Many of the products given protec-

cement, softwood lumber. long staple
cotton, hides, feathers, boots and shoes,
all now on the free list. The duty of
81 per thousand feet on lumber, how

The major rate reductions are on

'JUNE q IS SEEN
FOR ADJOURNMENT
Special Session of Senate
to Consider Treaty
to Follow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the end of the long tariff con-
troversy in sight, congressional leaders
are looking forward to an adjournment
week from tomorrow.
The special session of the Senate for
consideration of the London naval limi-
tations treaty will be called Immediately
by President Hoover, but the weary
Senators hope to join the House men,
berShip in vacation by July 4.
Rivers and harbors legislation gets
first call in the Senate after the tariff
bill is disposed of today. 1t probably
will not be taken up for debate until
Monday. Chairman johnson of the
commerce committee is hopeful of
speedy action on the measure providing
an outlay of more than $4,000, 900
over three-year period in waterways
Improvements.
The House bill liberalizing veterans
relief is second on the calendar of pre-
ferred legislation, and 1t gets attention
Immediately after the rivers and har-
bors contest is ended.
The attitude of President Hoover
toward both the rivers and harborS and
the veterans relief measure is consid-
cred doubtful, and there is prospect
that both propositions might be left in
conference between the Senate and
House until next session opens In De-
cember.
Already the Muscle Shoals dispute
has been laid aside for settlement at
the next session. The House with its
bill for private leasing of this gigantic
power property in Alabama and the
Senate with its measure for Govern
ment operation have failed to reach an
understanding.
The second deficiency appropriation
bill carrying emergency funds to meet
expenditures authorized by legislation
enacted at this session is on its way
through Congress. With its adoption
there is little prospect of keeping Con-
gresS at work any longer.
No move will be made toward ad-
journment of this session until the de-
ficiency bill is all the way through the
legislative mill. That will probably be
late neXt week.
Last minute fights to force action on
any of several controversial propositions
are in sight to threaten adjournment,
but the legislators are so worn out from
almost 18 consecutive months OF work
that they are in a mood to brush every
thing aside for the vacation. The APP
proach of the biennial campaigns also
is increasing the desire of many to get
back home.
An effort will be made in the Senate
to put through the House measure APP
plying Federal restrictions to motor bus
transportation and there is an indica-
ton of final action on this bill.

C. OF C. PREPARES PLAN
TO AID OHIO FARMERS
Credit and Fact-Finding Commit
tees Organized in Drought
Stricken Counties of State.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 9.-Im-
mediate steps to aid drought-stricken
farmers of Ohio were being taken today
by committee of the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce.
The committee went into action i'm
mediately and was organizing local
credit and fact-flnding committees in
all of the Notwithstanding counties Of
the State. These committees will as
certain the condition of crops at pres
ent and the amount of relief needed.
Among relief plans put forward was
the suggestion by State Director of
Agriculture Perry L. Green that a
Statewide finance corporation be or
ganized to handle the situation.
Reports to the general committee
from the drought-stricken regions in
Southeastern and Southwestern Ohio
showed garden truck destroyed and the
Southeast hay crop one-third normal.
1t was said that only abundant rain
fall would prevent an acute water
shortage and that dairymen of the
Southwest feared they could not con-
tinue operations if the cost of hay went
more than $40 ton. Considerable hay,
left from last year, will aid materially,
it was reported. Supplies of hay in other
States are being looked into by the
committee.
