Wilson Seeking
 To Avoid Snags
HAS A TARIFF CONFERENCE
 WITH UNDERWOOD
SECTIONAL PREJUDICE
Admitted Fear of It Among Demo-
 cratic senators-Method of Revision
 a Perplexins Question For President

Washington, March 24-Prestdenc Wilson started work in earnest to- night on what he considers the forg- most task of his admtnistratton--re- vision of the tariff He had a long conference at the White House with Representative Oscar w. Underwood the democratic majority leader and canvassed not only the details of the tariff bill drawn by the house ways and means committee, but ave con- sideration also to the strategy nec- esSary to steer the tariff question speedily and effectively through both houses of congress.
 A Debatahle Question.
 The question admittedly uppermost in the minds of members of conres8 now is whether the tariff should be re- vised schedule by schedule or m O. single tariff bill. The parry caucus will decide the issue but the wishes of the president are being consulted
 The idea of coming to an agreement on a single measure carrying with Go the weight of the administrations ap- proval has appealed strongly to the president because it suggested moro expedioUs action and the possibility of legislation on currency and other questions before ht eadJournment of the extra session.
 To Overcome Sectional Preiudfees.
 The objection hitherto raised is be- ing erneWsd that sectional interests might bring about enough defectionH among the democrats in the senate to defeat the measure there. It has been urged that by the schedule by schedule plan, enough republican votes can be enlisted on those schedules wherein there are democratic losses to pass them without difficulty though not aa quickly. While Representative Under wood has been understood of late to favor the single tariff bill idea, it iB known that other democratic leaders in the house and members of the ways and means committee hold the oppo- site view and have hoped to convert MT Underwood to their way of think ing.
 To Provide Embassies. The president discussed the tariff today with Senators Gore of Okla.ho- ma and Hughes of New Jersey, both of whom favor the schedule by schedule process.
 Senator Gore also conferred with | the president as to his failure to se- means to enable them to accept diplo- natic positions. The senator suggest ed that perhaps congress might be able to appropriate money to build embassies and legations and take away the chief enpense which this country'a representatives abroad heretofore have been bur6ened.
 The president displayed much in terest in a possible solution of the question
