TARIFF BILL DELAYED
Senators Postpone Final Vote Upon
Conference Report

Washington, Oct. 1.-The entire
conference report on the tariff bill
was laid aside for "a hours in the
senate today as the result of pro-
test among democratic senators,
which resulted in the calling of par
ty caucus to go over the conference
report before it should be finally act
ed on in the senate.
The so-called insurgent forces, led
by Senator Reed of Missouri, who
circulated the caucus petition, insist
err that there were many compro-
misses and amendments agreed to by
the conference committee which de-
manded further study and considera-
ton by the democrats of the senate
before being finally written into the
bill.
The threat of republicans, includ-
ing Senators La Toilette and Penrose,
that they might try to send the con-
ference report back to the conference
committee as soon as it was taken
up in the senate, further complicated
the situation. 1t was feared that q
movement of that kind, if it received
the support of democrats, might be
sufficient to issue instructions that
would embarrass the conference.

AFLO0D OF IMPORTS
Large Quantities Of Merchandise Will
Pay Lower Duties

Washington, Oct. 4.-With the dem.
ocratic tariff law consummated, acti-
witty today was transferred from the
halls of congress to the treasury de-
partment where Secretary McAdoo
and Assistant Secretary Hamlin be-
gan the development Of a plan of en-
forcement. Treasury officials declared
that the new act will be the lowest
tariff law in the history OF the coun-
try with the possible exception of the
Walker tariff of 1846 with it's amend
atory tariff Of 1857.
With President Wilson and the con-
gressional trainers of tho law, they
declared it was a competitive tariff"
and freely expressed the conviction
that business would be tnyigorated
and sustained through its operation.
Officials were equally confident that
it would afford the government am
ole revenue.
1t is roughly estimated that $780,
100000 worth of merchandise, held in
bond, soon will be withdrawn and
payment of duty made under the law.
Compared with the Payne-Aldrich
act, this will mean a loss of SO ,OO0,-
900 to the government. Treasury Of
ficials maintained that these with.
drawals would have no perceptible
effect on the business Of the country.

Time Will Tell

Washington, Oct. 4.-Those who ex.
pect to find American stores immedi.
ately cutting prices because the new
tariff bill is now law, will be disap-
pointed, in the opinion Of Represent
ative Underwood, one Of its authors.
1t will be many months. Mr.. Under
wood believes, before the effect Of
the new tariff bill becomes evident.
1T is only competition, caused by
the new law that Is going to reduce
prices" Mr.. Underwood said today.
1T will be several months before
the effect of the new. tariff on COM
modities is felt and in many cases
it may be a year. The effect on wool
probably will not show until next
spring; the full effect on sugar not
for several years."
