Agre e or disagree on sugar tariff schedule
Washington August 4 The outstanding issue among tariff conferees at adjournment yesterday was whether the session today would yield any agreement or report a disagreement on the sugar tariff schedule. The details show a 40 percent ad valorem duty on raw sugar and 4 percent on refined sugar with differential terms related to sugar origin and production. Some conferees prefer the schedule as clearer than the senate version but others find its terms unacceptable. The conference adjourned with doubt whether an agreement would be reached, though pressure for a bill remains strong and action could come before adjournment tonight.
