WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE ways and
means committee this morning gave brief
nearing to the spirit vinegar men, whossub-
roitted the draft of modification of the
existing law approved by the commissioner
of internal revenue, which imposes light
tax on the spirits used in vinegar making
with a view to guarding against Illicit dis
filling. The committee has as yet taken no
action in the matter.
Heavy pressure is being brought to bear
upon the committee by individual manu-
facturers to secure notifications of the
schedules in the bill
The hosiery manufacturers, through Rep
resentative Harmon, are trying to have
some changes made in the language of the
hosiery sections.
The Massachusetts, granite people are
seeking an additional degree of protection,
and the kid glove importers and lead ore
refining interests are still working to secure
relief.
THE SUGAR MEN
But perhaps the greatest pressure is being
brought to bear by the conflicting sugar
interests. Representative McKenna has
tion looking to cut of SO per cent. in the
sugar duties and restoring the divid-
ing line from No. 16 to No.
l3 Dutch standard. The California
sugar men will accept this heavy cut rather
than have the bounty plan adopted, and re-
cruits are expected from the southern states.
Meanwhile some Of the western representa-
tives are preparing to lead crusade in
favor of free sugar; so that the ways and
means committee may have to face another
revolt next week.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House this morning conference
was ordered ON the Senate antitrust bill
The House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio in
the chair, on the'tariff bill. Mr.. Mckinley
of Ohio asked that the committee should
proceed as promptly as possible to act upon
the amendment offered by the committee
on WAYS and means, in order that other gen.
tlemen who had substantial amendments to
offer might be recognized
Mr.. McMillin submitted that the manner
in which this bill was being considered was
neither just to the House nor the taxpayers
of the country. 1t was utterly impossible
to consider and debate the bill carefully in
the few days allowed by the rigorous rule
reported by the committee on rules.
MIR. Cannon of Illinois thought that the
chairman OF the committee on ways and
means should be recognized Co offer COM
mittee amendments, that these amendments
should be acted upon promptly, and that
then gentlemen not members OF the COM
mittee should be given an opportunity to
present their views in the shape Of amend
ments.
