Between Cannon and Republican
Members of Ways and Means
Committee--provisio of
Bill Were Explained.

Washington, March 10.-Speaker
Cannon and Representative Vreelani
today conferred with the Republican
members of the Ways aud Means
Committee regarding the provisions
of the new tariff bill.
The strict secrecy that has pre-
vailed in regard to everything that
has taken place il the committee
room was maintained. but il was UNI
derstood that he new feature OF the
bill, the new provision reviving the
war revenue tax. and the inheritance
tax section, were thoroughly explain
ed to the speaker.
Cannon desires to become thor,
oughly familiar with the tariff meas,
ure in order TO speed its passage
through the house In accordance with
the understanding reached at the
White House conference Monday.
In oredr to compensate in meas
ure for the general reduction of duties
contained in the bill, the sub-cmmiJ-
tee has incorporated several prors.
ions which are expected to increase
revenues.
These provisions are remedial in
character. tending to prevent under
valuations and other methods by
which the ambiguity of the Dingley
law is taken advantage of.
1t was authoritatively learned to-
night that the new tariff bill which
will be submitted to the house al the
special session will contain the fol
lowing rates:
Lead, copper and sugar, no change;
iron ore. free; rails and billets. suit
stantially reduced pig iron, % per
cent reduction; textiles, graduated
tariff on high grade cotton. and on
silk goods an increased tax: medium.
no change; low grade reduced tariff.
