TO one Of these insurgents" who denied that
he was .rblufing" a 'very serious and deter
mined meeting which Will have great bearing
On the fate Of the conference report" He sought
20 create the impression that forty votes would
be cast against the report by those who favor
duties on raw materials, but he would not say
positively that any Insurgents will oppose the
will of the organization
Representative Gaines. of West Virginia, a
member Of the Ways and Means Committee,
presided over the meeting, and afterward ex-
pressed the opinion that the insurgents would
ultimately be successful. I'VE fighting for
the protective system rather than for duty on
a single article" said Mr.. Gaines. This fight
for free raw materials is merely the entering
wedge Of an attack on the protective system
which Will not eliminate until that system is
destroyed We are opposed TO the doctrine Of
free raw materials and will insist on adequate
duties"
'Will you go SO far as 70 vote against the con-
ference report?" Mr.. Gaines was asked
Il have definite idea as to how far we will
go" he replied. but I am not authorized to
speak"
