did not want rupture at once prevented
the impending conflict. The resolution
went over, and the Republican managers
who were assisting to make trouble saw
that the Democrats were uniting to pre-
vent the storm and would not risk another
vote in order to keep the resol ution before

under consideration in conference COM
mittee for over month. and further de-
lay is absolutely inexcusable. The con.
ferrses ought to know each others minds

fact OF such disagreement should be re-
ported to the two houses.
Then, II no understanding can be
reached upon q bill. congress should
rest. We have now been in session for
nearly q whole year and have had ample
opportunity to legislate. A senator or
member who does not know exactly what
he wants to do on the tariff question after
all this time spent in useless deliberation
Is unit to represent any constituency. We
have deliberated enough.
I'VE want action. Let the two houses
take the bill out Of the hands of their
conference committees and proceed dpvote
at once upon the disagreeing provisions,
and IL no agreement can be reached. let
the whole matter go over until the next
session and let congress adjourn to give
the business interests of the country a
chance to recuperate from the present de-
preston.
Congress must arouse from its lethargy
and should act tn accordance with public
sentiment and not in defiance of it. Either
pass the tariff bill at once, or adjourn and
go home. These are my sentiments, and
believe they are The sentiments Of nine

nant Of it-assembled, with the Hill res
olution and the exciting debate thereon
as the main topic among them. All of
the house men were present, but Jones
was the only senate conferree in attend
ance fo- any length Of time. Little or no
attempt WINS made TO take mp items or
schedules. and when the conference sep
arated IL was without fixing q time for re-
assembling. The house conferrees no
longer disguised the deep concern they
felt over the future Of the bill. They had
made rough estimate Of the vote on the
Hill resolution and they felt it would pass
today.
Under these circumstances they said
nothing could be done until the resolution
was disposed Of, II through some hope
full turn it was defeated il would leave the
conference TO proceed, and the contest
would be carried on for the Wilson bill.
IL, however. II was passed IL would prac-
tically discontinue the conference In
that event, the house men stated with
satisfaction, they would still be able to
avert the complete failure Of all tariff
legislation by having the house agree to
the senate bill.
The senate conferrees also regard the
situation ms very serious, and they sepa-
rated from their house colleagues in no
amisble frame Of mind. The parlismen.
tArians busted themselves with the house
rules 70 see what remedy the house would
have In case the Hill resolution passed.
The prevailing opinion was that the house
could pass the senate bill ut any time.
This wns the view taken by the conferrees.
