Washington, June 30.-A meeting
of about sixty representatives was
called last night because of COM
plants that congress had not ac-
complished what it should in the way
of legislation. 1t was considered as
a semi protest on the part OF the
new members both for that reason
and for the reason that they had
not been permitted to take q greater
perf n holrre proceed nS9
there was no cause to be uneasy,
and that congress has done all 1t
could have done, in fact more than
any other session in the same length
of time within his memory.
House republicans will caucus
tonight on the administrations per-
manent tariff bill a view to deter
mining whether 1t should be put
through as drafted. Democratic mem
bers first saw the measure yester-
day and after running through the
bill to determine how its scheduled
affected their sections, turned to the
wool schedule, particularly to see
how its rates compared with the
famous Schedule X of the Payne
Aldrich tariff act of 1909. The mem
bers found generally the rates were
in many cases lower than the cor
responding rates in the Payne Al
drich law, while others were higher.
The new bill showed increases over
the Underwood bill.
Crude oil and fuel oil, which were
on the free list of the Payne Aldrich
were placed on the dutiable list.
Members of the ways and means
committee made no official estimate
Of the amount of revenue it is ex-
pected to return, but some of them

sideration by his committee.
