Final Agreement Not Reached on Armor Price for Warships
Congressional conference on the tariff bill spent a busy day with sugar and wool schedules, and no final accord was reached on either. Senate and house conferees debated wool rates, with proposals to set all first and second class wools at 11 cents per pound and a tiered rate for third class wools, while disputes over jute and bagging items threaten delays to the process.

Senate Debate over Armor Plate Price for New Battleships
In Washington on July 14 a lively Senate debate focused on the price of armor plate for three new battleships under construction. An amendment set armor plate at 800 per ton, 125 below the committee’s suggested minimum, with another provision directing a government armor factory study for the next session. Senator Butler warned of humiliation if ships lack armor, while Senator Allen of Nebraska criticized navy expansion and linked army use in Chicago to treason. The armor amendment was added as the final major supply measure passed.
