Fordney bill passes House with free list for hides oil cotton
The House approved the Fordney tariff by 289 to 127, adding hides oil cotton and asphalt to the free list and striking out a dyestuff embargo. An amendment to remove the American valuation and reciprocal provision failed 239 to 175. The measure could raise about 500 million annually if enacted. The dye embargo was defeated 209 to 133 amid opposition from textile manufacturers and fears of a domestic monopoly.
