Senate Tariff Bill Passes By Narrow Margin
The Senate approved the tariff bill 53 to 31 after a lengthy debate. Seven Democrats joined 46 Republicans for the measure, while 26 Democrats and Republicans opposed. The bill promises broad industrial rate revisions and higher protection for agricultural products, with House action expected and conference to follow. Senator La Follette denounced the bill as a “Grundy billion dollar tariff bill,” urging scrutiny, as Borah pressed for a robust export debenture and anti monopoly provisions to remain part of the package.
