WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. April T.-The Demo
cratic members OF thu finance committee
Of the senate today followed up their re-
frsal OF yesterday to allow the tarin bill
TO be reported directly to the senate with
the announcement that they expect 10 Do
given opportunity for thorough exam
inatior OF all the schedules OF the bill as
amended before 10 is reported to the sem
ata They have already employed one ex-
pert and will employ others to take up
the bill IN their behalf as soon as II Is pre-
scented TO them. They expect 10 be able
to examine the bill sufficiently 10 permit
it to 60 to the senate In about two weeks
time after they receive 1t. There has been
soma talk about the Democratic senators
granting hearings by the full commit
tee, but this proposition does not appear
20 have met with general favor. The
Democratic members OF the committee
fear that insistence upon this course
would be construed into determination
to delay the BILL which they insist Is no
part OF their programme.
The decision of the Democratic members
may have the effect OF causing post
ponement OF tho presentation ef the blu
beyond Thursday. Some OF the Repue-
Ecan committeeman now say that they
win not conclude their work before Mon
day morning as there are stu various
matters which are not definitely decided,
and which IL becomes absolutely necessary
10 nx before going into the fun committee.
They are still working with the hope Of
presenting the bill Thursday. but are still
less hopeful than formerly.
The Republicans think they discover IN
the present attitude of their Democratic
colleagues a disposition TO delay the pas
sage OF the bill, which they had not pre-
vfously counted upon. and are making
their preparations for long siege In the
senate as well as In the committee. Some
OF them express the fear that the bin Will
not become a law before August l.
