WASHINGTON, Dec. Is The WAYS and
means committee this afternoon finished
their consideration of the Wilson tariff
bill. On motion of Mcmillan il was
ordered to be sent TO the House osxt
Tuesday wi b favorable recommends
ton. Chairman Wilson hopes 10 have
his report ready by that time
The minority report is fairly outlined,
and, although the Republicans have
asked further extension of time in
which to prepare their report, it ia ex-
pec.ed that they, too. will be ready by
that date. The tax on cigarettes will be
Increased to 81. so per thousand
The subcommittee on internal
revenue will hold an all day session
to morrow, and hope to be able 20 re-
port their conclusions regarding pn in
creased tax on playing cards AMI the
full scope OF the proposed income tax.
1t IS not expected that these schedules
will be finished by next Tuesday They
will probably be reported to tho House
a little later in the week.
The pressure on the Democratic NOM
bers OF the ways and means committee
to modify the rates Of the existing bill
is unprecedented in the history OF tariff
Legislation Of late years. Not only are the
with tho representatives of interests
seeking an audience with the commit
toe, but the members eff Congress I'LL
the committee rooms whenever admls-
sion is permitted to present the wishes
OF their constituents, who either can
not come or recognize the futility OF do
ing SO.
Congressman Bourke Cochran. of
New York, succeeded to day in securing
an audience with Chairman Wilson for
John Sloan, Of New York, who was ac-
companied by James f. Hope and John
&. Davis, Of PHILADELPHIA. The three
had ten minutes interview with MIR.
Wilson regarding the duty on linoleum.
Representative John Dewitt Warner, of
New York, had 4 conference with sew
eral embers of the committee TO day
asking for a reduction of the duty on
still wines.
Such mem bers of the committees as
were spoken with recognized the force
| OF the argument that the rates should
be reduced, but they are obviously so
fair that tho temperance element of the
country will protest against any action
on their part which, while largely re-.
ducing the duty on foreign liquors, still
leaves heavy tariff on many of the
| actual necessities OF life.
