative features and the
agricultural schedule.
I'VE have no fear Of the outcome
on Senator Thomas notion" oh.
served Senator Watson R) Of In
diana. the majority leader. 1T will be
defeated by a much larger majority
than voted previously against limit
| ing tariff revision to the agricultural
schedule. There is no doubt but the
motion will be defeated"
The Thomas motion will mark thu
second attempt to eliminate at one
sweep all the industrial rates. The
first effort was led by Senator
Borah R.) of Idaho and it was de-
| feated by the margin of singH
vote. Since then, increased rates
have been levied on industrial
| products in two-score States and the
voting will be quite different.
Battle Over Rates
The battle over specific rates will
get under way this week. probably
tomorrow. There will be a stiff
struggle between the Republican
organization and the Democratic-In.
surgent alliance to dominate the
situation. Unbiased observers an.
ticipated constant ebb and flow
of fortune for each group, since
party lines will be broken on viz.
tually every rate.
The coalition, however, will con.
centrate its greatest efforts on re.
ducing the Republican rates given
to sugar, pig iron, steel, watches,
hides, leather, shoes, cotton and
wooden goods. In these contests
they may win more often than they
lose.
