WOOD PULP DUTY
Republicans of Congress May Be Called in Caucus to
 Consider It.

Washington, D. C., April 20.-No more important proposition is likely to come before the congress at it's present session than that involved in the removal of the duty on wood pulp to be used in the production of print paper. The likelihood is that a caucus of the house republicans may be called on the subject with view to determining it definitely.
 The caucus will be called primari- ly to discuss the currency bill, but the real purpose will be to take up the matter of the removal of the tariff on wood pulp. It is a fact that the house majority mas gotten into tangle on the financial meas- ure. Many members are objecting to the Aldrich measure and it is probleniatical now whether that bill will be crystalized into law. The att titude of Speaker Cannon and Chair man Payne of the ways aEd means committee toward the wood pulp proposition is a question of concern. Enormous pressure has been brought to bear upon congress to make wood pulp free of duty. This action, it is regarded, would be blow at the paper trust which practically has the newspapers of the country by the throat.
 The situation has gotten down to brass tacks." Speaker Cannon proctinaI I1v ic committed to tho oup- port of a free wood pulp measure, if it be brought before the house, but he would prefer that the ques- tion should not be pressed at the present session of congress. It is his idea that, if the department of jus tice or the bureau of corporations is not able at this time to furnish to congress the information asked for in his resolution, that the congress shall appoint a special committee to investigate the print paper combine, without reference to the work of the executive departments.
 The proposition to remove the duty on wood pulp now is before congress in concrete form. It is backed by the president of the United States and by the people. The stand-patters in the house are op- posed to any legislation looking to discussion of the tariff question, but it is a certainty that if the matter once is brought before the re- publican caucus decision will be rendered in favor of action.
 The free wood pulp bill would pass the house without the suspi- cion of objection. It would have the solid democratic vote and scores of republican votes. The apprehen- sion, of course, was that when the measure reached the Senate a null tiplicity of amendments would be of fered to it, opening up the whole tariff question. Within the last day or two, assurances have been re- ceived from the senate leaders of both sides that they would consider such measure coming from the house on its merits, without any at- tempts to embarrass the passage of the bill as it came from the house. Some debate would take place in the senate, but the measure probably would go through.
 The iniquity of the print paper combine is realized fully by the congress and, if possible, it will be placed under the ban at this session.
