Tariff Bill Would Send Prices Upward, Thomas Tells Senate Washington, Jan. S. (U. P.) The Fordney emergency tariff was put un4 der fire today by Senator Thomas, Colo rado, during the senate finance commit tee's hearings on the measure. Thomas is one of the Democrats opposing the bill on the ground that the high duties it imposes oh farm products will raise prices to the consumer. K. D. Loos, representing California lemon growers, urged a higher tariff on lemons, says growers lose 21 cents a box at present prices. Competition with Italian lemons Is keen in the Kast, Loos said. i i :i : "Tou want this tariff . so California lemons will have -a monopoly over the entire country, as you now have in the West?" Thomas asked. Loos replied the growers wanted it so they can sell for somewhere near COSU ; - ' Thomas replied the consumer ehould be given some consideration. ! "Every interest coming here for re Uef seems to want its burden shifted to the people, but I think that no emer gency tariff can reach the crux of the Situation,: which is the collapse of all markets because the public will not and cannot buy at high prices."
