 Aided by Republicans not satisfied with all of the biirs provisions, the Democratic minority made the most Of its chances and the ways and means committee lost out on three of the five amendments laid before the house
 There was not much chance of imposing duty on hides and cot ton after the house, in committee
 of the whole. had defeated amend
 ments carrying compensatory rates on their manufactured ooods. When the oil amendment was reached there was such shout of noes that roll call was
 not demanded.
 A moment later. Chairman Ford ney, trying to make himself heard above the din, which prevailed dur ing three hours of voting. announced that sentiment in the committee of the whole against asphalt had been so overwhelming that 1t was not worth while to go through the form l of calling the roll.
 More than 200 committee amend ments reached during the last few days were put up to be voted in a block.
 Just before the time to pass the bill, Representative Garner of Texas, ranking Democrat on the ways and means committee, stepped to the front with the expected motion to send the bill back to.its- framers with instruc- ! tions to strike out the American val uation and reciprocal provisions. This was where the Republicans and Dem ocrats divided sduarely on the whole tariff issue. although they had split widely on some of the earlier votes It was probably the first time sincs war time days that tbe house found ! itself with such a quorum on the eve of vote. Closing the long wrangle over the bill. Chairman F'ordney brought Republican members to their | feet by declaring it would bring greater prosperity to the country than | 1t now enjoyed.
