POSTPONE MEETING ON FARM PROBLEM Congress Conferoes {0 Gather To- morrow—Houso Begins Late ‘Washington, May 2§ UP—The farm rolief conmference committee post- poned its acheduled meeting today until tomorrow . te permit house members of the committee to attend the republican tariff caucus. _The legislative machinery of both renate and house was tuned up io push the bills before them toward a vote, but the committees which rep- resent them in their disagreement over the farm relief were still dead- iocked on the export debenture ques- tion. The house was called to mect an hour later than usual—at 1 p. m.— 1o give the republican majority three hours to confer on a special rule to sovern the offering of amendments to the tarift bill. Republican lead- ers were confident that objections raised in their ranks to various schedules in the bill had been sat- isfled sufficiently to enable the ma- jority to get together on a rule, shut off general debate and take up the measure for amendment tomorrow. The special rule favored by some ®f the republican leaders would fix a time for & vote on the bill and limit the offering of amendments to members of the ways and means committee, The republican memkters of that committee met last night to give further consideration to ainend- ments desired by dissatisfied groups. Corferences by 2 number of the lat- ter indicated that they would be willing to abide by the decisions of the committeen.en and let their pro- posals reach the floor as committee amendments. Their opp4sition to re- ion on amendments prevented agreement on the ‘special rule last week. Agree On Sugar Duty Oife group comprising fitty mem- Wers from 17 states agreed yester- Jay to support the proposed increase n the duty on Cuban sugar to 2.40 centn a pound. Suggestions for usb- |S stitution of a sliding scale of rates. which have been described as having the support of President Hoover, were opposed by this group, and its spokesinan, Representative Cramton, republichn, Michigan, inlicated tuat it would oppuse opening of the sugar schedule to amendment on the IFloor. Considerable interest also attach- ed to the move to have the adminis- trative section of the bill kept open for general consideration of amend- ments, in view of the attack made on it yesterday by Representative Beck, republican, Pennsylvania, who was solicitor general in the Harding and Coolidge administrations. He charged that the proposed extension of presidential authority under the flexible provisions of the bill would transfer excessive taxing power to the executive and constitute an *‘nt- terly indefensible change in the character of our government.” Somate Due to Vote ‘The senate was under agrecment to limit debate on the census-reap- portionment bill after 3 p. m. today, making a vote before adjournment possible. The measure, which pro- vides for the 1930 census and com- pliance with the constitutional re- quirement for reapportionment of the house membership in accord- ance with each decennial cnumera- tion has been the “unfinished busi- ness” of the senate for some days but has aroused little discussion. The farm bill conferees, mean- while, continued optimistic though still at odds. The house group has insisted that the export debenture proposal be eliminated from the sen- ate bill before other differences be- tween that measure and the one passed by the house are discussed. The senate spokesmen. on the other hand. have urged that the house vote on the debenture plan, either directly as a farm bill conferences issue or indirectly as a tariff pro- posal, 80 that. if defeated, they could ask the senate to eliminate it from the bill without the danger ‘of an- other prolonged debate on the ques- tion. The senate elections sub-commit- tee which has had under considera- tion the contest of William B. Wil- son, former democratic secretary of labor, for the seat of William S. ‘Vare, republican, Pennsylvania, was called today to hear the final argu- ments. The senate has not yet ac- cepted Vare into its membership. The manufacturers’ committee @lso was called to take action on the proposal of Senator Wheeler, demo- crat, Montana, for an investigation of labor troubles in the textile in- dustry, and the interstate commerce committee to continue its hearing of the bill to set up a federal communi- cations commission.
