PROBLEM ABOUT RESULTS
Congress- Has Not Cleared Atmosphere
rs to Tariff Tinkerlng.

Washington, Dec IA single week OF
Congress has not cleared the atmosphere
as to whether there will be any serious
effort al the present session toward tar
IN tnkering While many bills have been
introduced In the House for the repeal of
duties on lumber, food products, coal and
many OF the raw materials. they have
come entirely from the democratic MI
nority and are regarded as indicating the
intentions of individuals next session
when the democrats will be in the major
ity In the House
In the Senate the only tariT activity
has been IN connection with the amend
ment of the rules proposed by senator
Cummins. The change suggested is de-
signed to permit revision OF tho tariff by
schedules and prevent consideration OF
amendments to schedules other than
those specifically under discussion. Tho
opposition to the proposed change In the
rules insist that It involves cloture In
form that has been repuSnant to the Sen
ate rules for hundred years.
