There was some doubt, however, as to the attitude of the leaders of the Democratic-Republican i n d e pendent coalition which has a majority on the tariff measure. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, the Democratic spokes- man in the tariff struggle, announced yesterday he would insist upon going ahead immediately with the tarifl and getting it out of the way. Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee will propose today that the Sen- | ate take up the House bill ratifying the French war debt settlement. The Sen- ate never has considered this debt set- tlement pending the ratification of it by France, which came last Summer. Signs of Outbreak Seen. While Senator Smoot thinks little time will be required for disposition of the French debt agreement, providing for the funding of more than $4,000,- 000,000, there have been some signs of an outbreak against it by those who regard the Mellon-Berenger agreement | as_too lenient. Unless Congress acts bcfore the Christmas recess, to be started next Sat- urday, the Federal Radio Commission will go out of existence except as a judicial body. The bill of Senator Dill, Democrat, of Washington, to extend the Iife of the commission indefinitely now is before the Senate and Senator Wat- | son of Indiana, the Republican leader, intends to seck its passage during the week. In his message to Congress President Hoover recommended a per- manent radio commission. Grundy Ouster to Be Taken Up. Today also the Senate elections com- | mittee will take up the resolution of Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, to deny Senator Grundy of Pennsyl- vania the right to retain his seat be- cause of his participation in the Re- publican primary of Pennsylvania in | 1926. Chairman Shortridge of the commit- | tee has indicated he favors an early report of this resolution to the Senate. Likewise, he has indicated his belief that no contest lies against Grundy as the appointee of Gov. Fisher of Penn- sylvania to fill the vacant seat of Wil- liam S. Vare. A report on the Grundy case would be highly privileged and could be forced before the Senate at any time, Judge Kenneth McIntosh, a member, ' Spanish War Veterans of Washington ' a galvanometer. J.

CHICAGO & NORTH WESTERN N The Senate is still far from a decision | on the tariff and is midway in the| debate on the wool schedule. On this | schedule, for the first time, the coali- tion forces of Democrats and Repub- lican independents have broken, and consistently higher duties have been | written into the bill. Simmons Wants Action. “Consideration of the tariff bill,” said Senator Simmons yesterday in a state- | ment issued through the Democratic | national committee, “will be carried | forward uninterruptedly, with the ex- pectation of its completion within the | month of January. Nothing should and, so far as I know, nothing will be permitted from this time on to impede its progress. “It was proper that consideration of the tariff should have been suspended temporarily to permit the Senate to act on the tax-reduction bill. This was a matter of immediate paramount impor- | tance, and the action of Congress should have a stimulating effect at a psychological time. “Althot\h the so-called _coalition | Senators were not in agreement on the woolen schedule, it is entirely safe to say that their co-operation throughout che rest of the tariff bill will be as harmonious as it was before they di- | vided on that schedule.” PEOPLE’S LOBBY HITS | {INCOME TAX CUT MOVE | | Democrats Are Scored by Group for | “Capitulation to This Knavery.” By the Associated Press. Characterizing the income tax re- duction as “a bribe to the multi- millionaires of the Nation not to pull |a panic,” the People’s Lobby said in a | statement yesterday that the capitula- | tion of the Democrats “to this knavery | removes the last pretenses of that party to progressivism, however much diluted.” “It_was perfectly consistent for the new Senator from Pennsylvania to cast his first vote to lay aside the tann in order to make a refund of large campaign contributions before giving the honors further powers to rob the American people by increased tariffs,” the statement said. “That pseudo pro- gressives in the Republican party fol- lowed his lead only convicts them. “The betrayal of the American peo- ple by the Democratic party—witn | three notable exceptions—is a blessing since it has come early. It ends ail possibility that the Democratic party will ever again successfully attempt vo masquerade as the party of the com- mon people.” In reducing the taxes on “multimil- lionaires,” the statement said, Congress left “over one billion dollars of con- sumption taxes to break the backs of the underpaid, overworked and unem- ployed masses of the Nation.” | REPRESENTATIVE HALL SPEAKER AT “Y” FORUM Star-Universal Newsreel to Be Shown With Lecture of Member of House District Committee.
