Tariff Support.

A staten1Ont assailing Representative
Strong, Republican, of Kansas, for his
recent attack on the proposal of Repre-
sentative Garner Of Texas, the Demo
cratic floor leader, to form a Demo
acknowledgements Republican coali-
ton in the House on the tariff bill was
made yesterday by Representative Nc
Dutte, Democrat, Of Alabama.
In the statement, made public
through the Democratic national COM
mittee, McDuf1e, the Democratic whip
said that Strong, a member of the
House farm bloc, had responded to the
demand of the Republican regulars and
supported 1.-The excessive rates in be-
half of manufacturers" in the Hawley
bill when it was before the House.
Charges "Backfire Started"
McDuffle charged that Strong had
started a backfire to 6iscredit and dis
concert the movement" initiated by
Garner. He said the KanSan said that
Gamers leadership would not be &C
cepted, but that he could join the Re-
publicans in aiding agriculture.
The minority leader recently suggest
ed that coalition be formed to obtain
a record vote on the rates and to send
to conference when it returned to the
House from the Senate.
Asserting he was not surprised at
Strongs statement, the ALBANIAN said
Mr. Garner Is not so much inter-
ested in the sources Of leadership What
he desires is an honest effort to ac-
complish results, and has said If the
Republicans will help the farmers he
will follow their leadership. The
Democrats, under Mr.. Gamers leader
ship, will give their honest efforts to
aid agriculture and do not care whose
leadership accomplishes that result"
Charges Statement Error.

said the Texan had voted against the
emergency tariff of 1921, and the
Kansan was erroneous

others Of the West who have hereto
fore condemned the excessive dis
criminatory rates for industry and

.DOAK IS DOOMED
TO SUCCEED DAVIS
Brotherhood President Urges
Hoover to Appoint Train
mems Official to Cabinet.

Appointment of w. N. Doak, vice
president and legislative representative
in Washington Of the Brotherhood OF
Railroad TTainmen, as Secretary OF
/ Labor, when James j. Davis retires
from that post, was urged upon Presi-
dent Hoover yesterday by A. r. Whit

Brotherhood, and w. L. McMenimen
connected with the Pullman Co., and
high in the councils Of the brother
hood.
These two brotherhood leaders told
the President that the appointment of
Mr.. Doak would be very pleasing to
laboring men and women In every
branch Of industry. They also repre-
Sented Mr.. Doak as being eminently
qualified for this cabinet post.
Hoover Familiar With Work.
This latter was said to have been
hardly necessary, as President Hoover
is familiar with Doak's record, mas
much as he seriously considered him in
his connection at the time he was max
ing up his cabinet portfolio.
1t Is understood that there was some
opposition to Doak in organized labor
quarters at the time, and it was be-
cause of this that the President decided
against this choice and prevailed upon
Secretary Davis to remain in Office fol-
another year. Secretary Davis has re-
! Gently indicated that he will not re-
| main in the cabinet when his year ex-
| pires March 4 next There Is con-
siderable talk of his becoming a candi-

Endorsement of Mr.. Doak at this
time by Mr.. Whitney, as head of the
brotherhood, is looked upon In political
circles here as indicating that the dis
sension in labor circles regarding Doak's
appointment to the cabinet has dis
| appeared.
Doak, a native Of Roanoke. va, for
the last several years has been living
