They VIII Canvass House to De-
teFmine Number of Their
Sympathizers.

The movement OF the high tariff Re-
publicans' IN opposition TO substantial
reductions on free raw materials. as pro-
posed by President Taft, began 10 as
sumo a more serious aspect yesterday.
Twenty-Five of these insurgents held
another conference. at the conclusion of
which emphatic denials were made 20 the
charge that these meetings have been
held solely for the purpose Of making an
impression on the folks back home
After an extended discussion Of the
views Of the President relative to- free
raw materials, a resolution was passed
declaring, in effect. that a material re-
duction in the rates on raw materials
would be fatal TO the interests Of the
districts represented IN the conference.
Each member present was urged 20 use
his influence with the conferees to pre-
vent such REDUCTIONS. Representative
Gaines. OF West Virginia, the ringleader
Of the high tariff insurgents. said that the
movement must be reckoned with serious

to the free list. But this claim is not
borne out by the discussions heard at the
Capitol
Senator Warren Senator Smoot. and
other men from the cattle-growing States
Of the West say positively that there
will be a duty on hides. Senator Smoot
has predicted that the duty would be 10
per cent, with the probability that the
House rates on sole leather. boots. and
shoes, and the other manufactured prod
ucts Of leather will be accepted by the
Senate.
There are many OF the Western sena-
tors who would be willing to vote for
free hides if the boot and shoe manu-
facturers Of New England would con-
sent to corresponding reduction IN
their products. But this they have re-
fused 10 do
But Notwithstanding their resistance.
the reduction OF the duty on hides Is
certain TO be accompanied by some re-
duction in the duties on leather and its
products. Crude oil will go upon the free
list. That IS conceded on all hands
Print paper will probably carry a duty
OF 50 a ton, rough lumber will pay Sis
per thousand. and coal be subjected to
a duty OF 40 or a cents, with no re-
ciprocal arrangement with Canada for
free coal. The best judgment Is that
iron ore will be put on the free list
Fight over Cotton.
The Presidents friends are claiming the
victory for him in the matter OF the
changes in the cotton goods rates. which
il is understood VIII be made. In the
higher classes Of cotton cloths. the Sen
ate rates will probably prevail. These
products compete with silks and are
regarded as luxuries.
The changed classification IN these
higher grades OF goods. brought about
through the energetic efforts OF Sem
ator Lodge. WILL it Is said, transfer TO
the American mills from abroad. the
manufacture OF about 100000 worth OF
cotton goods In the lower grades OF
cotton cloths. marked reductions will be
made from the Senate rates.
The House conferees were in session
all yesterday afternoon going over the
cotton schedule with Appraisers De Vries,
Sharretts. and Parkhin. OF New York
Mr.. Payne showed up figures tending TO
show that the rates on cotton cloth had
been increased, while the experts took
issue with him.
They supported the contention OF SEN
ator Aldrich that the rates on this class
Of goods had not been appreciably
changed. despite tho figures submitted
by Mr. Payne. While the figures tended
TO show that the rates had been lifted
there were other considerations, the ap-
praisers contended, which, IN practice.
would tend 70 decrease rather than in
crease tho rates on cotton cloth.
From all that can be learned, all OF the
House conferees. except Mr.. Payne we're
that the appraisers were right,
this means the acceptance Of the
Aldrich cotton schedule remains to be
seen.
II there Is an open break between Mr..
Payne and his colleagues It Will be over
he cotton schedule, as even Mr.. Payne
Is convinced that, while concessions may
be made IN the rates on raw materials,
those products cannot be all placed on
the free list without impsriling the pas
sage OF the bill.
