cerning tariff adjustment, I have the honor to submit the accom-

       INDUSTRIES   REQUESTING TARIFF INVESTIGATIONS

  On  May   12, 1924, the Senate of the United States passed the
following resolution (S. Res. 221):
  Whereas the Tariff Commission is being called upon to determine the applica-
tions of many industries for a study of economic conditions, particularly as
affected by tariff laws, relating to these industries, and
  Whereas the commission has found it impossible to make a proper investiga-
tion of conditions affecting some of the industries because of a lack of appro-
priated funds necessitating even a reduction of its clerical force and tariff ex-
perts; Therefore be it
  Resolved, That the Tariff Commission inform the Senate of (1) the number
  of industries which have made bona fide requests for tariff investigations, (2)
  the number of such requests upon which the commission has been unable to
act, and (3) what if any sum of money should be appropriated by Congress in
order to meet the legitimate requests of the business interests of the country
for trade information, and obtain necessary data concerning tariff adjustment.
