Because they are considered

annual Proletarian Autumn Revel
of the New York District of the
international Labor Defense, to be
held Oct, IL, at Webster Hall, 119
E. 18th St.
The |. L. D. revel will be an old
clothes affair with prizes to be given
to those wearing the oldest and
shabbiest clothes. All the proceeds
will go for the defense of the Gas
tonia and other class war prisoners.
Among the cases to benefit from the
revel will be those of Mario Giletti
and Michele Piccolella, two anti
fascist workers, who are being
threatened with deportation back
to fascist Italy. The appeal in their
cases comes up this month and it is
hoped that the Autumn Revel will
provide sufficient funds to fight this
appeal successfully.

HOOVER BEATEN
ON TARIFF BILL
BY COALITION
Both Parties Divided
on Rate Issue
Continued from Page Onel

tC0ntlnNed from rage OHeJ
vision an amendment by Senator
Simmons, N. C, democratic tariff
leader. This provides for reports
by the tariff commission to the
president. The latter then would
submit the report to congress- with
recommendations, but Only congress
would have power to act. The tariff
making power was granted the
president by the 1922 act.
The amendment was written by
Senator Simmons, the democratic
tariff leader, and perfected by SEN
ator Norris, republican farm bloc
leader of Nebraska.
Republican senators from the ag-
ricultucal states voted against the
Hoover program on tariff because
the farmers are growing sharply
critical of the Administrations fail
ure to introduce measures that they
consider essential for farm relief,
They regar dthe tariff bill of 1929
as favoring the industrialists at the
expense of the farmers. The repub-
lican senators from these states
would not dare face their farm con-
stituencies were they to vote fer the
Hoover demands.
The republican vote for the
Hoover proposition came from the
Old Guard representing big bankers
and industrialists. The democrats
that split with the majority Of their
colleagues and voted for the Hoover
proposition reflected the change that
has taken place place in MANY for
mer predominantly agricultural
states that are now industrialized.
White House Gloomy.
The defeat for the President to-
day was his second at the hands of
the Senate, which fouted his desires
on the debenture.
Hoover's experience with the Sem
ate to date is similar to that of
President Coolidge, who lost time
after time when he took issue with
ton japanese exclusion, the bonus
and the McNary- Haugep bill, to
mention some of the more prominent
conflicts.
1t was this presage of continuous
treble that threw gloom over the
White House and into ranks of Ad
ministration leaders tonight.
Debate was started today by SEN
ater Johnson, republican, Calf,
who "broke" with the President on
this issue, as he did on the deben-
ture, pointing out in his speech that
he had opposed the flexible provision
originally. Senator Borah of Idaho,
ardent Hoover campaigner, was
leader of the western republicans
who voted against the President.
Both Parties Divide.
The vote follows:

CHICAGO. Sept. 7.-tPI-A ninth
inning rally enlivened the wheat pit
today after a DARK start. The tone
for the most part had been heavy.
but improved demand from north
western millers for December wheat
at the easier levels inspired a late
upturn In which short covering
played a part.
Corn was weak throughout. the
overnight frost along the Canadian
border having wrought M apparent
damage to corn.
Wheat closed firm at prices un-
changed to 12c down.
Iowa and Nebraska for the most
part escaped last nights freeze and
the regions affected are unimportant
corn growers. With trading quiet
and rains in order corn values were
easier. Oats gained strength from
bullish views OF the feed situation
and OF the Canadian yield. Pro-
visions declined a little on scattered
liquidation.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-tRg-Cot-
ton vas comparatively quiet today
and fluctuations were attributed
chiefly TO evening up Of accounts
in preparation for the government
crop report which is to be published
Monday. Early advances on some
trade buying and covering were toll
lowed by reactions under liquidation
with December selling off from
1885 to 1925 where it closed. The
general market closed steady at net
declines OF | to 10 points.
The opening was steady at an adj
vance Of | to 4 points on buying.
October sold up 70 1903 and
March to 1887. making net gains
OF about z TO Q points on the active
positions but the demand then
seemed TO have been pretty well
supplied and the advances were lost
in the later tradIng. Southern sell
ing on the decline extended 10
1890 for October contracts and
1915 for March making net de-
clines Of about 5 to 6 points on
the active positions.
Liverpool cabled that hedging and
local liquidation had been bsorbed
by trade calling and continental
buying ard that the demand for
cotton cloth was broadening.
Cotton on shipboard awaiting
clearance at the end of the week
was estimated at 81. 1000 bales
against 1900 last year.
