PARTY LEADERS In ACCORD.
Tariff Makers United in Efforts Look
ing to nm Early Revision il is Said.

ing to an Early Revision it is Said.
Washington, (Special)-The House,
the Senate and the President came to-
lgether informally for the first time on
the. "preliminaries" of tariff revision.
A short conference betweeen the Pres
ident and Chairman Simmons, of the
Senate Finance Committee, followed
by a longer conference between a Sen
ate subcommittee and Chairman I'm
derwood, of the House Ways and Means
Committee, laid the groundwork for a
series of three-cornered arguments
that are to follow before the tariff
bills are presented in the congress.
Senate discussions 1t was said by
Senator Simmons tonight, indicated
that the two Houses practically will be.
agreed upon the details Of tariff revi-
sion before the bills reach the House;
and that the opinions and desires of
President Wilson also will have been
fully considered. The fight over free
wool, decided by the" Committee on
Ways and Means yesterday in favor of
a Is per cent. duty, Will recur in the
Senate and the reduction of the sugar
tariff bill will also be a stumbling
block there.
While few individual items. of the
tariff revision bills were considered
by the leaders of the two houses to-
day, these subjects werS canvassed
and plans made to attempt to recon-
cile the various factions in both bodies
before the beginning of actual debate
in the House and Senate. The Senate
Finance Committee will work infor-
mally with the House Committee on
Ways and Means, and both will be in
close touch with President Wilson up
the time the bills are completed for
the House caucus.
The Senate committee will begin
consideration of the complete revision
bill as soon as it is passed upon by
the Democratic caucus in the House
and without waiting for the House to
act unon it. The sentiment in both
Houses has developed strongly in IA
vor of q single tariff bill. embracing
the whole revision, instead of a sepa-
rate bill fc~ each schedule. Should
the House adopt this plan, Senate -lead-f
ers declare tariff bill will be pass
ed In the Senate. f4N@ ERaAM

State, calling their attentions to the
great concessions in freight rates made
by the Southern Railroad to be concur
red in by the other railroads Of the
State, it is said, for shipments of lime
for agricultural purposes. The main
drawback in the past to the extensive
application of agricultural lines to the
soils of the State, he says, has been the
high cost to the farmer, due to high
transportation charges.
