TARIFF ACTIVITIES
Senator Stands Firm on
Statement He Has No
Apology to Make.

Senator Grundy took his seat in the
Senate today, still standing firm on his
statement issued on the floor last night
that he had no apologies to make for
transferring records and files from the
American Tariff League news bureau to
his quarters in the Senate once Build
ing, for employing one of his old as
sociates of the bureau to help him with
the tariff bill, or for permitting him to
use the facilities of his ONCE.
Following an admission before the
Senate lobby committee by Warren r.
Doane, editor Of the Manufacturer and
"a tariff expert" that he was on
Grundy's pay roll and performed part
Of his services in the Senator's ONCE,
Senator Blaine. Republican, of Wiscon-
! sin assaiIed Grundy on the floor last
night, and as well attacked Senator
Golf, Republican, Of West Virginia for
using data furnished by. Arthur L.
Faubel, general secretary of the Amer
lean Tariff League, in a speech last
Saturday, in which he attacked the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS coalition on its
tariff tactics.
GOff Denies Faubel's Aid.
Senator Goff denied that Faubel had
aided except to prepare historical data
and turned flercely on the lobby com.
mittee for attempting to embarrass
him because his views differed from
those of the Senators composing the
committee. Reading from the record
of the committees proceedings, he
showed testimony by Eugene r. Pick
rell, lobbyist, representative of the
German chemical and dye cartel, that
he had prepared similar data used on
the floor by Senators La Toilette, in
surgent Republican, of Wisconsin and
King, Democrat, of Utah.
AS for his speech attacking the coali-
ton. Senator Goff said:
That speech stands for itself. I do
not intend either to retract It or to re-
peat 1t. You can go through It with
the fine tooth comb of the coalition and
find nothing but facts-and certainly
no personal attacks"
Senator COTS vehement denuncia-
ton of the lobby committee as q group
lending themselves to political devices
put his critics and those of Senator
Grundy on the defensive. Senator La
Toilette took the floor. interrupting the

himself, and Senator Caraway of Ar
kansas, Democratic chairman of the
lobby committee, came from the gal
lery to defend his committee.
Gaining the floor, Senator Blaine re-
minded the Senate of the colloquoy on
Friday by Senators Grundy, Caraway
and Pat Harrison, Democrat of Missis-
stppi, and Moses of New Hampshire,
Republican chairman of the rules COM
mittee. He proposed to correct, he said,
the testimony by Grundy In reply to
charges that members of his former
lobby were installed In his ONCE. First,
he asked that Senator Moses be abb
solved for repeating Senator Grundys
statement to him that no one occupied
the Offices but Senator Grundy's staff.
Charges "Concealment Of Fact"
Reading from the record of Fridays
debate, Blaine suggested that Grundy's
statement that Doane only visits there
when want him there" was "a con-
cealment of fact" Reciting the testi-
mony of Doane before the lobby COM
mittee, Senator Blaine, as If by an mad
vertence confused the testimony Of Mr.
