IT SIS TIFF DEBUTE - - - - - - - - Ml 1 1 1 1GE BEDUCIIIS flUE CONSIDERED Bill is Kept Before Law makers Only by Penrose J Recess Call WASHINGTON. Jan. 27i The Fordney emergency tariff bill to day was discussed only in a rpeech by Senator Simmons, Dem ocrat, of North Carolina, and in a brief debate on sugar items. . Speeches were so far afield once that Senator McCumber, Kepubll ran of North Dakota, declared the tenators had discussed "every thing from, negroes to battle ships." . Tariff debate, however, was not without pointed argument. Sen ator Simmons speech was direc ted at what he termed the iniqui ties of the proposed legislation. He charged congress would be ex ceeding its power in enacting such legislation. He also took Senator. (McCumber to task for his attitude on wheat protection. He argued that Mr. McCumber was supporting legislation which not only would increase the price ot bread and cereals, but would place the United States in a po sition to suffer retaliation at the hands of Canada. - Denying the statements of Mr. McCumber that Canadian prices were Mower than those in the United States, Mr. Simmons quoted official statistics to show that prices had varied little be tween Minneapolis and . Winnl peg. : - i. . Senator King. Democrat of Utah, asked whether It would not be proper-for the government to "take care of the unemployed with a pension if it were going to take care of the wheat farmer and the Louisiana sugar grower." After further debate Senator Penrose followedyesterday's tac tics in atking a recess, keeping the bill before the senate. Pre vious to the recess Senator Spen cer, Republican, Missouri, Intro duced an amendment to afford protection of 2 cents a pound on sunflower seed and 20 cents a gallon on sunflower seed oil.

Tomorrow's meeting will be be hind closed doors. ! Failure of increased rates to earn the expected revenue, de creases in business, the present large payroll and high operating expenses were given as reasons for probable action before the raiiroaa labor board to cut wages. "Many railroads are in bad fi nancial condition," declared Sam uel O. Dunn. advlnrv rnunsel to the association of railway execu tives." This is due to a decline In business and failure of the rates to earn the revenue expetced. Railroads during September, Oc tober and November, when they did their heaviest business, failed to earn the large net returns ex pected. ' "The roads have made reduc tlons In their forces, made neces- sarr by the decline In bnsiness. They are operating as economi cally as possible and they find no way out except to reduce the pay roll. The 1917 payroll of f 1.700,- 000,000 is today Increased to 83 700,000,000 and as a result many roads are in bad financial condi tion. There has been a decline in business until the freight move ment is less than two-thirds of what it was three months ago." Germany May Return to Tyranny jot Old Monarch BERLIN. Dec. 8.
