Congress Moves Toward Tariff Vote With Retroactive Claim
Washington reports that both houses press ahead with major work to clear calendars. The tariff bill is slated for a House vote tomorrow at 3 PM and likely passage along party lines, with a Senate referral on Thursday. Debate under the five minute rule proceeds by paragraphs, with opposition to each section delaying broad action. A proposal to make the new duties retroactive to April 15 sparked speculation, as committee action would set the new rate operative after April 1. Supporters defend the measure as constitutionally valid, citing Supreme Court precedents. Members McCall, Lovering oppose high woolen and cotton rates, urging a tariff that sustains industry. Other defenders include Grosvenor, Russell, and Dingley asserting the Woolen schedule mirrors McKinley era prosperity. Johnson seeks amendments that could be stalled by debate, while Sherman enforces House rules. Changes made in committee are minor.
