TREK TAR BILL LIFTS SUGAR PRICE IN MANY SECTIONS _—.s--s While Measure Seems Doonied * to Defeat, Its Evil Effects Are Already Apparent. » FEAR IS , WIDESPREAD. New Englanders “Say That Wool Schedules Would Close Every Mill There. (Special from a stat } Galveapendent t of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Fob. 21.—There 1s Uttle prospect of the Fordney “Bmer- rency” Tariff Bilt becoming a law, but its evil effects are already apparent im many sections of the country. Ad- vances in the price of sugar of 2 to 8 cents a pound are already reported ‘m some States, and the housewives are being informed that it will 60 owen higher, although New York mar- *, ket reports quote sugar as unchanged. If the mere possibility of the Ford- ney bill becoming law has advanced the price of sugar several cents -a) J pound, ome idea of tuc amount of profiteering that would folluw its en- actment may be bad, As raw sugar has not advanced, it is apparent that the producers are not the beneficiaries of the boost in prices in the variotis sections of the country. PROVES EFFORT TO AID SUGAR PROFITEERS. ‘The Evening World's ‘forecast at| jl the time the Gay sugar amendment was attached to the bill in the Senate of a purpose to tax the American mugar consumers approximately $366,- 000,000 in the next ten months for the benefit of’ speculators and sugar hoarders is amply borne out by the developments. ‘The expose of the deliberate pur- pose to increase the cost of living by legislation has had its effect, and as a fesult the Répybiican majority is »hopeleasly split in the House over.the bill, The effort to expedite the joint conference on the bill by bringing in a special rule and railroading it through the House, succeeded Satur- day afternoon, but the test vote by which this was done, 190 to 132, \ owed that the ‘backers of the bill have not the votes to pass it in the House over the President's veto, A large: number of members, both Republicans and Democrats, who voted for the Fordney bill when it passed the House several weeks ago, reversed themselves and refused to line up with the friends of the bill when the effort was, made to rush it to conference without giving the House Ways and Means Committee an opportunity to examine the amendments inserted by the Senate. The struggle over:the measure has brought a sharp cleavage between Ube representatives from the mapu- facturing sections, many of whom do not want a practical embargo on yaw materials, and the men from the agricultural ,States -who are strug- gling under the delusion that tt will be easier to vote for the bill than’to explain to their farmer constituents that it really contains no measure of relief for them. SAYS WOOL SCHEDULE WOULD CLOSE NEW ENGLAND MILLS, The New England Republican dele- gation led the onslaught on the rule to send the bili to conference without further committee reference. The | statement was made by Representa- | tive Treadway (Rep, Mase.) that the enactment of the wool schedule con- tained in the emergency bill would close every woollen mill in New Iong- presented to the house than tho one which in this peticd of distresr from one end of the land to the other, con- timplayes an increase in the cost of bread.” Representative nounced the bill as “withor purpose,” and said the only result would be) to raise the cost of living without bringing any revenue into the treasury Representative Pajve (Rep, Mags.) manfufactyrer, saying: of the Ford: that this is de- ‘Treadway enacted by any legislative read -a {etter from a Massuchtsette | “Wo have received from you a copy bill, Tecan simply say most astounding piece of legisintion that T have ever secon 119-125 West 241h St., Near 6th Avenue, New York land, P Repreventattve Luce (Rep.
