CONFEREES ARE

XII x,a,,o. ia1ldsO e}e,,
Some Doubt Expressed as
to a Compromise Being
Made on Duty on Raw
Material.

| Washington, D. c., Aug, 4-When
the conferees on the wool tariff revi-
sion bill met today Senator LaFollette
and Representative Underwood were
appointed a subcommittee to consider
and report upon the difference be-
tween the two houses. The motion
for their appointment, made by SEN
ator Bailey, was on the ground that
they represent the extreme elements
of the senate and house respectively.
With full attendance determined
upon prompt action, the committee
met at 10 o'clock.
The regular republican committee
members, including Senator Penrose
ard Senator Cullom and Representa-
tives Payne and Dalzell. were among
the earliest arrivals, and when the
question of the participation of the
four In the proceedings was raised IN
connection with their refusal at one
time to participate. Senator LaFollette
expressed the desire that they should
remain.
Il know" he said to Senator Penrose
that you will help us to make the
fight for 35 per cent on wool" The
Pennsylvania senator promptly re-
sponded that he would be pleased to
do 50.
Soon, however, there was al awak-
ening from this elysian dream. Mr..
Penrose, as chairman of the senate
branch of the committee has scarcely
called the committee to order when
Senator Bailey suggested transfer
of the details Of the proposed COM
promise to the WisCC-sln senator, and
the chairman of the ways and means
committee.
There was no opposition. There was.
however, some discussion -1ging
out general reconsideration that the
two men represented all the difference
that exists between the two houses. It
was first Senator Penrose who said that
the full committee would have nothing
to do but to register their conclusion
All the members agreed today that II
be further delay in reaching a COM
plete settlement. They will report to
the full committee tomorrow. At the
appointment of the s"b- committee tho
other members withdrew leaving the
combatants to fight the battle alone.
Both Mr.. LaFollette and Mr.. Under
wood offered contented smile, MAX

ference of convictions the contest was
to be waged in good nature on both
sides. q
The conferees generally expressed
confidence in. the harmonious con-
clusion Of the conference, but all ad-
mitted the probability Of strenuous
struggle.
MI. Underwood had difficulty 3
getting even a 20 per cent duty on
raw wool in the house while Mr. La
Toilette did not find - easy to bring all
the insurgent republicans down to 35
per cent. Neither would concede the
possibility of getting the bill through
on a complete surrender, and doubt
was expressed as to the possibility Of
success in case of scaling in either
direction. The general belief however
was that compromise on raw wool
duty somewhere between rs and 80
per cent would be agreed to.
