appears that the Democratic senat ors
who are now opposing. the chan ge had
accepted the original compro-
mise amendment. but that even
that action was. not taken
without more or less objection, and now
that the question has been reOpened
they are manifesting disposition to
even oppose the original compromise
and to demand the restoration of the
house rate. They contend that with
wool on the free list there is no longer
reason for anything like compensatory
duty OH woOlen manufactures. They
are holding out very persistently. and
the tariff managers confess that the re-
suit of the various conferences cannot
yet be outlined.
The Republicans, on the other hand.
are holding out stiffly for even a greater
concession than the finance committee
has shown disposition to grant.
