STUDYING TARIFF BILL
Wilson Has This
Careful Consideration for
Several
Committee Meets.
WASHINGTON, April
Wilson and Representative Underwood
were In conference for hours
the White tonight for the
i ii over features of the pro-
posed tariff revision. The confer-
was asked for by President
con, who had been studying the new
tariff bill for several days and
himself with many questions
which controversy have been
raised in the preparation of the Dem-
revision measure.
Other conference which to fol-
low with Mr. Underwood and Sen-
chairman of the finance
committee, will the of
the sugar, wool and agricultural
schedules, so far as the party leaders
can settle them, and will decide then
whether one general bill or
schedule bills shall be passed by the
house.
Tho opponents of free sugar, chiefly
representing tho cane growing sec-
of the south, have made strong
representations to the President
the last week, tho removal
of the duty from that product, and the
president has been weighing the
upon this and other tariff
questions.
Since his first conference with Mr.
President Wilson has gone
over the tariff bill in Immediate de-
tail with Secretary of the
department of commerce, for
tariff views he has high regard. It
was not thought that any detailed
rates would be under consideration at
tonight's conference, but that the
general questions as to the free ad-
mission of raw materials and the ex-
tent to which the duly should be re-
moved from agricultural products
articles largely consumed by tho pub-
were fully.
Efforts to bring the senate and the
house In accord before the details of
the new tariff bill becomes public are
to be made late this week. Senator
Simmons will ask
In tho Senate finance committee
meet Friday for the preliminary con
of the tariff. Al that time
it is thought that a copy the bill
prepared by the house ways and means
committee will be submitted to the
senators considered In
detail.
Should the senate committee deter-
mine that certain features of the bill
will not be acceptable in the senate,
efforts will be made to have the draft
of the bill changed by the house com-
or by the Democratic member-
ship of the house when It meets In
next week, so that house and
senate may be brought a complete
accord as possible In support of the
house hill.
