STEERING COMMITTEE
“ HURRIES TARIFF WORK
Possibility of Long Delay is
Probably Overcome
Washington, D. C., June 13.—Tlie
democratic steering committee of the
senate was called into action late yes
terday to clear the way in that body
for the tariff revision bill. As a result
of the meeting and of reports receive 1
from the finance committee, members
of the steering committee said last
night they believed the tariff bill would
get back into the senate before the
end of the week. Senator Kern called
the party leaders together and it w is
determined to attempt to secure an
agreement between the senate and the
house on the sundry civil bill now in
dispute to end Senator Jones’ single
handed filibuster, which has delayed
business over a week, and to remove
all other obstacles to early action on
the tariff.
The steering committee was inform
ed by Senator Thomas, who is also s
member of the finance committee, that
the tariff bill could be completed and
returned to the senate next week. Sev
eral other members of the finance com
mittee, however, expressed doubt last
night as to the probability of this be
ing accomplished.
Recommendations were made early
in the day by several democrats prom
inently identified with the administra
tion forces that the senate caucus be
deferred until Senators Swanson,
Shields and Martine had returned from
their work with investigating commit
tees in West Virginia.
The narrow margin by which the
administration forces control the sen
ate in support of the president's wool
and sugar program makes it necessary
to have all democrats present at the
caucus, and it is possible that the dem
ocratic members will be called from
West Virginia to participate in the
caucus. It is proposed that the cau
cus shall be a binding one, pledging
every senator to vote for the hill as
approved.
Two Schedules Approved.
Free sugar in three years and free
wool, the most troublesome schedules
of the tariff confronting the party, ad
vanced another stage yesterday when
the democratic members of the finance
committee approved them as they pass
ed the house. These schedules are now
up to the democratic caucus. That is
another reason why the caucus will
not be called until all the democrats
are present, because the caucus vote
on sugar and wool will end ail con
troversy as to whether President Wil
son’s tariff policy is to receive the
party support.
The party leaders anticipate that no
more than three senators will refuse
to support the schedule and the
bill can be passed with the vote of the
vice president. John Sharp Williams,
chairman of the sub-committee in
charge of the administrative features
of the Underwood bill, startled them
vesterday when he proposed a com
mission to study the entire question o p
administration and that meanwhile the
administrative provisions of the pres
ent Payne-Aldrich law be permitted to
stand in the new democratic bill.
The suggestion did not meet with ap
proval of the committee members and
Senator Williams and his colleagues
on the sub-committee, Senators Shive
ly and Gore, were instructed to con
tinue their work of revising the ad
ministrative provisions of the Un
derwood bill.
Sub-Committee Has Trouble.
The sub-committee has encountered
difficulties with the provision in the
Underwood bill requiring foreign min
isters to submit their books in cases of
disputed valuations and the provisions
designed by the ways and means com
mittee to prevent undervaluation. The
committee also has had trouble in
endeavoring to modify the proposed
amendment which would give the sec
retary of the treasury authority to pro
claim general import values.
After many weeks of studying these
questions. Senator Williams bad con
cluded it would be wise to turn over
(the whole tariff administrative section
to a committee consisting of three sen-
AMERICDS daily times-recorder.

Washington, D. C., June 13.—Repub
lican leaders in the senate, are work
ing hard in preparation for their fight
against the democratic tariff bill. Sen
ator Penrose is to lead the opposition
on the floor after the bill is reported.
Senator Smith of Michigan, is prepar
ing to lead the fight against the sugar
schedule, and Senator Smoot will
command the anti-free wool debate.
Senator La Follette, who has am
endments which amount practically to
a new bill, plans to make a speech
that will extend over a week.
Majority members of the finance com
mittee continued today their consider
ation of the sub-committee changes in
the Underwood bill, resuming discus
sion of the metal schedule. It was
reported today that the sub-committee,
in addition to putting pig iron and fer •
io manganese on the free list, had also
transferred steel ingots and bullets to
the free list, because the house had
put steel rails in the unduitable class.
Changes in the Underwood tariff
bill by the senate finance sub-commit
tee, transferring proposed duitable ar
ticles to the free list, will aggregate an
estimated annual loss in revenue to
the government of nearly a million
and a half dollars a year.
Today the majority members of the
finance committee oposed publication
at this time of detailed changes in the
Underwood bill approved by them on
sub-committee recommendation.
