DELAYED BY HOUSE
FAILURE TO REPORT THE REcl.
PRoclTY MEASURE.
THIS NAV Be SIGNIFICANT
Committee Of Ways and Means will
. Again Assemble and Try to Agree
on Report.

Washington-The friends Of Cana
dian reciprocity in the administration
ranks and in congress met with an
other disappointment Friday when
the house ways and means committee
postponed action.
Tbs course of the committee was
something of a puzzle to the open ad'
vocates of the bill. The confusing
problem came when democratic mem'
bers Of the committee, who had been
instructed by the party caucus to
vote for the measure. assented to q
further postponement.
To reach some sort of cOmprehen-
sion of the intricacies that involve
the fate of this measure it must be
borne in mind that q majority Of the
ways and means committee is openly
and publicly committed to its sup
port, yet in the face of this majority
a motion to further delay action for
one day is carried. This may mean
much or it may mean little. but when
it is remembered that only three
fair inference that some of the pro-
fessed supporters Of the bill are not
really enthusiastic in its behalf.
Every day of delay in sending the bill
to the senate with the favorable en-
dorsement of the house means an
other nail in the coffin of reciprocity.
The ways and means committee
will meet Saturday and Mccall and
the other members who stand with
him for the bill expect to get favor
able report ordered. burt as it will be
the last day of the week they can
hardly expect to get the bill before
the house until next week; then it
must take the routine course of legis-
lation and it may be several days
more before it gets to the senate.
In the senate the measure must
take its regular course of reference
to the finance committee and there
undergo due consideration. Then,
should it come from the finance conf
mittee with a favorable report, the
bill must come in direct competition.
as matter of consideration. with
regular appropriations bills actually
required for the support of the gov
eminent. To say nothing Of the act
i've and aggressive opposition, these
contingencies must all be considered
in estimating the ultimate fate OF
the bill. While the insurgent republi-
cans of the senate. with two excep-
tics. refuse to declare their fixed pur-
pose to vote against the bill. it is be-
lieved they will array themselves
against the measure.
The committee had the Mccall bill
embracing the terms of the agree
ment under consideration for more
than one hour. Mr.. Mann, who favor
ed the wood pulp and print paper
provisions. discussed these features
in detail. The vote in the committee
Saturday will be close. but advocates
of the agreement assert confidently
that the bill will be ordered favor
