‘4 ACTION ON TARIFF MEASURE DELAYED &2 Senators Hold to Gentlemen’s “Agreement and Will Not - Return Until September. =y the Associated Press. An opening session of the Senate without a quorum present is in prospect for the first meeting after the Summer Tecess on Monday. Hidden away in . vacation retreats from coast to coast, the scattered mem- bership of the Senate apparently is go~ ing to accept the gentlemen’s agree- ment reached by the party leaders to take up no business until September. Many of the Senators already have sent word to their secretaries that they will not return before September. The tariff bill, the order of business, won't be ready on Monday. In their anxiety to get an early start in con- sideration of the House tariff measure, administration leaders in the Senate limited the Summer recess to that date, but the weather and the worries in- herent in the tariff have upset their plan. Senate Must Meet. ‘The Constitution stipulates that neither branch of Congress may quit for longer than three days without the cansent of the other. Last June, when the Summer recess was taken, the Sen- ate asked for a vacation until August 19. The House agreed and took one until September 23. So, the Senate must meet on August 19 and every three days thereafter. The House won't be in session to extend the Senate holiday. ve the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

A motion journ takes precedence and in view of the agreement, no attmpt to take up other business is expected. Vietory for Steel Industry. The steel industry won an im) nt victory yesterday with the approval by the Senate finance committee Repub- licans of an amendment to the House tarift bill to permit the free entry into the United States of manganese ore. The majority committeemen adopted the amendment by a vote of 6 to 5, which was taken in reconsideration of a previous vote of 7 to 4 in favor of 5nxmn| the domestic ore producers ad- itional protection. No explanation for the reversal of position was given. Informed of the action, Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the Republican independents, who is expected to take a leading part in opposition to many in- dividual ssctions of the measure, said: “They might as well report the bill now, because the Senate is going to write it.” After voting to place manganese ore on the free list, the 11 Republican com- mitteemen approved amendments re- ducing to sixty-five one-hundredths of a cent a pound the bill rate of one and seven-eighths cents on ferroman- ganese containing more than 1 per cent of carbon, and manganese metal, silicon, boron and ferromanganese and spiegsleisen containing not more than 1 per cent of carbon. The 15 per cent ad valorem rate, in addition to the specific duty on manganese metal and the items grouped with that prod- uct, would not be disturbed. Law Enacted in 1922, ‘The present duty of 1 cent a pound on manganese ore containing in excess of 30 per cent metallic manganese was enacted in 1922 and was retained in the House bill. The Republican group voted first to retain the duty, but to make it apply to ore having a metallic manganese content of more than 10 per cent. This change, the ore producers had uorum is ore jucers, comprising the u‘n;m’:"“"m " had. saught s lon, 1% :m pound ‘th.: 1-cent IA cents & on_ores containing more than 30. per oeyt metallic manganese. ¢ They argued that under the present tariff the known tonnage of commercial {nnd in the United States ha further improvements in R:oneuu would tend further to enlarge the usable On the other d, of the American Iron & Steel Insti~ tute contended the duty had falled to encourage growth of domestic ore pro- duction; that after seven years' opera- tion of the tariff the steel manufacturers still were importing 95 per cent of their manganese supply, and that the duties on ore and meanganese alloys had cost the steel producers nearly $46.000,000. W. T. Mossman of Pittsburgh, an executive of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, saw in the action of the committee Republicans an important step leading to reduction of building costs. “Reaction of the Republican commit- tee members in returning manganese ore to the free list after seven years' experiment in domestic production,” Mossman said, “does more to reduce construction costs than any other item they could have acted on.” Committce Makes Progress. ‘The majority committeemen made rapid progress with the sundries sched- ule during two sessions lasting five and a half hours, and indications were that they would reach the controversial sugar duties, the only rates remaining to be decided, some time Friday. After all the rates are determined and turned over to the Democratic mem- bers of the committee for their con- sideration, the Republican members will take up a score of amendments which Senators have announced they intended to offer on the floor. Among these are the Norris and Brookhart export debenture proposals and the stock transactions tax amend- ment of Senator Glass, Democrat, Vir- ginia, While reports continued to circulate representatives been greatly increased, and that | his Cuban raws proposed by the House, as against 1.76 cents as at present, there was only culation as to what the rate. would Senator Borah, whc has an expert working on a sugar bounty plan, said ;u: wg\léd t;wt be uthnggn ge?n with a -cent duty as long as pine sugar is permitted free entry. e Idahoan added he would wait to see what rate is determined by the tarift u!l:unen before proceeding with plan. mont Avenue Baptist Church this eve- ning_at 8 o'clock.

Borah, ther with Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, criticized the ac- tion of the committee majority in vot- ing to retain the House rates on hides, leather and shoes, with some changes in the leather dutles, declaring the cat- tle raiser would not benefit by a hide tariff and would have his cost of liv- ing unnecessarily raised by the proposed shoe rate, Besides acting on manganese ore, the finance majority approved the House rates on id and platinum jewelry, Inces, *corsets, brassleres, cat gut, | 8t 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Annie Albert is the sponges and human hair. | organizer.
