AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION
Rep. Chandler Would Provide for Con
vention in 1920.

washington, June 12.-As part of the
Progressive party program in Con-
gress, Rep. Chandler of New York is
preparing to press resolution pro-
posing a constitutional provision that
amendments to the constitution may
be proposed by Congress whenever a
majority of both houses in the same
session of Congress shall deem it
necessary. or by conventions. or by
not less than one-fourth of the states,
providing that the one-fourth contain
one-fourth of the population of all
the United States.
The plan would require constitu-
tional convention in 1920 and every 80
years thereafter for proposing consti-
tutional amendments.

A STRENUOUS JOB.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

These schedules are now up to the
Democratic caucus.
John Sharp Williams, chairman of
the subcommittee in charge of the
administrative features of the Under
wood bill, startled majority members
of the finance committee, today, when
he proposed that commission be APP
pointed to study the entire question
of tariff administration and that
meanwhile the administrative provi-
sioIis of the Payne-Aldrich law be per-
fnitted to stand in the new Democratic
bill. The suggestion did not meet with
approval of the committee members
and Senator Williams and his col
leagues on the subcommittee, Sena-
tors Shively and Gore, were sent back
to keep on with their work of revis-
ing the administrative provisions of
the Underwood bill.
One OF the principal difficulties the
subcommittee has encountered has
been the provision in the Underwood
bill, requiring foreign manufacturers
to submit their books in cases of dis
puted valuations and the provisions,
designed by the ways and means COM
mittee to prevent differentiation.
The committeeman also have had
frouble in endeavoring to modify the
proposed amendment which would
give the secretary of the treasury au-
ihority to proclaim general import
falnes. After many weeks of study
ing these questions, Senator Williams
bad concluded il would be wise TO turn
over the whole tariff section to a COM
fnittce TO consist of three senator's,
and officer OF the customs division OF
the treasury and an official of the
department Of justice familiar with
customs affairs. The finance commits
fee ma jority, however, determined that
the committee itself should work out
the problems at once The sub-com-
mittee will make another report, to-
morrow.
