the house by vote Of Is. TO i07, de-
cided to discharge the house confer
rees from further consideration OF
the bill. recede from Its opposition
to the 634 senate amev.ments, and
agree to the same. twas complete
victory for the senate. The house
made an absolute surrender. The
result grew directly out of the sensa'
tional course Of events ut the senate
end OF the capitol precipitated by
Senator Hill on Friday.
Up to that time the house confer
rees had stood firm against the senate
amendments, especially ON the three
disputed schedules OF coal. iron ore
and sugar, and the temper and voice
of the hou,e was for war-war to the
end. But the indications that the
Democrats of the senate might be I'M
able to longer hold u ma jority OF the
votes in line for even the senate bill,
and that the bill was in d spcrate
jeopardy. forced tn, hOuS. Democrats
10 Immediate action. The Democratic
conferrees of the h use ut last nd
mitted that they were beaten and
that another vote could not be risked
in the senate, that II must be either
the senate bill or no bill.
The whole question was precipitated
at the caucus held just before the
house convened. ut which. after a
thorough review of the situation and
speeches in favor Of rccei.ng by
Speaker Crisp, Chairman Wilson and
others. IL was decided to take the sem
ate bill. and Immediately afterwards
pass separate bills placing coal. iron
ore. sugar and barbcd wire ON the
free list. and by so doing place the
house on record and Mt least partially
overcome the humiliation involved in
it's defeat. The program arranged In
the caucus was carrie ont to the let.
