TARIFF CONFEREES
SEEK. COMPROMISE
NDEBENYURE ROW
Senator Declares Effort to Elm.
mate Item Will Be
Contested

Washington, May 2.-FNThe
senate-house tariff conferees will
make another attempt tomorrow OF
Wednesday to reach a compromise
agreement in their dispute over
whether the flexible provisions of the
Smoot-Hawley bill shall continue OF
revoke the presidents authority to
emergency import duty
changes.
This question has produced a wide
variance of opinion among Republi-
car conferees. The house bill would
have the president retain his power
to increase OF lower rates by ne-fifth
per cent, while under the senate
measure, this authority would be TAX
en- over by congress.
Over the objection Of President
Hoover, the senate plan was written
into the bill by the coalition Of Dem
ocrats and Independent Republicans,
when 1t was in control Of the tariff
situation.
With an historic phrase. Senator
Connally, Democrat, Texas, last night
served warning that any effort to
eliminate the senate provision would
be determinedly contested.
W. propseto fight 1t out if it takes
all summer" he said. THE senate
amendment restoring to congress the
tariff making power is absolutely
fundamental. II the tariff bill passes.
1t must restore to the representatives
Of the people the right to make laws
that govern them"
Administration leaders, he contin-
ued, are determined to kill the senate
amendment andtheir grand strategy
is then to hammer through the high
schedules of the BILL"
The sugar. schedule again came to
the front over the weekend with ef-
forts to reopen 1T by a concurrent
resolution for the purpose of correct
ing an alleged error in calculating the
duty on the refined product.

Boats from Porto Limon recovered
the bodies, that of Colonel sidar be-
ing dashed into fragments. The
monoplane was smashed into bits.

storm came up. As the first drops Of

This law represents the result OF
seven years of toll, sacrifice and bit.
ter battle on the part of the farm
people of this country. It is the first
step in the adoption Of a national
policy that will enable farm people to
live and earn on the same basis as
the other economic groups of the
country"
Open War Declared
Remarking that the act seeks to
promote effective merchandising OF
agricultural commodities and to en-
courage producer-owned and con-
trolled cooperative marketing enter
prises. he continued:
But, already. great speculative
groups that year by year have
profited at the expense of agriculture
through fluctuations in the price OF
the produce of the farm. see the
handwriting on the wall. They have
openly and definitely declared war on
this policy.
1T is up to the organized farmers
Of the nation whether this policy
shall stand or whether it shall be de-
stroyed."
Urged to Warn Solons
Calling upon officers of the feder-
atoms 1887 county units to set the
machinery in notion" he urged:
See to it that your representatives
In congress be not confused; that
they know beyond misunderstanding
that the declared policy of the agri-
cultural marketing act parallels the
demand Of American agriculture;
that II amendment is made to this
act, they know it must be an amend
ment designed to further facilitate
the carrying out Of the policy and not
an amendment which will in any way
hamper Or obStruct this work."
