Nebraska Senator Hitchcock's tariff revolt shakes caucus
Washington July 2 Senator Altehooek of Nebraska withdrew from the democratic tariff caucus and his tobacco tax amendment was voted down 8 to 18. The revolt prompted a binding caucus resolution to back the Dillax plan and restrict amendments from the Republican side. Senator Simmons opposed the Hitchcock amendment, while Kern supported it, noting no implications for trust or monopolies. The finance committee’s vote on child labor clause revisions was also noted as proceeding without blocking American trade.
