(By Winfield Jones) Washington, D. (., June 30—The Senate caucus has increased the tarisf rate on oranges in the fruit sched- ules of the Underwood bill, above what it was when it came over from the ouse. After a hard fight by the Senators from FKlorida, the rate has been increased from 28 cents a box to 35 cents a box. The rate in the Payne-Aldrich bill was 70 cents a box. The House in the Underwood bill cut this to 28 cents a box or one-half cent a pound. The House, however, did not ‘intend to make the cut below 35 cents, but owing to their unfamiliarity with the subject made a slight error in phraseology resulting in placing it at 28 cents. As the result of a conference ana agreement reached between Rep- resentative Underwood, Chairman Simmons and Senators Fletcher and Bryan the rate was altered in the Senate caucus. * This is the only alteration made to the fruit shedule with the excep- tion of the duty of five cents a bunch placed on bananas by the Senate caucus.
