The anti-free sugar democrats nave
agreed to support the amendment by
Shafroth to eliminate free sugar In
1916 and substitute duty of approx
nately half a cent per pound after
that time on refined sugar.
Democratic senators opposed to free
sugar enlivened the senatorial caucus
late yesterday. beginning their final
effort to change the schedule before
the tariff bill reaches the senate for
general debate. Western and Louisi-
ana senators We're primed to make a
titanic fight against the provision ap-
proved and urged by President Wilson
which provides that sugar shall be
free of duty in 1915. Senators Shat

schedule was reached suddenly late in
the afternoon. 1t had not been ex-
pected that the caucus would reach
sugar before tomorrow, but the metal
and wood schedules We're rushed
through without much discussion and
before o'clock the decks were clear
ed for the first and most determined
internecine party tariff struggle. This

To the decision of the caucus the DEM

the prospect is that only Senators

is a possibility of one other senator
asking for relief.

for elimination of the provision for

had been very harmonious. Not a
change was made in the report of the
majority members of the finance COM

boards and other cabinet woods.

In the metal schedule there were
four votes taken on committee amend
ments and in each case the committee
was sustained. Aluminium in the
crude state was left at two cents per
pound and in sheets and plates at
1-2 cents per pound. The committees
increase from IL to 3-4 of a cent per
pound on lead ore was sustained as
were it's amendments increasing the
duty on zinc ore from 10 to IL per
cent advalorem and zinc in pigs from
10 to Is per cent. An effort to puy
