P VEST MSEHLS THE COL THUST Seeks to Make Partisan Issue of the Fuel Famine. Missouri Senator Makes a Bitter Attack Upon the Dingley Tariff. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The day in the Senate was eventful because of an attack by Senator Vest on protected indus- tries through the operation of the Dingley law. Senator Vest used as a text for his remarks his resolution, introduced vesterday, instructing the Committee on Finance to prepare and report a bill re- moving the duty on coal. Feeble in the extreme and supporting himself on his desk, lie called attention to the condition of distress which had arisen as a result of the shortage in the coal supply. There was breathless silence in the chamber as | he spoke, and every Senator on the floor turned in his direction in order to catch his words, , He said that the question wasno longer pariisan, but one of humanity, and that we were not on the verge of a crisis, but actually in it. He charged the Republi- | can Senators with being silent and dumb to the state of affairs ving only in mind the party cry, “Stand pa He characterized the Dingley tariff as a ed elephant with which nothing | wa to be done.” He sarcastically marked that if the whole question. was sing money for the next Presidential ampaign, that was the end of the dis- cassion. The ~ Senator ffom Massachusetts | (Lodge), he declared, had endeavored to administer a homeopathic dose in the | shape of a suspension of the duty on conl for pinety “days, but if medicine were needed at all it was in large doses. By referring the resolution to-the committee, he said, it would have no chance to pass. “Don’t we know,” he said, “‘that whea we send the resolution to the Finance Committee we send It to its execution He then sdid that all he wanted w for every Senator to put himself on rec- \ldrich took exception to some of Vest's | stateménts and at his request the reso- | lution went over until to-morrow, when | Aldrich will make reply.
