Tariff Debate Dominates Capitol Session In May
At Washington on May 18 the tariff bill discussion dominated congressional attention as both chambers adjourned and the house ways and means committee prepared for final hearings on party appeals. Farm relief talks paused to await senate and house conference committee meetings on export debenture provisions, with only two of ten lawmakers favoring the debenture portion. The senate and house negotiations over other disputed sections promise a lengthy process, while the house aims to finalize amendments after Tuesday. The sugar duties proposal sparked sharp criticism from AFL president William Green in a letter read into the record, and the senate focused on census matters and Irvine Lenroot’s confirmation to the court of customs and patent appeals.
