COTTON TAX FIGHT
FOR NEXT SESSION
CAUCUS OF SENATE DEMOCRATS
SIDETRACKS FUTURE QUESTION.
IT is NOW UP TO THE HOUSE
With Recession From Lever-Smith Bill
Senator Simmons Expects Tariff
Bill to Be Signed by the
President.

Washington. - Disaifection among
Democratic senators, WHICH on Wednes-
day prevented final action on the tariff
bill, was dissipated under the influence
OF a heated caucus discussion, and the
caucus approved the bill As reported by
the conference committee of the house
and senate. But six Democrats voted
against approving the report.
The caucus decided to abandon its po-
sition on the proposition in the bill to
tax dealings in cotton futures and leave
the entire subject for later legislative
action. Both the amendment of Senator
Clarke Of Arkansas, written into the bill
in the. senate, and the less drastic admin
istration substitute presented by House
leader Underwood and adopted by the
house will be thrown out by the senate
Democrats.
After the caucus Senator Simmons
said he was confident that the senate
would complete its consideration Of the
2 tariff hill Thursday. He said a laotion
would be made first to agree to the con-
ference report, and that then he would
move to disagree to the Underwood cot
ton tax aNendment and also to recede
from the senate amendment.
With the bill thus disposed of by the
, senate, the house probably would agree
to drop the cotton futures tax provision
for the present and send the tariff bill
to the president. Senator Simmons eX'
pressed confidence that there would ne
no desertions frsm the Democrats who
voted for the bin on its original passage
in the senate when the measure appears
later.
A resolution proposing to bind the
Democrats by the caucus was offered by
Senator Lewis of Illinois, but was with
drawn with the understanding that the
binding nature of the former tariff eau
cuses applied to the entire considerable
of the tariff bill.
While Senator Simmons expects to lin
ish the bill, the desire of Republican
and Democratic senator's to discuss tn
provisions of the conference report ma!
delay final action.
