TARIFF NTAITTNO END
Probability of an Early Vote Fore-
shadbwed In the Senate.
FREE COAL FOR OUR SHIPS.
The Amendment Allowing For a Rebate
to American Vessels Adopted—Cotton
Bagging and Kindred Products
Are on the Free List.
Washington, July 2,-The near ap-
proach of the completion of the tariff
bill was referred to in the opening
prayer in the senate today by Rev.
Hugh Johnson, who said: “We recog-
nize thy hand in this work of commer-
cial legislation now near completion
in so short a period of congressional
history. We thank thee for the cour—
age, the disinterestedness and the gen-
erosity exhibited by senators and rep-
resentatives, and that party interest
and feelings and local interests have
been subordinated to the expressed
will of the majority in this legislation.”
The tariff bill was taken up prompt-
ly. At the .outset Mr. Teller (0010.)
made inquiries as to the reports that an
antitrust amendment would be brought
in. This was a most important matter,
he said, and there should be ample timg
for the consideration of it.
Mr. Allison said he did not know
what disposal was to be made of the
subject, as‘no action had been taken
by the finance committee.
Mr. Teller said it had been reported
about the chamber that such an amend—
ment had been considered in caucus.
He urged that it should not be brought
in at the last moment for a vote, “as
that will not be done,” he added with
positiveness.
Mr. Allison gave assurances that no
such hasty action would be taken.
Mr. White (Cal.) remarked that he
‘ thought the entire antitrust subject
had been dropped.
5‘The trouble with the senator
(W'hite) and myself,” answered Mr.
Teller, “is that we are not members of
the Republican caucus and are there—
fore somewhat in the dark.”
On Mr. Allison’s motion the para-
graph of the free list relating to paint—
ings and statuary was struck out,
these articles having been placed on
the dutiable list.
Paragraph 441, cocoa matting, was
reconsidered, and motions by Mr. Jones
(Ark) to lower the duty were rejected,
and the paragraph agreed to as re-
ported.
.'~ Coal Paragraph Amendment.
,Mr. Allison reported back the amend-
ment to the coal paragraph offered by
Mr. White yesterday, allowing a draw-
back of duty on coal used on American
vessels engaged in foreign trade and in
the trade between Atlantic and Pacific
ports of the United States. The origi-
nal amendment was modified by the
committee to omit the coastwise trade.
The amendment caused much de—
bate, and several senators urged that
it go over, Mr. V‘Veliington (Md.) say—
ing he regarded it as a blow to the en-
tire coal trade. ‘
Mr. Vest (Mo.) interposed the state-
ment that Democratic senators were
being asked when they would permit
the tariff bill to pass, when, as a mat—
ter of fact, they were making no ob—
struction. Now, however, said he, this
coal paragraph was brought up again
and was to go over. It was decided to
go on with the amendment
Mr. Allen (Neb.) proposed a further
amendment allowing the drawback on
coal, not only to vessels, but to “inhab-
itants of the United States.”
“Does that mean free coal?” asked
Mr. Clarke ( WM).
“Yes, free coal,” answered Mr. Allen,
who argued that the people were as
much entitled to the benefits of free
coal as were the owners of vessels.
Mr. Platt (Conn) stated that this
was not a question of free coal, but
simply one as to giving American ves-
sels the same advantages enjoyed by
foreign vessels. While there was quite
a sentiment for free coal in his part of
the country, yet he had always believed
the coal industry of the United States
should receive the care of congress.
A Lively Colloquy.
”But should not the people receive
the care of congress?" asked Mr. Allen.
Mr. Platt answered that by fair pro-
tection to American industry, no con-
‘sumer suffered one penny.
Mr. Allen and Mr. Clarke were involv-
ed in a sharp personal colloquy con—
cerning the former’s reference to pau-
per labor in the coal mines.
Mr. Clarke indignantly resented the
implied insult to the coal miners, and
Mr. Allen disclaimed any such purpose.
The discussion branched off to the con-
dition of the miners in Wyoming,
Washington, Pennsylvania and else-
where. Mr. Allen asserted that coal
miners were the lowest paid class of
labor in the country and that the con-
tract labor laws .were defied by the im-
portation of pauper miners from abroad.
After further debate Mr. Allen's
amendment was rejected and the com-
mittee amendment allowing drawbacks
to American vessels was agreed to
without divisions.
Mr. Spooner (Wis) gave notice of a
comprehensive amendment providing
for titlassig ment of three general ap-
praisers to make an investigation of all
questions relating to the tariff; the con-
dition of industries which are affected
by the tariff; the condition of industries
abroad which compete with American
industries; the differences in labor cost
here and abroad; also to make an anal—
ysis of the schedules of this tariff bill
with a view to correcting any inequali-
ties that may exist. The result of the
inquiry is to be reported to the secre-
tary of the treasury and to congress.
The senate then placed on the free
list cotton ties, cotton bagging, burlap,
grain sacks made of burlap' and other
bags made of jute or hemp—yeas, 30;
nays, 25.
