CONFEREES OF THE
TARIFF BILL MEET

Washington. July 10.-An OF the
confereeS of the tariff bill were pres
ent at 10 o'clock today for the first
OF the many sessions that must be
held to harmonic the differences be-
tween the house and the senate. It
Is customary, in conferences relating
to tariff legislation, to take up first
the amendments of n character not
likely to provoke serious conflict, but
this procedure was varied today. IL
was agreed that many of the more
important provisions should be sub
mitted to subconferees, and others
will go TO members OF the committees
on ways and means and finance, who
were not named as conferees. Assist
ance will be given also by the mem
bers of the senate and house, who had
no official part In framing the bills
in committees.
The explanation was made today. on
behalf OF Speaker Cannon, that the
controlling motive on the house con-
ferees on the tariff bill had been the
question Of location. and his chief de-
sire was that all such parties inter.
ested In the tariff should have been
represented on the committee.
If the conferees had been selected
according 20 the rule of precedence
among members of the ways and
means committee. the Mississippi
valley country would have been repre-
sented by Mr., Boutel alone. while the
Eastern states would have four repre-
sentatives. including two from New
England This, the speaker consider
ed, would be an unequitable distriou-
ton. Mr.. Needham OF California was
left off, according to the explanation.
because the Pacific coast has very
few interests that are involved in the
pending bill.
The controverted amendments were
disposed of at the forenoon session.
The amendments were taken up to.
day in their numerical order and all
of these, which appeared likely TO
provoke argument. We're passed for
later consideration.
