Senate completes agricultural bill starts on textiles
Washington reports the Senate, after two weeks of debate, moved to the textile section of the agricultural bill. The cotton schedule opened with a seven cent a pound duty on Dyritynit cotton to protect Arizona and Southern California staple cotton, amid amendments and extensive contention from Senators Smoot Ashurst and others. Supporters argue protection could boost Southwest production, while opponents warn of higher costs to consumers nationwide. The debate shows a broader clash over tariffs, industry protection, and regional interests.
