YESTERDAY WAS ONE OF CON-
FERENcES ON THE TARIFF
BILL.
HARMONIOUS ACREEMEN
Declared to be racticabe--Aldrich
Payne and Taft Conferred at the
White House Last
Night.

Washington, July 22.-With the eff
feet Of magic Taft appears to have
brought about a langii}le situation
with regard TO the tariff where un'
certainty existed before
Today was one of conferences and
concluded with a consultation at the
White House tonight, participated In
by the president, Aldrich and Payne,
at which Taft was assured that a
harmonious settlement OF the differ
ences between the two houses is prac-
ticable.
The senator's opposed to the free
raw material program were consulted
by Aldrich, and the committee re-
porting the same position on the house
side held a conference with Payne.
In addition, the house conferees met
this afternon to have the experts of
the senate finance committee explain
the senate changes IN the cotton
schedule.
II is evident that tIe president, by
informing the confefccs that the dis
puted points were before them fer set
tlement, brought aDou; a condition
hat augurs well for an early agree
ment of the conference report Aid
rich today met large number of sen
ators who are opposed TO free hides
coal, and iron ore, and no encourage
ment was offered for placing any oil
these articles on the free list. The
tariff insurgents" In the house who
oppose free raw materials today
adopted resolutions protesting against
the plan.
Dwight, OF New YORK, the repubi-
can whip of the house, conferred with
Adrich this afternoon and informed
him that the anti-frae raw material
sentiment in the house was matter
which required serious consideration.
He said it's strength had grows to Al
members. The advocates OF dutiable
hides in both houses declare a com
promise is possible, but they cannot
consider the placing OF these articles
on the free list. One conferee de.
rlared that The plan 10 reduce the
rates on leather goods to compensate
for free hides was not feasible without
a long delay and, that the president
undoubtedly would accept the juds-
ment CT the confereer on this point.
With regard to the free reciprocity
provision on coal there also was a
firm stand The members interested
in coal declared that such a provision
would make the situation with regard
to coal untenable for the operatives
and that reduction III the senate
rate would close for reciprocal free
trade was more acceptable.
That the nominal DUTY on iron ore
will be agreed TO by the conferees was
indicated tonight. II is understood
that Payne is insisting on absolutely
FIRE ore. II is more thrn likely that the
conference report will place petro-
leum on the free list without the
countervailng duty proposition.
