EVEN IF TAKEN UP AT EXTRA SESSION TT PROBABLY WILL
 GO OVER TO WINTER.
GLASS WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
Recent Developments, However, lndi- cate the Opposition to Free Trade Will Prolong the Work of Formu. latina the New Tariff.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Waehington-Ther Is some doubt yet as to whether currency reform legislation will be attempted at the extra session in addition to tariff en- actments. If currency is taken up 1t may be it will not be finished this summer, but will go over until next winter.
 The Democratic leaders are telling the president they are afraid of the currency. The odds seem to be about sixteen to one that 1t will not be talk en up before next December. but 1t is of course possible 1t may secure place Representative Carter Glass of Virginia, who will succeed MT. Fujo as chairman of the banking and cur rency commission. naturally desires a quick encounter with the currency. but 1t probably would not hurt his feelings very much to say that his mo- tives are partly due to desire to get himself quickly into action.
 The objections which are being made to the currency are tariff objec- tions. Not long ago 1t was thought and freely predicted that there would be comparatively little trouble over the tariff because of the overwhelm- ing Democratic majority in the house and because progressive Democrats of the senate seemed to be able to hold their conservative brethren In subjec ton. Moreover. 1t was supposed from what Mir Shoot and MT. Penrose sug- gested that the high tariff Repub- licans would allow the Democrats ito go full bent to destruction on the low tariff rocks" and would make no strong resistance to the adoption of any form of schedule which the Dem ocrats might suggest
 Lack Of Harmony In Committee.
 In the last day or two change has come over the fair complexion of things. MT. Wilson has learned that even among the members of the Dem. ocratio ways and means committee there Is strong opposition to anything like an approach to the free trade representative Garner of Texas, for instance, who has just been made member of the ways and means com mittee, probably will be pained if free wool is made a part of the program. Mir. Shackleford of Missouri, on whose districts hills feed sheep in thou sands, perhaps will worry if the fleeces of the hocks are to be sacri. feed on the altar

Garner and MT Shackleford combined with other members who have local industries to protect, 1t Is said, probably can be brought into line, but it is becoming certain that when the bills are re- ported to the house there will be in- timations at least from many of the Democratic members that their hope lies with the senate and that they give their votes without their whole hearts to rates which they think are too low
 The president Is being told diplo- matically by members of the house that tariff reduction is all right, but that 1t ought to be sane tariff reduc- tion The word sane is as much over worked by congressman as it Is by correspondents, all of whom probably will plead guilty to having used 1t for many months beyond the limit of the ordinary readers endurance.
 Senate to the Rescue.
 The Democratic majority In the senate is one which must be looked for with a magnifying glass; it is there, but 1t is small. Free sugar, 1t Is claimed. will not have any kind of a show in the upper house. Neither will free wool and neither will radical cuts in the rates on certain arucies manufactured in the United States Texas and the west with their sheep, Louisiana with its sugar cane, and some other states with their lumber probably will be ready through their representatives to make compromises with the representatives of the man ufacturing districts of New England.
 It is said by men close to the ad m'nistration that President Wilson finally has been convinced that much moSe time will be consumed in tariff consideration than he had any thought would he the case. This belief wars against the probability of currency consideration at the next session Then again MT. Wilson's desire, which was made known some days ago, that the country should watch tarffY leKis- lation in the senate without having its attention turned to other legislation In the house, makes it seem likely that it will be necessary for currency reform to stand waiting at the wicket until a more convenient season
 The Democratic leaders. some mem bers say. are fearful of the effect of currency legislation. They want time to study 1t. although they have been studying 1t for year. Financial sub jects will stand study better than most other things the Democrats de- clare The house is not full of Alex andCr niltons The chieftains of the party gay that with proper study the Democracy will give the country a stabis financial system They say this end ye.
