Republicans VIII Have Their Say.
One OF the Republican senatorial con-
ierrees remarked yesterday that the DEM
ocra's would gain nothing by such a
course. He said that II the bill was radi-
sally changed the Republicans will insist
on debating each item. no matter IL such
course should hold the conterrees to-
gether for a month. There Is no previous
question In committee. he says and that

other words. the Repu ublicans propose to
nave their say In whatever changes are
made, and II they do not get this in COM
mittee they will have IL in the omen
session OF the senatorial body.
IL was suggested by some OF their AS
'ociates that the matter should be
Drought before the house, but it was
'nought best not to precipItate any dis
'ussion on the question at this time. It

Satisfactory Agreement Predicted.
The conferrees. having disposed OF N
srge number OF unimportant amend
nents TO the senate bill. began upon the
nore important changes yesterday. They
ave practically agreed TO accept the sem ,

The period OF time that will lie occu- y
led by the conferrees cannot be stated
ith any degree of accuracy. That will
