Debate on Canadian Measure is
Resumed in House Today,
Dalzell Presenting Min
ority Report
CHANGES IN WOOL SCHEDULE
Fifty Per Cent Reduction in Raw Wool
and Forty on Manufactured Arti-
eles-lnquiry Into Mexican
Situation.

Washington. ID. c., April 1.-THE
debate on Canadian Reciprocity was
resumed today. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, has completed his minority re-
port opposing the measure. The vote
will not likely be reached before We'd
nesday.
So far in the extraordinary session
of congress it has been plain sailing
for the well-organized Democratic ma
jority in the house of representatives,
but, i'm the view Of a strong and
healthy minority, there are breakers
ahead.
The Democratic leaders refer with
pride to the achievements of passing
the resolution for the popular election
Iof United States senator's and tho
campaign publicity bill in two leglsla-
tive days, and to bringing before the
house the Canadian reciprocity agree
mcnt with assurances of its rati1ca-
ton by an overwhelming majority by
the middle Of this week.
To all these features of the legisla-
tive program, however, there has been,
little opposition. The wonder OF It to
the experienced observer was the dem
onstration of the smoothly running
Democratic machine. BY what IS to
follow-the free list bill approved by
the Democratic caucus and favorably
reported by the new committee on
ways and means-the rapid pace of the
legislative progress is expected to re-
ceive sudden check
Republicans to Give Battle.
The reciprocity discussion, begun
Saturday, furnished an opportunity
for the minority leaders to fash a sig
nal of their intention and TO make it
clear that the bill placing on the free
list manufactured articles in demand
by the farmers of the country will BE
fought as slrbbornly as any proposed
Democratic tariff measures ever were
opposed in the halls of congress- The
majority leaders realize that the bill
cannot be rushed through and they
are preparing to meet the vigorous
assaults upon it in a prolonged de-
bate.
