TO decrease the Democratic member
ship of a few of the committees.
The most important change suggest
ed by them was that the Republicans
should be allowed to add one member
80 their side of the committee on COM
merce, while the Democrats should
agree to surrender one of the places on
that committee held by them The
committee as now constituted includes
ten Republican members and seven
Democratic members.
VIII Make Resistance.
1t was decided to vigorously resist
this innovation The Republicans also
expressed a desire to increase the
membership of the committees on ag-
riculture and census from nine to
eleven each. the two new members To
be Republicans. to increase the COM
mittee on claims from thirteen TO four
teen. the Republicans to have eight
members and the Democrats six. An
increase is also proposed in the com
mittee on foreign relations. AS it at
present stands the committee numbers
eleven members. four of whom are
Democrats.
The proposal is to make fl consist Of
thirteen members eight of whom shall
be Republicans and five Democrats. a
change was also suggested i'm the COM
mittee on irrigation. which is at pres
ent composed of six Republicans and
Eve Democrats. The change. If adopted.
would give a membership OF eleven,
only four Of whom would be Demo
Gratis. The Democrats decided TO OPP
pose the proposed changes in the COM
mittees on claims and irrigation.
No Place For Wellington.
The Republican committee suggested
no changes in the committees on APP
preparations. finance and judiciary, but
indicated that they viii continue SEN.
ator Jones of Nevada on the finance
committee. thus practically adding one
to the Republican representation and
taking one from the opposition repre-
sentatiOn.
The Republicans did not indicate any
indication to take care of Senator
Wellington in the matter of commit
tees. nor was any suggestion made IN
the caucus that the Democrats should
find places for him.

WILL REPORT
TARIFF BILL
Philippine Measure to Go to the
House Today.
TO BE VOTED ON WEDNESDAY
WILL RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF
SOME DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS.

Washington, Dec. 11.-At a meeting
of the ways and means committee to-
day. Chairman Payne was directed to
favorably report to the house the Phil
ippine tariff bill which the Republicao
members Of the committee agreed upon
yesterday. The report viii be made
Friday and the bill viii be considered
in the house next Tuesday with a vote
at p. m. on Wednesday. instead OF on
Tuesday as at first planned.
Numerous conferences of Democratic
members were held prior to the meet
ing of the ways and means committee
today, because of the question which
had arisen as to united opposition to
the Philippine bill drafted by Republi-
can members It developed that the
four Louisiana members now in the
Representatives Robertson. Mey-
er, Davy and Randell-were favorable
to the bill, and that the two Louisiana
members out of the city, Messrs- BrOus-
sard and Breazelle, probably would ia
vor it.
The Louisiana members made no
cOnCealment of the fact that the sugar
industry of their state required the
measure of protection against Philip
pine sugar which the majority bill gave
by applying the Dingley rates.
Under these circumstances the minor
ity members reached no united decision
as to opposing the bill, and although
there will be a minority report oppos-
ing the measure on general grounds,
the Louisiana members will hold them
selves individually free to vote for the
bill.
Secretary Gage has written 70 Chair
man Payne pointing out that the bill
should provide for a rebate when arti-
cles exported from this country contain
ingredients imported from the Philip
pines on which duty already has beer
paid. The bill probably will be amend
ed to conform to this suggestion.
