Southern Senators Would Kill Tariff Bill

Washington June 15 The pending tariff bill nears final passage but faces jeopardy over the Jones amendment affecting wool goods. Woollen manufacturers led by Walter Stanton claim a 50 percent duty on goods valued at 1 per pound would ruin mills, while a 60 cent per pound threshold, totaling 60 percent duty, could help poorer consumers. Senators from the South oppose the change, though two remonstrants would back the bill under protest. The committee remains between opposing pressures from manufacturers and regional lawmakers seeking relief.
