Democratic Bills to That End Win Not
Be Defeated in the Ssnate
COALITION is FORMED
Or Being Formed Between the Dem.
ocrats and the Progressive Repub-
Leans to Revise the Wool, Cotton
and Steel Schedule at the Present
Session Of Congress.

The Washington correspondent: :ot
the Atlanta Constitutioa says Demo-
cratic tariff legislation will not be
doomed to defeat in the upper branch
of congress at this session, as has
been generally feared.
A coalition between Democrats and
progressive Republicans in the senate
is rapidly taking shape, and will
result in the passage Of bills for
the revision Of the wooler, cotton
and the iron and steel schedules.
This news became known here
and as the occasion for jubilation-
Senator La Toilette of, Wisconsin,
is taking the lead in these negotfa-
tions, and eleven progressiVes have
agreed to cooperate with the DEM
ocrats in the end Of securing tariff
reductions. So the work Of long.
hard summer will not be fruitiess.
The administration counts upon
enough votes to force through Can-
adian reciprocity, with the Root
amendment to the wood pulp and,
print paper provision minated
This will be done by the votes of
Democrats and regular Republicans.
When it comes to the adoptionSef
the free list, the progressive Repub-
'icans Will insist upon several amend
ments, but If an agreement can be
reached on these, the bill Will be sup:
ported as an amendment to the Can,
adian reciprocity pact.
Eleven Of the thirteen progressiyes
have reached the conclusion that Il
would be the part Of discretion to: aid
in passing tariff bills whirh will effect
a reduction in existing scedulee.
The Underwood bill for the reyis-
ion Of the woolen schedule is, In the
main, satisfactory to them. But tkvy
will insist that the cotton scheduleae
revised also.
Then here is a strong feeling upon
the part Of the progressives that the
duties on steel and iron schedule
should be materially cut. They are
framing up the program Of their own
and wish to know the extent OF the
revision that is contemplated before
committing themselves to support any
single schedule.
There are now Al Democrats In the
senate, 81 regular Republicans, and
13 who are on occasions insurgents
to measures and policies proposed by
the regulars. This was the number
that demanded recognition from the
committee on committees as sepa--
rate organization in the Republican
ranks.
AS majority Of the senate ISIS, it
only requires five Of the progressives
to vote with the Democrats to con-
troll that body. eleven progresslves
vote with the Democrats there will be
six more than majority Of the sem
ate. But it is probable that the two
Democratic senators from Louisiana
will not be in accord with their breth-
rem on the bills for revision Of the va-
rious schedules. This would cut the
majority to four, which Is q bare
working majority but will be efec-z
tive.

AFTER The MEN
SenaEer Pemersae Wants Tie Officers Of
the Trusts Prosecuted
THAT WOULD STOP THEM
Whether the Stars and Stripes or
the Oil Barrel and the Tobacco
Tag is the Emblem Of Their
Power.

In prepared speech in the senate
Thursday Senator Pomerene, of Ohio
called upon the attorney general to
undertake criminal prosecution OF
the officers Of Standard OIL and Amer
can Tobacco companies under the re-
cent decision Of the supreme court Of
the United States in the case Of the
two corporations.
He did not ask for action on his
resolution instructing the attorney
general to begin the suits giving way
to Senator Nelson, who desired t.
speak on Canadian reciprocity, but
he Will press for a vote on it in the
immediate future
Taking up cudgels on behalf OF
Attorney General Wickersham, whom
Mr. Pomerene had criticised, Sena-
tor Kenyon declared that the present
head of the department Of jusice had
chieved more results in his prosecu-
ton Of trusts than any of his pre6e-
cessors. He said Mr. Wiekersham
did not require instructions from
congress to do his duty.
Senator Nelson created diversion
when, applauding Mr. .Wickersham's S
work, he declared that the present
governor of Ohio, Judson Harmon,
when attorney general in President
Clevelan6's cabinet, had said the
Sherman antitrust law was a deao
letter Both Senator's Pomerene and
Hitchcock were Immediately on their
feet to reply.
"That is mere Imagination" said
the Nebraska senator. "Mr. Harmon
was the official who first brought any
life into the Dw''
In his speech Senator Pomerene
declared that the Sherman antitrust
law was specific in its authority to
press such suit against conspirators
who restrain trade and, further
that the Interpretation of the statute
blythe supreme court Of the United
States was clear.
with these plain findings of fact
and conclusions by the court that this
statute has been violated, what rea-
son can be given by any sworn court
Official for not continuing his fight
against them in order to bring them
to the bar of justice?" asked Sena-
tor Pomerene. He added: CA decent
sense of self-respect requires the
government either to enforce this law
or to repeal it,
The Ohio senator declared that the
ruling Of the supreme court must be
followed up quickly in the most Wig
orous fashion cor the fruits Of these
victories will be lost to the govern
ment and to the people. Z"
The senator declared that by his
resolution it is proposed to declare
to the department Of justice in DO un-
certain way that the congress which
made him and clothed him with
power is cognizant Of the fact that
the lew has been violated; that the
court has so declared; that for 81
years no respect has been paid by
those defendants to the provisions OF
Judgment Of congress he ought to
begin those criminal prosecutions and
the resolution instructs him to do so
in order that the majesty of the law
may be preserved"
