REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SPLIT QN FINAL DRAF I
 IF TARIFF BILL.
Cotton, Chemical, Wool And Silk Schedules Cause Friction Among Republican Committee Leaders
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Repub- lcan members of the house ways and means committee, preparing a final draft of the general tariff bill. were said tonight to be at odds over four important schedules. What was de- scribed as an open split has occurred in the writing of schedules for chem icsl. cotton, wool and silks.
 Despite lack of agreement on these schedules and the fact that some others have passed only the sub committee stage. Chairman Fordney held to his prediction of June 10 as the date of introduction Some nern- bers of the committee, however. de- clared that the house would not re- ceive the measure short of June 20. The chemical schedule, it was said. has resulted in a continuation of the senate fight against the further use of restrictions, other than by tariff rates. on the importations of dye sfuffs-
 The chemical provisions, it was understood. have been put at the bot tom of the list of schedules awaiting consideration.
 Neither the committee nor rhe full Republican membership has es- ablished basic rates on the silk schedule, while sectional views were said to have been reflected il the attempt to fix cotton rates
 It was learned that the division on wool rates centered around the same problem as those on cotton-disparity between the rates on the raw and manufactured products.
 Sub committee drafts of the sched- nles on earthenware, paper sundries <,and minerals are understood to have ~been accepted by the majority mem bers of the committee.
 A formal call for a caucus of house Republicans next Wednesday went out today. The conference will dis cuss an attempt to determine party policy on the resolution which would make tariff duties carried by the general bill effective on the date of introduction in the house.
