considered by the Republican leaders.
The Ways and Means Committee has
been busy in hearing the arguments OF |
members who offered amendments to
the tariff bill in the caucus Wednes-
day night Mr. Rayner, OF Mary
land, was heard in behalf Of his amend
mCnt to retain the existing rate OF duty
on glass. Nessrs. Johnston and Sim
mons OF North Carolina, spoke in favor
o,,,a al .mr releis VI sne lnlerhaI revenue sl
thcbill affecting local industries i in their
State. Mr.. Bacon, ofNew York, thought
the reduction made in the tariff on
cutlery was entirely too great, and
asked for the restoration OF at least
part it,
In talking with the corrcspon-
dent to-day, Mr.. Mills said: ave are
considering these amendments in
spirit OF compromise, and we are dis.
posed to make the changes asked for in
those cases where We are convinced that
the weight Of evidence tends that way.
We appreciate the fact that We are not
infalli6lc in that we may have made
mistakes. When these are pointed out
to us We are willing to amend them"
No final action has been taken on any
Of the amendments that have thus far
been considered. This will be postponed
until all the hearings have been con-
Cluded. Then the committee will make
its report and present it to the caucus.
1t is expected that this will be held on
either Wednesday or Thursday night.
