Washington. July 26.-It is gene~-
ally appreciated that the tariff oil IS
at the most critical stage and the
most enthusiastic supporters of it 10
rot regard the outlook as hopeful as
ii was a week ago. In both the Sem
ate and House, the anti-free hide ele-
ment is making preparations for Wig
Crous opposition to any report of the
conference committee that will take
the duty off hides.
In case the conferees bring in
report favoring free hides, the i'm
surrectos" will adopt a resolution Of
authorization to the conference com
mittec to place all leather goods OH
the free list. BY this course they
count on gaining all but one Demo-
cratic vote in the Senate and all but
four in the House.
The insurrectos believe that rather
than accept free shoes, the conferees
will be willing to accept duty on
hides. The free raw material meu,
backed by President Taft and ma
jority of the Republican members of
both houses, tell the "insurrectos" TO
either take free hides now or be
asked to accept free wool in addition.
Members of both houses are great
