Senate Progressives
Take Up Tariff Issue

Conferences are being held frequently
among the Senate progressive Repub-
licans over the question OF what shall
be done on tariff matters. While no
definite plan has been worked out, the
probabilities are that an agreement will
be reached with the Democrats to pass
steel bill which will he higher than
the House bill, but will amount to "A
considerable reduction of existing
duties
What will be done about sugar is I'M
settled. An agreement between the pro-
greSSive Republicans and Democrats on
sugar Is not unlikely.
Senators SmOot and Penrose, of the
Finance Committee, have asked Sem
ator Cummins and one or two other
progressive Senators TO meet with them
