Pleads for Duty on Iron Ore in Revenue Plan
Senator Burrows urged a duty on iron ore to raise government revenue, arguing 56,000 workers earned 31.5 million dollars and the U S would lose when ore is placed on the free list. He cited 3.5 billion tons of high grade ore in U S and 72.0 billion in lower grades in the region, plus 1.58 billion tons of Caban deposits. Glass schedule passed over as Senate debated tariffs. The house defeated a Porto Rican committee resolution 74 to 104. Philippine tariff measures followed to protect insular revenue.
