Washington, June 22.--Already badly
tangled, the situation in the senate
was still further complicated today
when the senate finance committee de-
cided TO throw revision and the So
called farmers free list bills. recent
" passed by the democratic house OF
representatives into the open senate
at once, to- take their chances along
with Canadian reciprocity. Both meas
ures, however, received formal adverse
committee reports.
The committee refused to take the
responsibility for reporting in detail on
these measures at any given time and
decided to cast the burden Of senate
legislation upon a coalition OF demo-
Gratis and insurgent republicans which
was suddenly brought about last night
when the wool bill came from the
house. The finance committee had
been instructed to report the wool bill
by July To-
II was reported today that senator
C1app proposed to ofEer a resolution 0f
instruction as to the free list bill. but
the committee forestalled such action.

den action on the two bills. Chairman
Penrose declared that the committee
did not believe proper hearings could
be held within the twenty days al
lowed by the Gore resolution. For that
reason, he said. the committee had de-
termined to report both bills at once
with recommendation that they do not

Washington, d. G.. June 22.-
There is Jubilation among the
opponents of Canadian reciprocity
as q result of the senates action
in opening the tariff question. The
wool schedule which is generally
regarded as the cornerstone of
protection. is sure to be overhauled
now. This probably will throw
congress into protracted tariff
debate and so complicate the
legislative programme as to make
the enactment Of Canadian reci-
procity in its present form as ex-
tremely problematical.
The entire North Dakota con-
gressional delegation as well as
members of congress from the
northwest generally are agreed
that the chances for the defeat OF
reciprocity with Canada now APP
