CALLS TARIFF BILL
KEARTOEMBARGO
Senator Simmons Says U. S.
Valuation Plan Will Protect
High Prices.
American valuation provisions or i
the Fordney tariff bill were characterized
by Senator Simmons, democrat,
North Carolina, today as only a step
from an embargo. During Senate
finance committee discussions Mr.
Simmons told his committee colleagues

would serve as an embargo to let
American manufacturers maintain
high prices
The hearing was scheduled to be the
last before the committee decide*
whether the American valuation provisions
will be retained in the Senate

testimony earlier in the day
that German dolls were sold here for
911.50 a dozen, while the home-made
oy was priced at $30, and, turning
to republican members of the committee,
demanded to know whether
It was the plan to make up such
differences by the American valuation
and high rates. He received no
answer.
Most American manufacturers of
toy trains have closed their plants,
recording to W. O. Coleman, a Chicago
manufacturer, who said German
trains were being sold at $2 to $4 a
cozen below American prices.
