TARIFF
MEASURE FOR
EXTRA SESSION
Work on New Schedules Begins
in Committee in
Earnest
ENORMOUS AMOUNT
OF WORK Is INVOLVED
New Bill Will Be Reported I'm
mediately After Opening
of Special Session

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.--Real tariff
making was begun today, when
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee met In executive
session, behind locked doors. TO draft
the measure which will be submitted
TO congress AT the opening OF the
special session.
The committee faced an enormous
amount OF tecshnical evidence. Man
ufacturers have hlsd briefs, with
tables OF wage and overhead OK
penses, wage cost and selling expense
Iof their plants, as compared to those
abroad. and in order to arrive at an
equitable competitive tariff, the com
nittee must study these carefully.
The tariff bill will be reported I'm.
|medlately after the opening OF the
special session, and the new con.
gress will swing at once into the
most important work OF their regime
the revision of the tariff from one
OF protection to one OF cmpetitin
Whether the bill to be reported by
the committee will be an omnibus
measure, or a series OF bills covering
the tariff question, schedule by
schedule. will be determined by q
caucus TO be held the first week OF
the special session. II Is believed
the whole revision will be punched
and returned in one bill. Democrats
fear that with schedule by schedule
il easure, lengthy debate would pro-
long the extra session indefinitely.
