the free list have disagreed to the
single house amendment, that adding
lemons to the free list and to the
Kern senate amendment limiting free
importation Of meat and cereal pro-
ducts to those countries which have
reciprocal trade arrangements with
the United States. They have agreed
on all the other amendments and the
conference report was presented to
both houses today. There will be q
give-and-take outcome, with q possi-
bility Of each side receding and con-
curing with the others amendments
so as to obviate the necessity of send
ing the free list bill back to confer

The cotton bill has been discussed
without action in the senate. SEN
ator LaFollette Of Wisconsin, who
was chosen by the conferees to repre-
sent the senate in the adjustment of
the differences over the other two
bills. has expressed the belief that the

until the next session.

Of Wisconsin, already probed into by
the legislature at Madison, will come
