MONETARY REFORM
REGULAR SESSION
Administrative Reforms of
the Underwood Bill
Have Been Greatly Alter
] ed by Williams of Sub
Committee-Question of
Panama Canal Tolls.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 15.-Democratic
leaders are pushing the tariff bill to
completion and it will be laid before
the caucus of senate democrats be-
fore the end of this week In the
meantime the controlling forces in both
houses show disposition to defer ac-
tlon on monetary reform until the
regular session, this despite President
Wilson's repeated expression Of a de-
sire to see positive action toward cur
1ency reform and arbitration of trea-
ties and the extending of the existing
agreements with Great Britain and
other countries, which have not been
touched on in the senate for ten days.
The president, and Secretary Bryan
are understood to have urged Senators
Chamberlain and O'Gorman to with
draw their opposition TO the British
treaty, but both openly continue to be
hostile unless clause be inserted eX-
pressly exempting the Panama Canal
tolls and make the question subject of
ar bitration.
The democrats will work for results
In tariff revision this week. Senator
Simmons proposed that the finance
committee complete the measure by
Wednesday night for the caucus the
administrative reforms of the Under
wood bill have been greatly altered
by Senator Williams of the sub-com-
mittee. The FIVE per cent discount
eliminated, the anti dumping clause
stricken out, and the inquisitorial
clause greatly modified. All features
designed to prevent under valuations
have been revised. The fight over free
wool and free sugar is now over, so
far as the democrats are concerned,
believe the administration leaders.
Senator Simmons said today that few
alterations are expected in the caucus.
Chairman Glass expects to start the
currency machinery with the intro
duction in the house Tuesday of a bill
representing the composite views of
the president, Secretary McAdoo, Sen
a tor Owen and himself. Buckley of
the sub committee will report in favor
of open hearings during the currency
consideration.
Campaign organizations of both par
ties will soon organize. Democrats
will meet June twenty-three to choose |
chairman of the congressional commit |
tee, when a lively fight is expected.
