Four Tariff Offensives Forecast in Fordney Bill Debates
Washington July 13 Four major amendments are expected to shape battles over the Fordney tariff when amendments open Friday. Key fights include removing the dye embargo, removing duties on crude oil and placing a seven cent per pound tariff on cotton, with higher duties on cotton goods. Proposals also aim to add a compensatory duty on boots and shoes and to impose duties on hides. President Harding opposes oil duties in a letter Fordney says he received, fueling moves to strike oil duties with possible presidential repeal powers for country export duties. Republican leaders anticipate Democratic opposition to cotton proposals weakening.
