Tariff hearings may face GOP pushback in Senate finance debate
Washington May 12 Senator Penrose plans a lengthy filibuster to push for open tariff hearings before the Senate Finance Committee. Many Republican leaders doubt unified backing for the tactic, preferring to save oratory for the final bill stage while Democrats signal some support. The panel may alter key schedules including oil and metals, with Penrose’s move signaling a sharp early clash as both parties position on free wool and sugar provisions. Senate discussions also touch on Sherman Act prosecutions for wage reductions, amid broader labor and antitrust tensions.
