' Zflffi@_ ON J0B Senate Committee Hears Story of Horace D. Cheney of Connecticut. By the Associated Press. i A slow speaking, mild mannered man testified today before the Senate lobby committee that he had been coming 10 ‘Washington since 1908 in the interest of a protective tariff on silk products. He was Horace B. Cheney of South Manchester, Conn., chairman of the legislative committee of the Silk As- sociation of America. Presenting a striking contrast to some of the pre- vious witnesses who d in heated arguments with members of the com- mittee, Cheney told the committee in placid tones that he had appeared at various times before the House ways and means committee, the Senate fi- and the conference threshed -out tariff differences between the two branches of Congress. Father in Same Work. Cheney, vice president of Cheney Brothers of South Manchester, said he first came to Washington with his father in 1908. His father, he added, had been engaged in the same work for many years. Questioned about the annual budget of the silk tion, he id it was about $200,000 a year, but he was not asked how it was expended. Cheney said he thought an amend- ment introduced in the House and Sen- ate had very little chance of success un- less it was spo by the ways and means or finance committees. He con- tended that frequently it was better to appear before the conference commit- tee when it attempts to reconcile differ- ences between the two houses. Asked if he had obtained what he de- sired from conference committees, Cheney replied: “Certainly I have ob- tained things from the conference ¢om- mittees. Tariff League Member. Cheney testified he also was a mem- ber of the American Tariff League, to which he contributed $1,000 a year. He added he gave $1,000 to a special educa- tion fund for the league in 1928, which was used “to promulgate an economic Previous witnesses said the fund was used to advocate a protective tariff dur- ing the 1928 presidential campaisn, but Cheney said it was not used diréctly to aid Republican candidates. | Questioned about his activity in con- nection with the pending tariff bill, Cheney said he had spent $1,962 in making 14 trips to Wi gton to ap- pear before committees of Congress. Cheney added his expenses were paid by his own company. ——— ‘IDEAL WEATHER’ MARKS END OF DUCK SEASON “Ideal weather” brought out an array of duck hunters today, who made their ‘way to snow-swept blinds to take full advantage of the waning season.
