BILL COMES UP TO-DAY.
Action Taken to Rush Tari6 Resi-
sion Through.

WARRINGTON. April ton
Of the Underwood tariff blll will be
taken up in the House for debate at
noon tomorrow. Beginning on Thurs
day the House will meet at / o'clock
daily and remain In session until late
hour every night. 1t is expected the
bill will be passed and transmitted to
the Senate on or about May 10.
The Finance Committee OF the SEN
ate. by a strict party vote. decided to-
day to turn down the request for public
hearings on the tariff bill. The COM
m,ttee will receive statements or briefs.
This. like the move In the House to hold
night sessions. is designed to hurry the
passage OF the bill
With the long sessions. upon which
the Democratic leaders will insist. op-
portunity will be given to every member
who wants to speak on the bill. A
practical working arrangement has been
effected between the two houses and 30
far az can be learned there will be no
fllibuster against the bill in the Senate.
For this reason administration leaders
see no reason why the Underwood tariff
should not be approved by the President
early in July, or by July | . At the latest.
At a meeting Of the Committee on
Ways and Means it took the Democratic
members. Of whom there are seventeen
az against seven Of the opposition. only
a few minutes TO order n report on the
bill. Chairman Underwood announced
in the House when he filed it that
general debate on the measure would
be limited 10 Ave days
