Joker Is Found in New
 Tariff Bill by Hawlev

Washington, June IT (UP)-A joker" has been found in the new tariff.
 Chairman Shoot of the senate finance committee and Chairman Hawley of the house ways and means committee have discovered that the refined sugar duty pro- vided Tn the bill IS not what was intended.
 The rate. it is indicated, will permit importation of refined sugar at lower duty than raw sugar. thus encouraging further establishment of retneries in 4 Cuba.
 Something ought to be done about it, Hawley said today, but 1t is too late to do anything at this session of congress"
