Fierce Battle Reported; 30

This Area
Br .The Associated Press
Real war teem to have started
alone the Kanehurian border be
tween the Chinese province of Kir
In and the Siberian martlme prov
ince la the sector where. Russian
and Chinese forces for a month
bare been strengthening their po
sitions. " .
The strategic railway center of
Fogranlchnaya. eastern terminal
of the Chinese eastern railway, has
been the scene of fleree fighting
for the last three days. 'It has
changed bands twice In the hear-
lest fighting yet to occur, since the
beginning of the Manchurian dis
pute two months ago.
Dispatches from various points
In the far East Harbin. Mukden,
Shanghai and Tokyo, indicate the
seriousness of the fighting, artil
lery and airplanes were used by
the Russians however there lias
been no report of any large num
ber of casualties, which may in
dlcate exaggeration of the gravity
of ihe situation.
For six weeks Russian troops
have been moving into the Ussurl
district.' "Reports have said there
were 10,000 Soviet soldiers be
tween Vladivostok and Khabar-
- ovsk. -: . '
Chinese Troops Horry North
Shanghai reported Chinese re
inforcements hurrying northward
where fighting is supposed to be
progressing aloflg "the entire
Manchurian Siberian iron tier."
This would mean along a 2.000
mile stretch of primitive country
and the report is probably highly
speculative.
The Inception of the trouble
seems to have been the blowing
up of a Chinese eastern railway
passenger train Saturday after the
trades had been mined with high
' explosives. Three thousand Rus
sian troops are supposed to have
crossed into Chinese territory for
raiding purposes. Apparently they
were driven back and the Chi
nese still hold their positions.
Flarcnp at Bad Time
' The new flareup in Manchuria
comes at a time when It seemed
likely that diplomatic negotiations
would result In an amicable set
tlement of the dispute which arose
when Chinese provincial authori
ties seised the administration of
the Chinese eastern railway; and
onsted Russian staff members.

forced before the tariff minded
senate for determination today by
senator Norrls, republican, Ne
braska, with a resolution to bar
the Pennsylvanian republican.
uirered just as the debate on
the tariff bill was opened, the res
olution was promised precedence
over the tariff, to which the Ne
braska senator is vigorously op
posed. The surprised republican
leadership forestalled debate on
Norrls' resolution for a day but
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, the
democratic leader, announced
later he thoaght the Tare ease
should be settled now.
It seemed certain tonight that
the Issue would side-track indef
initely tho republican tariff
measure beginning tomorrow or
Wednesday.
Senator Watson, the republican
leader, foreed a day's delay by in
voking the senate rule that all res
olutions must lie over for a day.
Norrls gave notice he would call
it up tomorrow and Vice-President
Curtis ruled the resolution was
privileged. The Nebraskan had
conferred with the special com
mittee which conducted the In

First Test is Deferred;
Summons Resolve Asks
Report Change
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. (AP)
The senate finally got to work
oa the tariff issue today, but the
first test ot strength ot the con
tending groups was deferred after
several hours, discussion of the
Simmons resolution seeking in
come changes in import levies.
Indications at the close were
that the democrats were not ready
for a vote, but hoped greater
strength could be mustered for the
tax publicity proposal tomorrow
resumption ot debate.
When the senate will begin dls
eusslon of the bill Itself was prob
lematical in view of the attempt
started at the outset ot proceed
ings by Senator Norrls, republi
can, Nebraska, to obtain disposi
tion ox the long-pending Vare
case. His resolution bearing on
the senatorial seat contest has
privileged statas and early action
on It can be, demanded.
AU Leaders la Debate .
The day's debate saw all ot the
tariff leaders ot both parties par
ticipating with Senator Simmons
of North Carolina, ranking demo
crat ot the finance committee and
author ot the tax data proposal.
and Senator Moot, republican,
Utah, chairman of the committee,
making the principal arguments
tor and against the resolution.
Simmons said his sole purpose
was to ascertain Information that
may bo helpful to the senate In
determining whether Industries ot
the countries are entitled to the
Increase tariff protection they de
manded. It It were shown that
Industry were making large prof
its under existing law, he said,
they were not entitled to in
creased duties.
- Smoot Charges Delay
Smoot charged the resolution
an attempt "through the conse
quent delay to bring about ulti
mate defeat ot the tariff bill.
The price to be paid Is cer
tain," he said. "The consequenc
es are certain. The establishment
of the principle of income tax pub
licity; the opportunity to attempt
to harass a few Individual tax
payers; prolonged and indefinite
delay In the consideration of the
bill, these are the real Issues pre
sented by the resolution."
A rote tor the resolution, he
added, would be an endorsement
of all ot "these propositions," and
with each senator appreciating
this be was willing to hasten a
vote upon it.
He contended the information

be publications covering some
larger Industries but there were
none containing tho "general"
data sought by his resolution,
which calls for profits and losses
of corporations whose products
would benefit under the hill.
Senator Blaine, republican,
Wisconsin, offered an amendment
to Include in the information
sought 'data showing gross sales,
annual inventories, merchandise
bought, cost of manufacturing,
salaries and wages, compensation

vote on this will be taken before
