INSURGENTS
 LINING UP
JOIN souARELY WITH DEMO. CRAFTS IN A DEMAND FOR
 TARIFF REVISION.
Fate of Reciprocity Bill in Senate Seems in Doubt Now-Penrose Calls Meeting of Finance
 Committee.

Washington, June 21-The tlrow- ing of the democrat wool revision bill into the senate today drove the in- surgent republicans of that body into an open coalition with the democrats in demand for an agreed revision of the tariff and brought about the threatened crisis in the finance com 'fittee and control of the senate. At the end of a bitter figat the resolu- tion by Senator Gore requiring the finance committee to report back the wool bill before July 10, was passed by vote of 39 to IS.
 The fate of the reciprocity bill was tonight in doubt as result of the remarkable developments of the days session of the senate. Western re- publicans who have fought the reel procity measure, taking up challenges thrown down by the democratic leaders, followei each other in rapid succession in their ultimatums to the senate leaders. These nltimatums were invariably to the effect that be- fore the reciprocity bill is permitted to pass a republican senate will be forced to undertake revision of other skedules of tariff including much more than the woolen revision bill and the free list bill, whicn have gone through the house.
 Of the affirmative votes cast for the Gore motion overthrowing the finance committee, sixteen were republicans, They were Senators Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Crawforl, Cnmmins, Dixon, Greena, Jones, Ken yon LaFollette, Nelson. Poindexter, Townsend and Works. This included the full insurgent strength of tlir- teen and in addition Senators Jones, Nelson and Townsend. Senator Myers was the only democrat voting with the republicans against the motion.
 As the result of the senate's action, Senator Penrose before adjournment, called meeting of the finance com mittee, of which he is chairman, for 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and he and other regular republicans pre- dicted that when the senate convenes at noon tomorrow the wool measure. together with the free list bill, will be reported adversely.
 The republican leaders pointed out that if the wool anl the free list bills were reported to the senate now it would be impossible to pass the reef procity bill.
 The fight over tariff revision that is sure to follow the injection of the three bills at one time into the open senate would endanger the passage of the reciprocity bill. except in such changed form that the president might finI himself unable to sign.
 .If the senate wants to defeat the reciprocity bill," said Senator Mar tin, the democratic leader, why should it not be permitted to do 80, if, in it's judgment that is the best course to pursue?" Then across the aisle began an open bidding for re- publican support for general tariff revision. Senator Bailey declared he intended to offer the free list bill as an amendment to the reciprocity measure. Senator Dixon, republican, of Montana, said If the reciprocity biF was to pass he would fight for a gen eral tariff revision so the whole coun- try might feel the efforts of the pull ing down of the protective tariff wall
 If you are in earnest declared Senator Williams, of Mississippi, "just come up to the mark and we'll help you make your promise good {"
 The fight over the Gore motion dragged until o'clock. Then an attempt was made Dy senator 1al llinger to adjourn the body. The in surgents, voting with the democrats
 refused to let the figat be halted and
 with the defeat of the motion to ad- journ insurgents took up the cudgels anu explained their purpose and their 1 intentions on the tariff issues.
