there Is more art than the uninstruct-

Uncle Jake came stamping up the steps

FRACTIONAL STRIKE
IS NOW PREDICTED
Among the Democrats in
Congress on the Ques-
ton of the Tariff.
tNationaI News Association

WASHINGTON Nov. 16.-Demo-
cratic leaders jubilant over President
elect Wilson's announcement that he
will call by April Is an extra session
of congress to revise the tariff, declar-
ed today that no factional strife would
be allowed to interfere with the fulfill
ment of the party's pledges. There are
some early indications, however, that
the lines dividing the free trade Dem
ocrats and those advocating the tariff
for revenue only will be clearly drawn.
Republicans who are now in Wash
ington predicted today that factional
lines would be tightly drawn among
the Democrats of the house and that
Washington would see discord and dis
satisfaction before the Democratic
tariff bill is enacted. The first indica-
ton of this came in a telegram from
Boston which stated that six Demo
cratic congressman from Massachu
sets had agreed to stand together
against any reduction of the tariff on
boots and shoes.
Democratic leaders in this city de-
clare that the pledges of the Demo-
cratic party will be carried out and
are already confidently referring to
the extraordinary session as the make
good with the peoples congress.
In addition to resistance which may
develop against the cry of reductions
among the Democrats the Republicans
will continue their fight for protection
although some of the progressive Re-
publicans may go in with the Demo-
Gratis, and Senator Dixon, the Bull
Moose leader, has declared that the
Progressives who are elected to con-
gress will unite in favor of downward
revision.
