The tranquility which has character- ized tariff hearings of the House ways and means committee was shattered [yesterdly by a partisan dispute over Re- publican plans to exclude Democrats from the committee room during actual Kfi A e NI FH e consideration of what changes are to be effected in the import duties. The a ent, which remained un- settled at adjournment of hearings on the metals schedules, was touched off after Representative Bacharach, Repub- lican, New, Jersey, had snnounced that the subcommittee on metals, which he will head, would attempt to obtain all the information possible before -propos- ln‘g t':ny rate changes to the full com- ittee. Representative Garner of Texas, rank- ing Democrat on the committee, Who, with all minority members, will be ex- cluded from subcommittee sessions, con=- tended these meetings should consider data obtained only at the open hearings and protested nn‘lnst tariff “benefici- aries” sitting in and “writing the rates.” Interviews Outside Hearings Hit. “Personal interviews outside the hear- ings should not prevail” Garner said, adding that all the data obtained should be made available to Congress when the bill was reported. Replying to Garner, Representative Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts, THE said he did not believe the subcommit- tee would be obliged to recommend duties wholly on the basis of testimony taken at the open hearings. He added they would be within their rights in collecting any data and charged the ‘exan with seeking publicity as on.the ;)cczlon of his recent fight on tax re- fun “The American people are going to benefit by this bill,” Treadway declared. “No beneficlary is writing this tariff.” Bacharach argued that part of the information obtained in subcommittees undoubtedly would be of a confidential nature and could not be divulge, even in the committee report. When he sug- gested that Democrats might have some confidential information to impart, Rep- resentative Collier, Democrat, Missis- sippi, sald if he had any information at all it would not be of that nature. Democrats and Republicans engage: in another tiff over a suggestion by Representative Hull, Democrat, Tennes- see, that the committee place witnesses under oath when it was déemed ad- visable. Representative Ramseyer, Repuhlican, LIFETIME A A AL AT A the" famnly that rejoices in numerous grandchildren. 1929—PART 1. Iowa, thought this would be unfair to witnesses still to be heard and suggested Hull should have made his motion be- fore the hearings started. Hull said he would insist on this procedure, and add- ed that only during consideration of the Fordney-McCumber act was this meth- od dispensed with. ‘With conclusion of hearings yester- day on the metal schedule, nu com- mm.ee completed the taking of testi- mony on the first four ucciam of the law. Tomorrow it will tackle the sugar schedule, a big fight on which is in prospect. The schedules of interest to the farm industry will be reached Jan- uary 24. Indications that the Democrats will opposeg any increases in the metal rates was given yesterday by Representative Garner. During the cross-examination d | of & New York imporur, who had pro- tested against any raise in the tariff on art metals, the Texan said that im- ports of metals totaling $31,000,000 a year constituted less than 1 per cent of domestic production and exports were five times that figure.
