1T will merit study on the part of
the tariff commission whether in all

Questions of trade policy are here in

The French repeatedly expressed re-

all articles exported from France to
America the duties are exceedingly
high. 1t was explained to them that
in our tariff legislation luxuries are
selected as most properly paying the
highest revenue" The chief exports Of
France to this country, it is pointed
out. are luxuries.
The French object to high United
States rates on their products, consid :

our special Treasury agents upon the

out that America is almost the only
country that does not enjoy the most
favored nation treatment on the part
of France"

STEERERS TO MEET
AND MAP PROGRAM
Senate Managers Confronted
by Many Measures Desired
by the President.
EXTRA SESSION LOOMS UP

The democratic steering committee
is to meet this morning to wrestie
further with the question as to what
bills shall be placed upon the legis-
Iative program for the remainder of
the present session. With only
twenty nine days. exclusive of Sum
days. left of the session. it is apparent
to the leaders that some of the meas
ures which have been on the Presi-
dents program must be laid aside for
action during the next Congress. what
is troubling the steering committee is
to make a selection of bills which will
prove satisfactory to the majority
members of the Senate.
Differ on Desired Measures.
Various groups of senators are urg-
ing that this or that bill be placed on
the calendar and given the right of way.
Threats have been made that If this bill
or that is not included in the program
there will be obstruction for all leg
islation. 1t is realized that if any de-
termined filibuster or dilatory tactics
are adoped. none of the desired leg
islation can be put through the Senate
before March 4, and even some of the
An extra session would be necessary
if all the proposed legislation is to be
acted upon. But the democrats desire
to avoid an extra session, particularly
as there is strong probability that the
republicans will organize the next
House. which would make it extremely
difficult to put through administration
measures.
The belief prevails among some of the
democratic senators that there will be
little or no legislation beyond the APP
preparation bills and the proposed
revenue bill, and that Congress Will
then adjourn and no extra session will
be called by the President.
Democratic Senator Quoted.
One democratic senator said last night
that mot in hundred years" could the
President get through the Senate and
the House any bill which would make
it unlawful for employees of the rail-
roads to strike pending an investiga-
ton by the government.
THE only railroad legislation which
can be put through can be put through
tomorrow" said this senator. There
would be no use calling an extra ses-
sion to attempt to put through strike
suspension BILL
1t was pointed out yesterday that
should the Supreme Court hand down
decision in the Adamson eight-hour law
case holding that law to be unconstitu-
tional. then the railroad situation would
be the same as it was last September. and
the President might feel called upon
to call an extra session to work out an
eight-hour law which would stand the
test of the courts.
