A tariff on foreign of! and another on foreign coal were carried to victory by a coalition which roughly split both parties in two. The first was voted in 43 to 37, the second by 39 to 34. . The reaction of the most strenuous opponents of the limited-tariff pro- gram nearly took their foes’ breath away. Senator Tyding (Dem., Md.) offered five hundred tariff amend- ments.

James Morris em- Phasized the common interest which jholds the group together, defining it as opposition to the idea of encroach- ment of the state government into the field, of business, with the possible re- submitted one amendment to write the export debenture farm relief plan into the bill. If all were to be debated and voted on, the senate would get through with the bill eventually, but no time soon. As things stood Saturday the senator- jal leaders concentrated on one thought only—to hold the revenue bill intact and get it passed before July 1,/ when the fiscal year begins. The two votes sought Saturday to complete the bill's tariff schedule were on lumber and copper. The same coalition, more or less. was expected to function with equal effect, and at some point during the dehate it. was. hoped obstructive tactics would be dropped for the sake of getting the bill passed.
