Question Over Pottery

A story of alleged attempts to in tiuence the tariff commission in de- termning valuation of pottery i'm portations was the first of many such reports to engage the attention of the committee.
 Frederick l.. Koch, an expert with the commission; William Burgess of Morristown, Pa, a former republi- can member of the tariff commis- sion. and Chairman Marvin and Commission Brossard were called for questioning in connection with this story.
 On completing this investigation, the committee will turn its attention to the tariff bills controversial sugar schedule and the contest that has been waged through publicity and other means by those outside of congress interested in upholding or blocking the proposed increase In the duty of this commodity.

The group in cludos two of the republican inde- pendents-Borah and Blaine-who are fighting the tariff measure as framed by the republican regulars on the finance committee.
 RumorS of Coalition Among the many stories placed before the committee for inquiry is one to the effect that the representa- lives of industry. labor and agricul- ture got together at a dinner and agreed to combine forces in support of the pending tariff measure.
 Senator Walsh said he had heard that Joseph Grundy. president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers associ- ation; Matthew Woll, a vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, and Chester Gray. a repre- sentative of the American farm bureau federation, had dined to- gether in New York and had dis cussad the feasibility of supporting the tariff measure in it's present ! form.

 The letter was referred by the presidents secretary to the tariff commission. Koch said it then came to his attention and he asked the tariff commissions to investigate him, but no action was taken.
 Koch said his friendship with Walker began in 1922 when the last tariff bill was before congress. He added he understood some represen- tative of labor had complained of his attitude.
 ''I have no grudge against the pot te1y industry or labor" he insisted.
