ONE REPUBLICAN, OPPOSES
Majority Of the Ways and Means on
the Porto Rico Bill

the Porto Rico Bill.
Washington, Feb 1T developed today
in connection with the Puerto Rico tariff
bill that the Republican majority of the
ways and means and committee was
unanimous for the measure for the S-ta-
ciple it involved as to the government of
territorial acquisitions and that Repre-
sentative Mccall, Republican member
Of the committee, of Massachusetts, had
prepared a strong dissenting report.
When the ways and means committee
passed on the bill last week Mr.. Mccall
withheld his vote, the understanding be-
ing that he had not yet given that care
full attention to the issues involved neces-
sary to permit him to vote either way.
In other respects, the vote was on party
lines, all Republican members EXCEPT Mr..
Mccall voting for the bill and all the
Democrats against it. The ways and
means committee at its meeting today
reached an understanding that the de-
bate on the Puerto Rico tariff bill would
begin on the 18th instant and last one
week. Later it was decided not to sub
nit the reports until tomorrow.

And shield you from its stormy weather.
