I
Consideration — Democrats
Charged With “Hedging.”
WASHINGTON, lir. 6 Kepubll-
(‘ans formally gave their adherence
to-day to a program in the Senatt
that contemplates thirteen hours of
daily consideration of the pending

Republicans finally permited the cau
cus program to come to a vote.
The program was agreed to by a j
;ute of 41 to IS, Senators Gronna,
Kenyon, Smooth, LaFollette, Per
kins. Norris. Brady and Borah sup
porting Senator Kerri's resolution.
Among these are Senators who have
bitterly denounced the Democratic
plan of attempting to jam the bill
through without full consideration.
It is now believed by Republicans,
as well as Democrats, that the cur
rency hill will pass through all tlie
parliamentary stages and reach the
President by Saturday, January 20.
If that is done the President will be
urged by influential Democrats to
agree to a recess over the holidays
that will stop the legislative mill
until well on toward the middle of
J a mi ary.
To-day’s resolution, however, was
not agreed to without it, final protest

who has been absent from the city

Democrats were attempting to cover
up the failure of the tariff law to
bring about better conditions and a
lower cost of living.
