G. 0. P, Senators Demand Time
to Attack Underwood Measure.
Charge Coercion.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—When
the Senate assembled to-day Chair
man Simmons, of the Finance Com
mittee, asked for unanimous consent
for a final vote on the tariff bill
August 25. Republican Leader Gal-
linger obpected. Senator Simmons
asked why.
“I refuse to be catechised,” said
Senator Galllnger.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
interrupted to say that never in the
history of the American Government
had there taken place a similar in
stance of legislation in secret as the
pending tariff bill.
‘For two months,” said the Sena
tor, “the Finance Committee and the
Democratic caucus had the bill in
charge and the country was kept in
the dark regarding it.”
Bacon Defends Caucus.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, defend
ed the Democratic caucus action on
the bill, and denied emphatically that
the President had coerced members of
the Senate or that the caucus had
exerted coercion.
‘Then the Senator is the victim of
a bunco game or he is an unsophisti
cated gentleman from the country,”
declared Senator Penrose.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
then said:
“I w’ould suggest that we recall th*>
chaplain so that we may properly give
thanks for the conversion of the
Senator from Pennsylvania. Of all
men to lecture us because of secret
action none could have done so with
less propriety than the Senator from
Pennsylvania.
Promises Democratic Bill.
‘‘To be rebuked in this manner by
the Senator is almost equal to the
devil rebuking sin. We are the ma
jority party and we are going to put
through a tariff bill) just as you w'ouH
do if you were in the majority.
“The Democrats are going to put I
through a Democratic tariff bill 39
far as possible, and we are acting as
a party and not as individuals. To
that extent we are coerced.”
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, said he
would never consent to a date for the
final vote upon this tariff bill.
Senator Gallinger said that the de
bate in the Senate on the tariff had
opened less than 30 days ago and now
it was proposed to close the deb*'e in
eleven more days. He pointed out
that the debate on the Payne-Aldrich
law lasted 80 days.
