Senate cleans up amendments to tariff measure
Senate approved all but two amendments offered by individual senators to the administration tariff bill with debate centering on aluminum and oil duties. Senator Harreld, a Republican from Oklahoma, fought to keep petroleum and fuel tariffs high while Democrats pressed to lower aluminum rates. Treasury influence and possible self interest were charged as factors in the bill's drafting, with McCumber denying Treasury involvement. End goal remains to prepare the bill for a final vote and send it to conference as President Harding could act early in September.
