HOUSE REPUBLICANS
To OFFER SUBSTITUTE
Caucus Decides that Underwood Wool
Schedule will Be Opposed by
New Payne Rates.
DIFFERENCES ARE CAUSED

After sharp debate in an open eau
Gus last night the Republicans of the
House of Representatives decided to pre-
sent as a substitute for the wool sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff bill, the
Payne bill introduced at the last session
Of Congress.
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
insisted that such a course would be
idle. and that the presentation of any
tariff bills in the way of substitutes
might rise up to plague the Republicans
in the future. Representative Lenroot
OF Wisconsin, the La Toilette leader in
the House, warned his colleagues that
the Progressves had met the regulars
more than half way in effecting a har-
mony programme at this session. He
said frankly that if the Republicans
were holding caucuses merely to play
politics, that all concerned ought to be
so informed without delay.
Mr.. Lenroot asserted that il was the
duty of the Republicans to present sub
stitutes for the more important features
of the Underwood bill, and he expressed
the opinion that If they failed to do so
they might never again have the oppor-
tunity to write a. tariff bill.
A motion made by Mr.. Moore that the
Republicans refrain from offering a sub
stitute to the Underwood wool schedule
was defeated by vote of g. to q. The
caucus then adopted by viva voce vote
the motion OF Mr.. Payne that the wool
bill bearing his name should be offered
as a substitute for Schedule X Of the
Underwood bill when it comes up for
adoption.
The Payne bill proposes wool rates lower
than those OF the existing law. 1t is
after the wool report made
by the Taft Tariff Board. At another
caucus of the Republicans. to be held
Thursday, il will be decided whether
they shall offer a substitute for the cot
ton schedule OF the Underwood bill.
