SUGAR TARIFF
JOLTS SENATE
Second Roll Call Expected
To Take Lumber and
Cement Off List

WASHINGTON, March 6.-tR-
Jolted by a reversal on the sugar
tariff, the senate coalition OF DEM
ocrats and republican independents
was girding itself today TO protect
its other victories n the gruelling
tariff controversy.
All OF the high spots In the vol
luminous tariff bill are coming Up
for final votes IN the closing hours
of the six months debate. On the
first Of these final roll calls yester-
day, the senate agreed TO increase
the tariff on Cuban sugar from
Its cents a pound to two cents
The sugar increase was voted, AZ
to 80. Previously the senate had
voted 48 TO IS against an increase
to go cents a pound. There were
charges Of trade among senators
interested in sugar, lumber anc
oil duties, but this was stoutly de-
MED.
Second roll calls are to come or
the attempts to take lumber anc
cement off the free list: TO retair
the duty on brick; to give q tariff
to hides, leather and shoes. anc
on a multitude Of other contro-
versiaI rates. Most Of these were
settled by narrow margins before
Despite the alarm of some over
the reported trade" on sugar. lum-
Der and oil, coalition leaders were
confident today that they had the
votes to beat down again the de-
termined attempts for tariffs or
oil and lumber.
