The republican eonferees on the tariff bill
were in session again this morning two hours

said there was no further progress to report.
The principal items of difference are those
that have been obstacles IN the way Of agree

whole situation is the sugar schedule. We're
an agreement reached on that. less than five
minutes would be required to settle

however, by the House conferees that
an agreement will be reached before II o'clock

feeling that the situation is not quite SO favor

reached il will require at least day for the
