Delay on Tariff Seen in Senate
Washington May 8 President Wilson’s plan to push the tariff bill through the senate encounters delays. Senator Hoke Smith says the bill cannot leave the finance committee for two to three weeks, perhaps four or five, due to many necessary amendments to transform it into a scientific tariff law. Subcommittees have wrestled with the bill ten days with limited progress amid hearings and arguments from cotton textile fabric manufacturers and other industries.
