Loudly Echo Amen" Washington Aug 14.-Repeating It's action of yesterday, when it pass ed the wool tariff bill over President Tafts veto, the house today repassed the vetoed steel and iron tariff bill within two hours after it had been returned from the white house with the presidents veto message. The vote was I'll to S3, a margin of only | two votes over the necessary two l thirds. The senate at almost the same time was engaged in passing the democratic cotton tariff bill. sent 1 in week ago by the house. Senator 1 La Follette's substitute, which rep resented the views of the tariff board, was voted down, 46 to 16, and Mir La Toilette and eight other progress sive republicans later joined the democrats and passed the bill, 36 1 to 19.
 An amendment was attached re- pealing all but the pulp and paper section of the Canadian reciprocity | law.
 The re- passed steel bill was sent | immediately to the senate and re- posed tonight with the wool bill among papers technically on the desk of the president of the senate. Both measures will be called up Friday by l Senator Simmons, and an attempt made to repass them, but the demo cratic leaders have little hope they can obtain the necessary two-thirds vote.

 success of the democratic program

There was chorus of protests from the republican side, Minority Leader Mann declaring that only bills on the call endar could be considered Mir Underwood retorted that a de- mand for immediate consideration was a constitutional privilege and could not be denied. Finally Speak CT Clark sustained MT. Underwood Mir. Mann promptly appealed from the ruling and demanded roll call. The chairs position was sustained, 241 to 10.
 Detection of the republican pro- gressives" in the house angered for mer Speaker Cannon. In the course of an attack on the proposal to re- peat the wool bill performance, he spoke in bitter terms.
 "They call themselves republi- cans" he thundered, with clenched frsts u1raised, but I am not one of them"
 Thank Cod remarked the insur- gents amidst laughter.
 Majority Leader Underwood made spirited attack on motives that prompted President Taft to veto the steel bill, which, he said, had been passed by a republican senate with | two slight amendments He referred to the presidents explanation that congress had been made in the schedule as it was presented to him last year and that congress had vouchsafed no explanation for these changes.
 "A statement of that kind in a great public document is not only lamentable but it Is pitiable," said Mir Underwood "He vetoes a pub- lie measure because in the lapse of years time the congress of the United States had determined to change the rates in that bill and have not communicated to him our reasons for the change of rates in the two bills, forsooth it must re- ceive lis veto.
 Any man of intelligence or any man of conscience. any man having respect for himself would not send to the congress Of the United States that statement as reason for de- feating the will of the American peo-
