WORK or THE c0HFEREES
WHEN HOUSE MEETS TODAY.
The Chairman and Mr.. Reed VIII
Each Control One Hour-Lines
of Agreement and Disagree
ment in the Conference, as
Summarized by Schedules -
Wilson Too Weak to Talk Long.

WASHINGTON, July 1s. The pro-
gramme for handling the tariff dis
agreement when it is reported to the
house tomorrow was substantially
agreed on this afternoon. Mr.. Wilson
will make brief verbal report as soon
as the house conyenes. Mr.. Catchings,
from the committee on rules, thereupon
will present a special rule, allowing
two hours for debate, at the end of
which time a vote will be taken on
again sending the bill to conference. 1t
Is expected that there will be an obJec-
tion to this rule. MIR. Reed says he ad-
vised full debate, yet he has no obJec-
ton to limiting it to two hours. Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Reed will each control
one hour. 1t is expected that Mr.. Wiz
son will make the main statement of
the difficulties which now confront the
bill, although his strength may not per-
NIT him to make long speech.
No purpose has been developed as yet
to move special instructions to the COM
ittee, as it is said an insistence on the
house bill is all the insistence necessary.
When the bill is again sent to confer
snce there will be no change in the
personnel of the house conferees.
A house Democratic member of the
conference committee outlined to the
Associated Press the following lines of
agreement and arrangement in the con-
ference, summarized by schedules as
follows:
Schedule A, Che micals. Oils and
Paimts-Agreements on all points OF
dispute were obtainable.
Schedule b, Earths, Earthenware and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on main differ
ences were made, and minor differences
colld have been adjusted.
Schedule &, Metals and Manufactures

ores aud manufactured metals, with
little common ground for agreement. (!
Schedule ID, Wood and Manufactures
of-Agreement could nave been secured.
Schedule E. E.Sugar-The disagreement
was positive sand vital, and was the
main point of difference in conferences.
ScheduleF, ToDacco and Manufactures
No trouble was apparentln reaching
an agreement.
Schedule Il. Agricultural Products and
Hrovisions-fhe differences were open
to adjustment, but no final agreement
was reached on any of them.
Schedule H, S pirts, Wines and Other
Beverages-a basis of agreement had
been reached.
Schedule l, Cotton Manufactures-An
agreement could have been reached,
although points of difference still ex-

considered difficult.
Schedule K. Wool and Manufactures
Of Wool-While some differences ex-
listed, they could have been adjusted.
Schedule l.. NJ and N. Silk Paper and
Sundries-Occasione little difference,
and agreements were easy.
From the foregoing 1t is evident that
agreements were possible on most Ques-
tions, and that the schedules OF disa-
greement which brought about the total
disagreement we're thuSe covering
sugar. metals, iron ore and coal. The
differences on manufactured metals re-
suited mainly from that OH iron ore, so
that the difference WAS, in fact, prac-
tlcally narrowed down to iron ore, coal
aud sugar.
