OO, Ww Good Clothes > enough etatitial Wouldn't you like to wear a pair of Oxfords that were really Wool Tariff up Friday. Washington, D. C., May 28—Atthe House end of the Capitol there willbe no general rally of Democrats until Friday, when the wool tariff comes before the full Democratic caucus. This is expected to be the first note of hard fighting that is to follow on the revision of the wool schedule. ~ The wool bill is practically ready for caucus, but until it comes before that body, its specific terms will not be made public. There is much free wool sentiment among the Democrats in the House ‘and the leaders are confident the rev- enue bill adopted by the Ways and Means Committe will be ratified by the caucus. The Congress situation, generally speaking, is of a House which has al- most completed the special program to which it limited itself, after Pres- ident Taft had called. the extra ses- sion to consider the Canadian reci- procity agreement and of a Senate that has not acted upon the first leg- islative bill of importance. The Senate Finance Committee has but afew more witnesses to appear on the reciprocity measure. Monday and Tuesday it is expected will wind up the hearings. The committee plans to go into executive session Wednesday. How long the commit- tee will deliberate no member has hazarded a guess. -, When it is ready to report,, many Senators have pre- dicted, it will submit the bill without recommendation as it did at the last session. The House leaders are plainly troubled over the doubtful situation — in the Senate. Speaker Champ Clark has declared, however, while he does not like the hot weather in Washing- ton, there must be a vote in the Sen- ate on Canadian reciprocity if Con- gress has to “‘sizzle’’ through butn- ing suns until ‘‘snow flies.” Asto the Senate’s action on the Farmers’ Free List bill, popular elec- tions of Senators, reappointment, Statehood for Arizona and New Mex- ico and wool tariff revision, the Dem- ocrats are believed not to be so in- sistent. There isan assurance now the popular election of Senators will be disposed of in the Senate June 10, the date fixed for a vote. The Democratic House leaders have made threats they would demand a vote on their tariff measures in the upper house; but it is declared on substantial authority, if the Senate in- dicates clearly it will not consider the tariff bills in the extra session, the House will not demand continuation of asweltering process to force action.
