TARIFF REVISION PL M
Democratic Leaders Prepare For
Work Of Special Session.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Lemo.
cratic members OF the new senate fin.
ance committee agreed upon q plan OF
tariff action that will have an impor.
taut bearing upon the downward re.
vision plans of President Wilson and
the tariff leaders. In q conference a
%tictpated in by all democrats on the
committee except Senators Stone and
James. a policy of close cooper alton
with the house was outlined through
which it is hoped that the house bills
can be made acceptable to the senate
and pushed through that body with
but little amendment and without the
delay of committee hearings.
In order to carry out the policy OF
cooperation with the house, it is un.
derstood that the senate probably will
have to accept much greater reductions
10 tariff rates than that body APPROX.
ed last session. Members of the 6n-
snce committee expressed the belief.
however. that this willingness on the
part OF the senate would cause the
house TO exercise caution against % az
Ing extreme cute With the idea that
they would be modified in the SEN ate.
The plan will be to take all questions
into caucus, and 1t is believed ths the
caucus will support the committee.
The present democra attic strength in the
sen ate is SO to A republicans and pro.
eressives, and it is counted that even
in case of the filling of the two ILL.,
nois vacancies by the election of re.
publicans and the possible detection
OF some democrats on certain schedu.
les, there still will be enough votes to
put through any bill agreed on by
with the controlling vote held
by the democratic vice president.
