Loaded Down With Amendments, Sufficient, to Keep It From Keitcliing it Vote This Ses sion Simmons Will Offer Amend meats Putting; Mill Machinery on The Free List Other Amendments To He Offered. Washington, August IX. All hope of passing the cotton tariff bill at : this Besslon of congress has been abandoned by those favoring the measure. When the bill Is taken up in the senate 11 will be loaded down with amendments sufficient in num ber to defeat a vote during tiie pres ent session. Senator Simmons will offer amend ments putting mill machinery on the free list. It is believed that if such a radical measure as the proposed Underwood bill is to become a law the mill men should be compensated to t iie extent of having their mill ma chlnery tree of taxation. Senator Dristow will offer an amendment pro. vidlng for the taking up of the sugar schedule and Senator Cummins will offer another providing for the re vision of the iron, steel, rubber and lead schedule. Each of these gentle men will want at least three days to discuss their amendments and by the time the debate is over congress will have adjourned and the cotton bill will be pigeon-holed until next December, when the regular session of the Sixty-Second- Congress con venes. ' It is understood that both Senators : Simmons and Overman are against the Underwood bill. ; They believe that the mill men should have been given ample opportunity to be heard before the measure was reported to the senate, and in view of the fact that the bill calls for a radical re duction In colon tariff, mill machin ery should be reduced also. Millions of dollars is invested in the milling Industry of North Carolina. These millions belong to thousands of peOr pie of moderate means ;th mills are not controlled by a trust, men and women who have a few thousands have invested to a large extent in cot ton mills In the State, and if the proposed law goes into effect some thing Is going to drop.
