Republicans f the Senate leaped eagerly Into their ItBht apalnst the t'nderwood tariff bill when it was brought over from the House today and precipitated an Issue by attempting to override the decision of the Democrat to consider the meas ure without public hearings. Forerunning the assault that the Re publicans propose to wage against the schedules from aetata to sine. Senator Penrose sought to have the bill re ferred to the finance committee -with ' Instructions for open hearings after Senator Simmons, chairman of the com mittee, had moved for reference with out Instructions. Action on this phase was pending when the. Senate ad journed until Tuesday. everal Repub lican leaders having-' predicted that they would win thir contention and that public hearWfta would be forced over the heads 0f the finance commit tee. Democratic leaders, however, dis pute the prthdictlon. ?mltkFreeat Dark Daya. Speakfrig of the Penrose amendment, Brnatosmith. of Michigan, in a vigor- out rpeal for consideration of the bill ill the open instead of "in the dark nes' and gloom" of the commlttee rojm. assailed the tariff bill. He de clared that It would result In a re petition of "dark days" that followed the Wilson bill: that the sugar lndua trv would be ruined; that other Indus tries would suffer and that alrewly business was falling, off rapidly throughout the country. Charging that free sugar In three Tears would give the American Sugar Refining Company and the Federal Sugar Refining Company an option which they would foreclose on the property of the beet sugar interests, their only domestic rivals. Senator Smith declared that the beet sugar In dustry, in which 15.000 persons in Michigan alone""were Interested, would be wiped out. Sagar Alllaare Iatlmated. "If the American Sugar Refining Com fany and the Federal Sugar Refining Companv," said Senator imlth, "have made an alliance with the Democratia party It Is an unholy alliance. Men v ho have ritt shirked In committing crimes to Increase the volume of their business and who are now responding to the will ef the law, make poor al lies for any political party." The debate warmed up immediately. Senator Thomas read an article from a Troy. X. Y.. newspaper, in which an employe of a shirt company declared that concern had threatened to reduce wages and in other ways had attempt ed to coerce its workers to use their Influence against the Underwood bill. "Speaking for myself." said Senator Thomas, "I want to say here and now t!iat tactics of this sort will produce any but desired results. I believe that an Industry which resorts to this line of conduct In order that its employes may be coerced ahould meet the result of having placed on the free list every article that enters into Its line of busi ness. Employer Rights Defeaded. -I think It little less than brazen effrontery." said Senator Smith, ans wering Mr. Thomas, "for the Senator from Colorado to make these state ments and to say that manufacturers shall not be allowed to complain about the burdens put upon them by this bill. If you think by your threats you can force silence on the part of the em ployers of labor, you are making a mistake." While Senator Smith kept the floor. Senators Reed. James, Smoot. Works, Thomas and Hitchcock entered into an argument that turned away from sugar to the manufacture of furniture and then back again to sugar. Senator James said he would prefer to have the sugar "monopoly" bought hy money from the Treasury of the I'nited States than to give It permis sion to continue "to rob the people." Senator Thomas got Into an argu ment again by declaring that Assyrians. Japanese. Chinese and Mexican peons and other foreigners were employed In the Western beet fields and that the usual wage paid was about 20 cents a day. Senator Smoot denied this. Senator Hitchcock wanted to know whv the furniture manufacturers of Michigan were afraid of the proposed tariff on their products and Senator Smith replied that they feared com petition with furniture built In Europe with cheaper labor.
