Washington, June z3.-Wilson In
formed his cabinss that he win sign

The Underwood tariff bill as amend

made the target for Republican at
facks.
With large additions to the free
list and drastic reductions in the metal
schedule. the Underwood tariff bill as
amended by the senate finance COM
mittee and reported to the Demo
cratic caucus was made public here.
The revenue producing qualities OF
the bin have been increased, however.
in the face OF many reductions by q
provision imposing a duty OF five
cents bunch on bananas and remov-
ing from brandies used in fortifying
American wines the large preferential
heretofore given them.
Wheat and -four have been retained
on the free list subject to fixed
countervailing duty. The bill as re-
ported is expected TO produce Ave mil
lion dollars more revenue than as
passed by the house The only mate
rial increase in duty was in the cot
ton schedule. This, like the wool
schedule. was reclassifed to place
slightly higher duties on highly manu-
factured products.

Gus by the senate finance committee.

rim and colors obtained from anthra-
Gene have been added to the free list

Opposition to the Owen Glass cur
rency measure was voiced BY the mi
nority members of the senate barking
and currency committee The pro-
posed Democratic bill was termed an
extension OF the Vreeland measure and
contains defects that must be eliml-
mated before 1t is enacted into law.
The Republican committeeman also
asserted that the currency legislation
could not be enacted at the present
session OF congress without Republi-
can support.
Federal control of banking as pro-
vided in the new measure was criti-
cized especially and the different
rates OF interest provided for the pre-
posed banking regions were attacked
Senator Nelson. ranking minority
member OF the committee, said:
Il believe many changes will have
to be made before the public viii
sanction the new bill.
4 Thought they we're going to give
us something new" said Senator Bris-
tow. but they only have foisted off
the old Vreeland measure with all its
defects"
I think there are many things that
VIII have to be changed in the meas
ure.' said Senator Weeks, though 1
am heartily in favor of currency legis-
lation during the present session..
