Sugar Coal and Iron Come Next in Order in Senate
The Senate will conclude tariff debate with votes next week. Sugar duty fights loom amid proposals to abolish the Wilgon sugar bounty or replace it with duties while coal and iron ore schedules face amendments. Republican support may hinge on free sugar and income tax ties, with internal revenue and tobacco provisions also in play as Democrats resist the bond policy. Senator Lodge and others plan remarks, and Peffer Allen resolutions threaten the week’s pace as bond and tariff issues collide in Washington.
