House Leaders Say Bill Will
Be Defeated If 1t Is Not
Drawn to Suit.
GIVES PRESIDENT
A NEEDED WEAPON
Executive Promises Senators a
Veto and Revision Two Years
Hence as Alternative.
By JAMES Hay, Jr.

President Taft, who called a
special meeting of his Cabinet to-
day to discuss the tariff bill, and
VINO viii have as his dinner guests
this evening the Republican con-
ferees on the measure, is supremely
confident that his fight for free raw
materials and lower schedules on
manufactured products will end in
victory for himself.
Unless he does win in his conten-
tons, he will veto the bill.
His position. bluntIy put. is that,
if the Senate or the House, or both
bodies, wish to assume the re-
sDonsibility of putting up to him
a measure which, in consistency
with his views, he will have to
veto, they viii have to take the
consequences.
This position is all the more po-
tent when there is added to it by
the President the reminder to re-
bellious gentlemen that within the
next two years, if this bill falls by
the wayside through a veto, there
will be another revision of a more
drastic nature than at present he
dares to hope for.
What He Demands.
Thus. IA effect he says to tbs con
ferees. and 70 the House and Senate:
Frame the bill as 1 wish it. and /
VIII sign It Disregard my wishes. and
7 win veto it, the veto carrying the
certain promise Of even more drastic
revision TWO years hence"

wishes Of the President and MI. Payne
that the duties on cotton goods be re-
duced in conformity to the reductions
on gloves and hosiery, seemed to have
been patched up today so far as sur
face indications went.
Its chief value was TO demonstrate
that Mr.. Payne is with the President in
This fight, and that Paynes believes the
membership Of the House Will back him
and the President to the last ditch.
The President has said that the House

Cabinet Meeting Adjourned.
The meeting Of the Cabinet today was
adjourned over from yesterdays regular
meeting by the President. The mem
bers OF the Cabinet are solidIy behind
him in his determination to get from the
Conferees a bin which will meet the
pledges OF the partys platform ana

Nothing official was given out regard
ing what was decided on at the meet

that, afer it was over, the President

the fulhlment Of mis- wishes In the mat
ter. The meeting was called merely to
