actually broader in Its authority than
the senate paragraph which it replaced.
Presidents Wide Power.
TT authorizes the president TO en-
ploy whomsoever he pIeases without
limit and to assign them such duties
rs he sees mt within the limitation Of
the maximum and minimum provi-
sions."
"WiH the inquiries of the committee
cover the cost of production at home
and abroad?" inquired Mr.. Newlands.
"Unquestionably they viii, and that
involves a great many collateral ques-
tions," replied Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr. AIdrich added that he betrayed no
confidence by saying that his views and
those of the president were similar to
the provisions under discussion. Reply
ing further to questions, Mr.. Aldrich
said he believed congress would not fail
fully to supply the president with ap-
propriations to carry out the authority
to ascertain all facts deemed necessary
by him concerning the operation Of the
maximum and minimum rate provi-
siOns.
Variety of Opinion.
A variety of opinion was developed
concerning the effect of the para graph
under discussion. Mr.. Clapp believed
that it limited the power of the pTesi-
dent while Mr.. Crawford did not think
it would operate that way. Mr.. Hey
burn insisted it would give no author
| ity to the president to obtain the cost
of production at home and abroad or to
do anything except to determine what
action should be taken respecting the
operation of maximum and minimum
clause.
Mr.. Newlands here said that he was
gTatified by the assurances given by
the chairman of the finance committee.
Senator Stone, with a half-suppressed
smile, suggested that some assurances
had been given that the senate should
receive the translation 81 the Gevnan
! government report on the cost Of pro-
ductiOn in Germany.
1T has been sent TO the government
printing office responded Mr.. Aldrich.
L think the printing Office is busy these
days, but I have no doubt we Will get
| it some time"
Announcing that he could not cOnsci-
| entiously vote for the conference report,
Mr.. Clapp said:
After we undertook revision Of the
| tariff as a result Of a demand by the
consumers, a force for the first time be
| gan to arise, not for protection, but for
prolific intensity profit.
THE new issue now is whether what
was once a beneficial factor in American
| legislation shall be used merely to in
| crease profits.
Saying ne could not approve the con-
/ ference report. he declared If a choice
were given him Of approving what had
! been done by congress in the natter of
/ tariff legislation, or being retired to pri-
vate life, he would readily accept the
/ latter.
Agreement to Vote.
/ Mr.. Bailey remarked that an under
| standing had been reached for a vote
| on the conference report.
! Mr.. Aldrich was promptly upon his
/ feet and nodded assent.
The Texas senator suggested that Sc
1 far as the opponents of the bill were
| concerned, he understood that they
would be ready to vote by 2 o'clock
/ Thursday.
IF the mistakes of this bill are to
! be corrected" Mr.. Bailey added, q
think the debate on the resolution Will
require quite as much time as the talif!
measure itself has consumed"
Mr.. Bacon desired to have on under
/ standing Of the scope of the debate on
the proposed resolution, and Mr.. Aid
rich, with some show of irritation, with
drew his acceptance of the Bailey prop
| OsitiOn for unanimous consent.
Promptly renewing that request. Wr
Bailey, without further debate, obtained
an agreement to vote on the acCeLtauct
Of the conference report at , O'clock
next Thursday.
Senator Daniel facetiOUsly referred tC
l the nOn-participatiOn by the Democrats
| in the conference on the bill. He in
formed the senate that the Democrats OF
the conference committee were pTepaT-
ing a statement regarding that bill
/ which would be ready by tomorrow.
An apparent indispositiCu on the par
! of senators further to discuss the con-
/ ference report followed, and Mr.. Aid
rich surprised verybOdy by moving al
adjournment. The motion carried. ana
the senate at 1:0S p. m. adjourned unit
noon tomorrow.
