ready TO vote against the bill because it
provided for free wool denied on the
floor of the Senate that the had any such
intention.
While there has been little time for the
Senate to study the measure, definite ex
nressions of opinion are expected by the
end of the week, and in The meantime
the caucus of House democrats is ex-
pected to present a solid front in favor
of the contents of the bill. 1t is the pro-
gramme at present of Representative I'm
derwood and his colleagues of the ways
and means committee majority to recon-
mend to the caucus the adoption of the
bill in omnibus form, but Mr. Under
wood said tonight that he would be guild
ed by the exigencies of the situation and
the counsel of the President.
Can Be Detached
AS introduced TO-DAY the bill can be de-
tached into separate schedules at any
time if during the debate in The House It
should be deemed best strategicaly to
take this course.
The bill today was referred back to
the ways and means committee where
republican, members for the first time
will havefan opportunity to pass upon It's
provisions. No report Will be made by the
committee however until after the DEM
| ocratic caucus considers it.
Some OF the members OF the ways and
means committee majority favor a sche-
| dule by schedule revision, but are aligned
| with the others in acting a unit for
| pressing the committee bill it stands
The caucus may be SO protracted as to
| require number of sessions to pass upon
| the tariff. 1t will be called to order
at IL o'clock tomorrow morning, but will
! Immediately recess until 8 o. clock in the
afternoon and the session then may last
until night. The disposition of the DEM
ocratic leaders. including Representative
| Palmer of Pennsylvania, who will preside
as chairman of caucus, is to allow all the
| latitude and freedom of debate possible
so no member can say he had no oppor-
| tunity to present his views in this pre-
| limnary form of consideration
| On the ground that the tariff consid-
Grafton is legislative business Mr.. Palmer
| is understood to favor having the caucus
public while that subject is up.
Practical Effect
| John Norris of the committee on pa.
! per OF the American Newspaper Pub
! fishers association said tonight;
The practical effect of the proposed
| tariff bill upon news print paper and
pulps VIII be to admit news print pa
per and mechanical pulp free of duty

Of any sort Chemical pulp is also
admitted free of duty from all nations
with this exception that chemical pull
