Garner urges independent Republicans to back Senate tariff
Washington Dec 28 Independent Republicans in the House were invited by Representative Garner to join a centrist bloc modeled on the Senate tariff coalition. The aim is to ensure the Smoot Hawley tariff provisions become law by voting for the Senate rates and sending only the administrative sections to conference, with a record vote on return. Garner argues the coalition would aid agriculture and industry alike and pressures farmers’ interests as the tariff bill stands, though some Midwest Republicans oppose the measure.
