Especial to The Post1
Washington, May 16-The fact that the
republican leaders are stlT greatly worried
over the matter Of "reciprocIty' with cuba

cnces influential senators have been holding
with the president during the past day or
two.
Senator Clarp OF Minnesota was at the

appear to be really in need OF #, It Is
nuthoritatlvcly stated, however, that Mr..

before him. lie stlll believes that congress
should pass bin providing for straight
reduction Of the tariff on Cuban sugar and
other products and that II such bill Is

to win their strike unanimously decided
upon a plan that II carried into successful

practicable for the purpose Of endeavoring
to have oil the bltumiuous mine workers
both organized and unorganiEed, involved In

The announcement was oi4clally made at
