” -CALLS TARIFF BILL NEAR T0 EMBARGO Senator Simmons Says U. S. Valuation Plan Will Pro- tect High Prices. American valuation provisions of the Fordney tariff bill were character- 4zed by Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, today as only a step from an embargo. During Senate finance committee discussions Mr. Simmons told his committee colleagues he had no otrer thought than that it would serve as an embargo to let American ' manufacturers maintain high prices. The hearing was scheduled to be the last before the committee decides whether the American valuation pro- visions will be retained in the Senate bill. _Doll and toy manufacturers Fad testified that German competition was thi indusry. ant to keep out all said Senator Simmons. The witress, C. Ives, New York, replied that he believed American children should be supplied only with American products. Mr. Simmons re- called_testimony earlier in the day that German dolls were sold here for $11.50 a dozen, while the home-made oy was priced at $30, and, turning 10 republican members of the com- mittee, demanded to know whether jt was the plan to make up such differences by the American valua- tion and high rates. He received no answer. & Most American marufacturers of toy trains have closed their plant: sccording to W. O. Coleman, a Chi cago manufacturer, who said German trains were being sold at $2 to §4 a cozen below American prices. LIFE-SAVING AWARDS. Secretary Mellon Announces Four Men So Honored.
