Is esnsciauv true OF the changes which have
stripped the proposed free list OF all raw mate
rials" except wool and formed a sugar schedule
f,r tho benefit Of the Reiners' Trust More feeIihs
has been aroused among Democratic RepreSe"-
tat.ves on account OF the surrender % 'he GUS
Trust than any Of the Democratic senators WIN
have been parties TO 1t can realize Inc iau'el d'e
habltual.y referred TO now as "Havemeyer D''',o-
c-,ts" by the men whose political future IS 20 De

,l,rs within the next few weeks. Al least three
Democratic members Of the Ways and Means COM

There has been no meeting Of the Ways ana

conference Of the members 81 the majority SliCr
30 Dsmocra,ic majority OF the Senate began
blindly 70 follow the leadership OF MI Johrs, ~ ~

If, 10 keep up with he procession ,, ,.,
II is pretty well settled now that the bH with
the senate amendments will be referred 10 the CON-
mttee on Ways and Means as soon as i ~ received
