Washington. May 12.-The tariff re-
vision fight which shifted from the
house last week. will: be renewed in
the senate tomorrow. when the Un-
derwood bill comes up for reference
to the finance committee. The SEN
ate was not in session today. The
fight tomorrow will be over the PEN
rose amendment.
The house met to dispose Of what
some party leaders refer to as "chick-
en- feed" with the announced purpose
of adjourning almost Immediately for
three days. the beginning of the regu-
lar adjournments for a similar period
until June.
The president does not expect that
tho tariff bill will be amended in any
important particular. So certain IL
ne that the end is in sight that he
probably will make known his views
on the currency this week.
Used to Wilson'S Trips.
The frequent trips President Wilson
makes up capitol hill while congress is
SOCSAOA
to confer will not cause much excite
ment in the future because congress is
getting used to Mr.. Wilson's habits
since he brushed aside the precedents
OF century and personally delivered
his tariff message in the house.
The presidents known purpose to
keep in active touch with legislative
and political affairs. first evidenced
when he virtually declared the free
wool and the sugar schedules, was
further emphasized last week when
he, by personal endeavor delayed the
reorganization of the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee and
again when he summoned the house
leaders to talk over the organization
OF standing committees.
HIS participation in the congress
sional committee plans caused consid-
cradle comment. It had been planned
to reorganize the, congressional COM
mittee and to elect Representative
Ben johnson Of Kentucky chairman.
