and compromise the calling of sew

The decisive factor in the Loray

matter, is food. If the strikers get
rations, even though small ones, they
will stick out and win.

William S. Osgood, 30, refused to
obey the commands of three nattily
dressed boy bandits carly today and
they shot and killed him.

Club members, with cars nearby,
attempted to follow a light machine

HEAVY BATTLE
EXPECTED OVER
TARIFF ISSUES
Storm Brewing Behind
Closed Doors of Com
mittee Rooms.
BY PAUL r. MALION
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHI NGTON. April 27. U.D -
Mufflcd thunder cmanated from the
Louise ways and means committee
room today where the tariff bill is
being made ready for consideration
III the house carly next week.
Both houses were in recess unit!
Monday. The senate is ready fo.
another week of oratory over the
dcbcnturc plan Of farm relief but in
the end probably viii reject this
and pass a bill much like the one
the house adopted.
The house committee is finishing
up six weeks of work in executive
session, and while its members have
denounced every "lcak > of tn" pro
cccdings, authentic information has
been obtained indicating strenu-
Gus contest is developing over such
vital rates as sugar, wool and hides.
1t was reported on good authority
the sugar tariff, which reaches every
breakfast table, may be boosted from
1920 a hundred pounds to So. The
report has been sufficiently authen
:icatrd to cause the Cuban Ambas-
sador Fcrrara to deliver strong
speech in Philadelphia today, de-
nouncing the proposed increase.
Secrecy in Vogue
Wool may be boosted from 81
cents to 81 cents; corn from -
cents to % cents; cotton and wool
textiles considerably above their
present rates; hides, bricks, cements
and manganese materially increased
and lumber to remain unchanged en-
the free list.
These provisions can and may be
altered before the bill is presented
to the house probably next Tuesday.
All reports, indicate clearly a
heavy tariff battle is in prospect.
Democrats are split over the issues
and have announced their anger over
not being admitted to secret Repub-
lican meetings where some parts of
the bill are being written. The un-
usual secrecy has resulted in charges
that numerous deals are being made
between sectional representatives, a
practice known as clog rolling
whereby representatives Of various
sections form an alliance to put
over mutually beneficial rates.
Senate Republicans already have
announced their hearings are to be
secret although they do not expect
to begin work on the bill for a
month.
