Senate Tariff Shifts In Revenue Bill Debated In Congress
Washington April 28 AP The senate finance committee struck out copper duty and banned oil and coal import taxes in the revenue bill while house rates for autos rails and accessories were retained. The committee later restored the automobile tax and moved to reconsider oil coal and copper duties as the fight over tariffs continues. House amendments to allow broader power for Congress to alter import duties were sent to the president after debate with Republicans denouncing the bill as meritless and facing a likely veto.
