The committee on rules took up the matter of revision of the rules of the state committee 5o as to give women equal standing.

TARIFF CONFERENCE REPORT PRESENTED TO THE HOUSE Washington, Sept. 12—(By the A. P.)—’f““l‘dminfl'glhon taritf bill in the form in which it will become a law, probably before October 1, was made public today with the presenta- tion of the conference report to the house. Many of the rates proposed by the senate were reduced by the re- publican conferees, but the experts estimated that the level of its duties was only slightly below ths lever of those in the famous Payne-Aldrich act, the last republican protective tar- ift. 3 Basing their calculations on the present volume of import trade, treas- ury experts figured that the bill would yield an annual governmental revenue of $400,000,000. This would be $44,- 000,000 more then was received dur- ing the last fiSodt vear through the combined operation of the democratie- Underwood law and the republican em- ergency tariff act, both:of which will be_supplanted by this. bill immediate- 1y after it is signed by the president. Final action on the measurs by the house tomorrow was the plan of leaders under an agresment made to- day for enly ‘four hours of general the | debate with a vote to follow immedi- ately. The bill then will go to the sen- ate where debate of a week or more is expected to precede thé final vote.

The senate provision that the. flex- ible tariff should remain in opera- tion only until July 1, 1924, 'was stric- ken out of the bill, and the so-called sclentific tariff provision, providiag for investigations and reports by the tariff commission, sa well as those designed - to prevent discrimination against American commerce and trade where retained.
