It now awaits the approval of Pres ident Hoover, who is confidently s pccted to sign it within a.tew days. The new law will become effective ?.t midnight following its signature by the President. Legislative action on the measure was completed late today when the House adopted the final form of the conference report. The vote was 222 to 123. The Senate finally approved thf measure yesterday by the two-vote margin of 44 to 42. The House margin of 69 votes was somewhat short of what the Repub lican leaders had expected. Mrs. Ruth Pratt, Republican, New York, sur prised them by voting against the bill. Upon announcing the vote. Speaker Lcngworth affixed his signature to the measure and arranged to send it t'i the Senate, so Vice-President Cur tis may sign it and have it enrolled Monday. The performance was accompained by enthuhlastic cheers and yells from the Republican side of the chamber, while the Democrats sat silent. Vote For It Many farm block leaders, including Chairman Haugen, of the agriculture committee and co-author of the de feated McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, voted for the tariff. Twenty-one Republicans bolted the party leaders and voted against the bill. Fourteen Democrats, mostly from Florida and Loulsana, who left their party-leadership and supported the measure, included; Aswell, Louisiana; Drane, Florida; Green, Florida; Hudspeth, Texas; Kemp, Louisiana; Montet, Louisana; OConnor, Louisana; Spearing Louisi ana; Wilson, Louisiana. As soon as the massive document of 636 pages?longer than the average novel?is formally enrolled Monday, It will be forwarded to the President He is expected to sign it by the end of next week, though he has ten days in which to act. The bill is the highest tariff law ever proposed in the United States. Its sponsors say it will raise extjnr ing duties generally about stx "perf cent, while its opponents coQtphd the actual figure is nearer 20 per cent. In dollars, advocates of the meas ure deduce that it wlUVadd $107, 000,000 to the tariff duties and make the total around $630,000,000 on the basis of Imports in 1928. Democrats assert the cost of the measure will intimately be a J>llilon dollars when the increased cost of domestic pro ducts is considered. They call the measure " The Grundy billion dollar tariff bill." me central points or dispute m the bill were the increases granted on sugar, shoes, hides, lumber, ce ment and brick. The Cuban sifear duty is boosted ftom 1,76 cents a pound to 2 cents; shoes were taken from the free list and glren a duty of 20 per cent, the related hides duty being fixed at 1 per sent Lumber, cement and- brick also were removed from the free list and subjected to the following duties; cement, six cents per 100 pounds; brick, $1.25 per thousand; soft lum ber. $1 per 1,000 feet. The agricultural schedule carries the greatest percentage of increases. The measure was originally designed to benefit the farmer and little pro test was offered, except by Eastern Congressmen, to the enlargement of tariffs on farm products. Fins Schedules. Some of the most important sched ules affecting agriculture are: Butter, now 8 cents per pound, would be 14 cents; cattle, now 1 1-8 and 2 cents per pound, would be 2 1-2 and 8. cents; wool, now 81 cents, would be 84 cents; hides, now free, would be 10 per cent.
