Senate Finance Committee to Open Tariff Hearings
Washington reports the Senate Finance Committee will hold hearings on the Fordney emergency tariff bill starting Thursday and continuing to next Tuesday. The move, opposed by tariff opponents, is seen by supporters as a potential kill shot for the bill. Senator Smoot warned the action could kill the measure in conference or on the Senate floor. The session also set dates for soldier compensation hearings and marks Sen. Penrose’s return as chair after thirteen months. A motion to open hearings drew sharp exchanges, with Democrats backing and Republicans split. A substitute tariff plan on zinc rates, proposing duties by ore and product form, was among alternative approaches discussed by Sen. Spencer.
