 Reciprocity with Canada and the tanners free list were decided at the democratic caucus tonight to be legislation to be taken up in the or der named by the house of represen- tatives. The woolen and cotton sched- ules. according to present inten- tions will follow.
 The caucus added a provision to the Underwood reciprocity bill. call ing on the president to continue ne gotiations with Canada with a view of establishing further reciprocal trade relations. Mir. Fitzgerald. of New York, fought this provision. but he was voted down.
 In the debate which followed Chair man Underwood's presentation of the general plan. a disposition develop ed on the part of several members to demand that the Canadian reel procity and the free list bills be com bined. Representatives Fucker. of Colorado. and Sherley, of Kentucky, led in efforts to override the major fly, but the program of the ways and means committee was generally sup ported.
 It is probable that the Canadian bill will be introduced Thursday.
