SENATE MEETS
after RECESS
OF z MONTHS
No Business to Be Taken Up
Until Sept. d; Wait
Tariff Bill.
BIZ PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-After a
two-months midsummer recess to
allow the finance committee to pre-
pare the tariff bill, the senate re-
convened today, resuming the
extraordinary session called by Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover for farm re-
lief and tariff revision.
Rates of the new Republican
tariff bill as changed by the senate
finance committee were turned over
to the Democrats as the senate re-
convened.
TIL reconvened session lasted only
long enough to permit reading OF
the prayer by the chaplain, adoption
of the journal, and adjournment
until Thursday, in accordance with
the gentleman's agreement of lead
ers to do no business until the
tariff is ready for submission to the
senate Sept. 4.
Arriving senators found the long
draWn-out dispute among Repub-
lican leaders over how high the new
rates should go had prevented the
committee from finishing the bill
Having been informed of this
situation there we're only a few
senators on hand for the opening.
The text of the rate sections of
the bill we're being completed by
government printers who had to
work all night Sunday night in
extra shifts to complete it..
1t is to be published in news
papers Tuesday morning but most
of it's essential features already I'M
officially have been made public.
Enough is known of the bill to
lay the ground for what is expected
to be the most extended and heated
senate debate since the Versailles
treaty fight. 1t is obvious the Demo
Gratis are preparing to work with the
independent Republicans to lower
the rates as set by the house and
generally affirmed, or slightly cut
by the senate committee.
The principal dispute will come
over the sugar rate. The house
raised the present law, 1.76 cents a
pound on Cuban sugar to 2.40 cents
a pound.
Estimates as to what this will cost
the consumer have ranged all the
way from $5O,0O0,000 to 100000, 900
a year.
