agree at many points with Chairman

fall In with the plan OF Il majority
of the conferees
1t is reported that Mr.. Underwood
still holds the whip hand. so far as
the general principles of the reduc-
tons are concerned. but that at each
point in the development OF the new
bill, when any clash of interests has
come, the supporters of the lower
rates have won over the chairman
regularly. This none of the members
of the committee will acknowledge.
but the persistency OF the rumors have
brought representatives in congress
not members of the committee TO the
point OF believing that the new tariff
measure will not prove "a good
revenue producer as the formal sta1e-
ments Of Mr.. Underwood during the
