TARIFF BILL CONES
IN FOR AN ATTACK
SklrmlSh in Senate Indicates
Fight is Coming

washington, D. c., April 18.-The
democratic tariff revision bill came in
for it's first attack in the senate yes
terday and the skirmish outlined the
scope and vigor of the fight that will
be made against it by republican poll
tical forces when tariff discussion be-
gins in the two houses, backed by re-
quests from many interests for hear
ings on certain sections of the Under
wood bill. Republican senators made
a demand on members of the finance
committee for hearings and openly at
tackled the secret legislation" now go
ing on in the democratic caucus If
house members.
Democratic senators who replied 70
the attack made it clear that the
finance committee does not plan 20
grant any public hearings had been
given by the house committee, before
the bill was prepared, while republi-
can senators declared these hearings
had been of little value, because the
rates of the Underwood bill were not
then known.
To Make General Attack.
With many complaints and objec-
tons before them, republican members
of the senate are preparing for a gen.
eral attack on all schedules of the
bill. Senator Smooth has put two eX-
perts at work to analyze the Under
wood bill and previous measures, to
give the protectionist forces a basis
for their fight. Other repub licans, who
claim that important industries would
be wiped out by the Underwood bill,
will again insist that business men
and laboring men should have an OPP
portunity to be heard before the new
bill is passed.
The democratic house caucus work
cd over the Underwood bill throughout
the day, upholding the democratic
leaders and President Wilson on all
contested points. The wooden sched-
ule was under fire throughout the
days session Attempts to put ready
made clothing on the free list and to
alter other rates in the bill were ae-
feated.
Industry Will Be Benefited.
Representative Underwood address,
ed the members on the scope of the
bill and its effect. He declared that
reductions in wool rates undoubtedly
would injure some factories, but that
it would benefit the industry as a.
whole.
Certain factories of old equipment
and less advanced business methods,
Mr. Underwood said, probably would
be forced out of business. Such con-
Germs. he argued, were not economical
ly entitled to live, and with them out
of the way, the industry as whole
would be benefited.
Other Schedules Taken Up.
Late in the day after the wool sched-
ule had leen approved without change
the caucus disposed in short order Of
the silk, pulp and paper and sundry
schedules, voting down all proposed
amendments. The free list was under
consideration when the democrats ad-
iourned.
Representative Underwood admit
ted during the wool schedule discus
sion that the proposed rates might
have serious effect on some manufac-

These four persons were about going
forward upon singularly desperate
and unusual enterprise. From now on
they were no longer to fence with one
another, to shift from this topic to
that, with the indirect maneuvers or
house-cat intent upon the quest OF
the Friday mackerel. The woman's
face was alive with eagerness; the
oldest man looked from one to the
other with earnest calculation; Wal
lace no longer hid his cupidity;
Ryanne's immobility Of countenance
was in itself a tacit admission to the
burning Of all his bridges that he
might become a part of this conclave.
Smuggling" said the major, with
prudent lowering of voice, evidently
/ continuing some previous debate,
smuggling Is fine art. keen sport
ing proposition; and the consequences
of discovery are never serious. What's
a fine of thousand dollars against
the profits of many successful eXcur-
sions into the port Of New York?
Nothing comparatively. For several
years, now, we have carried on this
business with the utmost adroitness.
Never have we drawn serious atten-
ton. We have made two or three
blunders, but the suspicious OF the Sc
cret.servlce were put to sleep upon
each occasion. We have prospered.
Here is a gem, let US say, worth on
this side a thousand; over there we
