leaders Of the House, after series OF
ropferences this afternoon with those ol
the same party IN the Senate, asserted tha'
w. ryors. 3 not IN the yielding mood as
regards The La Toilette wool Dill. bo'h
sneaker clark and Representative Under
u.ood expressed the opinion that. II COM
rror,ise bill is agreed on, IL Will closely
follow The rates 81 the Democratic Dill
The chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee discredited all reports that the
House can be persuaded TO ACCEPT the La
Toilette duties.
Speaker Clark significantly pointed out
that 10 had required "the services Of botn
-re captain and the cook 10 persuade me
House Democrats 70 unite for 20 per
cent duty on raw wool" The Speaker
could conceive of no change N sentiment
that would prompt the original free raw
wool Democrats 20 swallow a s. per cent
duty.
The Senate is going to accept eventually
something 50 close 10 the House bill that
Won can hardly tell the difference, In my
opinion observed Mr.. Clark.
Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood each srlil-
'-gy denied the Senate insurgents and the
House Democrats had started to-day a
strong game OF bluff.
rs this a legislative poker Came?" Mr.
Underwood vas asked.
Are YOU trying 70 blur La Toilette and
his crowd. and is he irving 20 blurf the
House
z never blurred IN nv Hfe." replied Mr.
Underwood d-vlv. We think well Of
IRE House bin and hope II will he agreed
~. that's all"
r was regarded as significant, however
that the champion irsurgent. Mr.. la Fol-
'erte and the leaders Of The Democratic
House made almost similar statements TO-
6sv. each side avowing It's intention &c
stand firm although II Is well understood
that both factions are exceedingly anxious
70 send a wool bill OF some sort 20 the
President The Democrats seek campaigr
material through a veto; Senator La Fol.
let-e seeks anything that might embarrass
the administration and possibly aid his owr
Presidential aspirations
In the event the President should veto the
final conference wool bill the Democratic
leaders viii begin calculations as Il
whether the bill can be passed by the
House over the Presidents veto. The In.
derwood bill passed the House on June y
ny a vote II 20 70 100. But 10 pass over a
veto two-thirds Of the House membership
~ 7ol must vote FOR the bill. That would
~ osl. or Al more than went on the record
for the original bill IN the House. There ID
nothing 20 far 10 warrant counting on the
muster Of any such added strength.
House Democrats expressed the view TO-
dsy that II the President Is TO veto a WOO
nil they would prefer 70 have him veto 6
Democratic bin rather than an insurgenr
epublican-Democratic compromise meas
ire
u Is clear to-day that the House will not
he IN hurry 10 ask for a conference. The
Senate wool bill when II Is taken UP in the
House next week will be promptly re-
iected and sent back 70 the Senate. II
VIII remain FOR that body 70 ask for a con.
ference committee. In the mean time the
general temper Of the Democrats Of thu
House Is being tested ov the leaders Many
Democrats are urging Cancellation and com
promise with the idea Of forcing President
Taft 20 pass on a wool tariff bill at once.
The Democratic Senators are discussing
the desirability Of holding caucus Mon
dav night 10 insure the general acceptance
- the House Farmers Free List bill Tn.
Democratic leaders have asked the Repub.
ucan insurgents not 10 OFFER general SEIZED
Mes in the way Of amendment 10 the bill
and most Of them have consented, with tn.
ioea that IL is better policy not to encum
Der the Free List measure with extraneoul
matter. II s asserted by the coalition tha'
the nill will PASS without difficulty.
