Washington May 20 The House passed the Tax and Tariff Bill by suspension of the rules after a spirited debate. Aiming to fix May 29 as adjournment, Dawes and party maneuvered to push the resolution, while a separate motion passed to suspend rules and report the Senate adjournment resolution immediately.
