Tariff bill fight opens in doubt as congress readies vote
The long delayed tariff debate begins Wednesday in a hazy atmosphere with President Hoover keeping hands off.

Chairman Smoot attacks Mrs. Norton for claiming tariffs raise prices, asserting the claim is a long standing democratic falsehood.
