NEW CONGRESS
 CONFRONTED BY
 MANY PROBLEMS
Complete Revision of Tariff Law, Modification of Cur rcncy system, Canal Tolls and Other Matters Are Now Pending
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON. April "A com plete revision of the tariff law; modi- fication of the nations currency sys- tenn: proposals for Philippine inde- pendence; for repeal of the Panama canal free toll provision. and for inn mediate construction of government owned railways in Alaska. are the chief problems confronting the first session of the Sixty third Congress beginning at noon today
 Summoned by President Wilson for the express purpose of revising the tariff. the new congress faces eN- treme pressure from many quarters for early action on the other subjects named. Whether any of these other than the tariff will be taken up dur ing the special session depends upon the progress made with the tariff re vision and the success that may at tend preliminary work upon a general currency reform bill.
 For the first time in eighteen years congress assembled with both its branches under control of the demo- crats and with democratic presi- dent to cooperate in shaping it's pol icies The tariff law to he passed by the special session that opens to- day will be the first general demo cratic revision of the revenue laws
 since the act of August 27. 1894

 Cleveland allowed to become law

,JoyousIy the Party i'll Full Possession of Executive and Legislative Branches Turns Attention to Sub feet of Revision
R REDUCTION IS
 MOST RADICAL
House Has Strength to Pass Bill as a Whole, But Fear Is Expressed That Senate May Balk and De feat Measure
fAssOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, April 7.-The demo- executive and legislative branches of the national government. turned the wheels of legislation today toward the revision of the tariff Leaders of the house presented the country with d tariff bill vouminous in detail and radical in it's proposed reduction or the existing duties
 AS a whole, it was the product of debate and study by the democrats from the time they came into the majority in the house two years ago. but it represented particularly the conclusions of the house ways and means committee after several months of work IL carried also the approval of the President
 Coincident with the introduction of the measure in the house. in the opening hours of the session called especially to revise the tariff, the President was turning over in his mind question of his procedure ana the strategy upon which the success or failure of the party program may depend. While the democratic major ity in the house is sufficient to secure tariff revision by single bill or hN d series of bills embracing separate schedules the situation in the senate is admittedly different as the sec ti0nal interests have already produced judgments which make the question of single bill or a series of biils all important.
 Seven democratic members of the senate finance committee, headed bY Chairman Simmons. told the Presi dent today that any attempt to put through d single bill would be hazard ous. With all the schedules nodded into a single bill he argued the enc mics of the separate schedules. feel ing certain pressure from the con stituents who might be adversely af- fected, would unite and the whole measure be defeated.
 The President said he did not he lieVe any democratic senators would seek to shoulder the responsibility of defeating the program of the party.
 He talked the situation over with Underwood late today. The latter de clared as he left the White House that the President was still undecided ana no tOItiuSlpIlS Iidtl been itftt lit'Nl Underwood said the caucus of the house democrats will begin tomorrow to consider the items and the ques- i ton of reporting the single bill from the ways and means committee or segre- 1 gating those portions around which 1 the opposition centers. will not have
 to be decided immediately The caucus l will be called at T o'clock, but will 1 immediately recess until afternoon. 1 Representative Palmer of Pennsyl- vania will preside as chairman. AS introduced, the bill can be detached ! into separate schedules any time, if in
 the debate in the house it he deemed
 best strategetically to take this ! course.
