would get IT,; that when the ways and
: means committee organized. he told the
committee that as everything he had was
invested in the iron industry It would re-
Iieve him of embarrassment II 1t under
took iron and steel revision first.
That interview" continued Mr.. Under
wood, referring to Bryan, charges that
there Is a difference between the speaker
Of this house and myself as to legislation
I'm this house. That statement is abso-
lutely false. We have been together. we

Representative Kitchen of North Caro-
lima. also referred to In the Bryan inter-

Kitchen declared that statement made
lacked truth; that Mr.. Bryan had been
misinformed and added that 1t would re-

express a desire to make public his IN
formant for mot a single democrat in
this. house could have given him such
information"
Mr.. Underwood he'd read q telegram from
Mr. Bryan to Representative James OF

Mr. Underwood "for his great work
"The gentleman from Nebraska did not
think 1 was trying to protectionize the
democratic party them" said Mr.. Under

him on the wooden schedule that he changed
his mind"

''The gentleman who has issued that
statement, Mr.. William Jennings Bryan OF
Nebraska" said MIR. Underwood, charges
that the chairman Of the ways and means
committee standing in the interest OF q
protective tariff has led this house into
lines that were unworthy of any Democrat
in the land .
II know II is false. Mr.. Speaker. You
know 1t is false and so do the democrats
OF this side OF the house. But we must
let the country know it Is false. The gen.
tleman from Nebraska says that my lead
ership of this side OF the house could not
stand in the open. There is not demo-
cratic member here that does not know
that IL for one moment l misrepresented
the democracy of this house in bearing my
commission l should send my resignation
to the speakers' desk, - 80 ~ e.
why steel Schedule Was Delayed
The reason why the ways and means
committee did not take up the iron and
steel schedule was that the country was
demanding a revision of the textile SEIZED
ules-sehedule X in relation to wool and
manufactures of WOOL Bearing an average
duty of 30 per cent had not been revised
fer many years.
Schedule l. the cotton schedule. bore a
duty of SO per cent covering all cotton
goods. and was proportionately equally
high. The iron aud steel schedule had
been cut by the Wilson bill, cut, by tho
Dingley bill. cut again by the Payne bill
and although IL needs. and will have fur
Their revision. the committee in its wisdom
not myself. decided that it was wiser tc
consider these other schedules first
AT the first inception I said to the
members Of the committee; I win be glad
IL you will take up the iron and stee
schedule, now and lay aside the cottor
schedule until you have revised the iror
and steel schedule down to an honest reve
nue. basis,
II see members here that heard me make
that statement and will sustain the fact
and yet the gentleman fresn Nebraska pro
