The Rhode Island Senator said he would call up
the lumber schedule tomorrow. es several
Senators wanted to speak on lumber. He said
| it was impossible TO have a vote on the lumber
| schedule for several days. but he thought to-
morrow could be given TO debating this schedule.
Then Mr.. Bailey wanted to know whether Mr..
AIdrich would consent to fixing a time for voting
on the income tax amendments.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that when the Senate met
tomorrow he purposed asking that a day be
fixed for voting on the bill and all amendments.
and he was unwilling to fix time for taking
the income tax vote until agreement was
reached for a vote on the entire bill. The Texas
Senator explained that he wanted early consid-
Grafton OF the income tax question, because q
systematic effort was being made TO reduce the
strength Of those favorable TO an income tax
I'VE feel the ground slipping from under US. and
the earlier the vote the better will like it.

It Is expected that objection will be made
when Mr. Aldrich asks that day be fixed for
voting on the tariff bill He will continue TO

insist that longer daily sessions be held

be the rule-that are to ask and receive per

I'D two-thirds OF the time of the Senate in ask
