10 PKEPARE TARIFF BILL
Republicans of the Ways and Mean.
Con, y,iftee to Confer.

Com .siftee to Confer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. "a con-
ference of the Republican mem ers of the
Ways and Means Committee will be held
tomorrow night, probably at the rooms of
Dingley, the chairman, to decide what
action shall be taken with reference to the
preparation of tariff bill. The considera-
ton of this question also involves the
necessity of an extra session. If it be de-
cided to prepare finished tariff measure
1t is expected that arrangements will be
made for a series of hearings to the repre-
sentatives of the manufacturing interests,
which will extend over q period of a
month or more. 1t is believed that if the
WORK OF preparing tariff bill be DELAYED
until the latter part OF January, sufficient
time will remain before the 4th of March
to perfect the measure. Appearances
would indicate that Republican members
generally favor an extra session.
