OPPOSED IN SENATE

charges that the republican members
Of the senate seek to delay action on
the Underwood tariff bill until an
artificial protest is raised in order to
bring about panic, was voiced to-
day by the democratic leaders of the
senate.
Senator Penroses' resolution pro-
viding that the senate finance commit
tee conduct open tariff hearings be-
fore the consideration of the measure
is begun in the senate, was scheduled

rose is determined to conduct a fill
buster in support of his plan.
The democrats expect Senators
Borah, Cummins and Kenyon, to op-
pose the Pennsylvania senator.

are skeptical of a report that an
agreement has been signed by seven
western democrats who are opposed to
free wool, to vote against that provi-
sion of the bill in the proposed con-
ference.
