Tin Plate Debate Sparks Vote on Bounty Plan
In the Senate on August 14 Senator Plumb proposed replacing a 2-10 cent duty on tin plate with a 1 cent per pound duty plus a US-made tin plate bounty of 1 cent. Supporters argued duty would lift production, while opponents doubted any quick domestic buildup. The chamber narrowly rejected West’s amendment. Plumb later offered, then withdrew, an alternative plan before adjournment.
