MINORITY WILL
MAKE no KICK
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS DECIDE
NOT To DELAY PASSAGE OF
TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
Democratic senator's will not delay the
passage of the tariff biz. They held
their second conference yesterday, and
while no formal conclusion was reach
ed on any point there was general
concensus OF opinion in favor of per-
mttting the Republicans to take en-
tire charge Of the measure with the
understanding that they assume as
they necessarily must the entire re.
sponsibility for 1t. 1t has been stated
that the postponement OF proceedings
IL the senate was due to a request
from the Democrats but they take ex-
ception to this statement and say that
they will be prepared to proceed with
the consideration OF the bill whenever
the Republican senators Xesire to take
It up; and more than this, that they
will be willing to have the RepubH-
cans extend the hours OF the sittIngs
and after reasonable time for dis
cussion to permit the majority to
name time for taking the final vote.
Favor Income Tax.
The general expression of the opln-
ion in the conference indicated that
there would not be a g.eat number of
extended speeches on tn bill but that
there would be a desire to discuss
many of the schedules and especially
some of the amendments which will be
offered by Democratic senators. The
nearest approach to formal agreement
at the meeting was a refteration
of their former expression in favor Of
an income tax. There is no doubt that
the parts in the senate is united dn
that point but there was no effort to
bring about concrete understanding
on rates of duty on any of the articles
covered by the tariff.
Divergence Of Opinion.
There was no divergence Of opinion
as to the desirability of a general re.
duction of rates on necessaries of life
but some indications that Individual
Demochatic senators would stand
against specified decreases in the In
terests of their own localities.
The meeting broke up without fixing
a definite time for future meetings,
but there was an understanding that
other conferences would be held from,
time to time upon the call of Chair
man Culberson.
