body today In their party conference
deliberations on the tariff bill. When the
caucus resumed it's sessions tonight. 1t
took up right away the fight over fea-
lures of the agricultural products sche-
dule A demand had been made that all
articles be put upon a penalty basis so
that the President could have a tariff
weapon to use against countries discrimi-
noting against the United States.
House Leader Underwood talked briefly
with senators this afternoon over the
tariff situation. The democratic leaders
were not able to predict today, however,
caucus and prepared for debate before
the full Senate.
Amendments Offered
All amendments to the agricultural
schedule of the new tariff proposed by
democrats of the Senate finance COM
mittee We're approved today by the cau-
Gus, including the countervallng duty
on wheat and flour.
The finance committee later may rec
ommend enlargement of its proposed
amendment directing the President to
proclaim countervailing duties on certain
commodities when discrimination by other
Ms ticns is disclosed.
For suggested changes the amendment
to compel payment of full revenue duty
on brandies used in fortlfying sweet
wines was returned to the finance COM
mittee. Opposition TO the proposal was
aroused among California wine producers.
To Cut Long Speeches
Senate democrats put the cloture rule
to long tariff speeches in the caucus to-
day, determined to complete consideration
of the Underwood Simmons bill for re.
port to the Senate next week.
Having spent hours yesterday on n
single paragraph which was not COM
pleted when adjournment was taken, 1t
was evident that the caucus would be
prolonged unless discussion was checked.
Resolutions were adopted to limit de-
bate on each item in dispute and deny
any senator the right to speak more
than once on given subject. Again today
tho countervailing duty on wheat and
flour was first taken up with the general
countervailng duty amendment to give
the President power to retalitate against
all nations for discrimination against the
United States on any commodity.
Recommendation of the finance commit
tee for a counteryaiiing duty on wheat
and flour was finally approved by the
caucus, eight senators voting against the
amendment as follows: Fletcher, Lea.
MARITIME O'Gorman. Reed, salisbury.
Sheppard and Vardaman.
After the wheat and flour fight had
been settled Senator Newlands sought to
amend the entire agricultural schedule
and moved that the finance committee
be instructed to reduce the duty on all
food products by sliding scale of 10 per
cent a year, extending over a period Of
10 years until they reached the free list.
After brief discussion the amendment
was voted down.
