Ways andMeans
COMMITTEE RESUMES LAnoRs
ON THE NEW TARIFF
BILL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--Back from
their homes, the Republican members
of the Ways and Means committee
met in executive session, resumtng the
task of building new Larifr bill.
A clannish feeling among Congress-
men representing districts that have
been greatly benefited by protection
indicates where those who would re-
wise the tariff are going to meet the
heaviest opposition. The manufacture
ers and workngmen interested in a
tariff industry look to their congress-
men to nave that particular tariff up
held.
AS the first duty OF a, congressman
is to "get things" for his district, fail.
ure in an effort 10 keep up the tariH
that applies particularly to his own
district will probably relegate many
a statesman to private life. Now, no
statesman is going to be relegated
If he can help 1T and one of the most
promising ways OF helping 1t IS to
join in with representative who oc-
cupy a similar helpless position.
The result is that while congress
mep generally are waiting for tidsngs
from the Ways and Means committee
they are quietly comparing taeir inter
est in tae taEf question.
The spirit Of cooperation among the
cingressmen held responsible for
"home protection" will bring tangi-
Bile results when the action OF the
Ways and Means committee on the big
schedules become known.
