there will be no legislation ii regard

Representative Payne. Of New York,
who is the republican leader on the
floor in all matters relating to legisla.
tion affecting the revenues and finan-
ees Of the governement, said today:
Il have no idea that there will be
any tariff legislation or any financial
Legislation Of material concern. The
tariff is not matter to be tinkered
with on the eve Of a presidential cam
paign, and finance is equally import
ant
Of the numerous questions OF large
importance on which the republicans
feel obliged to take negative posi-
lion, the question Of tariff legislation,
many persons believe, is franght with
most danger, for the reason that the
democrats have practically decided
that the tariff shall be the dominant
issue in next years camptign In res
ponding to party demands, many OF
the republican members Of the house
will be placed in the attitude of open
" opposing thing which they secret
" favor. The same fear Of losing
votes will also stand in the.way OF
any financial Legislation, it is believed.
II may be safely said that the mai.
ority will not pass the eight-hour bill,
which organized labor Is prepared to
demand with more aggressiveness
than ever before. This promises to
be troublesome question. The par
lty in power finds itself between two
fires--organized labor on one side in.
