vice law Ia being actively canvassed
among Republican members OF the
house as result of the conference held
Saturday night. The members OF the
special committee havinn the matter
In charge are trying to 60 shape bill
that It will command the support OF q
number of DIVERGENT clements,
one OF these is the Democratic mi
norIty, which. combined with the Re-
publltans opposed to the present law.
would be strong enough to carry a bill.
But In cunVasslng the situation It has
been found That Democratic members

modification OF tho law, there appears

unite. II Is claimed, however, that a
modification bill will receive the votes
OF two-thlrds OF the Republican mem-
bers and have good chance Of passing
the senate aud receiving the Presidents
signature,
