  ocratic Leader Underwood said it would be three or four days before serious con- sideration could be given it,
 MT. Underwood is busy with the cot ton bill, debate on which began in the House today.
 Democratic leaders in the House infor- nIally conferred today over plans to meet the Senate's sudden move in brushing aside the House wool bill and passing the LaFollette compromise measure. General sentiment among the demo- cratic representatives early in the day seemed to favor compromise between the IaFolette bill as it passed the Sen ate and the House bill, along the lines ot a 90 per cent ad yalorem on raw wool. The counter move to concur with the Senate bill was expected. This, however, would be overwhelmingly voted down by the House. The House democrats are almost unanimous in the belief that a bill would be agreed upon in conference.
